Arab Spring: Dateline-Egypt
“I kept telling myself, ‘People get heart attacks, why don’t I get a heart attack and just die like them?’ ”

Horror.
Was just reading this piece from the Star about the Shafia honour murder trial.Apparently, "Shafie", the darling "liberal" Daddy and all around swell guy (hey-those girls did not have to wear the hijab-all was cool) found some condoms in one of the girls rooms.
Could this have been the straw that broke the camel's back? Did that find seal those poor girl's fate?
I also noticed a little ad at the side of the article.
UPDATE: "Nobody in our family swam."
More chilling testimony from the mother who can't remember the date of her three daughters' funerals.
To Serve and Protect?
LA police officer punches special needs woman in the face on a bus, then tries to intimidate army vet who video taped the incident.
Totally Crazy, Like Totally!
OMG.
How on earth did Michelle Obama get the reputation of being an angry, black woman?
Something is clearly wrong in America!
By the way, is the interview being conducted by Oprah's "best friend" (like evah evah) Gayle King? That Gayle King? Is she Lebanese?
Is there some kind of funky question-yer-gender serum in the water in Chicago or what? Seems to me like a lot of these Chicago people have "issues". Rahm is a ballet dancer (not that there is anythign wrong with that), Oprah and Gayle are "best friends", and Obama, according to Hill Buzz is a friend of Dorothy.
Anyway, do read the comments, too.
Funky Fatwa Time For Blazing Cat Fur
Otherwise known as: Is the York Regional Police Force full of morons, complicit dhimmis or weakling p&ssies?
York Regional Police need to come clean on this. If there any Canadian legal beagles reading this, your input would be much appreciated.
Celebrate Diversity and Immigrant Culture!
Wow.
Just wow. I am actually killing myself laughing.
Welcome to Australia! Celebrate new immigrants, and stuff...
"A university is teaching migrant students how to use a toilet correctly after complaints from cleaners that they were leaving them in an unhygienic state."
My grandparents were Polish Jewish peasants, but I am pretty damned sure nobody needed to teach them how to use a toilet.
Where are these masses of non-toilet trained immigrants coming from, and WHY???
Seriously, why import masses of new immigrants that don't even have a really basic level of personal hygiene? And if they don't know how to manage their exits hygienically, how did they get into university? Or is that the real problem? That generally, western universities are filled with crap?
Hat tip: akak.
How the Media Makes Us Stupid: Klavan
I don't think it's really how the media makes us stupid. It's more like how the stupid lefties in the media think we are stupid and continue to attempt to brainwash us.
But this is a good point:"Our media — so many of them, like Stephanopoulos, Democrats working for Democrats for the good of the Democrats — consistently confuse principle with prejudice and process with purpose. They then attempt to obscure the confusion with hot button issues that arouse emotions rather than thoughts. They ask about abortion when they should be asking about the behavior of the courts. They ask about contraception when they should be asking about the reach of the federal government. They know we have strong feelings on these specific issues and hope those strong feelings might induce us to forget the terrible long-term price we pay for scuttling the Constitution in order to get our way short-term."
"It doesn’t have to be like this. There are questions that need to be asked and journalists could easily ask them. The fact that they don’t speaks to their purposes. They make us stupid because stupid is how they want us."
The thing is-we have to continue to make our own independent sources of news and not wait, or beg for lefty publications and web sites to put our opinions on the table.
There are many so-called "conservatives"-who are not really "conservative"-they are just not mental lefties, who are so desperate to be loved by the mainstream media that they abandon most (if not all) conservative ideas. When they get their fawning recognition from the popular kids they feel vindicated and loved and it's a real brain rush and they want more. It's pretty pathetic, but that's what we've got.
Could It Be? Could it possibly be?
Da JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS?!?!?!
Thank you. This has been an Iranian vocational counseling message brought to you by the Mossad.
Best Medical Treatment in the UK Evah Evah!!
Wow. Dude!!
This should be the standard operating procedure for the NHS in the UK.
You don't want to get sick in the UK-but if you do-heaven forbid, have a cancerous tumour, do try to cough it out yourself rather than get "treatment" in the UK.

"I am a free man and I can (and will) say whatever I want."
A very good one:
"For every person punished or attacked, hundreds are intimidated and scores of other people gain political advantage. In contrast, what we must do is to refuse to bow down and refuse to abandon the standards and principles that created the most liberated and prosperous societies for the largest proportion of people in human history."
Oh Geeeeezzzz
Have you ever sat beside someone and you can tell right away that they like curry or very garlicky, spicey foods, and/or don't realize how cheap water is in Canada, in the middle of July for example, on a subway?
If yes, then you will know that certain foods simply exude through the pores.
It is perfectly legitimate to have sessions on hygiene and lining up if these products are not regularly used in another country or practiced as custom.
Apparently, that is now racist.
"Compensation"
For the inconsolable in-compensatable.
The horror of eugenics. The pain. The betrayal.
The insulting amount. The story gets worse and worse.
Bwahahaha! Hebrew Slang!
This is really funny.
It's obviously funnier for people who know some Hebrew, but it's pretty current and I have used some of these (with my terrible Hebrew accent, which makes it hilariously spazzy) but some are new to me.

Globe & Mail Gets it Totally Wrong AGAIN
Canada's NY Times wannabe newspaper gets it wrong again, as usual.
The story here is not really that there are helpless babies who need opiate detoxification right when they are born.
The Globe does do a good job at painting a pathetic picture of new babies on morphine drips.
The real story here is how the government of Ontario has made methadone so readily available for free to drug addicts and how profitable it is for pharmacists to dispense methadone kool-aid to drug addicts.
It's very big business.
The real story is also how many doctors are prescribing opiates to patients and getting them addicted to drugs.
The real story is why they continue to renew prescriptions of opiates to pregnant women!
This story makes me sick.
Pity the children, I do-but this is a much bigger story than little micro-druggie infants.
Is there any record of the record-breaking opiate prescribing doctors in Ontario? Is there any record of how much pharmacies and pharmacists stand to make by providing the methadone kool-aid to drug addicts under the guise of "harm reduction"?
This is a billion dollar industry.
The real story is in the comments.
The methadone problem in Ontario is a scam and the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ontario should see this story not as a success in treating little opiate babies, but rather as a story that reflects their failure to police opiate happy doctors, over-prescribing powerful narcotics without any repercussion or any ability to police the use and redistribution of prescriptions and the drugs themselves.

New York Magazine Sneers at Perfectly Reasonable Student Who Did Not Want to Do "Academic" Work on Occupy
The sneers are just dripping off the page.
Did you hear about this? A disgrace.
Just look at the lede:
"Sara Ackerman, an unhinged New York University undergraduate student, completely lost it over the course of seven huge e-mails to professors and deans protesting an assigned ethnography of Zuccotti Park."
First of all, the fact that in our moronic, decadent, decaying society, that one could get "academic" credit for slumming among the moronic, drug-infused unwashed masses is pathetic.
It makes higher education look like a complete joke-which for the most part-it is.
The end sneer: "Clearly, no matter what student health says, this person is having some sort of a mental breakdown and needs help."
Presumably she needs to go to re-education training at the Office of Brainwashing and Equity and Diversity and Stuff.
It appears that Ackerman was threatened, but blame the victim is par for the course
Her main crime appears to be the use of underlining and bold, to try to make people "listen" via e-mail.
Read this story and see what you think.
I think the United States of America is screwed and that Sara Ackerman is a ballsy broad for standing up to the charade of "academic" pretenses in her university.

Mark Steyn: The Dude Gets It
The left hates disabled people, disabled children, the old the weak and the vulnerable. They have a one-size fits all cure for it: death.
Mark Steyn understands this-and gets to the heart of the despicable attack on a parent who faced the greatest loss of all.
This part choked me up: "he's entirely incapable of imagining how it must feel for a parent to experience within the same day both new life and death – or even to understand that the inability to imagine being in that situation ought to prompt a little circumspection."
I understand that feeling, I have been there. And I have seen one of my children hover between life and death on more than one occasion.
"Santorum's respect for all life, including even the smallest bleakest meanest two-hour life, speaks well for him, especially in comparison with his fellow Pennsylvanian, the accused mass murderer Kermit Gosnell, an industrial-scale abortionist at a Philadelphia charnel house who plunged scissors into the spinal cords of healthy delivered babies. Few of Gosnell's employees seemed to find anything "weird" about that: Indeed, they helped him out by tossing their remains in jars and bags piled up in freezers and cupboards. Much less crazy than taking 'em home and holding a funeral, right?"
There is Team Life and Team Death. Steyn understands this. We always need to know what team people are on-this is the big picture question that defines individuals and societies.

Dalrymple and I Agree
The UK is royally and totally and utterly screwed.What passes for "fun" in the UK is getting drunk-that's it. There is no spirituality or joy, just booze and the more the better.
"The undertow of aggression and violence in what passes for social life in Britain (a country that not so long ago was remarkable for its low level of public disorder) is so obvious that only those with their eyes shut could miss it. "
"Nowadays, wherever the British gather socially, you get the feeling that things could get nasty at any moment. The young British get drunk en masse, they scream and shout en masse, they make fools of themselves en masse, and they become aggressive and paranoid en masse.To wit:
"Indeed, it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between the sound of young British people enjoying themselves and the sound of young British people committing murder in the street."
In Which I Must Agree With Heather Mallick
Addiction is a profitable, rehab-financing word for “habit.”
That is a very astute observation. It used to be that people just had bad habits, and of course they were addicted to the habits, but it's quite a different prism indeed to say that someone has an amorphous "addiction" which does indeed open the doors not only to rehab, but alleviates fault and turns the habit into a medical condition-rather than a bad choice of habit that was entered into voluntarily at some stage.
By the way, the people that I know who have kicked their habits-beaten addictions are some of the the strongest people that I have ever met and I respect them with my heart and soul.
"The church is famous for its “addiction” to laxity in this field. They have had years since his arrest to deal with an employee who, by chance, oversaw a church sex abuse settlement in his own Antigonish diocese."
"Lahey’s defence lawyer said the poor man, now being sued, is wearing a scarlet letter, but one of the prosecutors, David Elhadad, said acidly that the victims of child pornography bear “marks that are invisible to the naked eye but are of psychological harm, knowing that their photographed and videotaped sexual encounters are out there for eternity. They are the true victims.”
