Storm Clouds In California [Newsweak Isikoff Alert]

When 20-year-old Hamid Hayat left his home in California a little more than two years ago, he was like a lot of young Americans—aimless and a bit unsure about his future. Rail-thin and addicted to videogames, he lived with his parents in Lodi, Calif., a small farming town south of Sacramento. An amiable ice-cream vendor, his father, Umer Hayat, was known around the neighborhood as Homer, after the "Simpsons" sticker on the back of his truck. But the younger Hayat had trouble finding steady work. So when his mother fell ill with liver disease in 2003, the family traveled back to their native Pakistan, where they sought both treatment for her and a wife for young Hamid. He was no stranger to Pakistan. Though born in California, he'd spent his teen years in Behboodi and Rawalpindi, living with relatives and attending religious schools. Returning to Pakistan as an adult, he struck some relatives there as adrift. He whiled away hours a day watching movies on TV or vegging in front of his PlayStation 2. "He didn't know what he wanted to do with his life," his cousin Usama Ismail told NEWSWEEK.

Isikoff continues to desecrate his career by repeatedly flushing it down the toilet.

Why is this sociopathic liar still employed?

"Why is this sociopathic liar still employed?"

Probably because his bosses are afraid of him
because he's a sociopathic liar.

Let me see, papa drives a ice cream truck, they live in a single family home, he pays for vacations and trips for son's terrorist training?

Just how much damn money does a ice cream truck driver make in Lodi California? Methinks I smell a financed terr perp cell here of much larger proportions than is being admitted to.

"Just how much damn money does a ice cream truck driver make in Lodi California?"

They could have been funded by a terrorist group.

But have you been out to the ice cream truck lately?
The same guy who prices the $600 hammers the government
buys is the same guy who prices the Eskimo Pies.
(Sorry. I didn't mean for it to rhyme.)

Wake Up Time.

Let me see, papa drives a ice cream truck...

The first clue that the he was a terrorist: Instead of playing circus music, his ice cream truck only played Calls to Prayer (well, that and the fact that he kept calling the red-white-and-blue popsicle a "Suicide Bomp Pop").

I have evidence that Newspeak is planning a major terror strike somewhere in the US. The CEO is involved and some of the share holders. My evidence is weak, unreliable and may be false...But hey, it's accurate!

Am I to believe that health care is better in Pakistan than the US?

[bray]

Is this a great Country or what?? A liar like Isakook still making $500K writing this drivel.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[sofaman]

Addicted to video games...listless...unsure of his future...aimless...vegged out watching movies on TV...played Play Station II...I need direction in my life.

Hey!! I've got it..I think I'll become a terrorist

...and Isikoff, the putz, is in full sympathy mode. This has to be the most idiotic article I've ever read.

Of course you are. It's obvious Newsweek thinks we are stupid. After the lies they have printed I wouldn't believe anything they print especially if Isikoff is writing it. Having Eleanor Cliff on their payroll doesn't help either. She actually said on Fox News yesterday that Howard Dean was right about what he said about Republicans. Well, she has me confused. I thought Republicans were all rich and now they are saying Republicans have never worked a day in their lives.

There's a knee-jerk reaction amongst the lib'ral "elite" to immediately assume that common sense is wrong. For example, if you're given the death sentence then you must be innocent, facts be damned, a victim of "the system".

All I can say is wow.

And newsweak supports them. Time to start pressing charges against them. One or two would do the trick. The rest would stop supporting the jihadist against our country.

It's not what you know.
It's not who you know.

It's what you know about who you know...

It's not what you know,
it's who you blow.

When Creedence Clearwater Revival complained about being "stuck in Lodi again," was it the high price of Eskimo Pies that got them down?
