US Soccer Team hears "Osama" chant in Mexico

Call me touchy, but if Mexico boos the US anthem and cheers for Osama at a soccer game, why in the name of Sweet Sassafras does GWB want to make it easier for Mexicans to get here and live here. Spending is out of control, immigration policy is blowing in the wind and Dem policy on security, immigation and spending is likely to be worse if they win the WH.
If they hate the US let them stay home.

The Shadow of Sharia SpreadsJanice Shaw Crouse on Sharia & Iraq on National Review Online: "Nigeria is learning this lesson the hard way. Examples abound: 23 Christian women have been brought before Islamic courts, charged with non-compliance with the Muslim dress code, or prostitution (i.e., being unmarried and older than 13 years). At the University of Maiduguri in Borno state, female students have been forced to adhere to the Islamic dress code in order to sit for exams, and some are being expelled from the university for failing to do so. Eleven female nurses were fired in Azare when they refused to exchange their nurse uniforms for Islamic attire. "
Canada Speaks: No One Notices
AxisofLogic/ Canada

Maybe it's their French legacy, maybe it's too many pucks to the head, maybe they prefer Saddam's bluster to W's swagger, and Chretien's cynical smile to W's grin. Maybe Canadian's have something against ordinary Iraquis, who have benefitted mightily from W's intervention on their behalf. regardless, Canada doesn't like W. Most Americans won't notice and Canada has no electoral votes, so it makes no difference at all.
Enough time spent on Canada.

Pressure Cooker
The pressure's on Bush and Blair to explain why WMD are not being found. I maintain they will be, in Syria, or buried, perhaps. Regardless, the war has made the world a safer place, IMHO.

The pressure's also on Osama (or whoever is fronting for him; I still maintain that he is long dead) to strike at the US again. 9/11 is a tough act to follow, since we are on alert; tagets that tempting are no longer so soft. US might has been projected on the Muslim world in a big way since 9/11, and they haven't been able to do much to counter it. The Muslim street which seems to be a pretty gullible lot must be wondering exactly what Osama accomplished with 9/11. Sort of like a mouse off in the corner doing his darndest to emit a mighty squeak only to find a Red Wing construction boot smashing his skull the next instant. He got the attention of the West, and now what? Osama can't even show his face. One might suggest he peaked too early. I'm sure they're trying day and night, nasty little demons gnashing their teeth trying to pull off a stroke, and wondering why Allah isn't helping out.
Pressure's on, Osama.

Sharia Spreads IT's Ugly Shadow
Like Sauron, sharia spreads the shadow of darkness across the earth.
Where's frodo when you need him?

Paul Marshall on Sharia & Nigeria on National Review Online
Hillary for Veep

Dick Morris explains why the dem nominee should give Hillary a chance to run for VP, and why hill should say yes. He makes a convincing case. I wonder how many pollsters the Clintons will employ to help them determine whether a Dem has a real chance against GWB. At this point things look good, but I can't help but believe the election will be determined by events out of control rather than by the reasoned machinations of politicians.

The More I Know about Islam...

The hypocrisy of the Islamic rulers has no limits. It gets easier to understand why women must be covered at all times. Islam breeds men who have no control over their passions, and need have none as long as sex slaves are available. The denial of basic rights to women (such as driving a car) makes it easier to subjugate them and objectivize them. How could profit be made from sex slaves if women had any capacity to object, or resist?
You recall that feast where Satan's temptation of Muhammed? Who says Muhammed didn't succumb?

Nobel Prize Annual Joke

The Nobel Committee continues it's race with the UN to the ash heap of history. It is posible that more evil is done in the name of peace than in the pursuit of war in these times.
Of course, Rotters,oops, that should read Reuters, presents what purports to be news in it's usual subjective manner.

Muslim Holiday Celebration

Mullah Omar reminds us that the typical Muslim can only be faithful to Muslim values if they are imposed by the threat of violence. Allah seems to rely heavily on police to keep the world free from Muslim recognized sin.
Also, it appears that Osama is believed to be alive and hiding in some rat hole. That bottle of champagne comes out of the fridge the moment we get him. I'm still betting that he's toast, however. If Saddam could convince the world he had extensive supplies of WMD, I suppose it's a piece of cake to convince us that Osama is still breathing.

What is Truth?

Ananova - British book sparks ancient manuscripts destruction

Scholarship is hard to maintain in the best of circumstances. We can certainly hope that scholars love the truth, seek the truth, strive to publish truth...In the worst of times, truth is whatever the mob determines it to be. If Oxford U press pulls the book after a mob riots in India, destroying tens of thousands of ancient manuscripts in the process, what hope is there for scholarship? For truth? If Oxford U Press is representative of Western intellectual culture in a general sort of way, what does it say about Western intellectual culture that OUP surrendered to the mob, pulling Mr. Laine's book from the market. They may as well join in the book burning fun.

The Dowd Secret
I've finally gotten a handle on Dowd. Never carry a thought to completion. If she thinks the way she writes, no wonder she holds the opinions she does. She throws an idea out there, maybe raises a question, possibly suggests an answer, then on to the next hal-thought. Thanks God there still exists in this world journalists and commentators who construct and present arguements with logic and precision. To be fair, I should add that Dowd's main reason for writing seems to be entertainment rather than information, education or persuasion. Maybe she'd be better suited to SNL.

French Corruption Rules Policy

Just so we don't think France needs to be taken at its word, David Frum reminds us that the level of corruption in French society and government is so deep that hip boots won't help. Policy is dictated by a need to accomodate, not rock the boat for fear of all levels of society being swamped. A nation built on lies cannot stand on principle.
We're not perfect, but we do on occasion throw the scoundrels out.

Moveon.org sponsored an advertisement contest as well, in which enthusiasts likened Bush to Hitler. Moveon cn't get enough hyperbole, it would seem.
On Deck

Calling on Syria and Iran to be the next regimes to be changed is one thing, moving France from the list of Allies to the list of rivals or enemies is the real story.
In the long term it may do France some good, force them to wake up and smell the coffee, so to speak, before they wake up with Notre Dame a mosque.
