Omar al Faruq, al-Qaeda and the CIA

Now that Omar al-Faruq's jail break fun is over, I'll confess. I made up the whole business about al-Faruq being a US double agent from the get-go. I just wanted to help neutralize the Mohammedan fanatic. Details here.

Mohammed's head may roll in Germany

After all, we are not French

For once a European leader has spoken out against the cowardly trend toward increasing accommodation of Mohammedan fanatics called Dhimmitude in the blogs. I don't call it Dhimmitude, I call it capitulation. As you may have heard, a German production of Mozart's opera, Idomeneo, which depicts Mohammed's severed head, was being cancelled in for fear the Mohammedans would raise a fuss.

Now it appears that the show may go on, rolling Prophet's head and all, if German Chancellor Angela Merkel has anything to say about it.

The Deutsche Oper announced on Tuesday that it had scratched the Mozart opera "Idomeneo" from its programme this season because one scene – the severed head of the prophet Mohammed rolling on to the stage – risked triggering an "incalculable security risk" for the theatre.

It feared the kind of violent outbursts that erupted earlier this month when the Pope offended Muslims in a speech which quoted a medieval writer's view of Islam as "evil and inhuman."
---
Germany's conservative Chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday led political and arts world uproar at the scrapping of a Mozart opera that features the head of the prophet Mohammed rolling across the stage.

The performances were cancelled amid fears the scene could trigger violence among the nation’s Muslim community.

But Mrs Merkel denounced "self-censorship out of fear" as unacceptable, reflecting a mood of national indignation that was not limited to the arts set but cut right across all social lines.

Chancellor Merkel has shown that having a backbone, while currently out of fashion in Europe, hasn't been entirely abandoned. The old feeder hopes this is a sign that the fashion might be changing.

Omar al-Faruq reported dead

The al-Qaeda terrorist who 'escaped' from US custody last year, Omar Al-Faruq (aka: al-Farouk, al-Farouq, al-Farook, al-Faruk, Aw-Fook and sometimes Mahmoud bin Ahmad Assegaf) has reportedly been shot dead by British troops in Basra, Iraq. The old feeder and others have long opined that Mr. Faruq had been turned by the CIA before being allowed to escape from Bagram Prison in Afghanistan. And now, along with his wife, I think he may not be dead.

While in custody, al-Faruq informed on his Jemaah Islamiya contacts in Indonesia. This unpleasant man has played a dangerous game of double-cross espionage for a year now, informing the US and other members of the western intelligence community of personnel and planning within al-Qaeda. Such work usually comes to a bad end, and the Feeder has been expecting al-Faruq's death at the hands of the Mohammedan fanatics.

Perhaps, having served a year as a double agent, the Brits have arranged to bring al-Faruq in from the cold, as it were. If they did kill him, it was simply another form of payback common in the edgy business of double-cross: lead in lieu of gold.

As I said before, this story is still festering developing.

Venezuela's Chavez Says: Bush Will Kill Me

Chavez in Tehran - 2004 - Kleek

Hugo Chavez, the oily communist dictator of Venezuela, has taken the Plains Feeder's prediction that he isn't long for this world to heart. From the Australian:

Hugo Chavez accused his American counterpart George W. Bush overnight of ordering his assassination for calling the US leader the devil during his speech at the United Nations this week.

I think he worries that President Bush might have some kind of powerful ju-ju he could be using to kill him. I've heard that Hugo himself has been said to use the services of witch doctors from the Venezuelan hinterlands. In the same story discussing Chavez' assassination concerns, the Australian story goes on to say:

Mr Chavez again showed a copy of Hegemony or Survival overnight, a book by US academic Noam Chomsky that he had first held up during his address to the UN assembly.

He said he had to wash the book "with holy water because I put it in the same place that the devil put his papers."

Say your unholy prayers, Hugo. Your days are numbered.

Chavez in Monkey Suit

Ziva at Babalu Blog pointed me to this very excellent description of Hugo's UN antics from Humberto Fontova: "The organ grinder [fidel castro] gets laid up, the leash comes off and in no time the monkey [Hugo] makes a mess of things." Fontova's analysis has an historical perspective which the MSM avoids like poison.

Bad Spinach and Biological Warfare

Rare sighting of non-Mexican spinach picker

The tainted spinach mini-crisis that sickened scores of folks, (and may have killed a few) all across America, seems to have subsided. I wonder if this incident wasn't a test to determine how quickly a biological warfare agent could be disseminated by terrorists. What if it had been a more lethal agent than E-Coli?

Who would be conducting such a test? Your guess is as good as mine. Our government has tested biologicals on unwitting Americans in the past. The UN is interested. Our Mohammedan fanatic enemies certainly have a motive to know how effectively a nasty biological could be distributed across our populace. Even if they didn't actually cause this E. Coli outbreak, you can be sure they are watching the way the spinach problem is playing out.

Be aware. Be careful.
---
Addendum: The second annual International Symposium on Agroterrorism convened this week in Kansas City, Missouri. I'm confident that the spinach vector will be discussed.

Autumnal Equinox

Nebra Skydisk

An important day since folks began looking at the sky. It is at 23:03 today here in Nebraska.

See Barbra Streisand's Mams with X-Ray Gogs

Note: If you scroll down, you will see the X-Ray Gogs version
of this offensive (even to a Pit Bull) picture.

Voice like "buttah", but...

Brainless songstress Barbra Streisand is really taking a drubbing over her looks of late. I saw the scary picture above on the Drudge Report today, linked to this Daily Mail story about Barbra having left her brassiere at home.

Maybe it is just the Daily Mail that has it in for Babs. On the same page with the horror shot above, the Mail links to this picture of Mrs. Brolin having a bad hair day. It looks worse than that to me.

Bad Hair Day for Babs

Some Plains Feeder readers will recall this post about the development of a camera that can see through clothing. The old feeder just couldn't resist applying some of that new technology to give you cats who are still reading this nauseating post a real thrill:

Barbra, as seen with X-Ray Gogs

I have to go wash my eyes out with lye.

Say your prayers, Hugo

Hugo Chavez prays to his god

Hugo Chavez is not long for this world. Aside from his being one of the best arguments for the US to resume assassinating dangerous troublemakers, the Plains Feeder predicts that the love affair between Marxist Chavez and the Mohammedan fanatics will come to a bloody end. The Jihad has no use for Hugo except as a stooge. Commie atheists will not be welcome in the New Caliphate. Hugo's pork chop eating days are numbered.

Senator 'Wimp' Harkin

You'd think Hugo Chavez 'owned' NYC and the United Nations, too, if you could stand to listen to his "devil" speech. Democrats from Rangel to Pelosi at least made a show of standing up to the horrible dictator.

Not so with Iowa's Senator Harkin, one of my senators so to speak, who actually defended Chavez. I hope Harkin's opponent in the next senatorial race remembers this and reminds Iowa voters of it a great many times. Ed at State 29 is so angry he wonders when Tom's plane will crash.
--
Update: Senator Harkin's office released a statement that clarifies his views. He said that Chavez "doesn't have the right" to come here and call our president a devil even though he understands why the good dictator must be frustrated with Bush.

A good sign from the northern prairies

From Small Dead Animals comes word that Canadian military recruitment is up 250% from a year ago in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. As these areas apparently have relatively low unemployment the motive seems to be patriotism and the opportunity to serve in Afghanistan.

Anthrax Letters

Michelle Malkin asks, "Have you forgotten?" I haven't forgotten, but I imagine the cats at the FBI wish they could. This crime should have been solved, but it is my opinion that the then firmly PC FBI insisted upon a theory of the case that took pains to exclude Mohammedan Jihadists and their supporters from the list of likely perpetrators.

Nebraska Exhibitionist Melissa Midwest: Back in the News

Melissa 'Hayseed' Harrington

Nebraska's own self-proclaimed exhibitionist, Melissa Harrington, has appeared in the news again. This time the news story is only peripheral to her propensity for public nudity. The proprietor of Lincoln, Nebraska's Cheerleaders sports bar where Ms. Harrington got busted for hosting a wet t-shirt contest whilst topless herself, is trying to make a come-back. Seems the place went out of business before the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission could finish taking their license away for displaying Melissa's talents. From KETV's web site:

[John] Caporale managed Cheerleaders in Lincoln last spring when Melissa Harrington, known as Melissa Midwest, hosted a wet T-shirt contest topless. The 24-year-old Lincoln woman was convicted of public nudity has been sentenced to six months' probation. Cheerleaders was cited for a liquor-law violation, but went out of business before the state commission could take any action.

Whatever happens to Cheerleaders Bar is, no doubt, of little interest to Plains Feeder readers, but the story provides a convenient excuse to publish another photo of Nebraska wildlife. You can visit Melissa's 'not safe for work' naughty web sites here.

World Peace is at hand!

Magic White Buffalo Calf

Good news! World peace and harmony are just around the corner. An omen has appeared in the form of a white buffalo calf born on a farm in Wisconsin. It will be the third white buffalo born there in recent years. From the AP via WRAL:

According to a version of the legend, a white buffalo, disguised as a woman wearing white hides, appeared to two men. One treated her with respect, and the other didn't. She turned the disrespectful man into a pile of bones, and gave the respectful one a pipe and taught his people rituals and music. She transformed into a female white buffalo calf and promised to return again.

That this latest birth is a male doesn't make it any less significant in American Indian prophecies, which say that such an animal will reunite all the races of man and restore balance to the world, Hand said. He said the buffalo's coat will change from white to black, red and yellow, the colors of the various races of man, before turning brown again.

Maybe the third time is the charm. Wait until the liberal wackos hear about this. Many of them are New Agers who are enthralled by Red Indian mumbo-jumbo. Perhaps they will tout it as another reason to disengage from the war on Mohammedan fanatics.

Update: That didn't take very long. Read Big Chief MySpace's take on the magic white buffalo's birth .

Feminists Foil Top Mohammedans

Grand Mosque

Many have wondered why the Women's Lib movement hasn't taken up sides against the Mohammedan fanatic enemies of the West. The answer is that these so-called feminists hate George Bush and Capitalist America so much they will bite their tongues while their sisters are stuffed into bags and worse. Their logic: Bush's enemy must be our friend.

Imagine my surprise when I saw this story: Ban on Women at Mecca Met with Resistance; Officials Reconsider. The organizers of the Big Haj Pilgrimage had come up with a plan that included shunting the pilgrims' females to the back of the church, as it were. That was what it took to get the Women's Libbers pissed off. How chauvinist pig of these Mohammedan men to prevent their women from participating in the Religion of Peace and Burqas.
---
I wonder what the officials are reconsidering? Whether or not women have souls?

Grain Farmers - always something to complain about

Big Crop - Big Picker

America's grain farmers, God bless 'em, figure that any crop news is bad news. The latest crop estimates indicate a bigger than expected harvest this year. We suffered through some nasty drought conditions, but late rains proved to be a spoiler.

A spoiler, you ask? You might think a good harvest prediction would make farmers happy. not so. The good news about the coming harvest is really bad news for many Nebraska grain farmers. This seems counter intuitive, but much of farming in today's market is counter-intuitive. The government has so many fingers in the agricultural pie that the 'invisible hand' of Adam Smith can't move prices freely. In this case, the better the crop, the less government drought assistance will be forthcoming from Washington.

Says the Lincoln Journal: "The outlook for the nation’s corn and soybean crops is good enough it may hurt the effort in Congress to spend billions of dollars in drought aid." Is it any wonder that grain farmers are always crying about imminent ruin? Nothing in the farm economy makes sense unless you are Mike Johanns. Federal government choices, (socialist economic choices, if you ask me) made during and after the Great Depression have condemned the farmer to cursing a bumper crop and hoping to profit from disaster.

Let the state run the world and the world will be stood on its head in short order. Marxist thought stinks on ice.

The Path to 9/11 and The Path to Victory

Some Artistic License Was Taken

I watched the first and second parts of the ABC/Disney docudrama The Path to 9/11 all at once. President Bush's great speech included. I'll have to admit that I got interested in the show once I got over being hyped up by all the indignant "pull it off the air - its all lies" furor that preceded the airing. It was about average, as docudramas go; I have seen better re-enactments of historical scenarios on the History Channel. I can't figure why Clinton, Albright, et al. were raising such a fuss about it.

John Fund at the WSJ thought ABC gave in too much, but I think what I saw was indictment enough of the real failures of government leading up to 9/11. I lived through those times. I remember the events. You don't have to show me a stained dress or Clinton's wagging finger as he says "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" or include scenes from Bill Clinton's impeachment to remind me of the distractions the disreputable liar faced back then. I rate the show a solid 4 out of 10, and I grade TV shows on the curve.

Just what we needed to hear

The President's speech was tremendous. He sounded like a wartime President, radiating resolve to win the war of the new century. A world wide war that we must win. He made his war policy as clear as he ever has in a speech. If you don't get it after listening to last night's speech, listen to it again.

Not everyone liked President Bush's speech. of course the The politically desperate Democrat party hacks didn't like it. Those who would put partisan politics ahead of national security in time of war didn't like it. The same crowd, for the most part, that helped bring us the attacks of 9/11 and didn't like the TV show either. Senator Edward 'Teddy' Kennedy said the President, "should be ashamed" for making the speech on 9/11.

Senator Kennedy's Shameful Neck Brace

Funny how those with the most to be ashamed of are quickest to scrape their fingers at others. Ted Kennedy hasn't the standing to tell anyone that they should be ashamed.

Who would have thought?

A new study discovers a 'direct link' between air travel, and the spread of the flu bug, see: The Washington Times. I hope the American taxpayers didn't have to shell out too much money to have Dr. William Schaffner at Vanderbilt University, "who advises the government on flu issues" arrive at this brilliant conclusion.

Remember

More "never forget" WTC jumpers from M. Malkin here.

Bill Clinton's 9/11

Then I would have...

What a despicable character. Here is a cat caught lying under oath expecting everyone to believe his lies now. He has no sense of shame. I think we should be more likely to believe the upcoming (?) ABC show, The Path to 9/11, on the facts leading up to the WTC and Pentagon attacks than this miserable sinverguenza.
---
Update: (Monday 9/11/06) ABC, to their credit, didn't "pull" the show, as Sandy Berger had insisted. I didn't feel like watching it last night. I taped it and watched it this morning , so I didn't have to watch the network TV but-monkeys' grudging coverage of the various memorial observances. it was watchable, but not great TV. I'll reserve judgment on The Path to 9/11 until I have seen it all.

Rush Limbaugh suggested today that ABC/Disney should quickly release a DVD box set with the show as it aired on TV last night, together with the uncut preview that was provided to A-list media types and others. Rush claims the producers distributed 900 copies, and said that if they don't release it will certainly be pirated on the internets.

Update: Read about the minor redactions made to The Path to 9/11, and this telling comment from 9/11 Commissioner John Lehman, "The Republicans have lived with Michael Moore and Oliver Stone and most of Hollywood as a fact of life."

Kick Fidel Castro while he is down

Remember when Dick Nixon said the press wouldn't have him to kick around anymore? Saying it didn't make it so for Tricky Dick; he went on to be President and got kicked around a great deal more.

You must know that Fidel Castro has been ill with bleeding ulcers or some such, and that I and everyone else who isn't a communist have been wishing him the worst. All I can do from here is to revile him, to kick him at a distance though this blog, in the hopes that the bad vibes generated thereby will help kill him.

I can sense that soon, very soon, we wont have the murdering communist Cuban dictator to kick around anymore. So we must kick him now! Here is how you can help:

Val Prieto of Babalu blog started a caption contest a few days ago for this picture. The old feeder likes to photoshop a bit, and one of my efforts follows:

Or maybe: "Gusano proofing. I'll want that option"

What the Democrats don't want you to see

Update: Bill Clinton takes the Cake!
DEMANDS that "Path to 9/11" be pulled from the air.

Former President Clinton reveals himself for the would-be tyrant that he is. A simple cover-up, an evidence destroying burglary, and years of undeserved coddling by the Old Media aren't enough for the cheese-ball that is William Jefferson Clinton. He has the temerity to demand that a television show be pulled off the air. What the hell is Clinton so afraid of? That he would take such an obviously tyrannical stance against free speech as to call for prior restraint of publication. Something Sandy Berger forgot to steal?

American Constitutional law almost universally prohibits the prior restraint of free speech! The proper remedy is to sue for money damages if you feel you have been slandered. After the publication, which is an element of the tort of defamation. These cats that want to censor American TV programs must be shown that they cannot destroy the free marketplace of ideas that America so uniquely enjoys. This ain't Russia.

Censored!

Why don't the Democrats just make their own fake-umentary about the prelude to the 9/11 attack? They could get Dan Rather and Mary Mapes to help them out.
---
Thanks to Michelle Malkin for the Viewer Discretion is Advised slate. Previous comments here.
---
Update: The Clintonistas are pulling out all the stops, seeking to get the whole ABC Path to 9/11 show cancelled. I should think they would be doubly embarrassed. Once for bobbling their early dealings with al-Qaeda and again for this blatant call for censorship. Even if the show was incorrect in every single aspect, it is still just a damn TV show. Folks don't think everything they see on TV is gospel. Especially not after having seen Dan Rather exposed.

The Democrats must think Americans aren't smart enough to distinguish between a TV documentary and whatever they believe is ultimately real. Such a patronizing attitude toward the vulgar mob is about par for the party that thinks Negroes can't operate voting machines.

Debra Lafave: "Matt Lauer wanted it and I gave it to him"

Debra LaFave on House Arrest

You remember Debra LaFave. She is the naughty school teacher convicted of seducing a 14 year male pupil, and, after some courtroom finagling was only sentenced to house arrest. My guess was she was 'too good looking' for jail. Well, Debra is back in the news, thanks to Matt Lauer, the Today Show host with no Katie Couric type ambitions. How did a chump like Matt Lauer get an interview with her? Like she said about her 14 year old victim, "He wanted it, and I gave it to him."

Miss LaFave was granted an exception to the otherwise onerous terms of her house arrest to go to New York City for an interview with Mr. Hairplugs himself. NBC even had to get a judge's permission for her to stay in a nice hotel in NYC, since she is officially a registered sex offender.

I can't imagine the hell she must be going through.
---
Update: Read about the Lauer interview.
---
Update: I have been watching the Lauer interview "Crossing the Line"on Dateline and Ms. Lafave seems well schooled in all the latest pop-psychology explanations, (wah wah childhood, etc.) besides the obvious one. She is just too dang naughty to be trying to teach school. It was bound to come to something bad.
---
Addendum: Read the book Gorgeous Disaster by Debra's ex-husband Owen Lafave, which one reviewer says, "pushes the frontier of lurid to new continents". Debra Lafave herself can't profit financially from her story; a 'Son of Sam Law' applies. I guess 'profit' doesn't include expense-paid trips to the big city for glitzy TV interviews. Too bad Dave Berkowitz, the real Son of Sam murderer, can't get an interview with Matt. I bet he'd enjoy the trip.

Attempted Democrat Censorship of 'Path' to 9/11: Not Political

Google News isn't biased. You can tell because the attempted censorship of ABC/Disney's TV miniseries "The Path to 9/11" is classified by the huge search engine's news service as Entertainment News. Nope, the issue isn't Political News or World News or US News, but only a matter of what folks like to watch on TV.

The story has nothing to do with the Democrat party's desire to cover up the Clinton administration's mistakes and blunders with historical revisionism. Clearly Americans shouldn't be allowed to watch a TV show that might put some perspective on how the bloody splatters in the picture below ended up on the sidewalks of New York. If you have the stomach, click the picture to watch them jump:

The End for some 9/11 victims

Wisconsin: looking more perverted every day

Milwaukee

First it was the little necrophiliacs who wanted to dig up a corpse for sex in rural Wisconsin. Today the old feeder, looking for more details on that creepy crime, came upon another repulsive sex perversion story out of Milwaukee: 11-Year-Old Milwaukee Girl Gang-Raped By 15 To 20.

A 40 year old man and his 16 year old niece organized a gang rape of an 11 year old girl, apparently inviting all their low-life friends and neighbors to join in. The 16 year old niece allegedly orchestrated the variety of sex acts inflicted upon the child by the other participants. Her uncle also took part in the rape.

This goes beyond child molestation. This isn't just another screwed-up deviant preying upon kids. This story and the one about the grave robbers suggest that something besides the cheese is rotten in Wisconsin: the people.

Watch your back

Allah's Evil Work

The religion of peace is at it again. A new public relations package from al-Qaeda not only shows Osama bin-Laden with some of the 9/11 suicide murderers, but also exhorts Mohammedans to start killing Americans forthwith.

Seen on Matt Drudge's page first: Al-Jazeera broadcasts Al-Qaeda video preparing 9/11 attacks. In the video, Osama visits with some of the thugs he sent to kill Americans five years ago. Also in the PR pack was an audio tape of Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, allegedly the Big Kebab of Iraq's al-Qaeda since we killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Here is a bit of his peaceful message:

Oh followers of (Taliban leader) Mullah Mohammed Omar, oh sons of (Al-Qaeda leader) Osama bin Laden, oh disciples of (slain Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader) Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi ... I urge each of you to kill at least one American within a period not exceeding 15 days,' Muhajer said."

Like I said, watch your back. Its only for a couple of weeks.

Banning the Cruise in Omaha

"No Cruising" signs are on the table

The cruise is back. I don't mean the grotesque mockery of a family consisting of Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and their Suri with a fringe on top currently clogging the whole world's news. And I'm not talking about the homos looping through Omaha's city parks, checking the men's rooms for toilet queens. The cruise in the news here in Omaha is of the old-fashioned, scoop the loop variety.

City councils have been trying to figure out how to stop young folks from this popular pastime. What teen-ager with a car at his or her disposal wouldn't like to take a ride on a warm summer night. In Omaha, you can either head out of town and cruise the cornfield zone, or drive around one of the popular cruising loops downtown. While the former affords an relatively private opportunity for sexual groping, pot smoking and beer drinking, you have to cruise in town to see and be seen by your peers.

The laws devised by the old, dried-up spoilsports in city governments to restrict cruising are not only reviled by the kids, but are almost universally unconstitutional. This is America, and we like to think we are free to come and go as we please. That doesn't stop the government. Spurred on by businesscats grown tired of all that unprofitable, messy traffic, municipal legislators have invented many schemes to make the youngsters stop having fun. Nobody cares if they pass constitutional muster or not. Maybe the ACLU cares , but...

On Dodge Street there was such a cruising problem about 15 years ago. The solution then was to ticket cars that passed a checkpoint more than three times in a given time period. Clearly unconstitutional, but who is going to take this one to the Supreme Court? I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive. I could have been ticketed for going back to my house repeatedly to make sure the coffeee pot was unplugged!

That is what will likely happen now. Another unconstitutional knee-jerk reaction to kids being kids and parents not being parents. These new Omaha cruisers along north 90th Street between Maple and Fort will have the same feelings of being discriminated against that the kids in Ames, Iowa had when that city passed a law against "being about without purpose during the hours of darkness" back in the 1960's. Then the irrepressible kids will simply find a new place to cruise. And another crappy, ill-conceived, unconstitutional law will sit on the books for what is left of eternity.

I know about the Ames "aimlessness" law because I was busted repeatedly for violating it. Trying to walk off a heartburn or simply getting some night air weren't deemed sufficient purposes.

Newest Youth Fad: Gang Necrophilia

Little Necros

A gang of three young men were caught in Wisconsin trying to dig up a recently deceased 20 year old lady with the admitted purpose of having sex with the corpse. They even bought condoms on the way to the cemetery.

There have always been cats who fancied sex with the dead: John Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgway and Dennis Rader to name a few necrophiliacs that have been caught recently. As far as we know, most necros like to work alone, with a few notable exceptions like the cousins Angelo Buono and Kenneth Bianchi, who teamed up as the Hillside Stranglers.

I wonder if these pimply 20 year olds, twins Nicholas and Alexander Grunke, and their pal Dustin Radke knew their intended victim in life. At least these boys won't have to languish in jail for life or risk execution. Unlike the other necros mentioned above, they didn't murder their love interest.

Maybe they were trying to decide if a career in mortuary science would suit them.

Bush's Fine Speech

Effective Interrogation Tool

President George W. Bush is just now finishing a fine speech that throws the problem of how the US can deal with Islamo-Fascists we have captured back to the Congress. He essentially singled out terror judge Anna Diggs Taylor as part of a disturbing trend that would cripple our ability to win our death struggle with the Mohammedan fanatics. To win this war, we must be able to catch the enemy before they can strike, as well as to interrogate them effectively after we catch them.

"We are fighting for our way of life!", President Bush concluded. I hope the liberal judges get with the war effort and Congress doesn't delay the legislation he needs to fight the war effectively.

Peak Oil Theory: Out the Window

Chicxulub - non-biological oil producer?

A huge oil discovery has been made by Chevron in the Gulf of Mexico. Just goes to show that Peak Oil theorists don't know Jack.

Chevron Corp. and its partners say they have tapped into an area that may contain as much as 15 billion barrels of oil in the ultradeep waters of the Gulf of Mexico — the kind of massive reservoir of crude that the industry dubs an elephant discovery.

I hope the US doesn't miss the boat in developing this great wealth of energy. It should be ours, all ours.

Do you suppose it could be asteroid oil?

The Price of Gasoline: Under Control

Bush Administration's Secret Gasoline Refinery

I have heard a raft of theories and speculation purporting to explain the way gasoline prices have fallen recently. Most of them, like inscrutable Chinese demand fluctuations, the effects of beginners in the commodity markets getting cold feet, and other such analyses are unconvincing. Instead, we should look for the obvious answer.

St Wendeler, at Another Rovian Conspiracy, naturally finds this inescapably logical explanation: It is the Next Rovian Conspiracy. Karl Rove and the Bush Administration are behind this new cheap gasoline policy because they, "control everything... from the international oil conspiracy to the strength and timing of hurricanes in the Gulf."

I'll bet this is where George Bush and his oily cronies are using the oil they've gotten so far by spilling our youth's blood for it in Iraq. Just in time for the midterm elections. That darn Karl Rove, he's a regular Nick Machiavelli.

Immigrant Background Terrorists Caught in Denmark

Danish Justice Minister Lene Espersen

Danish authorities have arrested nine cats with immigrant backgrounds. The immigrant backgrounders were caught making bombs and plotting terror attacks. Danish Justice Minister Lene Espersen, pictured above, toasts her success with a Carlsberg. Lene said in a press conference following the big bust, "These Immigrant Background terrorist cells don't stand a chance in Denmark, not with our feared, yet politically correct investigators." This just goes to show that terrorists can be stopped without making offensive references to their race, national origin, creed or fanatical religious associations.

You don't suppose these Danish terrs were Islamofascists of middle eastern origin, do you? Nah! They were probably just regular Danes with immigrant backgrounds. It was in the news. You only see that kind of non-PC speculation in the conservative blogs.

Sausage and waffles

Too much sausage and waffles is reputed to be bad for most people but it worked pretty good for California's George Johnson until he died at the age of 112.

Why isn't Fidel Castro dead yet?

Castro and Chavez Pray

Reuters has a new video out that purports to show Cuban dictator and communist murderer Fidel Castro looking much better than he did a few weeks ago when everyone was rooting for his bleeding ulcers. Maybe he's feeling better and maybe he isn't. You can't trust Reuters, of course.

Some folks believe Fidel's apparent sanguinity is due to the ministrations of Hugo Chavez' Venezuelan jungle ju-ju witch doctors. Don't believe it. The Plains Feeder has managed to get copies of the original, un-photoshopped still from the Reuters video. It is reproduced above and shows the infirm tyrant Castro studying the Bible as his friend Hugo prays fervently.

Click here to see the photoshopped Reuters version as seen on the Drudge Report today.

The Enduring Mystery of Fitzmas

Patrick J. Fitzgerald

Maybe this means nothing, but what do I know? From the horrid New York Times: New Questions About Inquiry in C.I.A. Leak.

An enduring mystery of the C.I.A. leak case has been solved in recent days, but with a new twist: Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the prosecutor, knew the identity of the leaker from his very first day in the special counsel’s chair, but kept the inquiry open for nearly two more years before indicting I. Lewis Libby Jr., Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, on obstruction charges.

Now, the question of whether Mr. Fitzgerald properly exercised his prosecutorial discretion in continuing to pursue possible wrongdoing in the case has become the subject of rich debate on editorial pages and in legal and political circles.

Richard L. Armitage, the former deputy secretary of state, first told the authorities in October 2003 that he had been the primary source for the July 14, 2003, column by Robert D. Novak that identified Valerie Wilson as a C.I.A. operative and set off the leak investigation.

Mr. Fitzgerald’s decision to prolong the inquiry once he took over as special prosecutor in December 2003 had significant political and legal consequences. The inquiry seriously embarrassed and distracted the Bush White House for nearly two years and resulted in five felony charges against Mr. Libby, even as Mr. Fitzgerald decided not to charge Mr. Armitage or anyone else with crimes related to the leak itself.

Moreover, Mr. Fitzgerald’s effort to find out who besides Mr. Armitage had spoken to reporters provoked a fierce battle over whether reporters could withhold the identities of their sources from prosecutors and resulted in one reporter, Judith Miller, then of The New York Times, spending 85 days in jail before agreeing to testify to a grand jury.

Now they need to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate Mr. Fitzgerald. That would teach him to promise a fat Fitzmas to the "Frog March Rove and Impeach Bush" thugs, and then fail to deliver.

Obrador like Al Gore?

Does this ugly refusal to accept the outcome of Mexico's recent election by sore loser Obrador and his gang remind anyone besides the old feeder of Al Gore and the Democrat party after the 2006 2000 US Presidential election?

$500m for Palestinians - because they have been so nice

Jan Egeland - there is only UN way - Appeasement

Go figure: the UN has cowed a group of mysterious donors to pay off the nasty Palestinians in Gaza. Al-Jazeera reports that they have pledged $500 million in aid to the Hamas terrorist loving Palestinians in Gaza.

Evidently UN sissy Jan Egeland frightened a group of 'International Donors' into coughing up for the murdering Hamassholes by telling them that, “Gaza is a ticking time bomb,” because the wicked Israelis had the temerity to shoot back at the uncivilized Islamic fascists.

Is there any doubt which side the UN has chosen to join in the war against Mohammedan fanatics?

Omaha billionaire Warren Buffett marries mistress

Rich Casanova Buffett on a Cheap DQ Date

Warren Buffett, America's second richest man, has married his live-in mistress of nearly 30 years, Astrid Menks, in a civil ceremony in Omaha, Nebraska this past Wednesday. As you may recall, Buffett's first wife, Susan Thompson, passed away from a stroke about two years ago. Buffett married Susan in 1952 and they raised 3 children. They stayed married until death did them part. But Warren has been living with Astrid openly here in Omaha since 1977. The rich old dog kept both women happy longer than most men can keep one woman.

Old Mrs. Buffet: Susan - R.I.P.

Folks in Omaha, Nebraska like to tell stories about Warren Buffett, their resident billionaire, investment genius, and genuine oddball. Because he is generally considered an asset to the community, most of the stories are good-natured, and don't portray Mr. Buffett in a negative light. His holding company's annual shareholders' meeting is a big deal that adds big bucks to Omaha merchants' tills. We think he is eccentric. His enormous philanthropy is about all that gets him in the news. With a few minor exceptions.

The stories about his being an avowed atheist, a progressive lefty Democrat who says that Americans don't pay enough taxes, and his shacking up with Astrid while continuing his public marriage to Susan, have been generally glossed over locally. I guess Warren's daily doings really aren't any of our business, except that the cat is so rich he stands out. His political leanings, like those of any rich cat, are another matter. Buffet could easily be even more vexing than nut case George Soros. Warren's father, Howard, was a staunch Republican who served four terms in the US House of Representatives. I guess Warren was a true '50's rebel.

In the late 70's, Warren's wife Susan was itching to start a career as a cabaret singer. This would require leaving Omaha, notably free of cabarets. She knew Warren wouldn't want to follow her as she sought to 'find herself'. So Susan introduced Warren to Latvian immigrant Astrid Menks, a waitress at Omaha's French Cafe. (Yes we have one; be sure to ask for ketchup with whatever you order.) Susan then left Warren in Astrid's care to live in San Francisco to pursue her dreams. She aspired not only to cabaret singing, but also became a zealous pro-abortion activist as a result of her neo-Malthusian fears of over-population.

New Mrs. Buffet: Astrid

By all reports, Susan and Astrid were friends and were supportive of Warren's polyamory. Even such of their adult kids as we hear about seem happy with the way the ménage à trois was managed. Daughter Susie hosted her father and Astrid's wedding at her Omaha home.

Warren waited a respectable time before formalizing his relationship with Astrid. He didn't sneak around with Astrid behind Susan's back. It's pretty hard to make him out a cad. I don't agree with Warren Buffett's political views, but that isn't saying much. I hardly agree with anyone on politics. I have to admire his way with the ladies.

There already is speculation that Warren Buffett's recent announcement that he was giving all his money to charity amounts to a gigantic prenuptial arrangement. At least Mr. Buffett didn't shame Nebraska like another Warren has recently done to the LDS (Mormon) Church.

Barack Obama - Warren Buffet connection. It goes 'way back
