(J)Blog Rounup - 2006-10-20
Shabbat Shalom. It's Friday, so don't expect go expecting The Republic out of the morning (j)blog roundup . Not like you ever do, but you know...
* This chick needs to read this guy so we never have to lose another two minutes of our life figuring this out. PS - yes.
* :-(
* When we saw Pamela call Clinton a POS because of his "seperation of Church and State unless that church is a mosque" school guidelines, we started trying to figure out the acronym. President of... schools... of sacrilege... Then it was like one of those Chasing Amy moments: oooohhhh....
* Kesher Talks asks When is it treason? From what we've gleaned from the New York Times, the answer is: whenever a Nation-reading far left CIA desk monkey is outted by leaked information, but only until it becomes clear that the leaker was an opponent of the liberation of Iraq.
* AbbaGav reports that OJ Simpson got paid 3.5 million to write a book. We can't get any of you vultures to hip the tip jar in response to posts that would make Steinbeck weep, and a functionally illiterate murderer (allegedly) gets 3.5 million. Yet another miscarriage of justice associated with the name "Orenthal James Simpson".
* To be honest, we've read and reread this post from Israel Blog and still don't understand why it would have been a bad thing for CNN to film the ovens of Auschwitz in 1944. The Germans were hiding what they were doing - they were not proud of it. To this day their descendents remain outright ashamed of it. That's a fundamental distinction - and one with consequences for the nature of European and non-European society - that separates them from the jihadists who use the most sickening kinds of atrocities as positive propaganda. Which isn't to say that CNN isn't providing jihadists with free air-time - it's just to say that the comparison is not apt.
* LAist makes Gawker Media look like a GOPAC think tank. As South Park says, one-fourth of Americans are totally retarded.
* CAMERA points out that maybe Hamas should be spending a little less on satellite programs and a little more on food. How naive - if Hamas can explain to everyone over cable that they really, really, really want to kill Jews, maybe they'll get global legitimacy like Hezbollah. Think of this as an investment.
* Smooth Stone reports on Israeli doctors fighting AIDS in Ethiopia. Little does he know what Hezbollah TV will eventually no doubt report: that this is just a plot by Israeli doctors to give AIDS to people in Ethiopia. Because Jews are clever that way.
* Turns out, the French were just bragging about military power that they don't really have. Who knew?
* Rantings of a Sandmonkey is all over the case of an Egyptian thrown in jail for converting to Christianity.
* Ocean Guy with a post taking advantage of the easiest way to make it into the roundup short of drug and sex references: Democrats and Jews.
* When we read headlines yesterday about Bush comparing Iraq to Vietnam, we thought "wow - obviously he didn't say that - this is going to turn out exactly like the Guardian 'Wolfowitz: Iraq war was about oil' creative misinterpretation". Obviously, that's exactly what's going on. Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to think that the President of the United States just compared the war he is commanding to the only war in history that the US has lost? How totally, myopically, pathologically stupid do you have to be for that to be something that you could ever think could ever happen?
* The New York Times editorial page is like a caricature of the New York Times editorial page. How do you make Muslims less inclined to try to destroy Israel? Force Israel to weaken itself by appeasing Muslims. Brilliant!
* Jim Hoft on the complicity of the Sudanese government in the Darfur genocide (aka the human rights atrocity that Leftists can't march about because they're too busy accusing Israel of imagined war crimes).
* It's so rare that journalists take time to write about us.
* VP: Counterterrorism Officials Report Britain Has Become al-Qaeda's Top Target. Well that's hardly unexpected - there's nothing left for them to accomplish in France.
* EMI should respond to Yoko Ono's lawsuit with a tersely worded letter than includes the line "maybe we'd be more inclined to care about your worthless existence if you hadn't broken up the Beatles. PS - you're going to burn in hell for that, you know that, right?"
* Ewww.
* This blog post on Penguin Mints (delightful little mints that we called "dinner" in college) is the best blog post in the history of blogging. We've emailed the site to maybe three dozen old college friends in like the last ten minutes (ok, we don't have three dozen old college friends... but we maxed out).
