At the request of members, I am restarting those "Tales from the Dark UnderBelly Of the Beast"-- the stories and issues that the press and media either ignore, won't even talk about, or will mention once and forevermore claim "it's old news..."
Naturally, some will be stories which interest me, or things I think we all need to be aware of.
I am experimenting with a minor change in presentation- when I can, I will cut to
with a keyword or two and see what kind of links to "mainstream" stories I can find in contrast to what we see here and on other sites.
May I remind you of a couple of points to bear in mind?
Each link usually has many other links within- follow them all to get "the rest of the story."
Don't forget the "open multiple browsers" trick with control-n -- this allows you to hold your place with one, and use the others to follow links, run searches, etc.
Rather than go back and rehash old links, I'll give you links to the original posts here:
-DUBOB 10- the *best of* the Dark Underbelly Series--
-DUBOB 9-- even *more* tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast..... --
DUBOB 8-- still *more* tales from the Underbelly***
DUBOB 7-- even *more* tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast.....
DUBOB 6-- yet *more* tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast.....
DUBOB 5-- even *more* tales from the Dark Underbelly of the Beast.....

Oh, dear. More ROP news from the Dutch. Dutch Muslim women enrages Islamists
Bill's guest stated specifically that Bubba was getting a commission (40% of profits) from a consulting company set up by the emerate. In other words, BC is a PAID agent of a foriegn power.It is true. It has been in the news since Thursday, and even the MSM seems disgusted. The Clintons of Dubai is not MSM, and it is by the odious Robert Novak, but the information seems to be verified on every place it has been mentioned. This is from Newsday, which is as L3 as it can be, and they also are less than polite.
The AP started a firestorm with its report that transcripts from emergency meetings somehow proved George Bush lied when he said that no one imagined the levees around Lake Pontchartrain would be breached in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This vaunted system of editors and fact-checking at Exempt Media outlets failed yet again, and yet again the hack job that emerged was intended to damage George Bush.
UPDATE: I got this from a media source who noted it hadn't been released through AP's web service as yet. Keemo points us to Drudge, who also posted it.
UPDATE II: CQ reader and frequent source River Rat notes that the AP still engages in some dishonest vocabulary in its clarification: "They are replacing the verb "breach" with the verb "overrun" ..." Comments (24)

Should We Impeach the Associated Press Now?
Since the Associated Press has had six months to get the story straight and still failed, and the whole point of its latest story was that President Bush failed by not delivering massive amounts of relief to New Orleans within a few hours rather than a few days -- it seems to me that the only serious failure we have documented is by the Associated Press.
Powerline also has good info on this:
http://powerlineblog.com/archives/013316.php
"Of the poll of 1,273 adults, 35 percent were Democrats, 26 percent independents and 25 percent Republicans. It has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. "
On Election Day in 2004, the voter breakdown was:
37 percent GOP, 37 percent Democrat, 26 percent independent
And note that 88% of the Dems disapprove, so you can see how oversampling them can skew the poll tremendously.
The MSM found a new way to bring down Bush's ratings, if they still couldn't do it by bashing him 24/7, then they do it by oversampling Dems and NOT adjusting for it in their poll. The adjusted for sex, race, etc, but not for voter registration demographics.
Detailed poll results (in pdf)
I think we need to keep pointing out the bias, because the MSM has the headline of "Bush approval slipping", etc. and the barely mention it in the article of not mentioning at all, how they got the approval rating. We need to educate people about this.

The central issue of the cartoon jihadthe Muslim riots and death threats against a Danish newspaper that printed 12 cartoons depicting Mohammedis obvious. The issue is freedom of speech: whether our freedom to think, write, and draw is to be subjugated to the religious sensitivities of anyone who threatens us with force.
That is why it is necessary for every newspaper and magazine to re-publish those cartoons, as I will do in the next print issue of The Intellectual Activist. Click here.
This is not merely a symbolic expression of support; it is a practical countermeasure against censorship. link: 25 comments
...if you want to kill anyone who publishes those cartoons, or anyone who makes cartoons of Mohammed, then youre going to have to kill us all.
Hmm, seems to be their plan anyway. But I agree that exposing the raging and seething at every opportunity will continue to open eyes in the West, perhaps before it's too late.

As Torontonians we are citizens of our nations largest and most multiethnic city. That people of so varied cultures can coexist not merely in tolerance, but in a spirit of mutual respect where all are free to practice their customs without imposition on others, is a testament to the strengths of free expression and secularism.We cannot expect Canadian soldiers to risk their lives securing secularism and liberty abroad if we are unwilling to make a modest effort at home. We support Denmark in an attempt to honour these values.

There's an interesting point about Brokeback Mountain that occurred to me recently that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere in the media: The murder of Matthew Shepherd looms very very large in the American gay psyche. (He was the gay guy killed by gay-bashers in Wyoming in the '90s). The play "The Laramie Project" was about the case, and was a huge hit. I've seen it referred to constantly. So the cultural elite thought to themselves: How can we get revenge for Matthew Shepherd? Not just on the perpetrators, but on the entire class of people who resemble the perpetrators? Ah ha! |
The first time I liveblogged the Oscars (in 2004), it was one of my better early posts. Last year, I was considering chewing off my paw before the night was over, so this time, I'm skipping the program and working on artwork. with the Red Hot Chili Peppers turned to a decibel level that's generating dirty looks from the dogs.

The result was alarming, and if not for the hidden camera, I would have never had any of this footage.

A Muslim rape epidemic in sweeping over Europe -- and over many other nations host to immigrants from the Islamic world. The direct connection between the rapes and Islam is irrefutable, as Muslims are significantly overrepresented among convicted rapists and rape suspects. The Muslim perpetrators themselves boast that there crime is justified since their victims were, among other things, not properly veiled.--That symposium is actually worth a thread. One of the things the MSM refuses to print is that many of these women are tortured and sexually humiliated prior to and during the rapes that often last for hours. The police often refuse to investigate because in Australia for instance, the police themselves are threatened with the rape of females in their own family. Because no will round up the suspects, they are further emboldened. Send this article to a prosecutor in Detroit or New Jersey and they will arrest you for dissemination of hate literature.
