  1. This is a tip without a link: If you have HBO (I subscribe for the boxing) they’re periodically airing a very good documentary called “Terror at the Mall: the Nairobi Siege”. It’s harrowing viewing, with lots of footage (security cameras and other), but it gives a good sense of timelines, the incredibly bungled response, the courage of particular Kenyans, etc.
    It doesn’t take a didactic tone on Islamism, leaving it as the subtext rather than the topic, but it doesn’t pull any punches either and lets the events and actions speak for themselves, often through the survivors.
    More than a bit enraging, but highly recommended.

  2. Apparently, in a show of solidarity, Obama supporters have attacked the Pakistani power grid with measurable success.

  3. That is *exactly* what welfare was intended to be. It just wasn’t sold that way. Google: LBJ “voting Democrat for 200 years”

  4. Me too. Mainly Disney. I never liked Disney, even as a child.
    I divide the world into people who like Looney Toons and people who like dancing/singing/sassin’ teacups and related schmaltz.

  5. And we have learned nothing from the Nairobi siege as right now in any large shopping centre an empty store can be rented and arms smuggled in to be used as the base for killing infidels. Do you know the name of Mohammed’s mother and the first lines of a Islamic prayer? Better memorize it now.

    You knew Walt when he was a kid? Wow! You must be really old! :~D

  8. A great interview here where Winnipeg rock jock, and morning, man Wheeler asks the author of the hit piece MacLean’s just put out on Winnipeg some hard questions about her “article”. -Shocker- the problems really aren’t about ‘racism’. Something they obviously don’t teach in journalism school is that if you can’t properly define a problem you are not helping, you’re actually making it worse.

    “Spanish newspaper: Europe got Muslims for Jews”
    “The truth must be told! All European life died in Auschwitz
    By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez*
    I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth – Europe died in Auschwitz.
    We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, and talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.”

When we as a collective world community, all nations working together, are able to really prevent global warming, that would be fantastic. That would be the first time that the climate doesn’t control us, but rather us controlling it. We could make sure that all future generations will have a stable climate.”

    “… the Nazis ARE the hard left. Stop perpetuating the myth Hitler was a conservative Republican. He was a hard core socialist and ally of Stalin and Mussolini. Nazis despise freedom. Communists despise freedom. Fascists despise freedom. Democrats despise freedom. And the other thing they all in common: They all hate capitalism (economic freedom and individual choice).”

  13. Wonder if that means Tsipras would turn down a German bailout? Not likely that the German’s will offer on though.
    Greece will implode under this guy.
