Stuxnet Not What It's Cracked Up To Be............from Dan Friedman

Stuxnet rattled Iran but atom work goes on: report

(Reuters) - The Stuxnet computer worm caused relatively limited damage to Iran's nuclear program and failed to stop the Islamic republic stockpiling enriched uranium, a U.S.-based think-tank said in a report.

Decoding global warming stories...........from the Daily Bayonet

A handy cut-out and keep guide to phrases frequently used in global warming news stories, and what they really mean:

“since records began” - since 1850 if using observed data, or about 1980 if using satellite data

“might, may, could, perhaps” - we can say anything is happening if we put enough modifiers in front of it

“experts say” - (a) we’re an NGO in need of funding or (b) I’m a scientist in need of funding

“science is settled” - stop asking questions, we know better than you skeptics/deniers/cranks/scary people

“consensus of scientists” - the wisdom of crowds is all we have left, so SHUT UP

“CO2 pollution” - your high school science teacher lied about CO2 being plant food

“increasing global population” - pesky developing nations are demanding cars and appliances. The horror.

“sustainable development” - subsidies now, or the planet gets it

“raising awareness” - hippies doing something daring or stupid for attention

“cooling caused by warming” – hey, you believed everything else we said, why stop now?

WoW Backstage

 
It's the Wow Council - Watchers of Weasels - a blogging group consisting of some of the most incisive blogs in the ‘sphere, and the longest running group of its kind in existence. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council.Then we vote on the best two posts, with the results appearing on Friday.

Take advantage of this especial chance to hang backstage and check all the hot! submissions - many won't make the final cut for the Weekend WoW.

Obama is Pulling Ahead of Carter.............by Dan Freidman

"The U.S. has never tried so hard and failed so utterly to make and keep friends in the Third World.”


Take a stroll down memory lane with the the late, great Jeanne Kirkpatrick and see if you can recognize the striking similarities between a peanut farmer’s costly errors in 1979 and a community organizer’s costly errors today. Of course, due to inflation, contemporary errors cost us lots more than they did thirty years ago. Not even the clear-eyed Kirkpatrick ever imagined that even the worst future president would stand aside and watch Carter’s Iran obtain nuclear weapons.

Lara Logan's Sexual Assault in Egypt

If the crime is rape, expect the most obscene responses to it, from both left and right. I frankly was horrified by the story, and needed more information. But that wasn't the case for many others. See: "Reactions to Lara Logan's Sexual Assault in Egypt."

Black Veil Brides

Ihkwan - rhymes with 'stick one.'

Just saying. In certain circles - concern for a re crunk'd up Caliphate is LOL'd. The bringer upper is often regarded as being paranoid, hot for fear mongering, loving Little Satan a little too much, m"Hammedist phobic - or worse - woefully misinformed.

So what?

Regardless of any chances that a trip on the Way Back Machine will - or will not -create a redux of Ottoman like Imperial m"Hammedism, there is a very serious - secular - concern about the Ihkwan.

Especially in Egypt.

And it should be addressed repeatedly until it's common knowledge in diplopolititary discourse au courant.

One of the charming things about Ihkwan in Pyramidland is all the jazz about all the 'hospitals' and 'clinics' they fund and run.

Try and find or search something about them - it's nigh impossible to find any specifics.

It is actually mind crawlingly creepy to add that to the mix that Egypt is the world's leader in horrific gender apartheid of the most depraved control freak mentality ever devised. Indeed - little girls from all over the AO are taken to Egypt to undergo a procedure that decorum prohibits mentioning.

So, is this the work of the Ihkwan 'clinics' and 'hospitals'?

Pic - "The Brotherhood envisions the establishment of a democratic, civil state that draws on universal measures of freedom and justice, with central Islamic values serving all Egyptians regardless of colour, creed, political trend or religion"

Dear Abby.........

Dear Abby,

My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit-card bills and at the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money. He says pay the minimum and let our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest. Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more. Also, he has gotten religious. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ, and the next he's with Muslims. Finally, the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly creepy! Can you help?


Signed, Lost in DC


Dear Lost:

Stop whining, Michelle. You can divorce the jerk any time you want. The rest of us are stuck with him for two more years!

Video: E Patrol at Edendale Vintage Crank-up Weekend

E Patrol drove 9.5 hours South to Edendale to join the Hochgebirgsjager 4 Unit from MRS for a weekend of display, battle and fundraising for RSA and Rannerdale Veterans' Hospital.
Hochgebirgsjager 4 was very hospitable and made us feel incredibly welcome!! Their display was top notch and they were not afraid of getting their kit dirty; Fighters, every man of them! Damned good sports, we appreciate the effort they go to despite the negativity surrounding their chosen side - in re-enacting SOMEBODY has to be a Jerry and we fully respect and appreciate those who have the skin thick enough to do it!!

Reason TV: 3 Reasons This Budget Won't Win the Future

Egypt and that huge sucking sound!...........from Rico

This was a fast, easy 'read' and it pretty much tracks with what I've seen and learned during many-many years in the Middle East.

Egypt can go from 'equally bad' to 'much worse' but it will NEVER have a Western-style democracy.
- Our pro-anything-bad-for-us MSM bless their pointy "progressive" heads is battling to keep from telling us what we already KNOW. Even their prattling casnnot drown out the HUGE sucking sound coming out of the Middle East and Egypt today.

The Muslim Brotherhood?
- Extremely BAD NEWS for all concerned. When our Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Clapper says they are secular, he is demonstrating that he is just as CLUELESS a 'tool' as when he was head of DIA (Dummies In-Action as I am wont to say from experience, and not the Defense Intelligence Agency as they call themselves...they who believe their own inflated/conflated FITREPS). Yes, James Clapper is a monumental shithead in a city full of them.

And the LAST bit of cheery news? Soetoro-Obama is a freaking Marxist who wears his heart on his sleeve for Islam and Muslims.
- F*ck me sideways!!!!! This will not end until the sands are fused into a big swath of glass............

Imagine a world without Isam.....you can bet this lady wishes she could.
