Supporters of the hard-line faction of Kashmir's All Parties Hurriyat (Freedom) Conference (APHC), shout slogans during a protest against the Israeli military strikes on the Gaza Strip, in Srinagar December 31, 2008.

A member of hardliner Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) holds up an anti-Israel banner during a protest against Israel's air offensive in the Gaza Strip, in front of U.S. embassy, in Jakarta December 31, 2008. A militant Muslim group in Indonesia said on Monday it plans to recruit as many as 1,000 volunteers to fight in the Gaza Strip in response to Israeli air strikes that have killed more than 300 Palestinians.

LOL!

There was a Hamas spokesman being interviewed on NPR the other day. He said that Hamas was not responsible for the rocket attacks on Israel. The attacks were probably from Israeli sympathizers trying to frame Hamas.

That’s not a woman. It’s an emo.

He will hide for the next four years.

Now Obama is throwing entire constituents under the bus. Awesome.

[Carley]

Is that Bill Ayers holding the large white sign in post #8

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

That is a teenage boy doing a well known U-Tube video saying ‘let Brittany alone’, referring to criticism of Brittany Spears. It is posted as a picture of a crybaby.

True, there is only one president at a time. But he needn’t speak out as President or even as President-Select.

He could speak out as Messiah, The One, The Benificent. That’s what’s really got the Palestinians upset. Here the Messiah has come and he won’t come to their aid.

He doesn’t have to be inaugurated as President in order to begin his Messiahship. Messiahs are always already Messiahs.

And Messiahs can walk and chew gum at the same time, so solving the Gaza crisis while playing golf ought to be a snap for The One.

An angry Arab? Stop the presses!

The bad news ... they criticized Bush for the same thing eight years ago. Bush also wanted to ignore the Middle East, and he was not permitted to do so.

[Sender]

Especially ironic is “This Jew Demands No US Aid to Israel”. Clearly these nice Jewish ladies have just been to Starbucks...maybe they are putting something in the coffee.

You got that right. He isnt answering because he doesnt know what to say.

He doesnt know Poop from Shinola.

I wish I had something hopeful to say about where America is and where I see it going, but I don’t, so I won’t. I’m saying goodnight to a pretty cruddy year with the almost sure knowledge that 2009 will be quite a bit worse. C’est la frickin’ vie.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

I’m hoping that 2009 will be better for my family. We both lost our jobs and can’t find a thing—why? because we can’t speak Spanish. Something will happen—that’s for sure.

He wasn’t silent, didn’t they hear him?
“PRESENT”
