heath ledger dead - lesson for the rich and famous
2008-01-23 01:07:00 What is it about beauty, fame and riches (BFR) that fails to satisfy those who have it? If you look at Marilyn Monroe we can assume it's that beauty, fame and riches do not bring love. And so, poor Marilyn, stunningly beautiful, the most famous actress of her time, with more money than she could spend, died alone and without love. But perhaps it has nothing to do with having all these great things but in how one has attained them. Marilyn once told us, "Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul." I suppose once you have sold your soul for half a buck, there is nothing more left to value in your life. And so we learn today from initial reports that Heath Ledger , 28, was found dead in a New York City apartment on Broome Street a few blocks from my office in SOHO owned or inhabited by Mary-Kate Olson [update - it isn't her apartment] and that it appears to be a suicide [but since he was naked I don't think it was ...

Why I'm a Gold Bug
2008-01-22 20:06:00 Gold BugFlickr Photo by: Sybil Star.My daughter-in-law asked me a few weeks ago what to do about her stock portfolio, the value had dropped so much. I told her then, as I suggest to all of my readers now, that one should have at least 10% of their assets in gold, preferably in ingots such as the 1/10th and 1 ounce variety. Here is my reasoning: Suppose you have $100,000 in assets with 90% in stocks and 10% in gold ingots. If Islam disappears from the face of the Earth and the world is all rosy and peaceful then your stock investments in 30 years will be worth millions and you'll be able to live in comfort in your golden years. Gold will be worth little but that won't matter because you will be living in peace and security. On the other hand, if things continue with Liberals ignoring the Muslim threat and the world economy drops in the toilet with disease, famines, and wars all over the Earth, then in 30 years your gold will be worth millions. You will be able to live peace... More About: Gold
The Right to Insult Muslims
2008-01-22 03:52:00 We have seen these posters before: "Behead those who insult Islam" and "Butcher those who mock Islam" and "Slay those who disrespect Islam". For the Muslim faithful, freedom of expression is an impediment to the spread of Islam and, in the case of the Danish Cartoons, an excuse by the kafirs to insult the Messenger of God, which insult is punishable by death:Western Resistance, 15 Mar 2006, UK: Five Islamists Who Called For Death In Cartoon Protests ArrestedAt the time of the Messenger Muhammad (saw) there were individuals like these who dishonoured and insulted him upon whom the Islamic judgement was executed.

If Muslims wanted to rule the World
2008-01-19 00:13:00 Iran 100kgFlickr Photo by: azrainman.Reader Philpot left this comment regarding my article The Gorilla in the Room is NOT US Support for Israel: "A terrorist can be no more than a nuisance to a state. Look at Israel if you don't believe me. Still going strong.....thanks to US money, and the complete incompetence of every islamofacist on the planet." Philpot's premise is that it is futile trying to defeat an abstract idea that could hardly ever ever ever come to fruition, namely a global Caliphate and the destruction of western ideals and as proof he offers us the fact that despite the presence of terrorists Israel remains viable and is even prospering. The United States spends 3.7% of its GDP on the military [WIKI]; which is, percentage-wise, less than I spend as a businessman on insurance and security to make sure my business stays in business, so it's not like Philpot is being asked to forego butter for guns.

The Gorilla in the Room is NOT US Support for Israel
2008-01-17 23:13:00 Elephant in the room, part deux.Flickr Photo by: Cody Simms.There are quite a number of websites that would like everyone to believe that US Support of Israel is the main reason for 9/11 and the real reason THEY hate us. One of the ways to do this is to show up at the 9/11 Hearings and stage this question: "why aren't we addressing the gorilla in the room? The gorilla in the room is US support for Israel." One particular megalomanic blogger is Representative Press who leaves the same message on numerous forums and groups throughout the Internet for the past few years, on soc.culture.israel, sci.military.naval, alt.politics.bush, War Without End Forum, and hundreds of other groups and forums. Here is a list of of over 1500 postings on Google Groups alone. But that is a good trick.

Again, Fearful Jews Imperil More Jewish Lives
2008-01-17 00:21:00 Nothing has changed in the past 80 years. Back then, the world sat in silence while a madman threatened Jews with extermination and promised one world under the control of the German Empire ("Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer." - "One People, one Empire, one Leader."). Today, we have scores of madmen threatening Jews with extermination and promising one world under the control of an Islamic Empire and again the world sits back in silence. During World War II, it was known that there were death camps being run but the US refused to bomb the tracks leading to them. Even Jews did nothing: YAHOO News, 11 Jan 2007,Bush: US should have acted on Auschwitz Eliezer Schweid, a professor of Jewish Thought at Israel's Hebrew University, said the question of a bombing is irrelevant in retrospect.

The Gratitude Campaign - See a Soldier Thank Him
2008-01-16 02:58:00 Here's a wonderful idea: many Americans want to express their gratitude to members of our military, but most aren't really sure how to proceed, so Scott Truitt came up with a simple and heartfelt gesture that would do it:King5.com,23 Sep 2007,Seattle man starts 'Gratitude Campaign ' to thank soldiers"For several years I've been walking up and saying thank you to them when I've see them and sometimes its a really comfortable situation, and sometimes its not so comfortable," he said.

No Black can be Vice-President
2008-01-15 19:45:00 I am confident that in America today a black person can be elected President . I do not judge people by their skin color and I believe there are enough Americans like me to make that possible. Back in April of 2006, the blog Barackface suggested that a Hillary-Obama ticket might be facing McCain in 2008. We will have to wait a bit to see if this turns out to be a prescient posting, but I thought about this and I came to the conclusion that a black person would have a better chance being elected President than showing up as a VP pick on any ticket where a white person is the Presidential hopeful. Here's why: at some point the suggestion will be made that there has to be some black madman out there who very likely will want to kill any whitey just so a black man (or woman) will get to be president. I know that Hillary has a great set of balls but I don't know if she has cojones big enough to ignore that threat, however slim it might be. Related: Talk Left, 24 Oct 2006,A Hillary...

Only Idiots Willingly Become Muslims

I received a number of emails at the time calling me a bigot for making the remark. Well, here's proof that you have to be an idiot to convert to Islam: Thanks to Kathy at Five of Fury we learn that Britney Spears threatens to become Muslim/commit suicide. There is nothing that Britney can do about the suicide: once she converts to Islam she will have to Honor-Kill herself for being a shameless hussy.

For the Love of Jihad
2008-01-12 13:19:00 A tip of the turban to Kathy at Five Feet of Fury for pointing us to this ad rejected by Ms. Magazine because it was too too dhimmified to run it: I think I will submit the ad below and see if Ms. Magazine likes it any better; after all, the women of Palestine are so much more empowered than the women of Israel with opportunities like learning to operate Qassam rockets. And Ms. should love the fact that HAMAS women do not tote grocery bags or babies around but rather rifles and rocket-propelled grenades. So while Ms Magazine worries about the feelings of its Muslim readers (all 4 of them, if that?) it isn't worried about its tens of thousands of Jewish readers. Interesting.

Muslims for Jesus
2008-01-11 20:14:00 If there is one consistent thing that I write in my blog posts, it is that Islam is not a religion. Had Adolph Hitler had the presence of mind to call Nazism a religion, to call Mein Kampf a Holy Book, and to declare himself but a messenger of God, then no one would have been able to condemn his hatred of the Jews, his call to eradicate them from the face of Earth, and his quest for world domination. But, you protest, Mein Kampf is a political treatise. So is the Quran. Chapter 15 of Hitler's book outlines The Right To Self-Defense that mirrors Mohammed's view of Jihad. Indeed, "Mein Kampf" in German translates to "My Jihad". How is Hitler's view that Jews are conspiring to keep his people from rightfully ruling the world any different than Mohammed continually accusing Jews of treachery for aiding his enemies [WIKI] and thus preventing Islam from rightfully ruling the world? Hitler's problem is simply one of timing - were Hitler alive today, his anti-Jewish views and ... More About: Jesus , Muslims
England to Arrest the Lionheart
2008-01-10 05:42:00 I warn about the threat of Islam to protect 303,204,346 American lives. Sites like Americablog, the Daily KOS and other idiot Liberals warn us about the threat of the Patriot Act in order to protect a handful of Islamic Terrorists. It is an established fact that I know someone who knows someone, etc, who knows Kevin Bacon, but I do not know anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who ... knows someone who was ever arrested under the Patriot Act.

10 Palestinians Killed for Every Israeli is intolerable
2007-12-03 02:32:00 child_suicide_bomber Originally uploaded by BHowdy There are approximately 90 to 125 times as many Muslims as there are Jews [1.61 Billion Muslims to approximately 12.8 to 18.2 million Jews depending on one's definition of a Jew] so if every time Muslims picked a fight with Jews only 10 Muslims got killed for every 1 Jew that would be very unfair and intolerable to say the least. No, if Jews want to survive there has to be at least a 100 dead Muslims for every 1 Jew in order for the fight to be fair. I mention this because one of my readers left this comment: "Since Sept 29, 2000 the number of Israeli children killed by Palestinians is 199. The number of Palestinian children killed by Israelis is 971." What I don't understand is how numbers alone have any meaning. If Palestinians killed 199 Jewish children then, to be fair, Israel should have killed at least 18,000 Palestinian children, to do less is a losing battle given the huge numbers of Muslims in the world and their rep...

Something to Admire about Muslims
2007-11-29 03:14:00 Non blown up bombOriginally uploaded by Fr@nçois.A thousand years ago Hasan-i-Sabbah created the Order of the Assassins, a fanatical group said to have been drugged into committing political murder and promised the sexual delights of paradise if they were caught and killed. So far, they sound no different than Palestinian suicide bombers. But there are a number of distinctions. Firstly, they never targeted random, innocent civilians. The victim was always a single military or political target. Secondly they disdained the use of a crossbow or poison for fear of collateral damage. Their weapon of choice was the dagger, which has to be done up close and personal and assures that only the intended victim is indeed assassinated. Thirdly, their death was never a suicide - they never took their own lives. Almost always, they died at the hands of the victim's bodyguards. In this manner there is much to be admired about what today some may erroneously call terrorists. I do not,... More About: Muslims , Some , Admire

Well, without hesitating a beat, she clonked me on the head with a wooden stirring spoon. She didn't hit me hard enough to knock me out or give me any lasting dis-figuration on my noggin, but what really hurt was the shock of getting hit at all for merely making a suggestion.

Muslim Games
2007-11-21 20:29:00 When I was a child (1950) I was in thrall to movies like The Prince Who Was a Thief and Thief of Bagdad. While the latter won Academy Awards for art direction, color cinematography, and special effects, the former would be practically unwatchable today. One of the reasons children can enjoy films like The Prince Who Was a Thief is that children are not critical; they find no need to notice Tony Curtis' horrible New York accent which is rather jarring in an Arabic setting. The plot is so-so but the acting is pretty horrible for sophisticated audiences. But I loved it. Children watching movies is rather like liberals when they consider Islamic atrocities. The left will accept any Muslim barbarity or attack against the West as if it were an inconsequential plotline in a film.

The models were short, medium, or tall; some were thin, average or pudgy; but all were attractive. (Western audiences may also find that they will need more patience: the show ran 4 hours) I should also mention that Indian fashions appear easy to wear. I've seen American models strutting feathers and accessory nonsense that make them look like starving parrots. At the Awards, designer Manish Malhotra won the best designer of the year award.
