KA-CHING!

Evening. Naeem Kahn – Indian born American based designer. Oh, how clever of Lady M! “The dress is entirely handmade, requiring three weeks of work by 40 people, completed in Naeem Kahn’s family workshop in India.” So that’s another 40 jobs created or saved right there.

It’s amazing what happens when millions of Latinos flee the stinking shit holes they were unlucky enough to find themselves born into and grab on to the sides of trucks heading north to wind up in a slightly less stinking shit hole where they can collect free services and become parents of American citizens and therefore virtuall undeportable simply by having unprotected sex.

There’s only so many lawns that need to be cut and so much trash that needs to be picked up.  That young productive workforce is unskilled labor that quite frankly we can do without.  The only reason California gets away with it is because these people are illegal and they get paid under the table.  If California’s young, productive workforce were legal and then tried to compete with China’s young, productive, and massively cheaper workforce on unskilled labor such as manufacturing, they’d get their asses kicked.

When I teach on how to defend against mass shootings I tell my students that they have to get their head around shooting an attacker in the back. And turn the targets around for them to do so.Being in a prolonged gunfight with multiple attackers is not the same fight as with a home invader. You shooting a man in the back as he runs for the front door is at best manslaughter. Understanding that firing into the back of a gunman as he walks around executing people lying on the floor is called tactical advantage and justified. Just as it is for any S.W.A.T and HRT Sniper.

The same holds true for taking a hostage. We have ingrained into our heads that those who take hostages are the bad-guys and the hostage the victim. Always.This-is-not-true.

There is a point when fighting against and resisting multiple attackers that taking a hostage can save your life.

The statements of a Belgian man believed to be in a coma for 23 years, but recently discovered to be conscious, are poignant, but experts say they may not be his words at all.

Rom Houben’s account of his ordeal, repeated in scores of news stories since appearing Saturday in Der Spiegel, appears to be delivered with assistance from an aide who helps guide his finger to letters on a flat computer keyboard. Called “facilitated communication,” that technique has been widely discredited, and is not considered scientifically valid.

“If facilitated communication is part of this, and it appears to be, then I don’t trust it,” said Arthur Caplan, director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Bioethics. “I’m not saying the whole thing is a hoax, but somebody ought to be checking this in greater detail. Any time facilitated communication of any sort is involved, red flags fly.”

And so it was (and I’ve related this story before) that I was somewhat amused to hear my seatmate on the plane, a doctor from Medicins Sans Frontiere, confidently declare to me that he would be protected by humanitarian law when he reached Jolo.  I told him if he went much beyond town he’d be kidnapped before he could say Jacques Robinson, which he was. You really have to be well educated to believe that stuff about the “religion of peace”.  Both the victims and the suspects of the latest massacre reported in the New York Times are from Muslim warlord families.  If you’re ignorant, you’ll probably know that human folly and malice is confined to no religion. Man is a beast when he isn’t an angel

Google got into hot water recently by showing a picture of Michelle Obama modified to make her look like a chimpanzee in the Image Search returns.

From the Huffington Post:

Google has purchased online ads in an effort to explain to users why an offensive image of Michelle Obama is appearing, and is ranked so highly, in its Google Image search results.

Within minutes of arriving on campus, the migratory researchers approach the entrance of the Climate Research Unit and perform the secret credential dance, fiercely displaying their prominent curriculum vitae. This signals to the security drone that they can be trusted with the sacred electronic lanyard badge that will grant them entrance to the hive’s inner sanctum.  

During the upcoming research season, this hive alone will produce over 6 million metric tons of grant-sustaining climate data guano, but until recently little was known about the elusive genus of homo scientifica living inside. Where do they come from? What strange force draws them here year after year? In order to unravel the mystery, Iowahawk Geographic documentary filmmaker David Burge undertook a painstaking one-week project to finally capture the climate researchers in their native habitat.

Blacks hit hard by economy’s punch
34.5 percent of young African American men are unemployed

Liberals do this by calling her a c__t,  ogling her legs, demeaning her with names like “slutty flight attendant” and “Trailer Park Barbie,” and exposing her flesh on the cover of Newsweek.

And from Atlantic Magazine’s Andrew Sullivan: “Sarah Palin’s vagina is the font of all evil in the galaxy.”

The Left has declared war on Palin because she threatens their existence. Liberals need women dependent and scared so that women, like blacks, will vote Democrat. 

finally beheld what my eyes had refused to see: that leftists are Mr. and Ms. Misogyny. Neither the males nor the females care a whit about women.

Women are continually sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. If under radical Islam women are enshrouded and stoned and beheaded, so be it. 

My other epiphanies: those ponytailed guys were marching for abortion rights not because they cherished women’s reproductive freedom, but to keep women available for free and easy sex.  

And the eagerness for women to make good money? If women work hard, leftist men don’t have to.  

It’s been an accretion of small things, plus a number of larger things, forming a picture that is becoming more and more difficult to shut out. The Holder/Obama KSM decision was one of these larger things; polls indicate that “only 34 percent of Americans support the decision to try the al-Qaida leaders in a federal district court,” whereas “[s]ixty-four percent said they should be tried by a military commission, as the Bush administration planned to do.”

As I join in the shelf-stocking, putting the boxed mac’n’cheese, canned Dinty Moore beef stew, offbrand toilet paper, and packaged Ramen noodles in their respective places, I realize how these needy carbon-emitters—the church helps 100 families per week—wouldn’t make it for a second in the No Impact Experiment. Where’s the locally grown, unpackaged delights? Where’s the exotic farmer’s market daikon radishes and lovage and baby fennel and swiss chard? Where is all the fresh food that helps our environment heal and guilty upper-middle-class white people feel better about themselves when ordering it from their Community-Supported Agriculture cooperative?

Today is all about trash. I’m supposed to make a lot less of it. Therefore, to raise my trash consciousness, I collect all my trash from yesterday in a special bag and inventory it. Beavan is right: It’s shocking what you can learn about yourself from going through your own trash. Though I have no problem hopping in a car and driving 100 miles to go fishing on the spur of the moment, I’m not a total eco-Philistine. I’ve recycled paper and plastics for 15 years. While on the rivers that I love, I bark at fishermen who litter or who try to keep fish in catch-and-release waters. I willingly watched An Inconvenient Truth without holding it against doomsday prophet Gore that, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, his Nashville home burns 20 times the electricity of the average American household.
