Michael Moore Defends Julian Assange on 'Countdown With Keith Olbermann'
Moore starts blabbering about halfway through the clip, and at 14:00 minutes he claims that the rape allegations against Assange are "a bunch of hooey." See the reports at Mediaite, "Michael Moore’s Comments on Julian Assange Rape Allegations Spark Outrage," and "Limbaugh: Liberals Would “Help A Thousand Rapists” To Free “One America-Hater”."
All in the name of anti-Americanism.
Abe Greenwald put it perfection yesterday at Commentary:
Why are those Americans who are most distrustful of the U.S. government, and so eager to undermine it, the same ones who are most desperate to give it control over their own lives? Michael Moore has made a big P.R. show of his pledge to pay Julian Assange’s bail. “WikiLeaks, God bless them, will save lives as a result of their actions,” he writes, and puts the U.S. government on notice: “You simply can’t be trusted.” Moore offers advice to those of us who see something wrong with Assange. “[A]ll I ask is that you not be naive about how the government works when it decides to go after its prey.” Right. Instead, you should be naïve about how government works when it decides to take control of your health care, regulate your business, and spend your earnings. Moore, you may have forgotten, calls for the U.S. government to provide “free, universal health care for life” for “every resident of the United States” and demands that “pharmaceutical companies … be strictly regulated like a public utility.” That’s the old anti–Big Brother spirit.More at the link.
When men like Michael Moore are not calling for the government to be undermined and defied, they’re petitioning for it to chauffeur them to the movies, cook their meals, and tuck them into bed. One news cycle finds HBO’s Bill Maher telling America not to allow the government to inject “a disease into your arm” in the form of a vaccine and that “I don’t trust the government, especially with my health.” The next, he’s calling for “Medicare for all” and lamenting the absence of a fully government-run health-care system that would operate like the U.S. postal service.

Greek Anti-Austerity Protests Turn Violent
More anarcho-asshats. And anarcho-communist asshats.
At NYT, "Anti-Austerity Protest in Greece Turns Violent": ATHENS — Thousands of Greeks took to the streets of the capital on Wednesday for a protest against a fresh wave of austerity measures which was marred by violence as a general strike brought international travel and public services to a standstill.
The walkout — Greece’s seventh general strike this year — grounded flights, kept ferries in ports, halted train services and shut down government offices and schools while leaving hospitals to operate on emergency staffing and causing a news blackout as journalists joined the action. Public transport was operating for most of the day to enable Athenians to attend demonstrations in the city center.
Around 20,000 people answered the call of unions representing civil servants, private sector workers and the Communist Party for three separate demonstrations. The rallies were mostly peaceful until the early afternoon, when self-styled anarchists broke off from the crowd and attacked the police with firebombs and chunks of stone torn up from sidewalks.
Public Flogging in Sudan
It could be tough to watch if you choke up at these things. Video at the link.
It's heartbreaking. Notice at 1:30 seconds. The woman raises her head in pain, and while brief, it's clearly a pleading scream for deliverance from this evil. Via Doug Ross and Right Scoop.

New British Destroyer........
Press Release to coincide with the introduction of the new Type 45 Destroyers.
Details have been released regarding Britain's introduction of the next generation of fighting ships. The Royal Navy is proud of the cutting edge capability of the fleet of Type 45 destroyers. Costing £750 million, they have been designed to meet the needs of the 21st century; in addition to state of the art technology, weaponry, and guidance systems, the ships will comply with the very latest employment, equality, health & safety and human rights legislation.
They will be able to remain at sea for several months and positively bristle with facilities. For instance, the new user friendly crow's nest comes equipped with wheelchair access. Live ammunition has been replaced with paintballs to reduce the risk of anyone getting hurt and to cut down on the number of compensation claims. Stress councillors and lawyers will be on duty 24hrs a day, and each ship will have its own onboard industrial tribunal.

The BIG bounce..........from Rico
Ayn was one smart woman. She wrote about "the BIG bounce" long before any of the economic 40# brains even had a glimmer of a clue.
Sadly, this is true even today. We are witnessing pretend-and-extend economics, also known as MOPE (management of perception economics).

Redneck Traffic Stop
It seems a guy cruises through a stop sign and gets pulled over by a local policeman.
The guy hands the cop his driver’s license, insurance verification, and registration. The policeman notices a Concealed Carry Permit as the man was fishing out his drivers license. So the cop asks, “Are you carrying today?”
“Yes, I am.”The guy hands the cop his driver’s license, insurance verification, and registration. The policeman notices a Concealed Carry Permit as the man was fishing out his drivers license. So the cop asks, “Are you carrying today?”
“Well then, better tell me what you got.”
The guy says, “Well, I got a .357 revolver in my inside coat pocket. There’s a 9mm semi-auto in the glove box. And, I’ve got a .22 magnum derringer in my right boot.”
“Okay,” the cop says. “anything else?”
“Yeah, back in the trunk, there’s an AR15 and a shotgun. That’s about it.”
The cop asks, "Are you on your way to or from a gun range ?”
“Nope.”
“Well then, what are you afraid of ?”
The guy responds, “Not a damn thing.”
