Fingers shall remain crossed.

No matter what the problem at hand is, Communists and their Socialist enablers will only ever see one solution:

Robert Spencer highlights a really interesting video, which purports to be a street in Paris which has been radically taken over for daily prayers.
Notice how the cameraman is forcefully ushered off of a public sidewalk.
To any French-speakers that happen to be out there, I'd love to hear your translations.
-->As an Evil Defense Contractor, I'll be the first to say that whomever made the decision to leave the video feeds on drone systems unencrypted is probably going to be .... SO FIIRRREEDDDDDD:

You know how Greenpeace always goes out of its way to be a nuisance, hoisting banners on top of parliaments and opera houses and anything else they can get their grubby little green hands on?
It would seem that someone has gotten "inside" the group, and "accidentally" swapped [...]
Just heard Fox News this morning on the way in to work discussing how the governor of Wisconsin has signed a bill mandating the instruction of "labor union history" in that State's schools.
That sounds like a terrific idea! I can't wait to see a classroom discussion on how' [...]
You know, I'm really beginning to suspect that the White House photographer corps secretly hates the Obama family.
Take this picture, for example: This is an event which, under any circumstances, should be a warm and caring event. And yet, when Samantha Appleton went through her photos to find' [...]
In viewing this photo, I am reminded of an ancient concept from a Physics class long ago called the "Observer Effect."
Basically, the idea is that there are things which cannot be measured without being altered. Which invalidates, to a certain extent, the measurement taken.
Or, looking at the [...]
Soccer Dad points out that the fools at the Washington Post are under the impression that the Council on American-Islamic Relations plans on mounting a campaign to "combat" extremist interpretations of Islam.
One wonders which tactic CAIR will take this time?

Robert Stacy McCain is the undisputed king of tip-jar rattling, but he's really topped himself this time.
In the spirit of the Christmas season, he has created a musical masterpiece so shameless, it just has to be linked far and wide. In fact, the only thing I can think of [...]
In a clear affront to the Most Successful Presidential Administration In History, TIME Magazine has named Ben Bernacke as its Person of the Year for 2009.
What? Is there some strange rule against choosing Barack Obama for two straight years or something? Or for the next eight, even?
Or is TIME [...]

I'm slowly getting caught back up over here. Expect updates shortly...

Stacy says it's better than Cats, but I find that hard to imagine....
Anyway, the premise behind the movie, which seems to be "Former evil conservative talk show radio host takes on world of muddle-headed mush-brained zombies," is one that I must admit I've never seen put in movie form [...]
I think this shot, taken by White House photographer Pete Souza, illustrates very succinctly the Obama Administration's relationship to Old Europe. And what better way to point that out than by providing detail views of two very particular areas of the frame.
On the left, we see someone who' [...]
Long-time reader Kevin (of Toast fame) took one look at our previous Obama Nobel Speech word picture and spotted something horribly wrong with it. And I'll be honest, it totally escaped my mind.

A religious party in Pakistan that rages against terrorism? I'd say that's a really good start:
Supporters of Pakistani religious party Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan hold a rally to condemn ongoing violence by militants in Pakistan, Friday, Dec. 11, 2009 in Karachi, Pakistan. They condemned suicide attacks and praised Pakistan army fighting [...]

update: Firsthand report of this protest here (via Google Autotranslate):
El Nuevo Herald reported yesterday that "three buses carried about 400 people, who began to harass the protesters with pro-government slogans, halons hair and bruises." Revolutionaries are called "spontaneous" as communist propaganda, better known as shock troops. As proof [...]

Observation #1: It's truly fitting to note that a light in the sky that was taken as some (idiots) to be a sign of Obama's greatness turns out to be a Russian missile failure.

A discourse on why Sonia Sotomayor abuses the English language with her incoherent P.C. ramblings.
And by "the English language," I of course mean the "American legal system."
Ladies and gentlemen, this illustrates quite succinctly why we should never elect an idiot to the White House.
-->Let's see if you can figure out the subtle difference in language here. From an anti-Syrian protest today in Beirut:
Activists opposed to the Syrian government stage a protest in Beirut, Lebanon, Thursday, Dec. 10, 2009, to protest against what they allege is Syria's use of torture on prisoners. The [...]

Like Ace says: "Sure, why not?"
Apparently, the British Met Office, the nation's chief meteorology institute, has "strongly encouraged" the scientists it has on staff to sign a petition "defending" Global Warming.
And by "strongly encouraged," I mean "threatened to fire."
After all, nothing says "Science!" more than being given the choice' [...]
Isn't Al Gore an American? Well, ok. Let me re-phrase that. Wasn't Al Gore born in America?
