I wonder if anyone will bring up the Hajj today. Tracy at Antistrib.com posted the below: Yes that’s right folks; it’s stampede time!
Will it be at the counterclockwise walk around the rock to turn back time? Will it be at the symbolic stoning ritual where all good Muslims throw rocks at a pillar representing women? Maybe the Wahabbi wing of the Sunni Muslims that run Saudi Arabia will open fire on the Shiites if they get uppity like in '87. We’ll just have to wait and see.

One of the best web sites I checked last night was Atlas Shruggs. In one of their topics the sub head is "Students live as Muslims for 30 days." I am sick of trying to understand the muzzies, it's time they understood us.
Anyway Atlasshrugs had lots of great topics today,they include:
1. Great take on Saddam's hanging.
2. Some great links to those appeasers of Saddams hanging,look under blood thirsty dictator.
3.Hezbo-pay-per-slay--where the hezzies are getting paid thousands of bucks for successful rocket launches into Israel.
4.UK--Dirty hands--Muzzies refuse to wash their hands in hopsitals due to "alcohol" content in the hand wash(major bs alert here).
5. Students live as muzzies for 30 days.
6. Holy Shia--Babs Boxer recinds cair award:flying pigs moment!!
7. Assad pimps out Spectre(senility at work again?)
Its all here:
