The rumor since Monday is that Philadelphia Magazine named Attytood "best blog" or some such thing -- in my world, it doesn't exist if it's not online, so I guess I'll need to buy the magazine for myself, and so should you. If it's true, I am grateful, humble, honored, and just like you, puzzled :-).
To anyone who saw the magazine and is visiting for the first time, hi! -- I'm on "book vacation" (how's that for an oxymoron?) and the regular blogging of multple daily posts won't resume until mid-August or so. I hope you'll stick around.

A left-wing mag has named a left-wing blog "the best?" Stop the presses! This sounds like a real scoop (not).
Yes - as everyone knows, if some civilians are unfortunately killed as a result of a strike against the Taliban, our mainstream media is always quick to bury that fact. Right. But our media wants us to win. Uhuh. That's why the Times had 56 front page stories on Abu Ghraib. They weren't piling on, were they? What a laff you are montani simpleton.
"Did you ever wonder why the jihadists love American conservatives?" Huh. The jihadists regularly support Democrats.
Al Qaeda Sends a Message to Democrats December 22, 2006 Brian Ross and Hoda Osman Report: Al Qaeda has sent a message to leaders of the Democratic party that credit for the defeat of congressional Republicans belongs to the terrorists. In a portion of the tape from al Qaeda No. 2 man, Ayman al Zawahri, made available only today, Zawahri says he has two messages for American Democrats. "The first is that you aren't the ones who won the midterm elections, nor are the Republicans the ones who lost. Rather, the Mujahideen -- the Muslim Ummah's vanguard in Afghanistan and Iraq -- are the ones who won, and the American forces and their Crusader allies are the ones who lost," Zawahri said, according to a full transcript obtained by ABC News. Zawahri calls on the Democrats to negotiate with him and Osama bin Laden, not others in the Islamic world who Zawahri says cannot help. "And if you don't refrain from the foolish American policy of backing Israel, occupying the lands of Islam and stealing the treasures of the Muslims, then await the same fate," he said.
Today's example is even worse MSL. NYT: "Terrorist Attacks Unsettling India" "NEW DELHI — Over the past several years, terrorist attacks in India have become an everyday presence in everyday places. The targets seem to have nothing in common except that they are ordinary and brazenly easy to strike."........"NOTHING IN COMMON". Right.
"Becuase they do exactly what the jihaidsts want them to do: they spread fear and paranoia. Keep up the good work swifty, Osama thanks you.".....Sure, everyone knows if we just ignore them, they will go away.
Swifty, again you show your ignorance of the nature of terrorism. If the NYT was on the side of the Moselm terrorists, they'd make sure to publicize the moslem terrorist group that may be responsible, and go on to explain their cause in great detail. By obscuring them in their article, the NYT is doing precisely the opposite. Did you ever wonder why the jihadists love American conservatives? Becuase they do exactly what the jihaidsts want them to do: they spread fear and paranoia. Keep up the good work swifty, Osama thanks you.
wow, what outstanding and surly comments you guys made. what does obama or "the blacks" or "the latinos" have to do with this article? nothing. exactly. geez. here's a novel idea: you guys should get together & start your own paper instead or spouting needless rhetoric based on other's articles for a change.
Ah yes, after reading the comments, this blog is truly...the best of Philly. My work here,.....is done.
Actually, I sit here & re-type it all in caps. Is there a better way?...MSWord - highlight text, right click, format, click "ALL CAPS"
That's funny, sloboat. In the original version that you cut and pasted from, there wasn't anything in all caps. Did you actually copy it word for for in all caps, or do you have some kind of a command in your word processor to accomplish that task. Because, you know, putting the words in all caps makes what you type so much more meaningful. Lol!
45 INDIANS KILLED BY BOMBS - NYT PUZZLED: An all too typical piece of reportage from those tireless defenders of the faith at the NY Times: “At Least 45 Killed in Explosions in India” - For the 2nd time in 2 days, 16 explosions rocked an Indian city, this time in Ahmedabad, killing at least 45. Indian television stations reported that they had received a statement from a group that called itself “Indian Mujahedeen” that warned of attacks. There was no way to know whether the statement was authentic or who was behind the group, which had claimed responsibility for serial blasts in western India, 2 months ago. In recent years, well-planned bombings have struck several cities, in what officials have said were attempts to provoke violence between Hindus & Muslims. Gujarat, of which Ahmedabad is the commercial center, is particularly sensitive to ethnic tensions. In 2002, a train fire that killed dozens of members of a Hindu nationalist group set off Hindu-on-Muslim violence across Gujarat. All told, 1,000 Muslims were killed, & Mr. Modi, a firebrand Hindu nationalist politician, was accused of doing little to stop the violence…TO REVIEW, FOR 2 DAYS DOZENS OF BOMBS HAVE GONE OFF IN A REGION WHERE MUSLIMS HAVE ATTACKED HINDUS COUNTLESS TIMES OVER THE YEARS. (A HISTORY THE NY TIMES CHARACTERIZES AS “ATTEMPTS TO PROVOKE VIOLENCE BETWEEN HINDUS & MUSLIIMS.” YOU SEE, THE BOMBINGS WERE NOT VIOLENCE IN THEMSELVES. & OF COURSE NO GROUP WAS ACTUALLY BEHIND THEM. THEY JUST HAPPENED.) FURTHERMORE, AN ISLAMIC TERRORIST GROUP HAS EVEN CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BOMBINGS. A GROUP THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SIMILAR BOMBINGS JUST 2 MONTHS AGO. STILL, THE NY TIMES ONLY SEES FIT TO MENTION WITH ANY SPECIFICITY “HINDU-ON-MUSLIM VIOLENCE,” WHICH WAS DONE IN REPRISAL FOR “A TRAIN FIRE” THAT OBVIOUSLY BROKE OUT SPONTANEOUSLY. & THE TIMES GOES ON TO CASTIGATE A “FIREBRAND HINDU NATIONALIST.” BUT THE NY TIMES IS NOT ON THE SIDE OF THE MUSLIM TERRORISTS. NO WAY.

But you assume to know who French is and what he/she is all about, what is 'sick and twisted'...." ----)))) Geez, a dude post numerous graphically detailed posts about sex involving excrement - and I make the unfounded observation that he's sick and twisted. Lol! I don't assume to know what Ricky is or all about; I simply make the categorical statement that anyone who writes the garbage he writes is a lunatic with a personality disorder. I realize that you, on the other hand, (like your "conservative" Attytood brethren), derive considerable pleasure and amusement from reading erotic/scatological fanstasies. That's your right. And I'll reserve the right to think that deriving pleasure from reading such garbage is pathetic.
Comment removed.
"None of the other comments elicited such shrill vociferous disfavor with YOU, as French's." Now you're just pulling stuff out your rear, legatus. Go ahead, do a google and see if you can find any "shrill and vociferous disfavor." You won't find any. What I basically did was re-post Ricky's sick and twisted comments, and pointed out that they were the lunatic fantasies of a Republican lackey. We’re just going around in circles at this point. I understand that you think that Ricky’s posts about excrement and male body parts were extremely enjoyable, and that you and your fellow Attytood conservatives are deeply disappointed that you won’t be able to read more of them in the future. Although I don't find reading such garbage pleasurable as you have stated you do, and although I felt that in fact, Ricky’s posts were evidence of a raging personality disorder, I respect your right to find enjoyment in whatever way floats your boat.
"Many comments are directed at me, poking fun at me, ridiculing me - but none of such comments had nearly the same popularity among Attytood conservatives as the one poster who posted graphic fantasies about excrement and male body parts." For the simple reason that none of the others' comments got you as riled up as French's did. It seemed to everyone that he was somehow hitting too close to home. "Where are 'conservatives' commenting about how they're waiting with tingling anticipation for the next of your comments, legatus? No 'conservatives' posted about how much they missed sloboat's comments while he was gone, no one has bemoaned the loss of Arnie (although, personally, I found his comments far funnier than Ricky's). Nope." When you start whining about my (or any of the others) comments the way you did with French, they'll start waiting in tingling anticipation. You really don't get it, do you Tps? "none of such comments had nearly the same popularity among Attytood conservatives as the one poster who posted graphic fantasies about excrement and male body parts. And you think it's purely coincidence?" Absolutely no coincidence Tps. None of the other comments elicited such shrill vociferous disfavor with YOU, as French's. "The reason why I re-posted Ricky's comments was to make it clear just how full of it the Attytood 'conservatives' are." Well, speaking of "full of it", you are asking us to believe that you, a liberal, posted comments which you consider to be "sick and twisted" in order to define the depravity of Attytood conservatives, yet simultaneously finding yourself faultless in posting a greater volume of the exact same perverse comments that you find so distasteful in Richard French. Now, you might say that you were posting these remarks for some principled reason, but you don't seem to see that French and the Attytood conservatives could make the same claim.
"Geez Tps, how many times do I have to explain it to you. It is the fact that French was able to toy with you that provided the impetus for the posting and for the encouragement. It had nothing to do with politics or scat...it had everything to do with you." There are plenty of Attytood commenters who dare to take me on, legatus, yourself included. Yet none got the "conservative" penguins clapping nearly as much as someone who posted about excrement and male body parts. Where are "conservatives" commenting about how they're waiting with tingling anticipation for the next of your comments, legatus? No "conservatives" posted about how much they missed sloboat's comments while he was gone, no one has bemoaned the loss of Arnie (although, personally, I found his comments far funnier than Ricky's). Nope. Ricky French has the darling of the Attytood conservative set. Many comments are directed at me, poking fun at me, ridiculing me - but none of such comments had nearly the same popularity among Attytood conservatives as the one poster who posted graphic fantasies about excrement and male body parts. And you think it's purely coincidence? lol! Keep trying to spin it, legatus, keep trying. The reason why I re-posted Ricky's comments was to make it clear just how full of it the Attytood "conservatives" are. Funny, none of them, including you, criticized him for originating the posts. In fact, just the opposite, they regularly encouraged him to post more of his sick and twisted fantasies. But yet, you laughably want to blame be because a Repubican lunatic posted sick and twisted fantasies, and was applauded by your ideological brethren. I guess you support Republican candidates, eh legatus? When one of your own does something reprehensible, blame a "lib."
"it certainly speaks volumes about the 'conservatives' that post here: they get their yayas from reading graphic fantasies about excrement and male body parts." Geez Tps, how many times do I have to explain it to you. It is the fact that French was able to toy with you that provided the impetus for the posting and for the encouragement. It had nothing to do with politics or scat...it had everything to do with you. Of course other liberals wouldn't encourage further postings, since you too are liberal. But, I'd imagine that they cringed every time that you played into French's game by responding to him. "Yes, I consider posting graphic sexual and scatological fantasies on a public forum is sick and twisted." Then why did you repost his comments ad nauseam? As one poster correctly pointed out in the past, it was YOU who posted more scatological references on this forum than anyone else. "But I feel no qualms about labeling such comments as sick and twisted." And yet you reposted them to a twistedly sickening extent. "Is it 'fair' for you to call homosexuality sick and twisted? I guess it is, legatus, but once again, I disagree with you if you choose to do so. Animals from many species display homosexual behaviors." And dogs (as well as other animals) are known to eat their own, and others, excrement. Does that mean that you're wrong about scat being sick and twisted? "If you don't see a difference between someone having genuine loving relations with another human being and posting deliberately antagonistic comments," Aha...so you admit that they were deliberately antagonistic comments. Clearly, as you've mentioned in another post, French doesn't know you personally. That being the case, his comments must've had nothing to do with your deviancy and everything to do with getting under your skin. They were directed at you, and you bit...hook, line & sinker. ~That~ was the beauty of his posts, which were cheered by some.
I no longer think that tps is going off the deep end. I'm now sure of it.
Geez, legatus. How many times do I have to explain it to you? Attytood conservatives, including yourself, have continuously lined up to express their glee and support in response to a lunatic posting comments about excrement and male body parts. Attytood liberals haven't done so. I have no idea if it says anything about "liberals" and "conservatives" in a general sense - but it certainly speaks volumes about the "conservatives" that post here: they get their yayas from reading graphic fantasies about excrement and male body parts. And, once again, as for "sick and twisted:" Yes, I consider posting graphic sexual and scatological fantasies on a public forum is sick and twisted. I realize that you don't share that opinion. I realize that you find it amusing, and wish that Ricky would write more of such comments. It is your right, certainly, to feel that way. But I feel no qualms about labeling such comments as sick and twisted. Is it "fair" for you to call homosexuality sick and twisted? I guess it is, legatus, but once again, I disagree with you if you choose to do so. Animals from many species display homosexual behaviors. 1/10 of the human population has always been and will always be homosexual. I choose not to judge others as being sick based on who they are attracted to, and at the same time, judge people such as Ricky as being sick and twisted. If you don't see a difference between someone having genuine loving relations with another human being and posting deliberately antagonistic comments, which clearly reflect a rather serious and pathological personality disorder, on a public forum where, undoubtedly they will offend a large number of people, so be it. I see a significant difference there. Sorry if that bothers you - it's just how I feel.
Question: "Who determines what is sick and twisted Tps?" Tps answer: "Everyone does so for themselves, legatus." Since you believe morality is relative, you can not definitively say that ~anything~ is sick and twisted. You can only say that it is considered sick and twisted to you and the majority of people, but that it is not inherently sick and twisted (since absolute morality does not exist). That being the case, it is also fair to say that homosexuality and abortion are sick and twisted since the majority of people would never engage in such acts. (Note: I am not talking about the legality of abortion here, rather its morality.)
"But what we do have evidence of is that quite a number of conservatives - apparently including yourself - greatly enjoyed Ricky's comments. Once again, I've never said that there is some cause and effect relationship that extends to other conservatives." So exactly what ARE you saying then? Do you believe this enjoyment is a function of their political ideology or some other factor? "Theoretically, it is certainly possible that what happens at Attytood is a complete anomaly" So you believe that it is ~possible~ that the conservative response to French's comments is due to factors other than political ideology? Would you characterize this possibility as remote or as probable? "and the fact a high percentage of the 'conservatives' at Attytood derive great enjoyment from reading sick and twisted comments, (while Attytood's 'liberal' commenters don't seem to share their taste in commentary), is just a total coincidence. Lol!" Ahhhh...the "lol!" belies your belief that it IS ideology which drives this "great enjoyment" (even though you are reluctant to have the courage of your convictions and come right out and say it). Proof please.
"....The Sloth is like one of those high school girls who, upon learning of some gossip making the rounds about her, defensively states that "I don't care what people say about me".---))) The scary part of that comment, sloboat, is that you honestly think that anyone else who posts here identifies personally with the reactions to their anonymous comments on a message board. Ok, let's take this slowly, alright? It's a message board, sloboat. No one here actually knows me. Ricky's fantasies about sex between me and Will were wholly constructed from his imagination. In reality, they have nothing to do with me or Will - and only reveal the sick and twisted nature of Ricky's thought fantasies. Of course, the fact that Ricky is a Republican lackey, and fact that so many of his "conservative" ideological brethren at Attytood derive great pleasure from reading his scatological posts about male body parts, is irrelevant. It doesn't reveal anything about the true nature of Attytood's conservatives. Lol!
"Are you proposing that they are bound in some type of cause/effect relationship? ...."----))) Geez, I don't know, legatus. Quite a number of the "conservatives," that post here regularly at Attytood clearly enthusiastically enjoy scatological fantasies about male body parts written by a Republican lunatic. I suppose that there might be some liberals, somewhere, that also enjoy such garbage, but we have no evidence of that from the comments at Attytood. But what we do have evidence of is that quite a number of conservatives - apparently including yourself - greatly enjoyed Ricky's comments. Once again, I've never said that there is some cause and effect relationship that extends to other conservatives. Theoretically, it is certainly possible that what happens at Attytood is a complete anomaly, and the fact a high percentage of the "conservatives" at Attytood derive great enjoyment from reading sick and twisted comments, (while Attytood's "liberal" commenters don't seem to share their taste in commentary), is just a total coincidence. Lol!
"'Conservatives' have posted repeatedly about how much they have enjoyed Ricky's scatological fantasies...'Liberals' have done none of the above." And exactly what do you think the reason for this might be? I've already given my thoughts on their rationale...what are yours? Are you proposing that they are bound in some type of cause/effect relationship? It sounds to me like you are saying "people eat food. people die. food causes death"
"That fact seems to bother you for some reason. Geez, I wonder why." Doesn't bother me in the least. I know why these particular conservatives "enjoyed Ricky's scatological fantasies, ask[ed] him to continue writing such posts, and lament[ed] the fact that his garbage no longer passes through the screening mechanism". It has nothing to do with political ideology, as you are clearly incapable of providing evidence to support your argument. Man, I miss Richard French.
"Clearly your propensity to want the last word provided French the impetus to continue to his remarks." Poor talking point sloth – he’s always pretending that French's comments don't bother him. The Sloth is like one of those high school girls who, upon learning of some gossip making the rounds about her, defensively states that "I don't care what people say about me". Meanwhile, everybody knows of course that she is desperate to have people believe that's how she feels.
I don't believe everything I read, especially when Bunch writes it.
So I guess today its appropriate to say that this blog has really gone to sh*+...
I was re-reading Will's post and suddenly realized that whenever my favorite newspaper columnist go on "book vacation," the columns disappear. Nice to see that a blog works differently--of course, nice for us, but harder for Will who has to keep posting even though writing a book.

"I refuse to believe that you are dumb enough to proffer the theory that conservatives are more prone to acceptance of scatological remarks than are liberals. ---))) I don't recall ever having said that, legatus. I have merely pointed out that the Ricky French fans at this site are overwhelmingly "conservatives." "Conservatives" have posted repeatedly about how much they have enjoyed Ricky's scatological fantasies, asking him to continued writing such posts, and lamenting the fact that his garbage no longer passes through the screening mechanism. "Liberals" have done none of the above. That fact seems to bother you for some reason. Geez, I wonder why.
"Make of that what you will." I believe I've already done that. Clearly your propensity to want the last word provided French the impetus to continue to his remarks. It was also a catalyst to the others who were cheering him on. I refuse to believe that you are dumb enough to proffer the theory that conservatives are more prone to acceptance of scatological remarks than are liberals. Unfortunately, I fully expect you to try to prove me wrong on your next post. If so, please provide ~some~ sort of evidence.
SUNSHINE SLEUTH .. remember when nat enq told us about mcvain cheating on wife without photos??NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporters Alan Butterfield and Alexander Hitchen filed a criminal complaint with the Beverly Hills Police Department on Thursday, July 25, charging that hotel security acted unlawfully while the reporters were trying to question the former senator.
Edwards now could be contacted by police to give an eyewitness account of what occurred.
Hotel security tried to stop the reporters from questioning Edwards in the basement of the hotel at approximately 2:40 a.m. Tuesday, July 22 after Edwards came off an elevator and appeared to be attempting to leave the hotel unseen.
Methinks tps is losing it. Oh well, he's nothing more than a
left-wing toady anyway.
I just saw this in the dentist's office! Congratulations.
And they should also have given you an award for weirdest commenters because, seriously.
"You can believe that acceptance or rejection of scatological remarks is correlated to political ideology if it soothes your hurt feelings however." Fact is, legatus, that some commenters expressed gleeful joy derived from Ricky's posts, expressed breathless anticipation for Ricky's next post, and have no expressed regret that they can't read his scatological and h*m*erotic posts any longer. They were all "conservatives." "Liberals," on the other hand, expressed a very different point of view of Ricky's contributions to Attytood. Make of that what you will.
Actually, it is clear to ~everyone~ on this forum that Richard French's comments were accepted (and considered humorous) simply because they were poking fun at YOU. You can believe that acceptance or rejection of scatological remarks is correlated to political ideology if it soothes your hurt feelings however.
Everyone does so for themselves, legatus. Apparently you didn't consider Ricky's fantasies of excrement and male body parts and excrement to be sick and twisted. And, apparently, many of your ideological brethren felt the same as you. I respect your right to find something redeeming about posting detailed comments about sex and excrement on a public forum. I can't agree with you, however.

Who determins what is sick and twisted Tps?
effin hilarious, mookie. So, reporters caught Edwards red-handed. Reporters with cameras. Uh. Were are the PHOTOS, mookie? You know, those things that reporters take with cameras? You know, those things that reporters would get tens of thousands of dollars for, if they had actually taken photos of Edwards in such a situation? Tell us, mookie: do you think that your simply astounding level of nativity and gullibility might explain why you're a Republican lackey? What's your next post about? Let me guess. MADONNA ARRESTED FOR SKIING NAKED? FERGIE POSES FOR PLAYBOY? TOILET PAPER SHORTAGE LEADS TO RIOTS? Good lord, what an idiot.
"...when was the last "fantasy" posted? ..." ----))) Not sure if any have made it through since the site's format changeover, but on a regular basis Republican lackeys comment on how much they miss Ricky French's posts Just check out the threads from yesterday or the day before. And no, legatus, sorry to yet again bust your ill-informed misconception about liberals, but they do generally consider sick and twisted fantasies to be sick and twisted. The only ones that ever defended Ricky French's bile (let alone posted about how much they enjoyed them and how much they miss them), were Republicans.
Congrats, will. I happen to agree with them on this.
soon to be buried by LATIMES..Subject: john edwards
Hey bloggers,
There has been a little buzz surrounding John Edwards and his alleged affair. Because the only source has been the National Enquirer we have decided not to cover the rumors or salacious speculations. So I am asking you all not to blog about this topic until further notified.
If you have any questions or are ever in need of story ideas that would best fit your blog, please don't hesitate to ask
Keep rockin,
Tony
That will certainly calm paranoia about the Mainstream Media (MSM) suppressing the Edwards scandal. ...
P.S.: Is the Times' edict a) part of a double-standard /////Security Guard Confirms Late-Night Encounter Between Former Sen. John Edwards, Tabloid Reporters In Beverly Hills Hotel
Friday , July 25, 2008
ADVERTISEMENTA hotel security guard told FOXNews.com he intervened this week between a man he identified as former Sen. John Edwards and tabloid reporters who chased down the former presidential hopeful after what they're calling a rendezvous with his mistress and love child.
The Beverly Hilton Hotel guard said he encountered a shaken and ashen-faced Edwards — whom he did not immediately recognize — in a hotel men's room early Tuesday morning in a literal tug-of-war with reporters on the other side of the door.
"What are they saying about me?" the guard said Edwards asked.
"His face just went totally white," the guard said, when Edwards was told the reporters were shouting out questions about Edwards and Rielle Hunter, a woman the National Enquirer says is the mother of his child.
The guard said he escorted Edwards, who was not a registered guest at the hotel, out of the building after 2 a.m. Edwards did not say anything while he was escorted out, said the guard, adding that at times the reporters on the scene were "rough on him," sticking a camera in his face and shouting questions.
I must take exception to b. atkinson's comment about "sycophant". I may have missed a few days, but haven't seen TPS post that word for, Oh it must be a month or so now. Now he just talks hate and marginizalization (and Oh by they way "where are the facts").
"fantasies about male body parts written by Republican lunatics." Tps says this as if it is a bad thing. And here I thought that liberals had more of an "anything goes" attytood about such things.

"and fantasies about male body parts written by Republican lunatics."....when was the last "fantasy" posted? ...2007? You seem to be the only one keeping your (wet) dream alive.
"The insightful conservatives who post regularly in the comments section put Attytood over the top...." Good one, jmc. Very funny. Cause, you know, there's nowhere else to read cut and pastes from LGF, Newsmaxm, and WorldNetDaily, and fantasies about male body parts written by Republican lunatics.

Obama's $845 billion U.N. plan forwarded to U.S. Senate floor
'Global Poverty Act' to cost each citizen $2,500 or more

The U.S. Senate soon could debate whether you, your spouse and each of your children – as well as your in-laws, parents, grandparents, neighbors and everyone else in America – each will spend $2,500 or more to reduce poverty around the world.
The plan sponsored by Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is estimated to cost the U.S. some $845 billion over the coming few years in an effort to raise the standard of living around the globe.
Barack Obama
S.2433 already has been approved in one form by the U.S. House of Representatives and now has been placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar for pending debate.
Glad for the good news, even if you are prone to odd fits of liberal outrage. <3
The insightful conservatives who post regularly in the comments section put Attytood over the top.
“weapons of mass defecation......”Stockpile Of Weapons-Grade Urine Discovered In Denver; Officials On Edge
Firefighters in Denver have discovered a house filled with urine that protesters apparently planned to throw at police during protests around the upcoming Democratic National Committee convention.
“I can confirm that a large cache of weapons-grade urine has been found in a Denver house recently,” said Denver Police spokesman Sgt. Mark Petrie. “This has caused quite a bit of concern for several reasons. First, the police nutritionist has warned us that the standard activist diet of latte, twinkies and marijuana is capable of producing urine of blinding toxicity. Second, the fact that they were able to pool together sufficient funds from their families to buy a house represents a significant tactical advancement for domestic activists over the much more decentralized parental-basement cells (PBCs) they traditionally operate from. Third, and perhaps most chilling, is the apparent abandonment of the cream pie as a weapon in favor of this new, potentially lethal weapon.
Recent Terror Attacks With Construction Equipment Spawn New Al-Jazeera Kids Show, “Ali-Baba The Builder”
The Arab-language TV network Al-Jazeera has fast-tracked a new animated children’s series titled “Ali-Baba The Builder” in an effort to capitalize on the apparent new trend in terror attacks: construction equipment.

The anointed one's pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action - and a blessing to all his faithful followersGerard Baker
And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.
The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.
When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

Latino-vs.-black violence drives
hate crimes in L.A. to 5-year high
Los Angeles Times, by Teresa Watanabe////////////////
Hate crimes in Los Angeles rose to their highest level in five years last year, led by attacks between Latinos and blacks, county officials reported today. The annual report by the Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission showed hate crimes rose by 28% overall for a total of 763, with assault and vandalism leading the way............ Our inert government allows an influx of poorly educated, low skilled, illegal aliens to flood our country, taking away jobs and neighborhoods from poor, low skilled Americans. The new arrivals have been racially discriminated against in their own country, but harbor racist sentiments themselves against the black Americans they are displacing from jobs and housing. Surprise, surprise -- racial strife is the result........... Quagmire! What is our exit strategy? When will the local government (Mexico) be able to take over and defend themselves?
Can the Obamasiaah wiggle his huge ears and make it happen or sprinkle fairy dust on them to change their minds..Iran ends cooperation with

AP, by George Jahn
//////////////
VIENNA - Iran signaled Thursday that it will no longer cooperate with U.N. experts probing for signs of clandestine nuclear weapons work, confirming the investigation is at a dead end a year after it began. The announcement from Iranian Vice President Gholam Reza Aghazadeh compounded skepticism about denting Tehran's nuclear defiance, just five days after Tehran stonewalled demands from six world powers that it halt activities capable of producing the fissile core of warheads.
