Livin' In America

In future, dictators are going to have a harder time running up foreign debts.

Which is as it should be. I think it'll be very helpful to establish this principle internationally, that if you loan money to murderous regimes, you can't expect to see it returned.

Everyone loves Hillary!

In other news (all the way down at the bottom, second to last paragraph):

"President Bush was the first or second choice of 29% for most admired man. That's one of the top three scores for men since Gallup began asking the question in 1948. Last year, he was first with 28%. In 2001, Bush scored the highest ranking ever for most admired man with 39%."

In other words, in the past three years the President has scored some of the very highest scores for any man since Gallup started polling in 1948.

Just the sort of news to bury at the bottom of an article entitled "Former first lady tops current one in admired list."

Not that there's any media bias, or arrogance, or anything like that.

Haroon Siddiqui, the Toronto Star's editorial page editor emeritus really hates America.

What's kind of funny is just how far his take is from reality. About the distance from Toronto to Conoor, India.

For example George Bush, far from being a small man in a big job is a man who has grown in office. Far from leading America into a dark chapter, his policies are persuading Arab dictators to surrender preemptively. The Muslim world now clearly understands that if you play around with the UN, especially in the area of WMD, threaten your neighbours, and especially if you look like a threat to the US, you will end up spending a couple of months on the lam before your mug shows up on TV as you get an oral exam from a US Army medic. There aren't many maximum leaders who relish an end like this.

They all understand that if you pull an Osama - start something big against this President without having a plan B - you will go down, hard. I'll bet you that Islamofascists around the world are praying for Dean for President. Praying so hard they're sweating.

Anyway.

The US, far from being paranoid, is utterly resolute. Islamofascism has America united with a coalition of over 30 nations, utterly committed to making sure that airliners-as-weapons is not followed by an Islamic dirty bomb detonated somewhere in the world. This coalition doesn't include the UN - a debating club for kleptocrats - or profiteers like France and Germany, who'd watch Saddam commit mass-murder if they could make a profit on it.

Ultimately, what Haroon Siddiqui really hates is America's moral leadership. Americans are supposed to lurch from crisis to crisis in a haze of incompetence and ignorance, not liberate nations from mass-murderers.

American politics are soooooo predictable.

Howard Dean, having sewn up the looney left of the Democrat party, is now trying to be a bit more centrist.

Finally, the French are joining the war on terror.

ABC loves a paedophile.

Ratings, don't ya know.

'nuff said.

One more step on Hollywood's mephitic path towards the lowest levels of hell.

Finally remembered he was an actual man.

Poor sod. I hope he'll be a lesson to the rest of Hollywood-drenched America.

Yeah, those white guys. Can't trust 'em to treat anyone right.

Unfortunately.

Blame Canada
Blame Canada

With their beady little eyes
And their heads all full of lies...

Blame Canada...

The Arabs are coming to heel, and so are the Iranians.

Woohoo!

Will leftists finally hang their heads in shame?

I have to tell you: When I read stuff like this, I want to kill myself, I'm that ashamed of being a human being.

For leftists, this is just a chance for more propaganda.

Motherfuckers.

Palestinian children collect pictures of terrorists like baseball cards

Call me when the UN has moved out.

Bethlehem? Isn't that a Palestinian town?

Jeez (as it were), I guess at least one set of Arabs is getting the downside of being seen as hawk-nosed, towel-headed, knife-between-the-teeth, surprise-attack sociopaths.

If there was a way to tie Yassir's income to this, we'd have middle east peace and harmony without the two coming invasions. (Hello! GWB! Are you listening?)

First thing we have to do is get the UN out of the West Bank. Without them to sponsor generations of psychopathic behaviour, the Palestinians would have to come to terms with the fact that THEY LOST ("Vae victis!" as I learned it in secondary school.). Soon afterwards, they'd have to consider how to make money, instead of living on Kofi's and Saddam's goodwill.

Soon afterwards, we'd see "Christians Welcome" and "Jews for Jesus Welcome" signs all over the West Bank. Soon after, the "Jews Welcome" signs would go up. Soon after, Cairo TV's broadcasts of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" would get laughs from both sides of the semitic divide.

As long as the UN gets to do its thing, we're going to be threatened. It may have served us when we faced the Russians. It doesn't serve now. Scrap it.

Yeah. Right.

If the Kurds had captured Saddam first, there wouldn't have been any body parts left to swab for DNA.

Saddam wasn't terribly smart.

Thank God.

Why am I getting the feeling that we're going to spend the next few years discovering that the Clinton administration knew everything and did nothing?

Bill Clinton will eventually have to go down in history as America's worst President. He put himself, his penis, and his career ahead of everything else, including the nation's security.

It's a slim consolation to know that he's mortal.

God forbid we'd ever hear about how the watermelons (green outside, red inside) might try to destroy an innocent man.

Hi Kofi, ever read that there was a staggering amount of plunder as a result of the oil-for-food program and other schemes?

The one great thing about GWB is that he's showing up the UN for what it is: a debating club for kleptocrats.

Saddam will receive a fair trial, and a hanging.

The French, as usual, will be left with a collection of intellectual collaborators, some of whom will eventually receive the Nobel Prize. Just like that human stain, Jimmy.

I thought the American invasion of Iraq was destabilizing the Arab world.

Instead, it seems to be coming to heel quite nicely.

I guarantee you, Gaddafi took a look at the efficiency of the US military in Iraq, shat himself, and starting looking for terms. No spiderholes for him. Oh no.

I htink we're about two invasions away from peace and harmony thoughout the entire middle east.

I hope the last Jews to leave Europe will turn of the lights on the way out the door.

I'll be out of town for the week. In the Bahamas.

Jane Fonda has lost it.

Message to Jane: The "vagina-friendly men, who choose to remain emotionally literate" are not the men who put their lives on the line to keep you in a country where you can lazily fart out this diarrhetic stream of nonsense. No, your freedom is assured by the men who "don't like to be considered 'soft' on anything." You know, the men you protested against in Vietnam.

You know, the men you worked to kill.

You know, the men you belatedly apologized to.

Should we now consider that apology withdrawn, in favor of those who get called "wimp, pansy, pussy, soft, limp, momma's boy?" The metrosexuals?

Go flounce around an AA battery, you fool.

Update (12/20/2003, just back from Nassau): Hi Jane! It just occurred to me to ask: When did *you* ever marry a man who was vagina-friendly, who choose to remain emotionally literate?

Quick answer: Never! You've had a great time getting fucked by actual real men. It's only now, in your dotage, that you recommend the pussies to your sisters. What? Bogarding cock? Want to recommend whiskey-deltas to others so you can keep the remaining manly meat for yourself?

Stickin' it to whitey!

I wonder what Howell Raines is thinking, right about now?

You have to love Jayson Blair! He truly knows how to play the race card. His skin color got him his job (white liberal guilt) and now it's got him a rich book advance (angry black man).

Blair is a liar. He's a huckster.

And now he's rich.

In a few years, he'll probably be running for President, for the "Mandingo" Party, previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Democrats, Inc.

So, Le Monde is worried about the Iraqi powderkeg?

Watch this when you get the chance. France has been building its own personal racial bonfire for decades. Now that its Islamic citizens are acting out - attacking Jews, burning synagogues - Le Monde decides to say that it's caused by the US invasion of Iraq.

Oh, and that footnote about "Black November." Listen: Saddam is losing 15 troops for each American. The whole Ramadan uprising thing went nowhere. Americans are now going to Iraq as tourists.

Iraq will be pacified real soon now.

Damn! Susan Estrich let's the cat out of the bag.

Osama didn't realize it, but he'd have done a lot more damage to America by endowing a chair of middle-eastern studies at some trendy university.

Instead he had his guys take swan dives into the WTC and Pentagon. So now, instead of being represented by some glib academic, all the mindshare he's got is bound up with pictures of hawk-nosed, towel-headed, knife-between-the-teeth, surprise-attack sociopaths. In America, you don't get to recover from that sort of press.

In the same way, the Democrat party has decided its election image is going to be a rabid rottweiler having a go a Geroge Bush. You know, this guy. This is going to work for the Stalinist end of the party, but everyone else is going to be running for the doors.

Mark it: this is going to be one of the most brutal election years ever. The Democrats are going to paint the President, hell, the entire Republican party, as having committed every crime in the book from jaywalking to genocide, by way of pedophilia and stampeding catle through churches.

Rush is done for.

His attorney isn't arguing law, he's gone straight to the "fishing expedition" line. Like lawyers say: if the facts are on your side, bang on the facts. If the law is on your side, bang on the law. If neither the facts nor the law is on your side, bang on the table.

Banging the table this early in the game says to me that Rush is going down.

Oh, incidentally, how do you feel about *your* medical records, right about now? Anything there you wouldn't want seen by some jackbooted fascist thug State Attorney?

One reason to learn Spanish.

Hear Castro lose it.

This made me laugh.

Recently, some of my America-hating acquaintances were attempting to bate me over the strength of the Euro.

Bate away!

Here's the deal: Every cent the euro rises against the dollar is

- Another 100,000 gallons of French plonk that no American will ever drink.
- Another 100,000 Americans who won't be visiting France
- Another 100,000 export-based European jobs lost
- Another 100,000 export-based American jobs gained
- Etc.

This strong euro is a millstone arond the neck of European recovery and you have to be blinded by love for Europe and hate for America not to see that.

Brussels has finally caught on.

Now we're going to see all sorts of bending of European and European Union law to stabilize the currency. It's going to be an utter laugh watching them bend themselves into pretzels to preserve their bridges-to-nowhere currency.

So, French journalists are going around inciting Ba'athist thugs to take potshots at jets.

I say we return the favor: put a bunch of French journalists on a French jet, and put it up against a Hawk missile battery.

Pour encourager les autres, as it were.

I'm having a sort of apres moi le deluge feeling about this.

Next I'm pretty sure that we're going to see suits to normalize incest, beastiality, and pedophilia.

Ho hum.

How can you tell?
