My U.S. non-representative, Cynthia McKinney (D, Araby) has not voted for any pork-barrel spending. Yay!
But then, she hasn't been going to work, either.
But then, she hasn't been going to work, either.
Here's how the hostilities in Lebanon will play out:
Israel is going to kill most or all of Nazrallah's cadre in south Lebanon. Israel is going to destroy all of Nazrallah's war materiel in south Lebanon. Israel is going to kill most or all of Nazrallah's command element in Beirut. Israel may well kill Nazrallah himself, though word on the street is that he's now hiding in the Iranian Embassy. (Yugoslavian Chinese Embassy, anyone?)
Israel is then going to cut the road between Beirut and Damascus. That done, Nazrallah will be in the position of having lost his cadre, his supplies, his command element, and his lifeline.
Then Nazrallah's chicken is going to come home to roost.
Nazrallah and his cadre tried to start a new civil war in Lebanon through a series of car bombings. The Christians and others who were attacked didn't rise to the bait, but they haven't forgotten either. Nazrallah alone on the ground is going to end up like one of his victims: hacked to pieces in the street.
His end will be as enjoyable as it will be instructive.

I'll bet the perp votes Democrat, and had contributed to Cynthia McKinney's (D, Araby) campaign.
UPDATE: Darn! He's not listed as a contributor. But I'll bet he does vote Democrat.
UPDATE: According to the MSM he did it bacause he was suffering from mental illness. If so, it's an illness shared by the billion other muslims who hate Israel and think murdering innocents is the best way to expres their anger. And hey, don't take it from me, read what they're saying.
UPDATE: So, in the last couple of months we've had this killing, seven muslims arrested in Miami for conspiracy to bring down the Sears Tower, and seventeen muslims arrested in Canada for conspiracy to murder (by beheading, naturally) members of the Canadian Parliament. I remember when Timothy McVeigh pulled his stunt and all the blame that was painted with a broad brush on conservatives, from Rush Limbaugh on down. Why are we not seeing the same tarring-and-feathering here? Why are these murderers and putative muderers either non-topics or mentally ill? Probably because of the beheading thing, but when did the religion that wants to kill us all become so politically correct? I vote that we gather up all the non-citizen muslims in this country and send them back to the middens they came from. Any muslim citizen who commits an atrocity needs to be on a fast trck to hell. Teach them the only way they'll learn: through pure naked force.

Cynthia McKinney (D, Araby) appears to be losing support.
Of course, the poll was conducted among those who can vote for her, not among those (in Amman, Riyadh, Damascus, Cairo) who actually *support* her.
UPDATE: More here.
UPDATE: Of course, Cynthia McKinney (D, Araby) is actually going to lose because Chimpy Bushitler McHalliburton personally hacked the Diebold voting machine software to switch votes to her opponent. THEY SAW IT!!! WITH THEIR OWN EYES!!!!

This trend exists for just about every newspaper, I'd bet.
This is why the MSM never reports good economic news. From its perspective, the economy is in a death spiral.

Cynthia McKinney: MIA.
I pay the taxes that pay her wages, and she's been absent without any explanation. I am more un-represented than ever.

So. The roads are out. The airport's out. The ports are out. And the Israelis are massing on the border.
Reminds me of The Mother of All Retreats. We blocked all exits from Kuwait. Then we attacked. Then we bombed the traffic jams. To hell.
Here's to a short life for Hezbollahstan.
UPDATE: Khaaan!!!!!!!! Hey, if I were in a south Lebanon bunker right now, that's where my attitude would be.

This morning's news was full of teary calls for Isreal to stop bombing "Lebanese" civilians.
I use the quotes on "Lebanese" because these are not Lebanese civilians, and the Arab world is in the process of shitting on another Western gift, the Treaty of Westphalia.
What you actually have right now in the area called Lebanon is two countries. "Hezbollahstan" (for want of a better name) and "Legacy Lebanon".
Hezbollahstan is currently engaged in a genocidal total war against Israel, and Israel is responding appropriately.
You disagree? Well, Hezbollah is the monopoly force in Hezbollahstan. Hezbollahstan is refusing to let its citizens leave (shades of, oh, East Germany up 'til about 1989). Hezbollahstan invaded Israel and kidnapped Israeli soldiers. Hezbollahstan's most-cherished goal is the destruction of Israel.
Of course, when Hezbollahstan gets in trouble, it uses the principles established in the Treaty of Westphalia to make it look like *all* of geographical area called "Lebanon" must pay for the trouble it started unilaterally.
Do you see it? A de-facto nation can start a genocidal war, hold its citizens inside its borders, and yet call upon the international to save it - in the name of the country it split from - when things start going badly wrong.
And all the dim bulbs at the UN and in the US mainstream media immediately buy this. Well, in all fariness, the UN may simply have been bought. The US mainstream media is simply a collection of dim bulb snobs.
Let's accept that the Arab world has shat on and abrogated an international order that worked for about 350 years, get past this, and deal with the reality.
Let's establish a new principle in international law: If a group is able to establish a monopoly of force in a given geographical area, then a new nation has come into being, with the rights *and* responsibilities of a nation.
Including the responsibility to accept its beating if it decides to wage unprovoked war on its neighbor.
It'd be chaos for a while, as we play whack-a-mole on all the wannabes, but we'd eventually come to something like stability.
I nominate Hezbollahstan as the first mole to be whacked.
UPDATE: Legacy Lebanon volunteers to support Hezbollahstan! Man! You couldn't write this stuff, if it was fiction.
UPDATE: Mwuuuhahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Man! You couldn't write this stuff, if it was fiction.
UPDATE: OK! I'm late to the party. Sorry! Still, I'm the first to mention whack-a-mole. Bow to me!

As you listen to the howls about Israel, especially from the UN, please consider this.
Among other things, ask yourself why this is not a topic of any interest to the mainstream media, and then ask yourself whether Kofi's UN has *any* moral standing.

Today I am gobsmacked and humbled.
As I predicted, Coyne stood not a snowball's chance in hell. However, the voters failed to give a clear victory to the candidate best-known for racial politics, assaulting police, and conspiracies.
The run-off's on August 8th.

Since McKinney's re-election is a foregone conclusion, I'm paying attention to Joe Lieberman's primary challenge.
He's not terribly popular with the left, being sane and all. The would-be kingmakers at places like DailyKos want him gone. If they succeed in this, it'll be a huge boost for the moonbat left of the Democrat party.
I think Lieberman will win, and Kos will have to gnash on something else.

Yesterday was the 12th of July. In Northern Ireland this date is celebrated as the anniversary of The Battle of the Boyne. When I was a kid, growing up in Galway, the middle of July always saw a huge influx of NI Catholics come south to avoid the height of the marching season.
This years seems to have been pretty peaceful. So far. I mean, we are talking Northern Ireland, the place where there's a problem for every solution.

This weekend, CNN is all over rape and murder charges against American troops in Iraq.
Nothing about these events.
Naturally.
UPDATE: The US Supreme Court has decided that the people who did this are covered by the Geneva Convention. Unbelievable.

So, an Italian soccer player says "You know what? I like Jews." to a French soccer player who just happens to be the muslim son of an Algerian immigrant, and this career-limiting move ensues.
J'Accuse, etc.

Worst. Movie. Ever.
Halfway through the movie one of the monks living on Jack Black's cooking remarks that he's had diarrhea since Easter. I know where he was coming from: I'd started feeling like projectile spewing from both ends about five minutes after the movie started.
This is a horrible movie. Technicolor horseshit flung randomly in hopes that some will blind us to the fact that we've spent good money on this dysenteric excuse for an abortion of a movie from the deepest pits of Hollywood's foetid sewers.
Worst. Movie. Ever.
Avoid it.
UPDATE: I posted this as a 1 star review at Amazon. It never made it past the Amazon review process. Unlike all the 3+ star reviews.

Here in DeKalb County we have a Democrat Primary coming up in just over a week. Time to take a look at what's going to happen.
Oh, and BTW, no need to cover the Republican Primary. Given the composition of the county (black Democrats on the south side, guilty rich Emory liberal Democrats in the center, mix of well-off Democrats and Republicans in the north), a Republican has a snowball's chance in hell, so it'd be a waste of time to talk about it.
Besides, let's face it, the fun part of the election is Cynthia McKinney, who's now advertising an anti-US screed - written, surprise, surprise, by a BBC reporter - on her campaign website. Mouse around her website long enough and you'll find Republicans referred to as "cracker-crats". Let a Republican try reciprocity and the screams of outrage would raise roofs. Ho hum.
Whoah! Looks like other people caught the "cracker-crat" thing. None of the local news channels (surprise, surprise) have picked up on this.
More of McKinney's outrages here.
Anyway, enough about our favorite Sideshow Bob, whose main accomplishment in life has been to get a road named after herself. Oh, and demand the TRUTH about Tupac! On to the contenders.
First, let's take a look John Coyne. Sorry, but an obvious loser. Why? Well, though his stands on various issues are standard Democrat, he's white, and there's a very high level of black-on-white racism in majority-black DeKalb County. He hasn't a chance.
On to Hank Johnson. Black? Check. His site has a lot of pizazz. Certainly better than Coyne's. Or McKinney's, actually. I mean, he actually has a campaign song. Well, so has Cynthia, but hers is "Why can't We be Friends?" Which says it all.
My gut? McKinney's going to win. Johnson's site mocks her for avoiding the debates, but all that means is that she avoided a chance to be mocked in a very public forum. She's been flying under the radar since she assaulted that Capitol Hill police officer, and I just don't sense the outrage that got her voted out in 2002. Mind you, I'd also guess that most of her constituents enjoyed the idea of a black woman assaulting a white man.
When it comes to DeKalb, just accept the black-on-white racism. That predicts a McKinney victory.
The primary election results will tell.

I see the New York Times is now happy to help any al Qaeda assasination squad that might come after the Secretary of Defense. You know, the man chiefly in charge of hunting down and destroying Islamofascism.
Oh. Right. There's a pressing First Amendment issue involved. Right.
You heard it here first: The day will come when American's lose their right to free speech. When they do, the root cause will be the dolts at the New York Times.
Mark it.

With any luck, the people on Zarqawi's speed dial are now guests of the US and Iraqi Governments.
With any luck.
I note that the US military indicates it buried Zarqawi in accordance with Muslim customs and traditions. Personally, I'd have buried him in pigskin. Time to make the urban legend real. In any event, if Zarqawi's family thinks we're going to give them a site for jihadi pilgrimages, they're smoking something reeeeeeeeally good.
Mid you, according to Zarqawi himself, heaven isn't all it's cracked up to be.
