For the record: I dumped the "NKOR MV RIM abandoned by the crew after escaping from their captivity by Somali Pirates?" story. It was a duplicate from a few days ago. Sorry, 3dc.
The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini." The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "168". The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.
The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says," What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini". Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "100." The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.
The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini", and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "Uh, about 50." The robot leans in real close and says, "So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?"
I'm ashamed that I laughed. Really, it's not kind at all.
Arthur Laffer: Today's corporate profits reflect an income shift into 2010. These profits will tumble next year, preceded most likely by the stock market.
Helen Thomas is living proof that there is a place and time for a Burqa.
Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch released the following statement regarding Helen Thomas:
Helen Thomas, 89, who is of Lebanese descent, claims to be a professional journalist. As such, she is subject to professional standards. Her statement that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and go back to "Poland and Germany" is clear evidence that she is no longer in control of her emotions and cognitive powers and that she cannot carry out the impartial obligations of a journalist. She has disgraced herself.
Jews have lived in the area known in modern times as the British Mandate of Palestine, for thousands of years and up to the present time. Indeed, Israelite civilization goes back to the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as to King David and King Solomon. We Jews spring from the loins of those patriarchs. The State of Israel sits where the Jewish Kingdoms of Judea and Israel reigned thousands of years ago.
Ms. Thomas has embarrassed not only herself, but also her employer, Hearst News Service, as well as her colleagues who attend the White House press conferences with her. Her apology is hollow, unbelievable and unacceptable. She would do everyone a favor by leaving the stage. Goodbye, Ms. Thomas.

In some ways I would have preferred that Helen stay.
That way her presence would remind everyone everyday that certain types of bigotry is acceptable to the media.

She should go back to the dungeon she is from... someone throw a bucket of water on her and watch her melt.

Great example of 60 decades of unbiased reporting'

i.e.: You should have kept your mouth shut, Helen.
Israel released the names on Sunday of the Turkish passengers aboard the Marvi Marmara who it claims have been involved in terror activities.
Among those named was Fatima Mohammadi (31), from Iran, who lives in the US and is active in the group Viva Palestine. Mahmadi tried to bring electronic components into the Gaza Strip, which Israel has forbidden.
Ken O'Keefe was also accused by the IDF of having ties to terror. O'Keefe (41), who holds US and British citizenship, was described by the IDF as an extreme Israel-hating activist, Hamas activist. His aim was to reach Gaza for training and to set up commando units for Hamas.'
There were also two Turks on the list released by the IDF. Hassan Aynsey (28), a member of a Turkish charity association, regularly transfers funds to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, the IDF claimed. Hussein Orush, from the Turkish IHH organization, intended to assist al-Qaeda activists into the Strip via Turkey.
Ahmed Omemun (51) from Morocco, who also has French citizenship, is a Hamas activist, according to the IDF.

Israel should go before the UN and read international law in regards to a blockade and then state they reserve the right to sink any further ships that run the blockade and will consider such incursions as acts of war according to that international law.
State the law in every statement and make it clear to some of the dimmer folks which side is rewriting the law. Won't work for most but might sink in for some politicians who will not appreciate the rewriting of international law for this narrow purpose.

Tipper, please quote a paragraph or two when you post a story.
The latest round of European denunciations of Israel are nothing more than Western governments acting like proxies of Islam. Which is exactly what they are. And when Muslim immigrants treat European countries as their new colonies, those same governments react by treating them as their new masters, and like good native rulers, they silence all domestic dissent. After all who knows what the masters might do to them, if they spoke up. Who knows. Certainly not them.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
