My pal, J is hooked on watching The War. Especially as she’s watching with her Mom who’s 92, clear as a bell [she drives and tutors kids], and adds her personal memories as the story goes along. ["Just you wait until Mr. Truman gets in! FDR was chicken to drop those bombs but it didn’t bother Mr. Truman any!"] [She also said that the gubbmint didn’t tell the citizenry “anything" at the time—which was quite frustrating.]
I gotta admit, I envy that experience.
So yesterday, J was telling me about this one part of the show when one of the soldiers the story is following was talking with a German POW. The POW was insisting on finding out just exactly where this fella lived in the US. The soldier answered in general terms, assuming the POW had only the small amount of knowledge most folks had about foreign countries. They got down to the town he lived in and the POW showed detailed knowledge of the area and all sorts of things about his town.
When the soldier expressed surprise that the POW knew so much, the German proudly admitted that that was his area of “expertise” and that he had been to Hitler’s special school for troops trained for when they took over the US.
The soldier was shocked, and creeped out.
My pal, J, was shocked and creeped out.
[You know where I’m going with this, doncha?]

Game Night!
come play with me!
Here is the Washington Post’s Mensa Invitational which once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are [some] winners:
Ignoranus : A person who’s both stupid and an asshole.
Intaxication : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
Bozone ( n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating.
Giraffiti : Vandalism spray-painted very, very high
Sarchasm : The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn’t get it.
Osteopornosis : A degenerate disease.
Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
Arachnoleptic Fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you’ve accidentally walked through a spider web.
Lymph (v.): to walk with a lisp
Your turn!

Multiculturalism is actually a very infantalizing development because it’s telling you you cannot make judgments or distinctions—even when it’s harmful not to.

neo-diplomacy?
[Debra] Cagan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs to Defence Secretary Robert Gates [speaking to six MPs] ...also accused Britain of “dismantling” the Anglo-US-led coalition in Iraq by pulling troops out of Basra too soon.
The MPs say that at one point she said: “In any case, I hate all Iranians.”
..."She seemed more keen on saying she didn’t like Iranians than that the US had no plans to attack Iran,” said one MP. “She did say there were no plans for an attack but the tone did not fit the words.”
Another MP said: “I formed the impression that some in America are looking for an excuse to attack Iran. It was very alarming."
I’m guessing it’s also not OK to call her “Debbie.”

12 U.S. citizens [are murdered by] illegal aliens each day.
...13 Americans ... [are] killed each day by uninsured drunk driving illegals
Charged with molesting a 12-year-old girl, Juan Leonardo Qunitero had been deported back to Mexico in 1999 as an illegal alien. Nevertheless, last week, he was back in the U.S., living comfortably in a city that prohibited police from asking anyone about their immigration status.
Rodney Johnson was a 12-year veteran on the Houston police force. Married with five children, he was big, kind-hearted and unafraid of working the toughest gang beats or late-night shifts.
The phone calls started pouring in at Irving [TX] City Hall on Thursday morning.
They were prompted by activists who implored a crowd of more than 1,000 people at a rally Wednesday night to call for an end to a program that turns over arrested illegal immigrants to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
But most callers weren’t asking for an end to the program – they were voicing their support.
... [The] 24/7 Criminal Alien Program. It provides for around-the-clock communication with federal authorities and is designed to detain illegal immigrants who have been accused of a crime.

Hollering “Fire!” in a crowded InterToob.
“My intention of course is not to limit freedom of expression,” he said.
“My intention is ... to introduce sanctions against those who disseminate terrorist propaganda or instruct on websites how to make a bomb. This has nothing to do with freedom of expression.
..."The Internet cannot be an area where no responsibility is taken,” he said. “There has to be limits.”
..."We have to modernize the legal framework,” he said. “The world, unfortunately, is changing and five years ago ... there wasn’t a need to consider incitement, and now there is."

There *is* maths on this test
but no one brought the solar powered calculator with the big ol’ buttons and the reverse polish logic
Considering there are about 4 million babies born in the US yearly, and the HildBeast wants to give each one $5,000 that’s about $20,000,000,000 we‘ll be in hock every year.
How much a year would it take to address this?
Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali returned to the Netherlands… Monday.
[She] was allegedly forced to leave the US as American authorities had refused to finance the expenses of her personal security measures.
So far, the Dutch government has paid all those expenses, but after more than a year of residency in the US, the Dutch allegedly said they were no longer willing to continue this arrangement.
Exit question: The U.S. presumably knew the Dutch were about to pull the security rug out from under her. That being so, if they weren’t prepared to guarantee her security themselves, why did they issue her a green card six days ago?

listing other political enemies of the Clintons such as Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Michael Savage, Michael Smerconish, and John Gibson.
As Perazzo stated, “By eliminating such conservative voices from the airwaves, Media Matters could effectively insulate much of the American public from ever hearing about the negative traits and hidden agendas of Hillary Clinton, and thereby, in essence, ensure her ascendancy to the Oval Office.”
Cliffs Notes version:
George Soros, Morton Halperin, and John Podesta --> Center for American Progress --> Media Matters --> HildaBeast --> “shut up or I’ll nationalize you, too!”
Interesting you should mention that...
Following are excerpts from an address delivered by Hasan Rahimpur Azghadi of the Iranian Supreme Council for Cultural Revolution, which aired on Jaam-e Jam 1 TV on September 3, 2007.
Hasan Rahimpur Azghadi: [The Westerners] have transgressed all moral boundaries, and that is why their family unit has collapsed. When modesty and chastity are abandoned, soon enough the family falls apart. The husband and wife are no longer satisfied with one another, and they begin having relations with other men and women. After a while, they start thinking that since they have already experienced this, it is time to try homosexuality. Then, they think this is old-fashioned, and they turn to animals. These things happen in the West. After a while, when they get bored with this, they turn to small children. Today, one of the most prosperous and lucrative trades in the world is the trafficking in sex slaves – mostly women and small children. They trade small children like slaves and use them for sex. They are worse than the most monstrous beasts in history. They have even developed theories about this. Throughout history, people did these vile things, but they never discussed it in public. They always did it in secret. These people raise their head up high, and admit that they do these things. They have now begun turning to objects. There are big factories that produce artificial genitals, and they sell them in stores. A sex shop is a store that sells sex toys.
For procreation, a woman; for pleasure, a boy; but for divine ecstasy, a melon.
--old Arab Proverb
What happens when lemmings overpopulate?

The qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act allow private individuals to sue on behalf of the government whenever the government is defrauded, and collect a portion of the money owed to the government. So all one needs to do is find a creative legal hook to claim that the government has been cheated, and all of the sudden one has standing to sue.
with me so far? [me neither, really—but wait:]
[Morgan] Reynolds, a former economist at the Department of Labor, became unhinged sometime after 9/11 and began ranting on the internet about the various conspiracies that brought down the World Trade Center. (Hint: government laser beams from space, not airplanes.)
...He argues that when the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)—a government agency—prepared its report on the collapse of the World Trade Center, it paid various companies to consult with it. Since none of those consulting companies mentioned the government laser beams from space, they obviously defrauded the government.
So he sued… well, he sued everyone. To be precise, he sued:
Science Applications International Corp.; Applied Research Associates, Inc.; Boeing; Nustats; Computer Aided Engineering Associates, Inc.; Datasource, Inc.; Geostaats, Inc.; Gilsanz Murray Steficek Llp; Hughes Associates, Inc.; Ajmal Abbasi; Eduardo Kausel; David Parks; David Sharp; Daniele Venezano; Josef Van Dyck; Kaspar William; Rolf Jensen & Associates, Inc; Rosenwasser/Grossman Consulting Engineers, P.c.; Simpson Gumpertz & Heger, Inc.; S. K. Ghosh Associates, Inc.; Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Llp; Teng & Associates, Inc.; Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.; Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc.; American Airlines; Silverstein Properties; and United AirlinesThose are engineering firms, airlines, consulting firms, defense contractors, building contractors, and real estate firms. All of which get to deal with his lawsuit. (Will it eventually be dismissed? Yes. Will Reynolds be ordered to pay defendants’ costs? Probably. (Assuming he could afford those costs, which seems unlikely given how many defendants he sued.)... hey, it isn’t that much kookier than the actual 9/11 families who seek to blame the airlines, the World Trade Center, etc. for 9/11.
