Can’t we at least let the thieves touch the car? Then we could have Celine Dion sing for them. (Katrina reference)

It didn’t look like anybody was caught. It just looked like the driver lost control and crashed.

I just saw a TV show on the SCI channel about what the military has plans for in case of a hostile alien attack upon earth, basically we lose against superior technology as usual.

But a prolonged asymmetrical war scenario over time can be fought, and won.

in the end basically soldiers floated up to the underbelly of the massive city sized ships on nothing more than latex balloons, low tech and supposedly stealthy to radar, they gain access and plant munitions, kaboom go ships.

An all out guerrilla war against a superior force in quality and quantity. But by using asymmetrical warfare they lose through time and attrition, swarm attacks.

Swarm attacks just like an invasive fire ant, carp or bird species. That documentary which it was kinda opened my eyes about just what me the lone human has against odds, odds that normally means my death, but through asymmetrical warfare over time we can overcome a superior force be it human, national, global or interstellar.

Amen.

Since we are talking about liberals and scifi did anyone actually pay to see Tom Cruise play Wall-E?

Evil perpetrated is on the one doing the evil. If I do evil for evil, does God excuse it on my Judgement Day?

sounds like something they’d pull. lol

Speedbump and Joker were not Americans

Joker was, albeit not Natural Born.

I still can’t figure out why they would have needed to hijack Danny’s car when they had their own vehicle.

Because it either was, or soon would be, as red hot as Speed Bump and Joker either were or soon would be. If they were to make it to New York and kill some more Americans, their prospects would be much better in a vehicle not the subject of urgent BOLOs all across the fruited plain.

Their behavior in the three days between the bombings and the FBI's release of photos and videos indicates that they thought they had got away with the Marathon bombings. They must have been shocked when they started getting calls about, hey, is that you? LOL! They didn't have a plan. So, they improvised under pressure, and they made mistakes.

Danny is the reason their flight ended in Watertown. If he hadn't talked them out of wasting him and then escaped at an opportune moment (Speed Bump distracted while programming his GPS), they probably would have made it to New York and afforded that metropolis's RINO mayor an opportunity to manage a crisis.

Stranger still is that the younger brother picked up his girlfriend’s car from the auto repair shop the day after the bombing, according to the Owner. Her car...same as Danny’s...Mercedes Stationwagon.

Who is this girlfriend of whom you write? Reportedly, he turned up nervous at Gilberto Junior's garage the day after the bombings to pick up early a car supposedly belonging to his girlfriend, and it was a 1967(! Not like Danny's, LOL) Mercedes. Maybe the brothers were a little more worried than they seemed.

Yeah yeah... it’s “just me” From some user comments around the internet
“I liked that the movie had something to say to us in our time, like trek had always done, making statements about the times in the past. The deceptive trickery to start up a war with the klingons was obviously a metaphor for America’s pre-emptive strike against Iraq. Scotty’s concerns about things going overly militarized is something that most of us have been feeling since 2001. The Kirk speech at the end was clearly speaking to us, in our time, about the response to terrorism and our need to get back to the character that made us what we are, as opposed to this monster driven by vengeance. “

“I think a lot of people missed the film’s message about militarization in response to acts of terror. This is especially relevant after the attack in Boston, where we shut down an entire city and marched police down the streets to search for one man (and of course, America’s post 9-11 policies/wars).”

“I love that they put this theme in the movie. Over militarization needs to get more mainstream awareness. “

“In a time where we have the PATRIOT ACT and drone strikes, I appreciate the message Spock was trying to say.”

“The banter between Spock and Uhura was fantastic, and the underlying post-9/11 commentary came across as philosophical as any of the original 6 Trek movies (pardon my ignorance as they are the only ones I’ve seen up to now). “

“This is a film, set i an alternative Universe, wherein the pre “5 Year Mission” crew are involved in a tale about how much of the enemy’s tactics you shoulld be willing to use if you are “the good guys.” Due Process? Terrorism?preemptive strikes, drones etc. Does use of all of this make you as bad, or worse, than “the enemy”?”

The complete and total cure is Eastern Carolina style barbecue. Sorry, but this technique of preparing pork can only have come from heaven. Carolina barbeque is to islam what garlic is to vampires ;)

Learn it, use it, cook it, eat it, and see if you are willing to let anyone stop you!

Speedbump and Joker were not Americans, AH.

QE is accomplishing the debauchment of the US Dollar. The IRS takes in $2.5 Trillion and the Federal Budget spends $3.75Trillion per year.

Not only that, admitted public debt is now $18Trillion (off balance sheet debt is nearly $100Trillion), the interest alone on public debt is $2.5Trillion and Entitlements also are $2.5Trillion. The printing presses are printing up dollars to the tune of an extra trillion per year and it is not going into the economy, but into the Wall Street casino - none of it trickles down to the unemployed, huddled masses.

From Keynes' "The Economic Consequences of the Peace":

Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency.

By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security, but at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth. Those to whom the system brings windfalls, beyond their deserts and even beyond their expectations or desires, become 'profiteers,' who are the object of the hatred of the bourgeoisie, whom the inflationism has impoverished, not less than of the proletariat.

As the inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly from month to month, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless; and the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery.

Lenin was certainly right.
There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.

Can you say QE?
What do you think happens when you have $2.5Trillion in income, but budget $3.75Trillion and have $100Trillion in debt, pay $2.5Trillion in interest on that debt and must pay $2.5Trillion for entitlements.

More frightening is the fact that Obama's closest friend and advisor, William Ayers once said that some 25 million Americans would need to be murdered when the time came to finish their long planned revolution.

When Money Dies

Can either of you gather some documentation for me on those claims - the burning of the church that Lois Anderson was associated with, the husband’s wallet being left full, the police chief being removed by Odinga - as well as Lois’ claims regarding Ann Dunham? If so, you can freepmail me if you like.

Also, anything on the story of Lia Soetoro’s death and plans to visit Obama?

I’m trying to pull together a bunch of stuff and my mind is going nuts trying to keep track of details so any help is greatly appreciated. =)

The thing is, if it's a financial joint venture instead of a marriage a prenup is way too little, not way too much. Other than that, I don't see it.

Quite agree.

Lets hope you never see the dark one manifest itself in those you love. Most of us never saw it coming.

Already happened. It doesn't mean that I get to do evil as well.

The I.R.S. - Obama's Gestapo

  

Love the one of the guy climbing over the open gate.

Doesn’t it seem odd that there hasn’t been, to my knowledge, a single complaint reported by the media of Boston residents, even in hindsight, who are outraged over all of the things in your post. Not a single report, not a single person...just seems very odd to me. Is there not one person in Boston affected by this who understands their rights?

You cannot say that the masses of LEOs did a good job in Boston. It was the "Keystone Kops" all the way.

Law Enforcement Did a Remarkable Job!

Of screwing up everything they possibly could!

They had an unarmed, scared, wounded teenage boy totally surrounded by the top crack paramilitary police.
The FBI, DHS, ATF, Local Police, State Troopers and even University Police had their weapons trained on the punk.
They were equipped with state-of-the art military assault rifles, armored vehicles, urban tanks, Blackhawk helicopters equipped with FLIR technology.
(These numerous shock troops are some of the highest paid people in the nation with lifelong pensions after remarkably short careers. No expense is spared on these people - to the point where they bankrupt communities.)

Then the inept, wounded, stupid pothead boy just got into a car and drove away and they could not find him...

That's when the comedy turned into a tragedy.
The trigger-happy, incompetent lawmen and professional donut-munchers force marched innocent citizens from their homes at the point of a gun.

This nonsense finally stopped when: A CITIZEN found him. Outside of the perimeter established by the idiot police forces.

But it still wasn't over.

The trigger-happy lawmen shot up half the neighborhood - with high powered assault rifles. In a neighborhood of WOODEN homes, where an AR-15 round could go through several houses. The scared little soldiers thought that they had been shot at by the mean terrorists, so shot up private property unnecessarily when all they had to do was grab the punk they let get away in the first place.
The boy did not even have a gun.
(The US press is not revealing this little fact.)

Hundreds, if not thousands of heavily armed paramilitary police chasing one stupid unarmed boy and this is what they have to show us?
Disgraceful.

"Which way did he go, which way did he go?"

The FBI in action:

The government will protect and save us...

Now we are learning more and more of the ineptitude that ruled the day in Boston. Just imagine if they were ever really faced with hardened, trained and prepared terrorists instead of two stupid unarmed boys.

It’s terrible what happened to Officer Collier, but you do know that Tsarnaev has not been charged with his murder? As far as Danny’s account....well, you know he refuses to show his face? Though I wonder why, I guess that doesn’t really matter, but as far as his ‘account’ of what happened, you’d have to be more specific about which account...he’s told several different, conflicting stories.

I still can’t figure out why they would have needed to hijack Danny’s car when they had their own vehicle. Stranger still is that the younger brother picked up his girlfriend’s car from the auto repair shop the day after the bombing, according to the Owner. Her car...same as Danny’s...Mercedes Stationwagon.

Too much food for thought....one could overeat.

True...and facts about Boston are in short supply. I think the ridiculous number of changes in the ‘official’ story and the many, many unanswered questions makes many people very suspect. But given what we know this Administration is capable of, I believe we are responsible for finding the truth.

I still remember on Twitchy that night that: Suspect 1: Mike Mulugeta Suspect 2: Sunil Tripathi, overheard on the scanners. Police Commissioner Davis even reported that Suspect 1: “black hat” bomber Mike Mulugeta, was dead. Well, we now know that Sunil is, coincidentally, dead...and oddly...Mike Mulugeta, if he exists, has never come forward to complain about being labeled a suspect...matter of fact, neither has ‘naked man’. Seems to me he’d be pitching a hissy fit. And, who was the suspect that the Boston Globe said they had in custody and a presser was scheduled for at the court house...he’s not been heard of since a supposed ‘bomb threat’ was called in to the court house and the presser was cancelled. Later they said there was no suspect.

Another GREAT Satire, John.

It’s a challenge to judge what is real and unreal.

Keep up the good work, John!

If he was marrying someone he had known for only a year or two, or if he was worth a lot, he should probably get a pre-nup, in this day and age. People can hide a lot of their personality in the space of only a couple of years. However, you said they’ve been best friends since 6th grade? I mean, just how well does he expect to EVER know her if he doesn’t know her by now? If he has underlying suspicions about her that make him uneasy, he should back off completely. Otherwise take the plunge.

If he asks her for a pre-nup, she is very likely never to quite forgive him for it. (Sort of like suggesting, when your GF gets pregnant, that an abortion would be the best idea ... but then getting married and keeping the baby after all ... but most women will NEVER FORGET that you made the wrong initial call and wanted to kill the baby. Or have them sign a pre-nup. Women remember everything. My own husband made some real boneheaded moves early on that although I’ve never said anything, I’ve never been able to forget. And I *realize* that about myself! LOL!)

I say he should fish or cut bait. Just decide. Does he trust her or not? Now is the time to decide. Then never look back.

Her dad was probably an FSLN commander...

I understand- but we’ve yet to be graced with his presence and good judgement...

When I do these posts they’re 80% brunettes... that’s how I roll!

No need for a prenuptial unless one of the parties is bringing significantly more assets to the marriage than the other, or unless one stands to inherit a lot of money or assets. If they’re both young and broke, a prenuptial will only sound as if they are pre-planning the breakup of the marriage.

I have long believed that the prenuptial serves as truth tests for parties entering a marriage I also think they are from more suitable for the second marriage and not the first.

Hope this was useful. Best wishes.

Everytime I’m in London I try one of those bean burgers. Horrible tasting and don’t know why I do it. I end buying a real hamburger to get the taste out of my mouth.

Then again, I’m so stupid when I go to Paris I order roasted chestnuts. Blech !!! smells so good and tastes like k, like....I dunno. I do the same thing in New York.

We don’t tend to believe the official story on most things nowadays. Everything becomes a conspiracy. So much so that when we have a real conspiracy it is hard to believe.

Things like the 9/11 conspiracy do give comfort to Muslims and convinces them even more that America is behind everything and that they should in fact fight you at every opportunity.

On the other hand governments do cover things up. So who are we to believe?

We all need a good BS detector and commonsense meter nowadays - not so easy to acquire with all the information bombardment.

Facts, real facts can be the only arbiters between conspiracy and truth!

In related news, Sarah Hall Ingram, the IRS official who ran the operation targeting conservative groups has been promoted to head up the IRS Affordable Care Act Division where she will oversee enforcement of the provisions of Obamacare. Ingram says she relishes “the opportunity to inject a much needed attention to the 'social justice' element as a major determinant for allocating scarce health care resources.”

I'm hoping that this is at least "semi" satire, however I worry that it's closer to hard news, with just a little Semmensian clarificational rewording to get closer to actual case.

John, another fine column. (Oh, and do let us know how the audits go.)

.

Garbage. The author is a moron.

I heard the Watertown blasts (from five miles away), and, due to the fact I'd been following the developing story of Officer Collier's murder, I had I pretty good idea what I was hearing. And they had at least one gun, as the Danny the Chinese guy's account proves.

"Many people (not I) are afraid to question anything about this story for fear they will be accused of siding with the terrorists."

My problem with the whole situation is I can't decide which party in this bombing incident is the least trustworthy, the American hating leftist totalitarian scumbags or, the two guys accused of bombing the Marathon. Both in my view are equally despicable.

Screw rebuilding their rat’s nests. The only treasure we should expend is what it costs to reduce them to rubble. Period. islam is incompatible with Western civilization. Rebuilding them in any way is folly.

The low information, liberal types are going to be in heap big trouble.

it would even be more awesome without the “Ultimately,” part.

No, it’s not baloney. We cannot allow them to gather their strength, plan unfettered, arm themselves, train, infiltrate and take over entire countries and then hit us hard.

But we do have to fight differently.

We did not “nation build,” Japan or Germany while we were fighting them. We fought them with all we had until they and those supporting them were annihilated and all they wanted was to sue for peace unconditionally. It did not take ten years to do that. In a much larger war, where there were infiltrators and sabuteurs, and enemy fighting behind lines, we were ruthless with them. We catch a spy...he is interogated and then lined up and shot. In that much lagrer World War, we did it in four years.

Then we took the waisted enemies and helped them keep from starving and then supported them building back constitutional republics.

We could have...and should fight these wars that way.

For example...a Fullejah would have been given an ultimatum. Come out in 72 hours or all the blood is on your hands. Then, instead of sending thousands of marines in their to take the place in a bloody house to house fight whiuch plays into their hands and desire for Jihad, we deny them that...we surround the place with Abrmas tanks and Bradley IFVs and then bombed it to rubble with B-52s for about three weeks. Then send in the mop up teams...plow the whole place under and salt the ground and have the survivors and those who did come out build a new city four or five miles away with wide streets and no cubby holes and tell them if they ever so much as harm the hair on an American’s head we will be back and do it again.

Anyhow..we have to defeat the enemy...not try to win their hearts and minds. Do that after they are utterly defeated and know there is no hope for their damnable Jihad cause.

And secure our borders as well. Slam it shut like an iron door except for the indentified and legal entry points where legal imigrants and visitors can come across.

We can do both...and should have long ago.

better if you tell them why, if too many object, they may drop the halal thing. muslims aren’t known for being generous tippers.

if you can’t see this is a larger issue than just meat, we can’t help you.

if shtf, after i go thru my meat i’ll be vegetarian unless i can trade for meat from others. i think they’ll want toilet paper.

seriously, screw foreign cultures. what about our cultures?!?

you come to another country, you better effing do things the way the culture does, not demand that the culture chang e to accomodate your foreign ways.

PC is dead. it is time for RC - Reversional Correctness.

I can see business partners wanting something to assure them they're not going to be in business with your wife if she divorces you but I don't consider that a prenup. That sort of thing is really a business obligation independent of the marriage to ensure that the business remains free from entanglements in marriage disputes.

Of course, the partner being asked to sign such an agreement can reply with a prenup of their own dictating how the partner in business will define compensation and dictating what will be considered as individual compensation from the business along with committing to making all such individual compensation joint income to the marriage, and so on.

The thing is, if it's a financial joint venture instead of a marriage a prenup is way too little, not way too much.

Other than that, I don't see it.

Yes, FRiend. We can consume anything, even poison.

But we do not support their incursion.

America as a nation was dedicated to God by its first leader.

G. Washington's inaugural speech excerpt:

"Such being the impressions under which I have, in obedience to the public summons, repaired to the present station, it would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official act my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides in the councils of nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that His benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the people of the United States a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes, and may enable every instrument employed in its administration to execute with success the functions allotted to his charge."

However even in its Constitution, and from there on, it increasingly fell short of what God requires of a Christian nation.

America needs to rededicate itself to God.

In answer to the question in the title; “’Cause you never know when you might come across somethin’ that might need killin”.

1Cr 10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, [that] eat, asking no question for conscience sake:

Go ahead and buy it. It won’t hurt, but if they make a mention of it being “Halal” reject it, for if you partake of it is shows the person selling it to you that you agree with their religious laws.

In NY last year I noticed several hot dog stands selling HALAL food. We did not shop there.

We bought really good pork hot dogs at another street vendor. Best hotdog I ever had!

Apparently we have the market fundamentals completely wrong you can borrow your way to riches. I say print print print we will all soon be rich!!

Well, that was Keynes' argument. Borrow...spend...stimulate...prosperity! Debt doesn't matter -- "In the long-run, we're all dead."

Of course, as a homo, with no children, his concept of the "long-run" was different from those of us with progeny. We are now experiencing today -- in a very poignant way -- the "long-run" of all the dead Keynesian economists.
