Finally! Anti-Semitic Sunflower Seeds!

But Islamophobia is the real problem, don'tcha know.

Brooklyn, NY - Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) and New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson today denounced the Shnayder family, owners of the value import store, Net Cost Market, for stocking and selling dozens of packages of roasted sunflower seeds featuring a caricature of a greedy-and-sinister-looking Jew, complete with skullcap, on the label. The Cyrillic letters on the left of the label read, “Shalom, from Israel,” while the right side employs a slang phrase meaning “spit them out everywhere,” alluding to “dirty Jews.”

Free Plaxico Burress

The Giants player may lose his freedom (3 1/2 yrs) and carreer for committing a "crime" in NYC that would be a wristslap in most other jurisdictions that respect the Bill of Rights. From the WSJ:

...In 40 states, including Connecticut, law-abiding adults are issued permits once they pass a fingerprint-based background check and a safety class. In New Jersey, carry permits are virtually never issued. In New York City, carry permits are issued, but to applicants with some form of political clout rather than on the basis of his or her need for protection.

The Second Amendment might not require New Jersey or New York City to issue as liberally as Connecticut does. But with a population of several million and only a few thousand (consisting mainly of politicians, retired police and celebrities) able to get permits, New York City's licensing process is almost certainly unconstitutional on a number of grounds,including sheer arbitrariness...

Having said that, Burress is an idiot. If you're going to spend $500.00 or so for a gun, then spring for a $50.00 holster. And don't ever carry a gun stuffed into your sweatpants!

Gov't Run Auto Bailout Likely

WASHINGTON (AP) - The government would order a major restructuring of Detroit's struggling Big Three auto companies in exchange for a multibillion-dollar bailout under a plan circulating in Congress

Great. Political hacks will now do for the Auto Industry what they did to housing and mortgages. And the same corrupt perpetrators, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, will be in charge again. These two should be in federal prison but Democrats think they're doing a fine job.

The bankruptcy courts are where every other failing company gets restructured, but Democrats can't resist the prospect of taking over a major industry with Soviet style central planning. Besides, the Democrats union buddies would see their fat, uncompetitive contracts disappear in a responsible bankruptcy plan, so taxpayers will now be on the hook for something private investors and lenders wont touch with a ten foot pole.

This will also be an opportunity for the Big Government socialists to micromanage industry and force the big three to produce enviro-friendly crap boxes that no one wants. It looks like the Eco-Marxist's Global Warming hoax may finally pay off. Remember the Yugo?

OIC: Reality is Bigotry

The Organisation of The Islamic Conference is once again turning logic on its head with an admonition that we shouldn't identify the Mumbai terrorists for what they are: Muslims.

In a press release laughably entitled "Islam, the religion of peace, tolerance and compassion" the OIC decries as "malicious" any attempt to acknowledge the linkage the terrorists themselves make with Islam:

"It is frustrating to see some circles, still, maliciously trying to establish conceptual link between such evil and wicked practices and Islam, the religion that condemns, scorns and outlaws them.

It is on the premise of this irrefutable fact that we, in the OIC, call upon all well-intentioned peoples of the world, not to give to these criminals any right to present Islam, a right that Islam itself denies them. Those who refer to the perpetrators, as acting on behalf of Islam, help them by offering them justification, anchor and premise that they don't have or deserve. On the other hand, the generalization of the guilt of a few aberrant misguided individuals, to engulf the adherents of a religion of 1.5 billion followers is an outrageous judgment and amounts to an illegal collective punishment on a global scale. Moreover, any attempt to implicate all Muslims in such a wicked and wanton acts goes contrary to the well established principles of international law."

The only people that are collectively punishing Muslims are Muslim terrorists. There have been over 12,000 Muslim terrorist attacks worldwide since 9/11 and these guys have the balls to tell us not to name the perpetrators what they name themselves?

That's like Germans getting angry for linking Nazis to Germany. Not all Muslims are terrorists, but almost all terrorists today are Muslims. But I shouldn't state that simple fact? GFY.

The membership of the OIC is populated by some of the most repressive, intolerant and brutal governments in the world, including but not limited to: Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran, Syria, Mali, Mauritania and Chad.

These regimes either outlaw religions other than Islam, condone slavery, support genocide, support Islamic terrorists themselves or all of the above plus a whole lot more crimes against humanity. And every one of these tyrants actively foment rabid hatred of Jews. Peace, tolerance and compassion my foot.

So these Islamo-Fascists can spare me the lectures on tolerance and go clean up the cesspool in their own backyards before criticising everyone Else's. This infidel wont be cowed by transparent attempts at intimidating me into silence.

Bailout Monitor: We don't know what we're doing

From The Herald Tribune:

The head of a new congressional panel set up to monitor the gigantic U.S. government bailout says the government still does not seem to have a coherent strategy for easing the financial crisis, despite the billions it has already spent in that effort.

Elizabeth Warren, the chairwoman of the oversight
panel, said in an interview Monday that the government instead seemed to be lurching from one tactic to the next without clarifying how each step fits into an overall plan.

"You can't just say, 'Credit isn't moving through the system,' " she said in her first public comments since being named to the panel. "You have to ask why."

Why indeed. Why does anyone with an ounce of sanity and common sense think that just throwing borrowed and stolen money wiily nilly at the largest and most complex economy in the world is going to have any predictable or desired effect?

And it's not as if we don't have dozens of examples of when this was tried and failed in the past and none where it succeeded.

YOU take care of MY kids

Here we have a 29 year old single mother that's begging the rest of us to pay for her irresponsibility.

FLINT, Michigan -- With 10 kids and no vehicle, Latrica Ryan is used to juggling.Going to a movie or out for dinner is a like plotting a major tactical undertaking.

Not that such outings happen that much.

"It would really be nice if I could take my kids where they needed to go, instead of having to find them a ride," Ryan said. "And when we do go somewhere, I have to pay four or five people (for gas) to get us all there.

"I have booster seats and car seats. It's a lot."Ryan, is a 29-year-old single stay-at-home mother of five sons and five daughters, who range in age from 2 months to 13 years.

Where are the fathers? No one knows or seems to care. Obviously I (we) are already paying for food stamps, subsidized housing, school breakfasts, lunch and just about everything else for this brood. Including her asinine MySpace page. But it's not enough.

If I had ten dogs in my my house that I couldn't take care of, you can bet your ass they would be taken away in about five minutes. Her story is prima facie evidence that she's an unfit mother and those kids should be taken from her.

This woman can have as many kids as she wants as long as she doesn't expect me to pay for them. What about my kids and their future? Can't I keep my money for them and not have to give it to useless slugs like Latrica Ryan?

At this point, it's clear she's an immature parasite that's raising ten more like her to be drags on society as well.
