KICKIN' AND SCREAMIN'...........
Dispensing truth in liberal doses...and...where on April 14, 2009 I went to bed a conservative gun owner but awoke the next morning, according to the DHS, a possible member of a right wing extremist group needing to be watched.

Why are Germans upset over critic of Islam?
I don’t know how many here have already found part of this story.
German banker writes book, mentions Jews in passing but nothing nasty or anti, in relation to peoples who share same genes. So of course the militants who look for things that are not politically correct rounded on him. But now the story gets more involved with his criticism of muslims and their never ending demands. Read on and see the link for more.

BERLIN – “Everyone’s against Sarrazin!” was the headline that Bild,Germany’s largest daily newspaper, chose for its Tuesday issue. Deutsche Bundesbank board member Thilo Sarrazin has sharply criticized both German Muslims for failing to embrace integration and Islam for its tendency to lead to terror.
Sarrazin, 65, a former Social Democratic finance commissioner for Berlin state (2002- 2009), has become, according to some observers, the subject of a feeding frenzy by the German media and political establishment, which is turning an unconventional thinker into a pariah.
“What did he say that was so sensational? You can look up all the facts. You can see – Germany supposedly loves people who think outside the box. But Germans don’t trust non-conformist opinions. That’s why this witch-hunt is happening,” the well-known German-Jewish journalist Henryk M. Broder said.
While Turkish and Islamic organizations have accused Sarrazin of racism and damaging Germany’s reputation abroad, the prominent German- Turkish sociologist and best-selling author Necla Kelek, who has defended Sarrazin, introduced him at a Berlin press conference on Monday attended by roughly 300 journalists, a number normally reserved for Chancellor Angela Merkel’s infrequent press appearances.
Kelek said Sarrazin addressed “bitter truths” in his new book and the chattering classes have judged it without reading it.
What first triggered the controversy surrounding the publication of the book, Germany Abolishes Itself, which appeared in bookstores on Monday, were Sarrazin’s comments about Islam and Jews.
Regarding Islam, Sarrazin said, “No other religion in Europe makes so many demands. No immigrant group other than Muslims is so strongly connected with claims on the welfare state and crime. No group emphasizes their differences so strongly in public, especially through women’s clothing. In no other religion is the transition to violence, dictatorship and terrorism so fluid.”

Now if this were April 1st …. but it isn’t. So this isn’t a joke.
And if it is, it isn’t very funny to some folks. How the heck did things come to this anyway? There’s talk ya know of an integrated European army. And the EU has their own flag and now their own foreign embassies. But this idea just will not fly. Least, I don’t see how it can.
Merge our proud Navy with the feeble French? Whoever dreamt that one up should walk the plank
By Guy Walters
Daily MailThere was something very instructive about the state of this country’s sea defences on the Royal Navy’s official website last night.
As you might imagine, the overall site looks very impressive, and there are lots of pictures of ships and Royal Marines and managerial buzz-phrases such as ‘Modern and Relevant’.
The irony would be funny if it weren’t so bitterly true. With reports that our Government is considering sharing aircraft carriers with the French, it seems that the concept of an independent Royal Navy is looking dead in the water.
The idea is so misconceived that the politician or Whitehall official responsible should be made to walk the plank off Invincible (that’s if she’s not stuck in a dry dock somewhere). For an island country such as ours with such a proud naval history, pooling military resources is not the same as building cross-Channel tunnels or supersonic airliners.
Although it might make sense to the bean counters, sharing as much as a coracle with the French flies in the face not just of military logistics, but of history too.Tragically, the suggestion seems to fit with the image of a new government that seems to possess an inadequate knowledge of the past. With a Prime Minister who erroneously said the United States had joined Britain to fight Nazism in 1940, it comes as no surprise that the coalition thinks it makes sense to start merging a vital component of our armed forces with the French.
After spending many years writing books about World War II, I’ve discovered the sad truth is that there has never been much maritime entente cordiale between the Royal Navy and the Marine Nationale, and it would be a fool who predicted that the two fleets would never exchange shells in the future.
The most recent conflagration occurred a mere 70 years ago in July 1940, when the British destroyed much of the French fleet which was moored off Algeria in order to stop it falling into German hands.

SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW SLANG?
Try the 17th Century variety:
The first dictionary of slang, out of print for 300 years, is being published by the Bodleian Library from a rare copy unearthed in its collections.
Originally entitled A New Dictionary of Terms, Ancient and Modern, of the Canting Crew, its aim was to educate the polite London classes in ‘canting’ – the language of thieves and ruffians – should they be unlucky enough to wander into the ‘wrong’ parts of town.
With over 4,000 entries, the dictionary contains many words which are now part of everyday parlance, such as ‘Chitchat’ and ‘Eyesore’ as well as a great many which have become obsolete, such as the delightful ‘Dandyprat’ and ‘Fizzle’. Remarkably, this landmark of English from 1699 was compiled and published anonymously, by an author who has left us only his initials – ‘B.E. Gent [gentleman]’.
Here are some examples:
Buffenapper, c. a Dog-stealer, that Trades in Setters, Hounds, Spaniels, Lap, and all sorts of Dogs, Selling them at a round Rate, and himself or Partner Stealing them away the first opportunity.
Bumfodder, what serves to wipe the Tail.
Bundletail, a short Fat or squat Lass.
Cackling-farts, c. Eggs.
Dandyprat, a little puny Fellow.
Farting-crackers, c. Breeches.
Fizzle, a little or low-sounding Fart.
Humptey-dumptey, Ale boild with Brandy.
Grumbletonians, Malecontents, out of Humour with the Government, for want of a Place, or having lost one.
Keeping Cully, one that Maintains a Mistress, and parts with his Money very generously to her.

‘Islamization’ of Paris a Warning to the West’
I found this bit in Europe News and they got it from the CBN. Christian Broadcasting Network. One problem, the video at CBN doesn’t work. The sound is all fuzz and buzz. I thought it was my puter’s sound system gone haywire, but tested and all other sound using programs work fine. Maybe the sound will work on your computer. ?
If so, let me know. Heres a link for that if interested. So it this article.

How easily (it seems to me) the west backs down and substitutes political correctness for the laws and customs of their own homelands.. don’t get me started ..
‘Islamization’ of Paris a Warning to the WestBy Dale Hurd
Friday in Paris. A hidden camera shows streets blocked by huge crowds of Muslim worshippers and enforced by a private security force. This is all illegal in France: the public worship, the blocked streets, and the private security. But the police have been ordered not to intervene.
It shows that even though some in the French government want to get tough with Muslims and ban the burqa, other parts of the French government continue to give Islam a privileged status.
An ordinary French citizen who has been watching the Islamization of Paris decided that the world needed to see what was happening to his city. He used a hidden camera to start posting videos on YouTube. His life has been threatened and so he uses the alias of “Maxime Lepante. ”
Lepante’s View
His camera shows that Muslims “are blocking the streets with barriers. They are praying on the ground. And the inhabitants of this district cannot leave their homes, nor go into their homes during those prayers.”
“The Muslims taking over those streets do not have any authorization. They do not go to the police headquarters, so it’s completely illegal,” he says.
The Muslims in the street have been granted unofficial rights that no Christian group is likely to get under France’s Laicite’, or secularism law.
“It says people have the right to share any belief they want, any religion,” Lepante explained. “But they have to practice at home or in the mosque, synagogues, churches and so on.”
Some say Muslims must pray in the street because they need a larger mosque. But Lepante has observed cars coming from other parts of Paris, and he believes it is a weekly display of growing Muslim power.
“They are coming there to show that they can take over some French streets to show that they can conquer a part of the French territory,” he said.
France’s Islamic Future?If France faces an Islamic future, a Russian author has already written about it. The novel is called “The Mosque of Notre Dame, 2048,” a bestseller in Russia, not in France.
French publisher Jean Robin said the French media ignored the book because it was politically incorrect.

Not everything in that chimney is Santa
Now this is bizarre. You may have seen it already but it’s new to me here. Wouldn’t you think someone with her background would be smarter? Jeesh.
Body of doctor found inside chimney after she tried to break into boyfriend’s home
By Mail Foreign Service
A doctor has died after she tried to sneak into her lover’s home by sliding down the chimney.
Dr Jacquelyn Kotarac’s decomposing body was discovered three days after she went missing in Bakersfield, California.
The 49-year-old had first tried to force entry to the house using a shovel, then she climbed a ladder to the roof, removed the chimney cap and slid feet first down the flue.
Authorities said her lover, William Moodie, had already left the house ‘to avoid a confrontation’.
Mr Moodie, 58, described their relationship as ‘on-again, off-again’, but refused to comment on the circumstances surrounding her death.
He said: ‘She made an unbelievable error in judgment and nobody understands why, and unfortunately she’s passed away.
‘She had her issues – she had her demons – but I never lost my respect for her.’
Mr Moodie, who runs an engineering consulting firm, said Dr Kotarac often provided service and medication free of charge to her patients.
Dr Kotarac apparently died in the chimney, but her body was not discovered until a house-sitter noticed a smell and fluids coming from the fireplace on Saturday.
The house-sitter and her son investigated with a torch and found Dr Kotarac’s body wedged around 2ft above the interior fireplace opening.
Firefighters spent five hours dismantling the chimney and flue from outside the home to extract her body.
Officials said her office staff reported her missing when she failed to show up for work. Her car and belongings remained near Mr Moodie’s house.
A cause of death has not been determined. Foul play is not suspected, although investigators are treating it as suspicious.

HOW TO CATCH PIGEONS
This is how it’s done!
More cities ought to look at doing this. And then giving the birds to the hungry. Three or four pigeons would make a nice stew.
NUTRALOAF: CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT?
This thing looks nasty:
It’s what’s fed to prisoners who don’t play nice in prison.
Now there are some that think doing so is “cruel and unusual” punishment.
there’s a pretty interesting debate going on right now as to whether Nutraloaf-and similar dishes at other correctional facilities-falls under “cruel and unusual punishment”. So far, Ruby writes, all the lawsuits brought against excessively bland food have failed.
Slate ran a Nutraloaf story a couple years ago, which gets into more detail about the legal side of the dish. Writer Arin Greenwood also tested out various Nutraloaf recipes-the details differ by state. That’s her Illinois-style Nutraloaf pictured above.
I say, “tough shit!” They’re lucky to get that. Me? I’d give them week-old break and water.
No More Fox News
For years when I went to the base medical clinic, the TV in the waiting room always had Fox News on. The past two times I’ve been to the clinic, CNN is now on the TV. Interesting, considering we all knows how the CinC feels about Fox News.
WHAT A COOL FISH!!
To think it lives a mile down, where there is no light.
These deep sea beauties have long extensions coming out of their fins (two from their pelvic fins, and one at the back from the caudal fin), such that they are able to “stand still” on the ocean floor. Here they can wait very patiently for prey to come wandering into their vicinity.
Presumably a great way to conserve energy, although it would be interesting to examine whether there is a reason for the stilts being a certain height (i.e. do the crustaceans that the Tripod Fish feed on, prefer to hover at a certain depth, or do currents close to the ground uplift material in a certain way?)
Britain releases 800 potential terrorists
Oh good. That makes us feel warm and safe …. Yes I realize the operative word here is, “potential.” You and I could in some circumstances be “potential” almost anything. I doubt we’d wanna be jailed. BUT … These folks are a lot different and I find it hard to believe they’d be suspect without very good cause. It’s a different world and the new age started long before 9/11.
One surprise here for those back home who may not know. The paper referred to here, The Guardian, is a VERY LEFT and very liberal paper.
So I was surprised they gave this report the coverage they did.
Britain releases 800 potential terrorists
Moscow Time 31 August 2010
By Sergei SaenkoBritain faces a potential “new wave” of home-grown terrorist attacks as a result of an escalating rate of radicalization of Muslims inside the prison system. A report to this effect was published by the Guardian.
The Guardian cites a report by Michael Clarke, the Director of the Royal United Services Institute, or RUSI, which says that up to 800 “potentially violent radicals” could be released from prisons in England and Wales over the next five to ten years and could be recruited for new terrorist attacks. The report raises particular concerns that only 23 of the 230 people convicted on terrorism or terrorism-related offences are currently serving life sentences. The rest were convicted of less serious charges and may be released fairly soon.
The RUSI report argues that the experience of Northern Ireland shows it is more likely that the majority of terror convicts remain committed to their causes. Since early this year Ulster has seen 33 terrorist attacks or attempts at terrorist attacks, whereas it reported only 22 such attacks throughout 2009. No wonder then that the British special services have been so keen on handling the escalation of violence in Northern Ireland, rather than fighting Islamic terrorism. This year MI5 has carried out only two so-called “priority” inquiries into a terrorist threat from Islamists.
Judging by the RUSI report, however, Britain’s special services and law enforcement agencies may have been too quick to shift the priority effort to the IRA leaving the struggle against Islamic radicalism and extremism behind. The author of the report, Michael Clarke, maintains that Muslim terrorists are likely to move away from large-scale, coordinated bombings, which needed considerable training and operational support, to the greater use of lone individuals carrying out smaller-scale random attacks against different targets. This means it will be much more difficult to prevent acts of terrorism

MORE PROOF OBAMA’S REGIME IS FULL OF SOCIALIST SHIITE BAGS AND RAT BASTARD COMMIES
This used to be the banner of the DOJ website:
This is the new one:
at the top of the page, is a rather interesting quote:
“The common law is the will of mankind, issuing from the life of the people.”
Catchy, huh? Just one tiny little (too small to be relevant obviously) point — the quote is from C. Wilfred Jenks, who in the 1930′s was a leading proponent of the “international law” movement, which had as its goal to impose a global common law and which backed ‘global workers’ rights.’
Call it Marxism, call it Progressivism, call it Socialism — under any of those names it definitely makes the DOJ look corrupt in their sleek, new black website with Marxist accessories to match.
