Livin' In America

Don't thay have anything better to do?

I mean, now that the amnesty bill has gone down to defeat, and Americans are demanding the border be secured, maybe they could do something about that.

Via Sky News, Fox News is reporting that "an Asian man or men" drove a car into the main terminal at Glasgow airport, and then exploded it.


UPDATE: There were two people in the car. They fled the car after exploding it, were tackled by taxi drivers and passengers, and are now in police custody. Sky News is talking about four people being in custody. Four?

UPDATE: AP says two people were arrested. Sky News is now saying three people were arrested.

UPDATE (12:14 PM EDT): Sky News says "injuries are being reported".

UPDATE (12:27 PM EDT): Sky News now says two people are under arrest.

UPDATE (3:55 PM EDT): From an eyewitness: "Every time he threw a punch, he'd shout 'Allah'."

UPDATE (7/2/2007): As of today, five people have been arrested. The New York Times and Fox News - among others - have been describing the bombers as "disenfranchised", which is they they hate us. On cue, two of the bomb plotters turn out to be medical doctors. Disenfranchised? My ass! Ungrateful? Absolutely.

Well, of course! She's married to the Breck Girl, after all.

Good for him.

Obviously, he never told an ex to put a "little ice on that".

I live in Georgia because I love stories like this.

It should be noted, however, that while there are "former" marines, there are no "ex" marines.

Well, except in cases of dishonorable discharges, I guess.

Oh, and Jack Murtha, obviously.

From Atlanta, an upcoming political suicide.

Or maybe not. The guy's operating at a local level, and Georgia is pretty strongly Republican, despite the fact that its two Senators appear to see their job as selling Washington to Georgia, rather than representing Georgia in Washington.

The Muslim world is nutting up again.

Mohammed Ijaz ul-Haq, Pakistan's religious affairs minister makes a typical point:

"The West is accusing Muslims of extremism and terrorism," ul-Haq said. "(But) If someone exploded a bomb on his body, he would be right to do so unless the British government apologizes and withdraws the sir title."

The point being, I guess, that temporal honors can deserve temporal suicide bombs, delivered by spiritual nutcases.

Or maybe he's agreeing with the accusations that Muslims are extremists and terrorists, but that the West is only getting what it deserves.

I wonder if he's stopped beating his wife?

Life imitates Scrappleface.

How to advertise a job so that it's one Americans won't do.

Key point:

And our goal is clearly not to find a qualified and interested U.S. worker. And you know in a sense that sounds funny, but it's what we're trying to do here. We are complying with the law fully, but ah, our objective is to get this person a green card, and get through the labor certification process. So certainly we are not going to try to find a place [at which to advertise the job] where the applicants are the most numerous. We're going to try to find a place where we can comply with the law, and hoping, and likely, not to find qualified and interested worker applicants.

What do you call 5,000 lawyers on the bottom of the ocean? Yes, a good start.


UPDATE: The lawyers in question pulled the video above. However, through the power of the intertubes, here it is.

Let's face it: Palestinians are complete savages. Palestinian men, born with a penis in one hand, and a Koran in the other, are not to be trusted with anything sharper than a crayon.

They never miss a chance to miss a chance, including voting Hamas into power.

Now, having screwed themselves comprehensively, they're fleeing from the rancid stew they've created *to* civilization.

I think Israel and Egypt should completely seal the borders on this rabid mob and let them commit mass murder/suicide.

Has anyone thought about filing crimes against humanity charges against the UN organizations that sustain Gaza?

Disturbing, yet oddly attractive.

But why must the cat die? I mean, are "eggs over easy" so controversial?


From the guys who brought you Tamagotchi. And Mr. Sparkle.

Wow!


This guy is *so* getting laid.

I wish I could rant this well.

What he said.

What's missing here?

Why, the fact that William "Cold Cash" Jefferson is a DEMOCRAT! Even his Washington Post profile leaves out his political affiliation.

Today is the anniversary of D-Day.


UPDATE: "I never thought I’d say this, but life was better under Adolph Hitler."

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Everyone remembers Abu Ghraib, right? Thought so.

This doesn't seem to have made it into the news, however.

Probably a Religion of Pieces thing.

"Say what you like about the tenets of national socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos."

There's more wisdom in The Big Lebowski than a lot of people realize.

Speaking of which, plan your trip now.
