That said, I don't think selling jewelry via craigslist is a brilliant idea-nor is it the fault of craigslist that it is used by unscrupulous persons (read: criminals).
Buyer beware.
But plugging three gun holes with your own fingers is TOUGH STUFF.
G-d bless the US Marines.
Can we stop calling these people "abortion doctors", like that is some kind of benign medical specialty akin to dermatology, or pediatrics?
These people are practitioners of death.
Thanks for reading my blog!
Comments here are deadly accurate.
Illinois has put gay lifestyle and the gay agenda before the best interest of children.
And shame on all the Catholic establishment types that supported "social justice" movements then and now.
VDH really crushes the crap out of the Affirmative Action/"Diversity" industry!
We like!
Read the comments, too-very astute.
The cat face is bad enough, but the Trout Pout is really revolting, too.
"Winning over hearts and minds" in Muslim countries = forced suicide for soldiers, or suicide by leftist, defeatist pyre.
So I baked some muffins, cleaned up, took the kids to the library and have been counting down the days to get back to work-2 business days.
YAY WORK! YAY MONDAY!
Luckily, there was a new Steyn clip from Fox news to watch, and it was about Sneaker Madness.
That therapist lady was really, really annoying-you can see for yourself.
Deneen Borelli made sense. The "therapist" person (probably a psychologist or a "doctor" of some ridiculous make work faux academic discipline like oppression studies or victimhood studies).
Apparently, the reason that people act like animals in pursuit of shoes is because their "ids" are out of control and they feel very bad about not getting stuff they want right now, and they have terrible anxiety issues!
Who are you going to believe? The therapist, or your own lying eyes?
We see in the video mobs of mostly black Americans fighting to get into a mall to buy running shoes.
This is absolutely pathetic.
I wonder how many of them would lineup that way for non-material things? Do they line up to get into Church? Into school? For their children to get into good schools?
Is there anything but running shoes that brings out the animal-like behaviour? Would we see the same ferociousness to fight for country? For their children?
I can't say that I am convinced.
Mark Steyn seems to be trying to hold in the giggles when "Dr." ShrinkyDink talks about anxiety.
And is it just me or are her teeth, fake nails and the crazy red shiny lipstick totally distracting in a bad, and not hot or stylish way?
She's almost a parody of a neurotic New York (Jewish?) "therapist", the neurotic counselor to the neurotic masses (for a fee).
The decline of a society can be defined both by what it is willing to concede and by what it is willing to fight for.
When it's running shoes, we're in deep, deep shit.
Inner city black "culture" kind of reminds me of the Palestinian "culture"-pretty much irredeemable. It can only be destroyed and rebuilt, or can be saved through Christianity or Judaism (less likely of course).
This is a fantastic idea for the free market.
No wonder the law industry is going crazy.
What a sad story, but one that ends with a beautiful baby to carry on her legacy.
JUST got a few minutes to sit around on my arse and fiddle with the computer.
It's that moment where you look at your child's face, or see what they have made, or how they hug you or how they smell, when it all comes together in this cosmic moment.
This morning, my youngest had a nightmare.
Oddly, it was right after another kid had climbed into bed with us, and I was really hoping for a sleep-in.
I went to the youngest's room and assured him that everything was OK, wiped away the tears, and crawled into his bed with my arms around him, looking at his beautiful face as his breathing slowly became rythmic again and he fell asleep.
The only thing you feel at those moments are pure love and what seems sometimes to be an unhuman amount of protective instinct-is it more animal? Or is that what being human is all about?
I thought about the overwhelming feeling of my own self being diminished in comparison with the lives of my children.
That is to say that I would give my own life, or my own organs to save my children.
Last night, I watched television show that chronicled the first three or so months of couples with newborn babies.
There was a gay couple. They were having trouble finding a banquet hall that would be hopsitable to them to hold a Brit Milah (circumsicion) ceremony.
Eventually they found one, in between b-roll of them moaning about how their families don't accept this and that.
They had purchased an egg from an Indian woman in India, and she was also their surrogate. They used a sperm from one of the men.
The child was therefore not halachically Jewish-but that mattered not to them.
When they were signing the contract for the ceremony at the hall, there was a place in the contract that was usually for "the mother" and "the father".
They laughed and said it should say "the father" and "the father" here.
The manager of the hall said-oh that's OK that's just where the mother usually signs.
The more petulent of the two men said "who needs a mother"?
More laughs all around.
Ironically, at the ceremony-the two men thanked their mothers most profusely for their support.
"Who needs a mother?"
Apparently they do, but their "son" does not. It was so disgusting.
My kids need their mother and their father.
This selfish couple created a life with a woman but stripped a child of the natural order of having a mother. The mother was disposable for the baby, but not for them. Hypocrites.
Selfish hypocrites.
It's something I don't want to be an "octopus" about ("one the one hand blah blah blah, but on the other hand blah blah blah-but on the other hand, blah blah blah").
The positive side of having a pseudonym and an anonymous blog is that it protects me from the wrath of the morons within the industry that I work in. And I have a pretty good situation right now.
Yes, I've had to battle the politically correct establishment and a gaggle of batshit crazy angry lesbaneses and feminazi jihad lovers, etc...but I've outlasted them.
The downside is that by being anonymous, I'm kind of wimping out on establishing my own bona fides for my more outrageous side and an actual career as a full time writer or pundit under my own name. I have lots of less outrageous accomplishments on my real name and my real CV.
I'd really like all of my on-line activities to converge and be out in the open-but I'm not sure it's a good time. Is there ever a good time?
DEEP THOUGHTS for Boxing Day.
Thinking about lots of other career issues as well.
Last week, I interviewed for a promotion.
Without giving too many details, it was a raise in money and title, but the location was a real downer-the banlieu of the Greater Toronto Area pretty much. It was really depressing.
Given my name and previous writings, I'm still shocked that I got an interview.
Anyway, the interview went pretty well, but I had a sense that the fifty-something Wonder Bread woman without make-up who never smiled didn't really love me.
The HR person had one of those rainbow "POSITIVE SPACE" triangles on her door. And I thought about how pathetic it is that these "progressive" wankers are so insecure about their convictions that they have to advertise them on their office doors.
No other group except annoying lefties feels the need to do this, and no other groups' politics is tolerated in this way.
It's so pathetic.
What happened to the days when you would discover someone's political convictions through conversation rather than by billboard?
Tacky, unsubtle and immature.
I was relieved when I got the call that I didn't get it.
All these things together have been making me think DEEP thoughts.
No earth changing moves right now, but I'm thinking. And think and plotting are the first steps toward making any changes.
"...have these faux-edgy lightweights ever actually stood up for any cause in their lives which requires an ounce of moral and intellectual courage or originality of insight? "
"I don't mean showing solidarity with Palestine or boldly declaring how fraudulent they find homeopathy or saying how ridiculous they find Christianity or being rude about Tories or supporting student protests or any of that predictable, career-safe, spray-on-credibility tedium.
"I mean actually, for once in their lives doing something that puts them out on a limb, that doesn't tick all the usual green-left-liberal trendy boxes,that runs the risk of them never getting invited back as one of the resident lefty chortlemeisters on Radio 4's News Quiz? Course not. "
"For all their pretence at out-there dangerousness, these guys are as safe and cosy and establishment as you could get. Truly, they are the veritable IKEA, the World Of Leather, the Mister Byrite of popular culture. I'm sure it pays the rent – but at what cost to their shrivelled souls."
Very gutsy, sad and inspiring at the same time.
"Have you ever read the Quran in English? I never did, I mean all my life I just recited the Quran in Arabic without understanding a single word until August of this year, when I purchased a copy of the English Quran and read the translation for the first time."
"Previously I had read some parts of it in English, but never the whole thing. But this year in August I read it from cover to cover, and then also read other references on the internet. Then I finally reached the conclusion that this book is the most evil thing on the face of this earth. It teaches nothing else except hatred and violence. I can no longer be a part of a cult which subjugates its followers, making them mere blind puppets with no mind of their own."
This person needs to apply for refugee status STAT. I wish I could be confident that America would take him-but given the Obama administration's deference to Islam, I'm not sure.
Maybe if Jason Kenney is reading today, Jason Kenney-PAGING JASON KENNEY, Harper Badass-check this out.
Mebbe Australia would let him in?
Anyway-hopefully this person will say safe.
I am so angry at this, disabled kids are treated like garbage a lot of the time.
Please circulate this link around-the school board contact information-telephone and addresses are here.
No e-mail addresses, which is very annoying. This is the Superintendent I believe.
If you find e-mail addresses, please post them in the comments or e-mail me.
These people are a disgrace, and embarrassment-a chillul Hashem (desecration of G-d's name).
Let's see if Bibi has enough balls to take them on. I doubt it.
Trying to do my best to post some interesting stuff-Jewish duty I suppose because all my Christian blogger friends are probably cutting into some turkey and stuff and having family dinners....but there's not a lot of interesting stuff on the intertoobies right now.
Celebrate Islamic scholarship!
Gotta give these guys a hand for scholarship!
Make your bed and lay in it.
Geez.
That is all.
Otherwise known as your Mohammad of the Day Story (liberated that phrase from Teh Steyn. Hey Mark, don't let it go to your head.
Bwahahahahahahahha!
Must read!!!
Great phrase. Consider that baby liberated.
Thankfully, we don't have to deal with it in Canada (yet), but in Israel-and particularly in Jerusalem, one is forced to listen to the nasal, guttural call before the sun comes up.
It's really annoying and pretty much impossible to ignore.
But that's the point. It's Islamic stealth noise pollution.
If I recall, it's been an issue in Michianistan. In Israel, it's now a matter of death threats.
Because they are liberals first, and just happened to have been born Jewish.
"He is also witty and humorous. Our overall impression was very different from the way he was known to the outside world."
She sat next to him at a synchronized dance festival, and turned to him dreamily in the middle and "told him she had the sense that in some other life, he was a "great director."
Guess who?
Click me, you know you want to....
Who was swooning?
To wit:
The existential question for liberalism becomes: If you so smart, how come you ain’t rich? "
"Who cares what an audience of soon-to-be-unemployed kids at the University of Wisconsin might think? With their heads stuffed with literary theory, gender studies, and environmental pseudo-science, they are barely qualified for the cubicle jobs they will obtain if they are lucky."
"There is some value to a B.A. of any kind; it teaches you to read, memorize, show up on time and repeat what you are told. College graduates, at least, can read the new job manual, which explains why their unemployment rate is much lower than the national average. But few of them will live well, and almost none up to their expectations."
The good news: Bwahahahaha:
"Liberalism, like cancer, is a self-liquidating malady. Eventually it kills the patient."
There is no moral centre in the UK. The spirits are broken, just like in Detroit.
There is no higher power, there is no reason to live morally, there is just drink and sexual depravity and decline.
My fellow bloggers sometimes send stuff around that makes me so sick that I feel like my head is going to explode.
But we can't ignore these stories. This one is particularly infuriating.
One of the events had other special needs families and parents, and one mom who is a Facebook "friend" came up to me and asked me if I went to The Meeting.
So, I looked at her and originally thought that I had missed something good! The Meeting!!! What if I had missed THE meeting??!?!
But then I realized OMG, yes I did miss The Meeting on purpose-as I always do? What was it? The support group for special needs families and parents.
[Insert standard 'would rather go to Palestinian haiku circle quip in here].
I said that I don't actually go to support groups because it's not really my style, but in fact someone had invited me one time and I stupidly agreed to go because the super squishy male social worker said it would be So Great For Me and that I would really Get A Lot Out of It.
So, I trudged out one dark winter night after supper to the meeting and sat beside a bunch of other special needs parents who were mentally, physically and emotionally in much worse shape than me. Frankly, we were not on the same intellectual plane either.
Anyway, one of the women was talking about her kid and his issues and her "sharing" session quickly deteriorated into a heart wrenching wailing about how hard life was, and her son's and how things sucked and were shit, etc...
I would have prefered that the earth swallow me whole, but I just sat there and tried to compose myself.
Then it was my turn to share! Gah!
So, I said hi my name is and my kid has [insert genetic disorder here] and you've probably never heard of it, neither did I...but then I launched into solutions.
Hey, chunky mom over there who is depressed-thought about exercising?
Hey, dad and mom over there who are getting dicked around by the home care agency, have you written to your MP, MPP and copied the local newspapers about it?
Hey wailing my-life-is-shit mom, have you put your kid into a respite program?
And then I had to leave. I said it's been really great sharing, but I have to fly.
I never, ever went back, although I heard from the social worker that everyone thought I was great.
I took it as a compliment, even though to be considered great by that particular beaten-to-a-pulp crowd does not actually make me feel like a superstar.
Getting back to last night-I said to the woman, no I don't do those groups, it make me feel like shit and depressed as hell.
She looked me and said:
Well then. OK.
And she walked away.
For a minute, I thought maybe I shouldn't have said anything and kept my yap trap closed. But, I've never been totally excellent at that when something really needs to be said.
I'm not very popular with the moms in those circles.
But then again, I wouldn't want to be part of any club that would have me as a member.
Well then. OK!
I take that to mean-you are a piece of shit, bitch.
These same people would have my (normal) kids in "support groups" as well, moaning about their genetic sibling 'misfortune'. Teaching them "coping" skills and to talk about how they FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL.
My kids don't go to support groups. Period.
They have a disabled brother, and that's the end of the story. He's ours for keeps.
The idea of raising children who need outside facilitators to whine about the alleged unfairness of their lives (and to pay for that) is abhorrent to me.
I'd throw myself off a cliff if I raised such narcissists.
That is all!
"In a time when freedom in the West is seriously threatened by Islamism and its Western allies and appeasers, it’s imperative that young people cherish their freedom, that they sincerely honor the memory of the men and women who fought and died for it, that they recognize the forces in the world today that threaten it, and that they be prepared to make an effort — and, yes, even make sacrifices — to preserve that freedom for future generations. In order for them to be able to do this, it is vital that they have before them the rare and remarkable example of individuals such as Vaclav Havel."
They live in a state of deep denial where the state is the best friend of the Jew, and can "protect" the Jew against bad words!
Not necessarily bad, genocidal Islamic terrorists-but bad words spoken by fringe white people in Butthole, Saskatchewan, or Fringeland, Ontario.
Since when are Jews in Canada "vulnerable"? We have money, we have our own schools, religious institutions, we give million dollar grants to institutes of higher education, Jews sit on public boards, in parliament and are CEOs of some of the biggest countries in the world. Canadian Jews are lawyers, doctors, film makers, and writers.
VULNERABLE!
Apparently, we are such vulnerable losers that non-Jews (the non-Nazi ones of course, without Black Swastika Magic Markers of DOOOOM) want to marry us and you know-have sex and make babies with us!
VULNERABLE!!!
"Section 13 tells us that we must find civil ways to prevent bigotry."
What a load of crap. This is the liberal totalitarian mindset-forcing their opinions down our throats using the law as a weapon. This is not "civil", this is not a hallmark of a civilized society. Only totalitarian regimes find "civil" remedies to condition their populations' thoughts. They cannot compete in the marketplace of ideas.
Similarly, this is why people-drek like Bernie and Kurz will not debate non-liberal Jews in any public format. Their ideas cannot compete. They don't have the "speech" (a.ka. balls) for it.
Unelected and uncontested, they continue to spout their boring tripe about words causing the Holocaust.
The Holocaust happened because Jews were systematically stripped of all of their civil rights-in a legal fashion-and nobody protested.
The Holocaust happened because Jews had no weapons and were in denial about the state of antisemitism amongst them and because they thought that by abandoning Jewish principles and religious practices-they were just like everyone else around them.
The Holocaust happened because Jews had no homeland to go to when they were being shoved out of yet another "civilized" country.
As Mark Steyn and others have pointed out, there were plenty of hate speech laws in the Weimer Republic and a fat lot of good that did for the Jews there.
The two Jewish loser men continue: "can it ever be “true” that victims of hate speech deserve hatred and contempt? Should someone be entitled to use a tribunal hearing to “prove” that, say African Canadians are inferior, that Jews are rapacious, or that all gays are pedophiles?
Yes, there are people who deserve hatred and contempt. And it's my bloody right to hate who I want and feel contemptuous toward whomever I chose.
And no fey liberal Jewish man-cretin is going to force his opinions on me.
If Bernie has a thing for men with motorcycles who gave him beer while he was campaigning in the provincial elections, that's his thing-and I won't try to legislate him out of that peculiar vexation no matter how nauseating it makes me feel.
These two guys are pathetic, and so is their cause. They are clinging to Section 13, which is basically dead!
It kind of reminds me of trying to wean a five year old boy off of breastfeeding, the kid has a full set of teeth and still wants the boob-and people all around are wincing at the spectacle.
Wean thyselves, pathetic loser Jews. Man up for chrisssssssake.
Bah!
UPDATE, and NOT UNRELATED:
Maybe Bernie would like to order a "mass grave motif" dining room set to match the oven door interior design that he brought back from Poland?
It's the demographics, stupid!
"Since 2008, the top seven baby boys’ names in Brussels were Mohammed, Adam, Rayan, Ayoub, Mehdi, Amine and Hamza. Mohammed is also the most popular name for baby boys in Belgium’s second-largest city, Antwerp, where an estimated 40% of elementary school children are Muslim."
Facts are so terribly inconvenient. But there they are.
Rest in Peace Vaclav Havel.
Just when you thought that the story couldn't get any worse, along come more details that frankly made the hair on my arms stand up and my fingers curl into a fist.
Mike McQueary has testified that he's not 100% a boy was raped, but he's sure he was molested.
A young boy was facing the wall, slapping sounds of human skin were heard by this disgusting man, and the horror of the following:"I know they saw me. They looked directly in my eye, both of them."
Think about that for a moment.
"I know they saw me. They looked directly in my eye, both of them."
This gorilla of a man witness the molestation of a young boy. He looks into the eye of the predator pedophile, and looks into the eye of the child being sexually assaulted. He sees them, they see him. Now, all three of them know that each other knows about the horror and the evil that is being committed.
And what does he decide to do? The hulking man leaves the evil: "Seeing that they were separated, I thought it was best that I leave the locker room," he explained.
The "best" that this disgusting excuse of a "man" could do was leave.
Leave a boy to be further violated. Leave the evil and try to put it out of his head.
"I know they saw me. They looked directly in my eye, both of them."
It was "good enough" to talk to the football coach about it, and "good enough" to talk to the Vice President of the university.
No stopping the assault, no protecting the naked, raped child in the shower. McQueary says what he did, precisely nothing, was "good enough".
"I know they saw me. They looked directly in my eye, both of them."
As a consequence of "good enough", McQueary and Paterno continue their illustrious college football careers, and the predator continued to seek new, fresh prey.
A little boy's life is ruined-he is sexually violated, betrayed first by the rapist and then by a gutless witness-a pathetic excuse of a man.
The second layer of violation and assault is that the young boy sees the man-the man looks back at him. Now they all know the dirty, evil secret. The boy knows that the man knows. And he knows the man has backed up and walked away.
"I know they saw me. They looked directly in my eye, both of them."
Betrayal of this nature is unforgivable. Shame on all those who are equally to blame in this disgusting episode.
Perhaps McQueary sleeps well at night, still clinging to the notion that what he did was "good enough".
"I know they saw me. They looked directly in my eye, both of them."
How all of these accomplices of evil live with themselves is another story entirely. 
I know it happens in many cultures and religions, but that's not the measure of righteousness ("we do it less").
It's evil no matter who does it.
This is Islamic culture. This is what the multicultists say is just as good as our culture.
This is a point that Caroline Glick has made-we don't need the left's favours to publish our opinions. We need not grovel for these asinine publications to throw us a few bread crumbs now and again.
In fact-the opposite is the case-we can publish our own things and create new outlets to get our opinions out to the general public.
The New York Times is in decline revenue-wise anyway, it's fiscal position finally and appropriately on a downhill slide, serendipitously matching its puerile, disgusting, liberal zealot, anti-western mindset.
It's the kind of music I would imagine would be good at a cycle fit class where the instructor yells MORE MORE FASTER PUMP PUMP PUMP-except that I don't do those classes because they really, really hurt your butt.
But I digress...here is a funny parody from Israel.
I'm posting it for no particular reason except for the fact that my youngest has been singing about his "shlomo" ("circumsiiiiiiiiiiized"-then he cracks up) and the other kids like the "bacon bacon bacon-NOOOOO" part.
My musical tastes are usually somewhat more sophisticated.
I know I am lucky to be so busy, it's not good or healthy to have too much time on one's hands.
Happy to be in a warm house, with lots of food and the sounds of little kids snoring softly beside me. Still working on many, many things relating to my special needs kid-schooling, camp, sleep disturbances-it never ends, but feeling blessed nonetheless.
Time to unwind.
Tomorrow is another day.
Now, don't get me wrong-I'm rather fond of mine, but it's not the subject of every day, every moment conversation for me and my girlfriends.
In fact, I would dump anyone as a friend if they even tried to talk about something as ridiculous.
This is so pathetic.
Is there no body part, no element of human sexuality that is still sacred?
Is there no shame left in this entire world?
This is the behaviour of spiritually empty people, trying to fill up their lives with meaningless decoration of their bodies, sexual adventures, bigger houses and faster cars.
It makes no difference if it is men or women living these empty lives.
I am surrounded at work with child adults, men and women approaching their thirties and forties and who are still not married, have no children, whose daily highlight is talking about video games and how much they drank the other night after work.
Empty, empty, empty.
It is a horror of the west and I want no part of this epidemic narcissism and immaturity.
Includes a really ringing endorsement of Stephen Harper. Ha ha...Plus there are some standard Steyn quips on gender studies, Europe, etc...
If you listen, you will also hear a full cut from the Registered Republican "Bing Crosby".
My Dad tried to swipe the CD from me just after I got it, saying "Hey-who is the babe???" He meant Jessica-not Mark BTW...
Poor Dad, I'm not willing to surrender it yet.
And so far, I agree with the Pundette, my favourite track is What Are You Doing New Year's Eve. It's sentimental, but not shmaltzy and just lovely.
Hat tip: BlazingCatFur.
I was on the subway and saw this advertisement for "free" dental care for kids under 17 in the City of Toronto.
"Free", as if nobody pays for it. Outrageous.
But check out the language/s. Coincidence?
This is SO well written and articulates so many things that I think conservatives feel instinctively, or articulate amongst themselves or in religious services.
It has so many good nuggets and is so sensible, you have to read the whole thing.
But here is one of my favourite parts:
"The old Western conception of suffering as a necessary and intrinsic part of the human condition is remote from the modern liberal’s belief that it is a freakish deviation from the rightful order of things. Nowhere is the callowness of the liberal philosophy more evident than in its tendency to look upon ever-larger swaths of human suffering as grievances from which people have a “right” to be exempt."
"The same superficiality is found in the liberal tendency to regard suffering as an exclusively material and physiological condition, one that can be overcome with exclusively material and physiological remedies."
"In reality, there is a residuum of suffering for which there is no material or physiological cure; such suffering is a spiritual or existential condition that can be overcome only through spiritual travail."
“Depression” is a condition modern liberalism has invented to justify modern man’s inability to accept such travail. A sufferer in spirit must seek a spiritual remedy; but persuading himself that he is merely “depressed,” the modern sufferer vainly seeks a pharmaceutical antidote, and will doubtless soon be discovered to have an inalienable right to one."
"Only he must remember to call his health-care professional if after swallowing the pill he has thoughts of violence, suicide, or mass murder."
"The Liberal West has, for decades, indulged itself in an orgy of self-flagellation. We have enjoyed comfort and security, but these, in the absence of gratitude and patriotism, cause insecurity. This attempted cure for insecurity can be seen in protestations of our worthlessness, and the indictment of private property."
"In abandonment of the state of Israel, the West reverts to pagan sacrifice, once again, making a burnt offering not of that which one possesses, but of that which is another's. As Realpolitik, the Liberal West's anti-Semitism can be understood as like Chamberlain's offering of Czechoslovakia to Hitler, a sop thrown to terrorism. On the level of conscience, it is a renewal of the debate on human sacrifice."

Amazing stuff.
The standard of women's "beauty" is really shocking nowadays with the advent of plastic injections and face lifts, etc..
Don't get me wrong-growing old is a bitch. But it's certainly my first choice (death being the other possibility).
I was watching a couple of seconds of "So You Think You Can Dance, Canada" on Sunday night, with the family and I actually almost could not look at the face of the hostess, Leah Miller.
Here is a gal who was truly hot and sexy, and she is still VERY young. But for some unknown reason, she has injected plastic into her face and mouth, and done some kind of horrible plastic surgery and the results are just unbearable to view.
Believe me-these dermatologists and plastic surgeons really prey on women with even the most minor age-related insecurities.
So what we get is a society full of women who look like one another, addicted to horrible injections and disfiguring themselves.
I'm sticking to my plan of trying to age as gracefully as possible, with good diet and exercise and a good attitude towards life.
"When you've dug yourself into a hole, so far down you can't see the sky any more, the answer is to dig faster. You never know, you might come out in China. This is the primaeval advice upon which Europe's politicians are now working: to dig their own grave, gratuitously deep."
OMG. This is what we have come to, Europeans would be better off digging a hole to China and embracing their new Chinese fiscal overlords.
This is an outstanding article by David Warren.
And this is just divine: Poor David Cameron, alas, "he had forgotten one of the great truths of politics: that hell hath no fury like a bureaucracy scorned".
Read it all.
Apparently, to "cure" Teh Ghey, you just have to introduce males to a hot female 1/7th their age.
It is ridiculous that the discussion even have to take place. Like DUH-you should not be able to obtain Canadian citizenship in a body bag!
Duh!
But if it has to be said-he said it.
I would suggest that the better solution is less babes-in-body-bags-immigrants, but whatever.
Socialized medicine means that "the government" owns your body. A blob of useless, unelected people can decide if your life is worth anything, how much of a dollar value it has and who should live and die.
So, there really are "death panels", they exist in every level of government in countries that have socialized medical system.
Behold: the NHS in the United Kingdom, refusing to fund a life-saving cancer drug for a military veteran and father of two because he lives in the wrong postal code.
Yes. You read that correctly. The wrong postal code.
Letters to the local NHS were unanswered.
Perhaps enough negative publicity will shame the NHS into funding this drug.
Socialized medicine is an encroachment on our personal liberties, on our very person-our bodies and our children's bodies. It is a frightening, Orwellian quagmire that has been re-branded to "free" healthcare.
Be careful where you get sick.
There are actually many other fearless Jewish warriors-I would add Melanie Phillips to that list and Caroline Glick, Barry Rubin also, and the unsung warriors of the IDF-foot soliders and all the undercover people, too.
Merry Christmas, ho ho ho!
People who are offended by Christmas should go back to wherever they came from.
I wonder what would hapen if these people were actually elected by their constituents. Also interesting to note that the women make less than the men in similar positions-another SHOCK!
While there are many people who think it's fantastict that Africans will work for peanuts in hotels in Eilat ("doing the work that Israelis won't do" if that sounds familiar...) they have also brought with them crime and the usual issues of when large groups of migrant men without women have lots of extra time on their hands.
Israel has been reluctant to deal with the issue for fear of being branded racist-but it's a ticking time bomb.
But really, I am not terribly sympathetic to people who inject stuff into themselves for anything but diabetes treatment.
It's kind of decadent idiocy to stuff plastic in lips, boobs, eyebrows, etc...in the hopes of staving off the ravishes of aging for a few years.
Right-so this story is NOT FUNNY. Because SOMEONE DIED.
But the cutline is funny:
The fake "Penis Practioner" has been put under arrest, for illegally performing a penis enhancement without a licence.
One can only imagine what one must do to obtain a legal license to peform a penis enhancement in New Jersey.
This is their idea of "fighting back" the Muslim invastion of France: eating pork and drinking wine.
Those would presumably the daughters who ended up somehow dead in the waters of the Kingston Locks, having expressed the endearing parental sentiment that him and his wife hope that the Devil "shit on their graves".
I suppose that sounds MUCH more sympathetic in Dari.
This testimony is kind of like the kid who kills his parents and weeps at his trial that things are so difficult for him, and people should really pity him because he is an orphan.
"They even suggested that I avoid going to the hospital."
She says the abuse was nothing new. The girls of Moroccan descent used to regularly address her with exclamations of contempt.

If you ever wanted a classic example of the nanny state and over-zealous bean counters in our lives, check out this European playground-before and after the regulators got to it.
Lock her up and throw away the keys!

Whatever.
There is going to be an event next month where a bunch of my idiot people discuss the pros and cons of state censorship ie: Section 13.
This event will be held in Toronto if you can stomach it.
The usual cast of liberal morons who just happen to have been born Jewish will argue that Jews are such vulnerable weenies that we need the big, bad state to protect us against white guys with magic markers who scribble swastikas on bathroom walls!
They strangely do not have anything to say about those without magic markers but with keffiyehs who scream Allahu Akbar/Jews We Are Going to F&ckig Kill Your Children in front of the Israeli consulat, etc...
Priorities!!
Censorship is not a Jewish virtue no matter what the Official Jews say.
The cast of characters who will be speaking at the fetid censorship fetish festival is VERY interesting to say the least: "Nathalie Des Rosiers, general counsel, Canadian Civil Liberties Association, will argue the case against Section 13 and Richard Warman, human rights lawyer, will argue the case for Section 13."
I'll keep you posted about the venue as I hear more details.
This review of the Thomas Sowell Reader (which I plan to pick up) has some great insights into the mind of one of the finest conservative intellectuals of our time.
Sowell's writing is clear and engaging and a joy to read.
Schoolchildren's tushies hardest hit.
You would think that when toilet paper begins to be rationed, that people MIGHT realize that there is an economic problem.
The T.P.F.S.I (Toilet Paper Fiscally Screwed Index) might be an excellent measure of prosperity in the future for Europe.
Thank goodness no bureaucrats have lost their jobs or anything. And thank goodness, Spain has Executive Bean Counters In Charge of Toilet Paper Calculations (I believe it's a Master's program-the TPC M.A Program).
From your genius government betters we learn that in order to save Europe's collective butt, toilet paper rationing is clearly the first step to healing. To wit:
"The latest edict issued by the region’s ministry of education instructs state schools to cut “excessive consumption” of toilet roll among pupils and limit the quota to a maximum of 25 metres per child per month."
We should just "give back" the entire country to the Palestinians because the demographics are SETTLED.
I wonder what the woman's name was, or her religion.
I bet she was one of those fucking Amish terrorists again. (Hat tip: Occassional Reader)
Dennis brings up some interesting points.
"A federal official told KING 5 that the couple likely took advantage of a loophole, which allows low-income individuals to receive financial assistance to help them pay their rent and move away from housing projects. However, the law does not require officials to verify what type of home the benefits recipient is living in."
Is it possible to rebuild such a society? I am not convinced it is.
I will not wear a white rose, or any other obnoxious paraphanalia that contributes to the atmosphere of denial about the real facts of this case.
A Muslim man went on a shooting rampage in Montreal, and no man in the room defended any of the women who were there.
Apparently, amongst the only men in North America who recognize evil and are willing and able to sacrifice their lives for others are elderly Israeli Holocaust survivors.
Such is life now, such is our society.
They continue to insist that it's no big deal that they are speaking in the language of trillions of debt, or that China may well own the European economy in a matter of months and that there just is no money left to run the country.
It's not a pretty scene.
This article, refreshingly, walks people through the reality of the situation.
Americans have to wean off big government "entitlement" programs-but no politician, no party has the guts to make people down that medicine. Americans-the ultimate lovers of freedom and individual responsibility and liberty, keep wanting to take a government spoonful of sugar with every day of life.
It's a mess. Here is a fact:
"To flourish, the welfare state requires favorable economics and demographics: rapid economic growth to pay for social benefits; and young populations to support the old. Both economics and demographics have moved adversely."
Another inconvenient fact:
"Until the financial crisis, the welfare state existed in a shaky equilibrium with sluggish economic growth. The crisis destroyed that equilibrium. Economic growth slowed. Debt -- already high -- rose. Government bonds once considered ultra-safe became risky."
And:
"What separates the United States and Europe is that (so far) we haven't suffered a backlash from bond markets."
And the final warning shot, very Steynian actually:
"The paradox is that the welfare state, designed to improve security and dampen social conflict, now looms as an engine for insecurity, conflict and disappointment. Facing the hard questions of finding a sustainable balance between individual protections and better economic growth, the Europeans have spent years dawdling. The parallel with our situation is all too obvious. "
OK, the second one is just a fantasy, but this is gonna be a very slippery slope.
HAHAHAHAHA! Just kidding.
My idiot people.
Somali Samosa Scholarships and now this.
2) GENERALLY MAKES YOU A BUM: So much of your time is spent figuring ways to blame the Jews that your productivity generally suffers. It’s hard to maintain a real job when you need to be putting so much effort into your latest anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and attending all of the anti-Jewish functions and demonstrations wherever you live (or posting on the internet or writing letter to the editor).
3) WE DON’T REALLY CARE: Most Jews don’t actually give a shit what you think. Sure, there are the liberal ones who think that they can either buy your love, or eat enough bacon cheeseburgers and calamari to prove they are just as goyish as you, but most of us don’t really care that you hate us. In fact, some of us find it wildly exciting and even moderately arousing that we can literally torment you just by existing. That is SO COOL.
3) HISTORY IS A RUTHLESSLY BITCHY MISTRESS, PERHAPS EVEN A JEWESS:
Generally speaking, the societies that have fucked over their Jews (murder, torture, forced conversions, pogroms, genocides, expulsions, etc..) have either been sucked into the toilet bowl of history, or not done particularly well in the post-Jew era. Societies that have been good to Jews have generally prospered. That’s not likely to change (*waves at Europe*).
4) WE DON’T NEED YOUR FAVORS ANYMORE:
Despite your best efforts, Israel and the Jews are not going to disappear. We have a country now, and an army and a navy and an air force and even a nuclear bomb. You can hate us as much as you want, but that’s really your problem, and not ours. We have outlasted the Greeks, the Romans, the Spanish Inquisition, Russian pogroms and the Nazis and we’ll outlast you, too. And that’s a promise, so fuck you.
