Tiffany Gets Knocked Up:

OK, I know it's been out for a little while, but it's too good to pass up:

Terrorism and Global Warming

It seems that Osama bin Laden has reared his head once again to blame the Great Satan. This time, we're wholly responsible for 'global warming.'

From this source:

Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden has called for the world to boycott American goods and the U.S. dollar, blaming the United States and other industrialized countries for global warming, according to a new audiotape released Friday.

In the tape, broadcast in part on Al-Jazeera television, bin Laden warned of the dangers of climate change and says that the way to stop it is to bring "the wheels of the American economy" to a halt.

He blamed Western industrialized nations for hunger, desertification and floods across the globe, and called for "drastic solutions" to global warming, and "not solutions that partially reduce the effect of climate change."

Bin Laden has mentioned climate change and global warning in past messages, but the latest tape was his first dedicated to the topic. The speech, which included almost no religious rhetoric, could be an attempt by the terror leader to give his message an appeal beyond Islamic militants.

Hello? Leftists, are you getting this?

Have you noticed that OBL's talking points are almost identical to those of the Left?!?

Global warming is a fraud. We all know it; the emails from 'Climategate' prove it, and the continuation of policy and taxation to somehow stop it is nothing more than a get rich scheme for politicians.

Hell, Al Gore's explosion of wealth while he consumes more energy than half the State of Tennessee proves that.

Osama bin Laden knows that the one way to defeat America is to render her as poor and third world as the hellhole he comes from. We've proven to him that he cannot do that with terrorist attacks, so the next logical choice is to get us to destroy our economy and energy capabilities, and idiot leftists will go along happily as long as they can make a buck in the short run.

And while we're mentioning international terrorists, when the hell is the dumbass who is supposed to be in charge of protecting us from them going to be fired?

Janet Napolitano sure as hell made sure to get her face time in front of the camera at the State of the Union address, but earlier that day she couldn't be bothered to do her job.

Top Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee publicly scolded Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano for failing to show up at a Wednesday hearing where the committee examined the attempted Christmas Day suicide bombing of Northwest Flight 253. One Democrat on the committee said he wanted to know “where the hell” Napolitano was.

That evening, Napolitiano did prominently show up at the Capitol to attend President Barack Obama's State of the Union address. But earlier in the day, she dispatched Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Jane Holl Lute to testify on her behalf in the Homeland Security Committee on what went wrong in the homeland-security process that allowed would-be suicide-bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to board a plane bound from Amsterdam to the Detroit.

------------------------------------------------------

Democrats openly expressed their dismay with Napolitano as the hearing proceeded. Rep. Chris Carney (D.-Pa.), chairman of the Subcommittee on Management, Investigations and Oversight, said during his question period: “I am very dismayed that the Secretary herself isn’t here. I mean it’s probably fair to ask: “Where the Hell is Secretary Napolitano?”

Rep. Jane Harman (D.-Calif.), chairman of the Subcommittee on Intelligence, said: "I would like to welcome our witnesses but comment on the absence of Secretary Napolitano. This is the committee with primary jurisdiction over the Department of Homeland Security. She is the secretary of Homeland Security. She is in Washington, D.C. She was invited to testify at this very important hearing, and she should have been here. … I am very personally disappointed that she isn’t here.”

(Read it all here.)

Maybe she was just too embarrassed to show after her moronic "the system worked" comment.

FORGOT HE WAS BLACK?!?

Here's Chrissy Matthews making an ass of himself yet again:

Can you believe this fool?!?

Ladies and gentlemen, if anyone on the right had said anything even remotely approaching what Matthews said, it would have been career ending.

And the left has the gall to call us racist?

Tonight: Agony.

You know it's going to sound just like the above cartoon.

Hilariously, while Obama is ready to get on stage and tell a grandiose, flowery, scripted lie during the State of the Union address, Jakarta is considering pulling down a statue of "Little Barry."

From this source:

Indonesian authorities said Monday they are considering a petition to tear down a statue of US President Barack Obama as a boy, only a month after the bronze was unveiled in Jakarta.

The statue of "Little Barry" -- as Obama was known when he lived in the capital in the late 1960s -- stands in central Jakarta's Menteng Park, a short walk from the US president's former elementary school.

Critics say the site should have been used to honour an Indonesian and 55,000 people have joined a page on social networking website Facebook calling for the statue to be removed.

"We've been discussing for the past two weeks what to do with the statue... whether to take it down, move it elsewhere or retain it. We're finding the best solution," Jakarta parks agency official Dwi Bintarto said.

Obama, who was born in Hawaii, lived for four years as a child in Jakarta from 1967 after his divorced mother married an Indonesian.

The bronze was designed by Indonesian artists and depicts the boy Obama dressed in shorts and a T-shirt with a butterfly perched on his hand.

"The statue is of Obama as a child, not as the US president. His relatives and friends who erected it said it's meant to motivate children to study hard and dream big," Bintarto said.

Members of the "Take Down the Barack Obama Statue in Menteng Park" group on Facebook say Obama has done nothing for Indonesia.

"Barack Obama has yet to make a significant contribution to the Indonesian nation. We could say Obama only ate and s (expletive) in Menteng. He spent his subsequent days living as an American," the web page says.

"For the dignity of a sovereign nation, Barack Obama's monument in Menteng Park must be removed immediately."

Arrogance:

"Act Like a Lady"

Hello?

National Organization of Women? Hello?

ANY women's rights groups?

This just shortly after Schumer called a flight attendant a BITCH.

THIS just shows out in the light of day the misogyny of the left! ANY woman who votes for a leftist should have the ghost of a Suffragette slap them to death.

'Cause This Just Never Gets Old:

This really is fantastic:

Croakley is Done!

Dems are scratching their heads today, throwing excuses as to Coakley's loss up against the proverbial wall to see what sticks.

From this source:

Rep. Steve Driehaus, D-Ohio, said Democrats never properly messaged the health care bill. "We have been so focused on getting the right number of votes and getting the legislation drafted that we forgot we have to message this to the American people and help the American people understand what's in it," he said.
Not enough health care reform: While some Democrats were saying slow down, others said speed up, and that the reason Coakley lost is because voters were frustrated by the legislative inertia in Washington.
"The reason Ted Kennedy's seat is no longer controlled by a Democrat is clear: Washington's inability to deliver the change voters demanded in November 2008," Service Employees International Union President Andy Stern said. "Make no mistake, political paralysis resulted in electoral failure."

Two reasons are incorrect in the leftists' assumptions.

One: We KNOW what's in most of the bill. WE DON'T WANT IT.

Two: We are tired of being ruled with impunity by petty monarchs. The damn chair doesn't belong to the Kennedy family, it belongs to WE THE PEOPLE.

Your arrogance appalls even traditionally blue Massachusetts. Wake up, leftists.

PS: I've not had time today to look up the statistics and I haven't heard a peep from the MSM. Does anyone have a link for the percentages of votes?

MLK Day

I think this one is worth a thousand words:

Coaklely is a FOOL.

More idiocy from the State of Assachusettes... I know, I know, what a surprise, right?

Well, thank goodness I'm not a Catholic, or she'd have me out of a job.

From this source:

How can a Massachusetts Senate candidate possibly offend 39 percent of voters in her state? If it's Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley, she would tell devout Catholics not to bother working in an emergency room (H/T Jim Hoft - Big Government). In the audio clip below, Ms. Coakley chokes on a question from radio host Ken Pittman referring to the conscience clause. Under the conscience clause, workers in health-care environments ranging from doctors to maintenance men can refuse to offer services, information, or advice to patients on issues like contraception, blood transfusions, etc..if the workers are morally against it. Here is how Ms. Coakley handled the matter. (audio and transcript below):

Ken Pittman: Right, if you are a Catholic, and believe what the Pope teaches that any form of birth control is a sin. ah you don’t want to do that.

Martha Coakley: No we have a separation of church and state Ken, lets be clear.

Ken Pittman: In the emergency room you still have your religious freedom.

Martha Coakley: (……uh, eh…um..) The law says that people are allowed to have that. You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.

Here is the audio from the link above.

Keep it up, leftards. You're going to had that seat over on a silver platter.

New Exhibit at the Met: Dhimmitude

The newest exhibit at the Met?

Dhimmitude.

Is the Met afraid of Mohammed?

The Metropolitan Museum of Art quietly pulled images of the Prophet Mohammed from its Islamic collection and may not include them in a renovated exhibition area slated to open in 2011, The Post has learned.

The museum said the controversial images -- objected to by conservative Muslims who say their religion forbids images of their holy founder -- were "under review."

Critics say the Met has a history of dodging criticism and likely wants to escape the kind of outcry that Danish cartoons of Mohammed caused in 2006.

"This is typical of the Met -- trying to avoid any controversy," said a source with inside knowledge of the museum.

The Met currently has about 60 items from its 60,000-piece Islamic collection on temporary display in a corner of its vast second-floor Great Hall while larger galleries are renovated. But its three ancient renderings of Mohammed are not among them.

"We have a very small space at the moment in which to display the whole sweep of Islamic art," said spokeswoman Egle Zygas. "They didn't fit the theme of the current installation."

This is probably a toss-up of the insane politically correct need to never offend Islam, and the desire not to have some crazy Islamist rush into the gallery shooting, self-detonating, or attempting to hack up people with an axe over a mere image, as I posted on recently.

After all, we all know what happens when Islam is offended.

The Met is pulling historic works of art in order to satisfy an insane group of violent thugs hiding behind a religion.

Muslims don't want to see or acknowledge historical art like this:

I am forced to wonder if the Met would have the balls to include Islamic art like these images, This is Muslim Hell, which according to the old pedophile and misogynist Mohammad, mostly contains women:

Nah. It probably wouldn't fit their "theme."

Jihad Panty Bomber Update:

An update on the jihadi panty bomber, everyone!

From this source:

DETROIT - A Nigerian man accused of trying to ignite an explosive on a Detroit-bound U.S. airliner on Christmas appeared before a judge for the first time Friday, against a backdrop of protesters who stood outside the courthouse waving American flags and denouncing acts of terror.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's arraignment was brief — less than five minutes — and a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf. He said little, telling the judge simply that he understood the charges against him.

(Notice the complete lack of the word "MUSLIM." We get that he's a Nigerian, instead. Riiiight.)

The guy with the roasted nuts entered a NOT GUILTY plea in court. I just cannot wait to see how he explains off possessing more PETN than Richard Reid and an incendiary device, and how he must have accidentally char-broiled his boys.

But wait, it gets better! Abdulmutallab's lawyer is suspected of forging documents on behalf of her 'clients' in previous terror cases.

If the name sounds familiar, that’s because you’ve read about Siefer on this site, before. During the Detroit terror cell case, she represented Karim Koubriti, an Islamic terrorist in a cell, which plotted to blow up the U.S. Air Force Base in Turkey, where U.S. AWACS and Israeli F-16s are based and from where they took off. They also plotted to blow up hotels and casinos in Las Vegas and planned to detonate in Disneyland.

During the course of her “representation” of terrorist Koubriti, Siefer and her fellow public defender, Richard Helfrick a/k/a Rick Helfrick (who will probably also assist her in representing Abdulmutallab), stole the stationery of the then-Chief Judge of the Federal Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Lawrence Zatkoff, forged Zatkoff’s name, and sent it to another attorney in the case, accusing him of faking invoices (which wasn’t true). That makes at least several federal crimes that I can think of–theft, forgery, impersonating a federal official, mail fraud, etc. but they got away with it.

In an interview, Judge Gerald Rosen, who presided over the Detroit terror cell case, admitted to me that Siefer and Helfrick forged the documents. Then, he berated me for daring to ask about it, saying his court “deals in serious issues.” I guess attorneys in a federal case committing several crimes and impersonating a federal judge, just aren’t serious.

And rather than PROFILE for terrorists, and as if the full body scan isn't enough of an invasion of your privacy, now we have this.

MIND READERS

The aim of one company that blends high technology and behavioral psychology is hinted at in its name, WeCU -- as in "We See You."

The system that Israeli-based WeCU Technologies has devised and is testing in Israel projects images onto airport screens, such as symbols associated with a certain terrorist group or some other image only a would-be terrorist would recognize, company CEO Ehud Givon said.

The logic is that people can't help reacting, even if only subtly, to familiar images that suddenly appear in unfamiliar places. If you strolled through an airport and saw a picture of your mother, Givon explained, you couldn't help but respond.

The reaction could be a darting of the eyes, an increased heartbeat, a nervous twitch or faster breathing, he said.

The WeCU system would use humans to do some of the observing but would rely mostly on hidden cameras or sensors that can detect a slight rise in body temperature and heart rate. Far more sensitive devices under development that can take such measurements from a distance would be incorporated later.

If the sensors picked up a suspicious reaction, the traveler could be pulled out of line for further screening.

"One by one, you can screen out from the flow of people those with specific malicious intent," Givon said.

Some critics have expressed horror at the approach, calling it Orwellian and akin to "brain fingerprinting."

For civil libertarians, attempting to read a person's thoughts comes uncomfortably close to the future world depicted in the movie "Minority Report," where a policeman played by Tom Cruise targets people for "pre-crimes," or merely thinking about breaking the law.

LIE DETECTORS

One system being studied by Homeland Security is called the Future Attribute Screening Technology, or FAST, and works like a souped-up polygraph.

It would subject people pulled aside for additional screening to a battery of tests, including scans of facial movements and pupil dilation, for signs of deception. Small platforms similar to the balancing boards used in the Nintendo Wii would help detect fidgeting.

At a public demonstration of the system in Boston last year, project manager Robert Burns explained that people who harbor ill will display involuntary physiological reactions that others -- such as those who are stressed out for ordinary reasons, such as being late for a plane -- don't.

The system could be made to work passively, scanning people as they walk through a security line, according to Burns.

Field testing of the system, which will cost around $20 million to develop, could begin in 2011, The Boston Globe said in a story about the demonstration. Addressing one concern of civil libertarians, Burns said the technology would delete data after each screening.

Finally, here's Zo's take on the subject:

Snow Day

The "white death" is here today. It is falling softly on the ground, and by 15:00 we should have anywhere from four to six inches. The kids' school cancelled class for today, and the children are spoiling to go outside. I told them to wait until after lunch when they will have a couple of inches to play in.

(Thank goodness for global warming. Just imagine how bad the cold and snow would be without it. Heh. )

The people in the Cincinnati area bemoan snow, rush to the grocery store at the first prediction of a flake and clear the shelves of bread, milk and toilet paper as if there will never be another shipment for the rest of the season... And then there's the driving skill around here...

But I like it. Everything is so quiet and beautiful.

Here's a picture taken here in Ohio:

Cardinals are the state bird, and they do happen to be one of my favorite local creatures. They are non-migratory and mate and live in pairs. Where you see this male, the female is no doubt close and a keen observer can usually find her, being that she has the same build and markings, but in color is a dilute red and mostly brown. In the spring, you won't see her as the male will be out foraging for her and the new chicks. We have a pair or two living in our neighborhood.

In any case, I hope you all have a great wintery day!

They are so pompous, the leftists don't even try to lie to us anymore.

Cowardly Obama Closes US Embassy/ Cartoonifada is Back!

Upon threat of terrorist attack in Yemen, the Obama administration has tucked America's tail between it's legs and closed the Embassy, preferring instead to support an anti-terrorist police unit in Yemen.

Great. Yet another failure program we can pay for.

From this source:

LONDON – Britain and the United States are assisting a counterterrorism police unit in Yemen amid fears of an increasing threat of international terrorism emanating from the country, the British government said Sunday.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown's office said that he and President Barack Obama agreed to "intensify joint U.S.-U.K. work to tackle the emerging terrorist threat from both Yemen and Somalia" in the wake of the failed Detroit terror plot.

"Amongst the initiatives the PM has agreed with President Obama is U.S.-U.K. funding for a special counter-terrorism police unit in Yemen," the statement said.

The U.S. embassy in Yemen closed on Sunday, citing ongoing threats by the al-Qaida branch that has been linked to the failed Christmas Day bombing attempt of a U.S. airliner headed to Detroit. The embassy would not say if there was a specific threat.

The confrontation with the terrorist group's branch in Yemen, at the tip of the Arabian Peninsula, has gained new urgency since the 23-year-old Nigerian accused in the attack, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, told U.S. investigators he received training and instructions from al-Qaida operatives in Yemen. President Barack Obama said Saturday that al-Qaida's branch in Yemen was behind the attempt.

Even worse, it's the leftists in our government who have perpetuated this problem by believing the can rehabilitate terrorists with pansy liberal programs like art therapy.

That's right. Finger painting for terrorists. I. Shit. You. Not.

We have 'art grads' from this program, former Gitmo detainees, actively involved in terrorist plots against this country.

Thanks a lot, libs.

From this source:

A cushy Saudi Arabian "rehab" center where terrorists are encouraged to express themselves through crayon drawings, water sports and video games is under scrutiny after one of its graduates re-emerged as a leader in the al Qaeda branch claiming responsibility for trying to blow up an airliner on Christmas.

Said Ali al Shihri -- a former Guantanamo Bay detainee who now heads the terror group al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula -- obviously didn't get to the bottom of his America-hating issues while undergoing the controversial rehab for jihadists.

Inmates like Shihri are supposed to while away the days playing ping-pong, PlayStation and soccer in hopes that the peaceful environment will help them cope with their jihadist rages.

Bomb-makers and gunmen participate in art therapy to help them explore their feelings non-violently.

In between tasty picnic-style meals of rice and lamb and snacks of Snickers along with dips in the pool, participants practice Arabic calligraphy, produce dizzying Jackson Pollack rip-offs and imagine the aftermath of car bombings in crayon.

Some 1,500 al Qaeda terrorists have "graduated" from the program, including 108 former Guantanamo Bay detainees, the Washington Post reported.

"The Saudis talk about a success rate of 80 to 90 percent, but when you look at what those numbers mean in reality, it all falls down. There is no criteria for evaluation," John Horgan, a Department of Homeland Security consultant, told the New York Post.

In 2009, Horgan visited several of the Saudi terrorism rehab centers to report on the programs for Homeland Security.

"These guys are not being de-radicalized. They are being encouraged to disassociate from terrorism, but that doesn't mean their fundamental views changed," said Horgan, director of the International Center for the Study of Terrorism at Penn State.

-----------------------

"There are guards and gates and barbed wire but it's not quite prison," Christopher Boucek of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, who has visite

d the center, told ABC.

"It's a communal living environment that's more like 'Hogan's Heroes' than 'Escape From Alcatraz.' "

A team of shrinks works with the inmates in managing their emotions, and they are given lessons in Islam from imams, who warn them that jihad is only acceptable when sanctioned by the state.

Toward the end of their stint, some inmates are allowed to make unescorted visits to family members.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is insanity. Idiot liberals who wanted to 'feel good' about themselves and prove how 'progressive' they are have put in charge of this country a man who barely ever made a decision, but rather voted 'present' in his almost half a Senate term served before he began campaigning. We have in charge a man who has no military experience, indeed, I believe he hates the military with a passion.

We have a man who put in charge of Homeland Security a woman so politically correct that she calls terrorism "man-caused disasters" and thinks the fact that blind luck and a couple of brave passengers was the system working.

We have in charge a man who was a 'community organizer.'

This country doesn't need an 'organizer.' We need a solid leader. We need a man who isn't afraid to secure our borders, pulling our troops and putting them there if necessary. We need a man who isn't afraid to bomb the shit out of any Middle Eastern or Muslim country that even thinks about hurting America, or harboring those who do.

On another front, it seems the Cartoonifada has started back up!

From this source:

COPENHAGEN — Police shot a Somali man wielding an ax and a knife after he broke into the home of an artist whose cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb-shaped turban outraged the Muslim world, the head of Denmark's intelligence agency said Saturday.

Jakob Scharf said in a statement that a 28-year-old man with ties to Al Qaeda entered Kurt Westergaard's home in Aarhus Friday night. But Westergaard pressed an alarm and police arrived minutes later.

The attack on the artist, whose rendering was among 12 that led to the torching of Danish diplomatic offices in predominantly Muslim countries in 2006, was "terror related," Scharf said. He said the man would be charged with attempted murder.

Westergaard, whose 5-year-old granddaughter was in the home on a sleepover, sought shelter in a specially made safe room when the suspect broke a window of the home, said Preben Nielsen of the Aarhus police.

Officers arrived two minutes later and tried to arrest the assailant, who wielded an ax at a police officer. The officer then shot the man in a knee and a hand, authorities said. Nielsen said the suspect was hospitalized but his life was not in danger.

Yes, his granddaughter was there and surely would have been killed as well. Also, you read right, this man has to have a safe room in his home over a damned drawing.

Now that's a religion of peace, all right.

But wait, it gets better:

"The arrested man has, according to PET's information, close relations to the Somali terrorist group al-Shabab and Al Qaeda leaders in eastern Africa," Scharf said. PET is Denmark's intelligence agency.

Scharf said without elaborating that the man is suspected of having been involved in terror-related activities in east Africa. He had been under PET's surveillance but not in connection with Westergaard, he said

The man, who had a permit to stay in Denmark, was to be charged Saturday with attempted murder for trying to kill Westergaard and the police officer, Scharf said.

Notice how the article will not say Muslim or Islamic terrorist. It's a Somali that was linked up with a terrorist group.

Dhimmitude most foul by our midstream media!

Here is the cartoon that draws such ire from Islam:
