Right after a C-SPAN interview where Президент Оба́ма admits that we’re out of money, he seeks to extend the reach of the Internal Revenue Service into the halls of European Banks. Those same European Banks are showing signs of revolt, in refusing to take new American clients should those proposals be enacted into law.
Imagine that.
The very protectionism that governments around the world are enacting, tax hikes and trade restrictions for starters, are the very same actions they took nearly eighty years ago and prolonged he Great Depression of that era. And yet, Оба́ма continue to insist that they take more and more from the people, fighitng the EEEEVIL Banks and businesses. What duplicitous bulls**t.

Since I got such a kick out of the original recruitment ad for the JMSDF from the late 90s, which I chronicled here, I managed to find a more recent campaign, this one from 2006:

I wonder if those ads say “Don’t Frak With Us, North Korea!”

Maritime Self-Defense Force!
Strongest on the seas!
A steel castle!
Escort ship!
Hunter of the heavens
With eyes that can see for a thousand miles
Patrol plane!
A dolphin that hears all
Submarine!
International service?
Leave it to us!
Air cushion craft!
Helpers of the seas
Rescue lark!
Defending Japan night and day
Its duties never end
Go!  Maritime Self-Defense Force

No DPRK references, unfortunately. The humor is lost in English because the ad is written to sound like a Japanese POWER RANGERS-type show and if one doesn’t grow up with that sort of thing, it’s not as funny ... though I did grow up with it, and I’m not laughing.

Dang. Maybe someone in the ad agency at the JMSDF can take care of that?

Today I issue not just one Race Card…but TWO! There are race baiters not just here in the USA, but also elsewhere. Lula, the President of Brazil, uttered the following in relation to the current financial mess, at a joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown:

“This crisis was caused by the irrational behaviour of white people with blue eyes, who before the crisis appeared to know everything and now demonstrate that they know nothing.”

And Prime Minister Brown was Chancellor of the Exchequer before he inherited his current post, and just stands there and lets Lula say this? He is just as full of s**t as Lula is, and THAT’s why he’s getting the Race Card too!

I’ve been rooting for Benjamin Netanyahu to become Prime Minister of Israel for quite some time. Since the wimpy-a** bastards over in Kadima failed to form a Unity government, Israeli President Shimon Peres has given Bibi the opportunity.
And it’s about time. Since Президент Оба́ма took office, the only people who will be able to take care of the People of the State of Israel…will be the Israelis themseves. As long as Likud’s in charge.
Now, Mr. Netanhayu…please go and kick the a**es of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranians, since the guy who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is bent over for them.

Earlier this year, the Archbishop of Canterbury opened his mouth regarding not insulting Islam and the inevitability of Sharia in the UK. Now, he’s chiding us for what we’re trying to do to combat the financial crisis:

“How we all work is vastly complicated—no one is pretending it isn’t. But without these anxieties about the specific costs, we’ve lost the essential moral compass.”

And you, sir, lost that same moral compass by comparing OUR way of life to Nazism, whom the Islamofascists you wish to praise want to emulate by destroying it. You are lost to moral relativism. If Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, has any sense of decency left, she should fire your a**.

My apologies once again to David Byrne and the Talking Heads….
There was a fire at Gibson Square’s headquarters in London yesterday. Three guys are in custody on charges related to the UK’s anti-terrorism laws. So what did Gibson Square do?
They published an historical novel about Aisha, the nine-year-old child “bride” of Mohammed. It’s a sure bet that the three guys who allegedly set the fire were probably thinking along the lines of “You blaspheme our prophet, now you will pay!” Notice, BTW, that I refuse to capitalize what everyone else does.
And what’s even worse than this “blasphemy”: the author is an American woman infidel. Look out! Get ready for some more riots! Remember, these folks demand that you respect them as a Religion of Peace. Otherwise, they’ll kill you!
LAN ASTASLEM. I will not submit.

China’s first three-man space mission, Shenzhou VII, blasted off at 2110 Beijing time (0810 hours Eastern Time) today. The three-day mission will feature their first EVA.
According to Xinhua, the three taikonauts…Mission Commander Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipen…may also hold a meeting of the DFC Chinese Party while in orbit. In any case, I hope they do return safely to Earth.

So, the European Union is reviving “Ode to joy” as their anthem? Hmmm…this calls for some appropriate lyrics, which they can sing as they also fly their revived flag. You know, the blue field with twelve yellow (HA!) stars:

“We Elites from High in Brussels
Shove decrees right up your b**t
We will tell you to enjoy it,
Watch us as we bust our nut!

Then we’ll pass the laws that will tell you
How to eat, to drink, get fit.
You will scream and shout and complain,
We won’t even give a s**t!”

Of course, one could substitute DC for Brussels and there would be no loss of effect here. But today, the target is the European Union. Not the countries, not their people subjects. Just their government.

Now here’s a treasure…NOT:

And the guy was offered only 20 Euros for this? I wonder what King Juan Carlos has to say about this….

Wait till you get a look at these babes who live in the past…they dress as in the past, they act as in the past, and they say they’re all happier because of the greed, materialism, and just plain insanity of modern society. At least they still live in the 20th century!
My pick? Definitely the 50s gal….now does this lady have a friend too?

...there were the chariot races at the Circus Maximus. Anyone who’s seen Ben-Hur will know.
It turns out there’s a movement afoot to bring back these chariot races to Rome; it also turns out that some chariot races have already taken place elsewhere: Jordan, Bulgaria, and…France.
I only hope some FIA-type organization doesn’t get their grip on it and regulate it to death.

Here is a short video released by the Colombian Government, three days after a successful Hostage Rescue operation which duped the FARC terrorists, freeing three American defense contract workers, Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt, and 11 Colombian soldiers. I’ll bet that guy who was “interviewed” in the tape and didn’t say much in any case…is now dead. If he isn’t he’d better be thanking whatever deity he believes in.
Colombia says no foreigners were involved in the operation. So what if they were? Fact of the matter is, these people are no longer Hostages. And there’s also another side benefit. Remember when a FARC laptop was seized a few months back with info on Comrade Chavez and Barack Obama? I’ll bet there was also info on where the Hostages were being held, and the Colombians had to have factored that into the operation, leaving Chavez thoroughly red-faced (imagine that).
While I’m at it, if you’re reading this Fausta, I’m guessing that you speak Spanish, so if you could provide some type of translation of what’s being said, that would be great!
GOOD JOB COLOMBIA! Or should I say COLOMBIA…F**K YEAH!

UPDATE (1203 MST): Fausta has a translation of the video!

Or perhaps since this UFO was reportedly spotted over Cardiff, Wales, UK, the Torchwood Institute might be a better candidate?

Or perhaps UNIT? What! They changed the name! I guess the words ‘United Nations’ and ‘Intelligence Taskforce’ really are oxymorons!

Here’s an ironic comment I found about Japan’s execution of their most notorious serial killer from the 1980s, Tsutomu Miyazaki, which took this long to happen:

“I love that Japan, the most tech-obsessed society in the world, uses a totally retro method of execution.”

Indeed.
The guy spent 10 years on trial (which included a battery of mental tests) and another 10 years on 死の列, using every bulls**t excuse he and his attorneys could muster, and the Japanese finally put this sick motherfrakker to Death by Hanging.
Good riddance. Say hello to Saddam while you’re at it.

While I was researching the previous article about Dhimmi Carter, I stumbled upon the following:

I thought wait a minute, isn’t Ellen an American? Of course she is! She should not be listed amongst this island’s famous people, no matter what her sexual orientation is.
