Caribbean-Latin America
Mexican Snark o' the Day: Acapulco Edition
Google Translate. For a map, click here

Mexican authorities in Acapulco, Guerrero announced the beginning of civil defense drills in case of disasters such as earthquakes and shootings, and how civilians can survive gang violence in the streets. The following is a comment about the story:

Part of the training. Do not walk in the street

Part II. do not go by bus or by car, less by taxi.

Third, if you go, buy an armor vest, a helmet or a tank.

Fourth, make your will.

Fifth, pray to God if you must go to Mass not be in the middle of a crossfire in the church.

Sixth, if you survive post your memories and the occasional tip on saving your own hide.

China-Japan-Koreas
Kim Jong-il Succession Could Mean Crisis or Opportunity
But it might not...

Who the hell writes this stuff, anyway?... Oh. Wait. It was Yoo Ho-yeol, a professor of North Korean studies at Korea University. That's why the analysis is so incisive...

What would we do without experts ...

Geert Wilders' speech in Berlin

#1  Notwithstanding certain visionaries like Wilders, it's amazing that the Europeans are so dictator-averse (since WWII) but they don't see Islam as a threat. Every candidate for US office should be asked what they will do about the encroachment of sharia law.

Home Front: Culture Wars
Gary Hubbell: Obama the Savior
via Instapundit
Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America's future. He is the best thing ever.

...Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our society like a cancer for the last 100 years. Just as Hitler is the face of fascism, Obama will go down in history as the face of unchecked liberalism. The cancer metastasized to the point where it could no longer be ignored.

Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the beach or on hunting trips -- they've gotten off the fence. They've woken up. There is a level of political activism in this country that we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American political and social consciousness.

#1  Anyone besides myself notice a change or toning down of his normal crazed rhetoric of late? He may have finally realized the gig is up.

#2  He's certainly a uniter, not a divider.

#3  IOW, what doesn't kill us will make us stronger. Hope he's right.
