Well I will not slack any more, unless, of course, I die of boredom. The way things are going, that is not about to happen.
Paul is dead
Anyone remember the late 60s when the Fab Four dropped hints that Paul was dead?
Clinton Calm in Hostage Crisis; Dec 1,
2007;
by GLEN JOHNSON; Associated Press Writer
Take a look at Broom Hillary's "Paul is Dead" moment.
When the hostages had been released and
their alleged captor arrested, a regal-looking
Hillary Rodham Clinton strolled out of her
Washington home, the picture of calm in the
face of crisis.
Now if anyone here thinks that this hostage crisis was a random act, think again. It worked for the Beatles to increase record sales. Think it will work for the Broomrider to get her back into the primaries?
The image, broadcast just as the network
news began, conveyed the message a
thousand town hall meetings and campaign
commercials strive for - namely, that the
Democratic presidential contender can face
disorder in a most orderly manner.
"I am very grateful that this difficult day has
ended so well," she declared as she stood
alone at the microphone.
Nothing happens by accident when it comes to the Devious Duo. If any one of you think so, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you. I think this is as phoney as the day is long. The movie industry has been using p.r. stunts for decades.
Little more than three hours later, just in
time
for the 11 p.m. local news, Clinton reaffirmed
that perspective. In New Hampshire, she
embraced her staffers and their families, and
lauded the law enforcement officials who
brought a siege at her local campaign
headquarters to a peaceful conclusion.
Not only just in time for the local news, but just in time to shore up her sagging pathetic campaign.
It was a vintage example of a candidate
taking
a negative and turning it into a positive. And
coming just six weeks before the presidential
voting begins, the timing could hardly have
been more beneficial to someone hoping to
stave off a loss in the Iowa caucuses and
secure a win in the New Hampshire primary.
I'm not so sure the writer of this story got the entire scenario right. He's tipping off too much here. Wouldn't be surprised if the Klinton warroom calls him on that paragraph. Sort of telegraphing the "coincidences".
Police later arrested 47-year-old Leeland
Eisenberg of Somersworth, N.H., and charged
him with kidnapping and reckless conduct.
They said he walked into the office,
demanding to speak to Clinton and
complaining about inadequate access to
mental care.
The aides said Clinton immediately canceled
her trip and began working the phones. She
later told reporters she had New Hampshire
Gov. John Lynch, a fellow Democrat, on the
phone in eight minutes.
If you look at it, this is a "made to order" crisis. The guy will walk away clean because his lawyers will use mental illness as a defense. It serves the purpose. She is made to look like some shining knight in her all-her-sand-in-the-bottom pant suit and he walks free as this entire episode gets quietly swept under the rug after the primaries and probably after the election.
. . . the woman striving to move from
former
first lady to the first female president was
eager to convey that she knew the traditional
lines of command and control in a crisis, even
if the events inside the storefront on North
Main Street were far short of a world
calamity.
It sort of makes you want to puke, but do you remember that "controlled-woman" in a time of crisis on 9/11? She faked a panic that Chelsea goes jogging in that area each day and she just had to know the status. Darling little Chel later contradicted Witch Hillary by saying she was riding the subway on her way to school (or something along that order) at the time. The papers never did try to straighten out the contradictory stories.
Along with taking charge while giving the
professionals free rein, Clinton offered up a
third dimension to her crisis character:
humanity. She said she felt "grave concern"
when she first heard the news of the
hostage-taking.
She can multi-task almost as well as Nancy Pelosi. You know what I think is the fourth dimension to her crisis character? Bullshitter. She claimed she was named after Sir Edmond Hillary who was the first to climb Mount Everest. Problem is, BroomLady was born before he made his famous climb. Hey, but what do facts have to do with bullshit? Stay with me until the end of the primaries and find out.
The Religion of Love and Peace
I am sure all of you realize how loving and peaceful the practitioners of Islam are, right?
Mob bay for teacher's death; By NICK
PARKER in Khartoum and THOMAS WHITAKER;
The Sun, Dec 1, 2007
Well, perhaps file this one under love thy neighbor.
TERRIFIED teddy bear row
teacher Gillian
Gibbons was being held in a secret jail last
night after a 10,000-strong armed mob
took to Sudan's streets screaming: "Kill
her, kill her."
What did she do? What did she do, Eye? Did she kill someone?
The Liverpool mum of two convicted of insulting Islam by calling the bear Mohammed was sneaked out of the capital Khartoum
hours after being jailed for 15 days.
Gosh, serious stuff there. She named her teddy bear Mohammed. I'd crack a joke about her losing her head over this, but this is what would happen if they get their hands on her.
Fanatics demanding her execution by firing squad streamed out of mosques after prayers grabbing machetes, knives and clubs.
The hate-filled protesters whipped into a
frenzy by religious leaders converged on
the presidential palace as it emerged Gillian
was an INNOCENT victim of a vindictive school
secretary.
You simply can't imagine what these people will do to the teddy bear if they catch him.
Hundreds of placard-waving extremists marched on the city's Unity High School where Gillian taught.
She was jailed even though the bear, used in
a project on animals, was named by her
PUPILS after one of their classmates.
Don't let the facts get in the way here as to who named the fluffy toy.
Yesterday Gillian described
her ordeal as a
"nightmare" in a conversation with her lawyer
Kamal Djizouri.
She told him: "It was my dream to come here
so why should I have come and then insulted
Islam I still can't believe this. Never in my life
would I have ever thought I would be accused
of deliberately insulting someone or
something.
I guess we can stop here. You get the picture of these loving people. See anything strange here? Liberals in the USA make art by putting elephant dung on the Virgin Mary and some idiot suspends an image of Jesus in a jar of urine and calls it "Piss Christ" and these guys have their "so-called" works of art heralded as freedom of expression.
And the students in Sudan name a teddy bear Mohammed and this sets off a riot? I am sure the prophet Mohammed is proud of the fact that his name is the most popular name selected by Muslim parents and, by the way, is the most popular name of newborns in the UK today. Think all these little Mohmmeds out there are the epitome of righteousness and bring honor to his name? I think not. Let's ask Yogi, Smokey and Barney as well as the 3 bears. They have a lot more credibility.
