Ethnic Arab Muslims are genocidally slaughtering black African Muslims, Christians, and animists in Darfur; Muslims are blowing each other up when they pray in mosques in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Pakistan, Indonesia; Muslim men are shooting down and beheading their own intellectuals and dissidents in unimaginable numbers. According to one compelling source, such numbers far outpace anything the combined American and Israeli forces have done in the last 50 years.
The estimated number of Third World Muslim violent deaths at the hands of other Third World Muslims, country by country, vastly exceeds that of Third World Muslim deaths in so-called “white imperial” wars.

Meet the Democratic Party, Up Close and Personal
Meet the Democratic Party, Up Close and Personal Power Line
You might think that the union member is a low-life from the gutter, but the remarkable thing is that in all probability, he makes more money than you do:
In 2007, average annual full-time wages for 15,000 workers at 29 West Coast ports topped $136,000, according to the Pacific Maritime Association, which negotiates and administers contracts between ports and the ILWU.
Longshoremen earned an average of more than $125,000, clerks more than $145,000 and foremen more than $200,000.
Workers also get benefits packages worth $50,000 per year, according to the association’s 2007 report.
This is the ugly face of union privilege and entitlement that the Obama administration is determined to preserve.

West Michigan Symphony plans 'great experiment' this weekend
West Michigan Symphony plans 'great experiment' this weekend MLive.com
For the first time in recent history, the West Michigan Symphony will kick off its season with a rousing pops concert that Scott Speck hopes will have the audience dancing in the aisles and singing along.
I've always wondered why they've not done this yet.
Seems like a winner!

Disney The Path to 9/11 Hillary Clinton The Daily Caller
“The Path to 9/11,” first aired on ABC in 2006, portrayed President Bill Clinton’s administration as ignoring warnings and signs that Osama bin Laden and al Qaida were planning a major attack on the United States — a finding supported by The 9/11 Commission Report.
But since 2006 Disney CEO Bob Iger has repeatedly refused to rebroadcast it, or to sell the rights to other broadcasters.

Those difficult decisions, as noted here and here, have involved raising the Value-Added Tax rate, seeking out tax-evaders, selling off state-owned assets, firing 20,000 government workers and cutting the salaries of others, and imposing a one-time “solidarity contribution” tax

For fear of missing one, I won’t attempt to name everyone in Hollywood who did the right thing, who openly supported our military and refused to participate in the resume-enhancing undermining of our country.
Within the context of the whole of the entertainment business, however, they make up a heartbreakingly short list.
But you know who are and we know who you are and we thank you.
The rest of you can burn in Hell

Got your attention?
Good.
Because it seems that unless a story has negative implications for the tea party no one (even Fox News) is going to make a stink about it.

Panties are not optional in this year’s Miss Universe pageant.
After making several appearances in tiny skirts without panties, Colombian Miss Universe contestant, Catalina Robayo has been told she must wear underwear during the contest.
It's the culture, stupid!

Let’s Roll Over - Mark Steyn - National Review Online
And so we commemorate an act of war as a “tragic event,” and we retreat to equivocation, cultural self-loathing, and utterly fraudulent misrepresentation about the events of the day.
In the weeks after 9/11, Americans were enjoined to ask, “Why do they hate us?”
A better question is: “Why do they despise us?”
And the quickest way to figure out the answer is to visit the Peace Quilt and the Wish Tree, the Crescent of Embrace and the Hole of Bureaucratic Inertia.

PBS alters transcript to hide Obama gaffe
Blog: PBS alters transcript to hide Obama gaffe
At one point Mr. Obama made a major gaffe; he identified Abraham Lincoln as the founder of the Republican Party.
Lincoln did not join the Republicans until 1856, over two years after the party was founded.
The first Republican convention was held in Ripon, Wisconsin in 1854.
Such a gaffe would have brought huge amounts of ridicule and derision on George W. Bush, but in the case of Obama the media yawned.
Actually, they did more than yawn; government-funded PBS has altered the transcript of the President's speech, removing the offending comment.

This is the face of one of Obama’s core constituencies.
This is what you voted for when you voted for “hope and change.”
He can’t even curse creatively.

KUHNER: Obama and the lunatic left - Washington Times
Any reasonable person would change course - but not Mr. Obama.
He is a big-government liberal who worships at the altar of statism.
The fact that we are broke and can no longer afford his borrow-and-spend policies means nothing.
Like all fanatics, he is disconnected from reality

Taxpayers deserve more information about public employee contracts
Viewpoint: Taxpayers deserve more information about public employee contracts MLive.com
Some recent union contract specifics might be of interest to those who will be paying for the contracts:
A union contract approved by the county board last February included an increase of four paid days off that brought the total paid days off for senior employees to 58. Yes, that's 58 paid days off for the year.
You might note that we have 52 weeks in a year.
Or that 58 days is almost 3 months of work days.

Wind Farms, Renewable Portfolio Standard
Wind Farms, Renewable Portfolio Standard [Mackinac Center]
The Michigan Legislature created the inevitable land use conflicts by passing a requirement that at least 10 percent of electricity come from renewable sources.
The renewable energy standard was bad policy when it was passed and Michigan residents are just starting to experience the negative consequences of the legislation.
Michigan legislators should repeal the renewable energy standard
Classic bad government.
Create the problem.
Demonize those who were hurt.
Make the problem worse.
Everyone loses except those with tight political connections.
Gimme a break!

Obama blows another billion on green fantasies
KEENE: Obama blows another billion on green fantasies - Washington Times
You see, Mr. Chu and his boss have been there and done that already in California, using tax money to guarantee a massive investment in a company that was going to help usher in a brave, new and a very green world.
That company, Solyndra, declared bankruptcy not 48 hours after Mr. Chu announced his faith in Genesis. Solyndra’s founders managed to procure and eat up roughly half a billion dollars in federally guaranteed loans without making a penny in profit before declaring bankruptcy.

My Way News - Bernanke puzzled by weak consumer spending
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said he's surprised by how cautious consumers have been in the two years since the recession officially ended.
But the Fed chief offered no hints of any steps the Fed would take to boost the weak economy.
Good God, we're led by idiots!
