While the residents of the gulf area go without jobs, clean water or any hope of an end to the continuing oil spill, Michelle Obama takes a luxurious vacation at taxpayer expense.
Even a day at the beach is done in presidential style for the First Family.
Currently enjoying a relaxing California vacation, Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha arrived at the extravagant beachside mansion of billionaire financial mogul, Howard Marks, on Wednesday afternoon…RadarOnline.com exclusively learned that mother and daughter pulled into the luxurious private estate in Malibu over looking the Pacific Ocean at 3 p.m. They were escorted by a police motorcade and spent a perfect summer day by the beach.
So far, the First Family has been experiencing the Hollywood highlife during their trip. They watched the Los Angeles Lakers blow out the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Tuesday night. Before the game, they stopped in at the famous hot dog stand Pink’s for a ‘gourmet’ dinner.
I'll bet the people living in the Gulf would like to enjoy their beaches... And what happens when the people of Louisiana try to take matters into their own hands, because after two months the government has done nothing to stop the spill or clean up the mess?
The coast guard stops 16 ships from going out to suck up oil to make sure there were enough life vests and fire extinguishers on board.
Because regular bacon just isn't perfect enough, I suppose. Heh.
Finally, and I am NOT making this up, a German student attacked a Hell's Angles gang after flipping them off by throwing a puppy at them, and then made his escape by stealing a bulldozer.
A local eyesore just a few stone's throws near my home along I-75 in Ohio is locally referred to as the 'butter Jesus', or my favorite, 'field goal Jesus.' It was roughly 65' tall.
The thing was called butter Jesus because it looked like a butter sculpture in person, although I rather thought it looked like a demented person slopped it together out of paper mache. The picture really doesn't do the ugliness justice.
Before and after:
Sadly, as one local talk show host pointed out, (Willie) The finger of God missed the Hustler store and the mosque by the highway. Damn.
The thing is ugly as sin, makes no sense proportionally (look at the cross v.s. the arms), and is inexplicably coming out of a large man-made pond in front of the Solid Rock Church.
(Don't get my husband started on those freaks. His crazy ex's parents are charter members there, so he has first-hand experience with being dragged into crazy land.)
Anyhow, we had a wicked thunderstorm last night, and a bolt of lightening struck field goal Jesus and having a metal frame wrapped in fiberglass... Let's just say he went up like a Roman candle.
I might feel bad, but as I said, the thing was ugly as sin, built by a bunch of weirdos, and really challenges the line of 'no graven images', IMO.
They say they're going to rebuild it. For $700,000... Like that money couldn't go to much better ministry purposes.
Is it just me, or does this politician look just a little bit blasted? Perhaps it was intoxication that fueled his decision to assault someone, or or could it be arrogance:
If you or I had pulled this, or a GOP'er, we'd be arrested. Why is it that this isn't on the midstream media, and that it seems Dems can get away with anything?
What kind of hot dogs are usually at a picnic? Sabretts? Oscar Meyer? Ballpark? Nope, that won’t do for The Obama’s. Even the friggin hot dogs have to meet a certain standard.
They had to have Byron’s hot dogs, from Chicago. So you’re thinking they flew in the hot dogs, right? Wrong. They flew in the owner, Mike Payne. The ingredients for making his famous hot dogs were then summoned to the White House so he could specially prepare them. For a friggin picnic.
This is a mockery of all the people who HAVE to eat hot dogs… for dinner… every night. And not any fancy shmancy ones. Whatever is on sale will have to do. Obama is a jackass.
Your tolerant and benevolent 'religion of peace' is up to its usual violence and murder.
It would seem the Taliban is getting extra-creative with their efforts. Rather than just hide roadside bombs filled with shrapnel, they are filling them with dirty needles in the hopes of infecting surviving soldiers with HIV and hepatitis, and all in the name of their pimp god and urine-chugging, child-molesting, murderous prophet.
Hypodermic syringes are hidden below the surface pointing upwards to prick bomb squad experts as they hunt for devices.
The heroin needles are feared to be contaminated with hepatitis and HIV. And if the bomb goes off, the needles become deadly flying shrapnel.
The tactic, used in the Afghan badlands of Helmand, was exposed by Tory MP and ex-Army officer Patrick Mercer.
Senior backbencher Mr Mercer said yesterday: "Are there no depths to which these people will stoop? This is the definition of a dirty war."
Razor blades are also being used. All Royal Engineer and Royal Logistic Corps bomb search teams have been issued with protective Kevlar gloves.
Although the probability of someone becoming infected in this manner is low, I suppose we have to give the adherents of Islam points for trying, eh?
Next up, the Taliban has decided to keep a close watch on their children:
KABUL: Suspected Taliban militants executed a seven-year-old boy in southern Afghanistan after accusing him of spying for the government, a provincial official said Wednesday.
The child was captured by the militants in Sangin district of southern province of Helmand Tuesday, Daoud Ahmadi, a spokesman for the provincial governor, said.
"The militants killed the seven-year-old boy in Heratiyan village of the district, on charges of espionage for Afghan government," Ahmadi said, citing information provided to police by relatives.
Now that takes courage, huh? It's doubtful that the boy was a 'spy', though possible. Even so, killing a seven-year-old child is extra-special, ROP. It must have taken a lot of courage and 'allahu akbar's to get that holy job done.
Next up, Hezbollah and Rosie O'Donnell join forces to defend Helen Thomas.
Hezbollah on Wednesday saluted veteran US reporter Helen Thomas's "courage" for her controversial comments against Israel, which sparked a furor and forced her to retire.
"Respected American journalist Helen Thomas's answer shows ... a courageous, bold, honest and free opinion which expresses what people across the globe believe: that Israel is a racist state of murderers and thugs," Hezbollah MP Hussein Moussawi said in a statement.
And here's O'Dumbass' take:
No, no, no, Rosie, and all of you idiot, moron, fucktard leftists who either purposefully ignore history or are just plain ignorant of it:
At least some of us are getting it. This is well worth the watch:
There are three posts up today. I just couldn't decide on one, sorry!
It seems that in the UK, more prisoners are converting to Islam because Muslim prisoners have it better. It seems some people are more equal than others.
From this source:
Inmates are converting to Islam in order to gain perks and the protection of powerful Muslim gangs, the Chief Inspector of Prisons warns today.
Dame Anne Owers says that some convicted criminals are taking up the religion in jail to receive benefits only available to practising Muslims.
-------------snip--------------
All prisons offer a halal menu, which some inmates see as better than the usual choices. Muslims are excused from work and education while attending Friday prayers. Some converts, who are known as “convenience Muslims”, admitted that they had changed faith because they got more time out of the cells to go to Friday prayers. One quoted in the report said: “Food good too, initially this is what converted me.”
In some of the most secure jails, the size of the Muslim population is well above average. Two years ago, Muslim inmates accounted for a third of prisoners in Whitemoor, Cambridgeshire, and a quarter of inmates in Long Lartin in Worcestershire.
The report says that inmates converted after learning about Islam from other inmates or their family, to obtain support and protection in a group with a powerful identity and for material advantages. One inmate quoted in the report said: “I’ve got loads of close brothers here. They share with you, we look out for each other.”
As if the WTC mosque wasn't insulting enough, we are now discovering that the donors to fund the mosque have dubious ties, to say the least.
The Muslim cleric behind the proposed giant mosque near Ground Zero is none other than a major donor to the pro-Hamas Free Gaza movement, the New York Post reported. The cleric, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf also is a key figure in Malaysian-based Perdana Global Peace Organization.
The Free Gaza group has been behind several attempts to break the Israeli sea embargo on Hamas. The latest attempt, under the guise of sending humanitarian aid, was foiled Saturday when the Israeli Navy intercepted the “Rachel Corrie” ship before it could approach the Gaza Coast.
The Perdena organization has donated $366,000 to Free Gaza, which has organized several attempts to break the Israeli sea embargo on Hamas-controlled Gaza. Earlier in the week, the Mavi Marmara ship’s terrorist "activists" opened fire and brutally beat Navy commandos, despite Free Gaza promises that there would be no violence. Free Gaza spokeswoman Greta Berlin has charged that the IDF edited and falsified videos clearly showing that the passengers on the ship initially assaulted commandos before they reached the decks.
“We have two Imam Raufs," Deborah Burlingame, the sister of the American Airlines pilot whose hijacked plane struck the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, told the New York Post. "We have the anti-Israel, anti-democratic imam, and we have the smiling, soft-spoken moderate Muslim who says, 'Why can't we all get along?' "
The proposed 13-story mosque and community center, to cost $100 million, has been met with outrage in New York, despite Rauf’s focusing on peace. "We must fight those who are against us with peace and our assurance that we have peace in our hearts,” he recently told Muslims at a Friday prayer service.
Tea Party Express chairman Mark Williams called the project a monument to 9/11 attackers, and the “9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America” calls the proposed project “a gross insult to the memory of those who were killed on that terrible day.’’
However, New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg supports it, and zoning officials have approved the plan. (IsraelNationalNews.com)
