The Top 10 funniest jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival:
VBS TV: Afghanistan in the U.K. - Part 2 of 5
'Day two of our almost completely sleepless five day embed with 2 Para and we get to know some young soldiers who are preparing to go to Afghanistan, or “Afghan” as it’s commonly termed, for the first time. Among them are the two young women who look after 2 Para’s dogs, one of them a brutal, combat-shocked Alsatian trained to attack people in civilian clothing that we had to steer clear of at all times. We follow the troops as they “kill” some Taliban, played by Afghani-refugees. Finally we get to share some down-time and black comedy with some of B-Company’s sergeants, who finally solve the age-old riddle “Why has (toddler’s favourite) Noddy got a bell on his hat?”'

Article: Canada's wilting Greens
Last weekend Canada’s Green party held a policy convention and confirmed leader Elizabeth May as its leader going forward. May and the Green party leadership changed the party’s constitution to remove term limits for leaders, sidestepping an internal challenge from Green candidate Sylvie Lemieux.
Lemieux wanted a leadership contest, claiming that under May’s leadership the party has seen 25% of its members leave since the last federal election.

Double Dips - Credit ratings...............from Rico
I seriously have to wonder what our national credit rating will be in future once both of these "dips" get done with us.

YOY sales decline.............from Rico
I''m a BIG fan of Svenskarnasdag, so no surprise the Minnesota YOY sales decline of existing homes of 40.8% caught my eye.
[Jul '09 to Jul '10]
BUT the Wisconsin cheese-heads had a YOY sales decline of 43.1%!!
Meanwhile, back at the Neverland Ranch of reality per the MSM spin-meisters, it was NV and FL that were licking the toilet bowl (near 9%?).
- Not much of a comparison. Surprised that the media lied to you?
Yeah, yay, gimme more of that "recovery" oh annointed-ones in foggy-bottom!!!
- And the Justice Dept under Eric Holder is actibely looking for "Ebonics" experts. I think there are a butt-load of 'em in Rwanda and Zimbabwe, dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to New Zealand. (leave your daughter at home if you visit)
Seriously I love my country but some days I just wish most of the people in it would piss off and never come back because its not the place I grew up in.
Where is Richard George Apperley?
Why would you want to know? Possibly because he raped and sodomised a 15 year old girl and the sensible sentancing trust currently have him listed as: “Current Location:unknown “. And hes evidently been kicking about free in the community for four years.
We have a serious problem with youth violence, armed crime, child abuse and sexual crimes. If you visit keep this in mind, the secnery is pretty but some of the people are one step out the jungle, and its not a big step at that.

VBS TV:
'Motivated by the desire to find out just what makes smart young people want to join the army and go fight in Afghanistan, we travel to STANTA, a training camp in middle England to meet the esteemed 2 Para, one of the British army’s most elite, and legendarily aggressive, units. They are readying to travel to Helmand Province for Winter and are using a multi-million pound “Afghani Village” in the middle of the British countryside to prepare their new troops for their first visit to the war in Afghanistan. Some of the soldiers, male and female, are just 18 years-old.

Highway Robbery............from Rico
Politicians seek-out our money like pigs going after truffles.
The Social Security money was 'raided' by them because they wanted access to the cash. Traded for IOU's, that cash is now long gone. Spent.
The newly 'mandated' health care insurance scam will provide these leeches with another pot of cash, but they always need MORE.
Pending legislation by the Clowns nee' Congress to confiscate retirement IRA's will help pump more money out of your pockets into gooberment, and so will walking-away from 'promises' you'll get your money back after being forced to pay into Social Security by "means testing" [read: the politicians who are exempt will decide who gets screwed out of their money because they already have 'enough'].
Yeah, our politicians (BOTH parties) are really looking after us!
- Punish the taxpayers and the savers
- Reward the tax-eaters
This "new" world the politicians are creating is just like Orwell's "Animal Farm."
GOOD PLAN!

The New Auto IRA Is Just Highway Robbery
Inside Imam Rauf's Shady Washington-Riyadh Finance Trail
The full post is here, "Imam Rauf's Hush-Hush Taxpayer-Subsidized Middle East Tour — Plus, Inside the Victory Mosque's Shady Washington-Riyadh Finance Trail."
**********
Tammy Bruce identifies Imam Rauf and his wife Daisy Khan as "Obama's favorite Hillary Clinton Department funded Islamists." And while "Little Miss Daisy" made some rounds on the Sunday talk show circuit, our "bridge-building" Imam is little to be found. He has turned up, of course, in Bahrain. Most press outlets don't seem to care, but see the New York Post, "'Ground Zero' Imam on Mideast Tour to Make Islam 'Americanized'":
The imam behind the plan to build a mosque near Ground Zero surfaced yesterday far from the controversy -- in Bahrain, where he's on a taxpayer-funded trip to the Middle East to spread good will.
Appearing in public for the first time in weeks, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, speaking at a mosque near Bahrain's capital of Manama, said he wants to "Americanize" Islam -- but dodged questions about the uproar over his planned mosque and community center.
Rauf spoke against fanaticism, saying, "This issue of extremism is something that has been a national-security issue -- not only for the United States but also for many countries and nations in the Muslim world."
"This is why this particular trip has a great importance because all countries in the Muslim world -- as well as the Western world -- are facing this . . . major security challenge," Rauf told Associated Press Television News in a brief interview.
The cleric also said he was working on a way to "Americanize Islam," but didn't offer any details.
No details...
That makes sense, since the dude's looking for $100 million large to help finance the Ground Zero Victory Mosque. No doubt sharia finance networks will be coming up with some of that cash, news of which of course wouldn't go over so well with some of the 9/11 families now speaking out in New York. Indeed, opponents of the mosque might not have the full details on the depth of Imam Rauf's scam, which is more fundamentally implicated into the Obama administration than has been noted by most commentators.

Claire Berlinski on Moderate Islam
Claire Berlinski lives in Istanbul. She's got an interesting blog post, "Is Islam Itself the Enemy?", and there's a raging debate on her Facebook page. This comment struck me as profound:
I've just walked down a street filled literally with thousands of Moslems of exactly the kind many people are seriously arguing do not exist. I saw them with my own eyes, as I have every day for the past five years. With so many other questions in the world, why waste time debating this? Book a ticket to Istanbul, spend an afternoon here, have a lovely time, drink some tea, meet friendly, tolerant, warm, welcoming Moslems (mostly), and see for yourself. They exist! They're my neighbors and my friends! Babür, is there anyone at our gym, for example, who would not describe himself as a Moslem? Would any member of our gym endorse terrorism, honor killing, forcing me to wear the hijab, or subjecting me to a dhimmi tax? The idea is so absurd it's beyond discussion -- and yet we're discussing it.Yes, this is good. And I think it's important. Every once in a while I have Muslim students in class, and we have thoughtful discussions. But they are such a small minority that we don't get a critical mass of opinion to sort out variations in opinion within the Islamic community. So, call me agnostic on the kind of experience Claire Berlinski's having. More immediate to me is David Horowitz's experience. I've had a few similar to this, in my engagement with the ANSWER Coalition. And this kind of experience is a good test. When Muslims come out to denounce Hezbollah, that'll be a good step toward identifying and working with the moderates Claire champions. Meanwhile, see, "The War Against the Jews at UC San Diego":
There are whole departments of this university that are sponsoring this hate week and thus the war against the Jews it encourages, including the Visual Arts Department, the Literature Department and the Ethnic Studies Department. The Thurgood Marshall College is another official entity sponsoring these incitements and lies. If you look at the codes this university claims to live by, you will see that chief among them is respect for diversity – for the ethnicities of students who attend this school. There is no respect for Jewish students at this campus when a week of hate like this is thrust in their faces courtesy of university faculties and administrators.And continue reading for the text of Horowitz's exchange with Jumanah Imad Albahri, the UCSD MSA activist who refused to denounce Hezbollah, the fanatical Islamist militant organization committed to the extermination of the Jews.
There are thirty campuses across the nation hosting Israel Apartheid Weeks this spring, including the University of California — Irvine, UC Berkeley, Boston University, Brandeis. Brown, University of Wisconsin, University of Houston, Brooklyn College, University of Chicago, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, UCLA, DePaul, Columbia, University of Illinois, University of Minnesota, University of Washington and others.
Behind each and every one of these hate weeks against the Jews is the Muslim Students Association. Many people on this and other campuses mistake the Muslim Students Association for a cultural organization that represents all Muslims. It is no such thing. The Muslim Students Association is a sister organization of the terrorist organization Hamas, and like Hamas, is part of the Muslim Brotherhood network.
Hasan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood and the architect of terrorist jihad was an admirer of Adolf Hitler, whose organization translated Mein Kampf into Arabic. The father of Palestinian nationalism, Haj Amin al-Husseini, was one of Al-Banna’s heroes and is revered to this day by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas as the father of Palestinian nationalism. Haj Amin al-Husseini was a Nazi. In the twenties and the thirties he preached the extermination of the Jews and inspired two celebrated massacres of Jewish settlers. During the Second World War he went to Berlin to work with Hitler to recruit Arabs to Nazism . He devised his own plan to create an Auschwitz in the Middle East and was thwarted in setting up his death camps only because Rommel was defeated at El-Alamein. After the war, he and al-Banna led the Arab crusade against the creation of the Jewish state.
Why is the Muslim Students Association that violates the diversity principles and ethical codes of every one of these universities allowed to sponsor hate weeks against Israel and the Jews on these campuses? Where is the outrage over the lies the Muslim Students Association spreads along with its incitements against the Jewish state? Shame on the University of California for its role in this event. Shame on Thurgood Marshall College and the faculties that sponsored it. And shame on the Muslim students who use the shield of their religion to advance the Islamic war against the Jews.

Taking a swan dive..............from Rico
Government bonds (debt) are taking a swan dive to the mat.
The bond market is telling you there will be "more economic pain and crisis ahead."
Government bond (debt) defauls and currency devaluations are coming.
Through a Glass Darkly . . . . .
Economic destruction continues apace. You can see the effects dependent on where you reside. Some of you are insulated from the attendant outcomes of the current depression though look closely and you can see the fragility of our society. You can see it in the eyes of those who have suffered the loss of employment. You can feel it out amongst the citizenry who act more like caged animals than they do free men. Civility? Where? I live in a town with a population of less than 1,000 people. It takes me 45 minutes to an hour to get to the nearest “big box” store. Our local and state police are overwhelmed and complaining that they can’t keep up with the criminal element. Gangs have been formed; some have moved in from urban areas, most are rabble though there are a few professionals amongst them. You will see them again. Through a Glass Darkly
