And You Thought Thinks Couldn’t Get Worse — 3
Sliding down the slippery slope, on tofu with miso sauce.
The PC nazis are off the leash in England. Now toddlers are racists.
See the obvious proof HERE.

Look Who’s Talking
Senator Kerry vs. Senator McCain....
We’re talking rank projection, here.
Hussein’s WMDs
Where are Wilson and Plame now that we REALLY need them?
Interesting report today.
Seems that Hussein’s efforts at achieving nuclear weapons were much more real than Wilson and Plame—along with a lot of others—would like US to believe.
I say, let them eat [yellow]cake. And have done with them. Seems we have 550 metric tons of the ‘flour’ to bake em with. Either that or let them eat ‘crow’.
Paul! You there, buddy?
Is Tom Clancy Prescient or What?
First it was Debt of Honor and 9/11.
Now could it be that someone in Iran read his Executive Orders?
Hope they haven’t read the sequel; Rainbow Six and enlisted the assistance of that idiot academic in Texas.

And You Thought Thinks Couldn’t Get Worse — 2
From the high court to the public schools.
It seems that the public education system in England is taking a lead from their Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips. According to this report, they’re indoctrinating the children in the practice of Islam. And if they don’t comply OR they don’t do it correctly, they are punished.
The two boys belong to a class that includes 11- to 12-year-olds, and after their refusal to participate they were given detention, the story says.
Furthermore....
Another parent, Karen Williams, told the Mail: “Not only was it forced upon them, my daughter was told off for not doing it right. They’d never done it before and they were supposed to do it in another language.”
As the saying goes....
...the Another HIT Piece.
Check it out....
Count that as an ‘oopsie’, m’laud.
Looks like there was a veritable ‘firestorm’ over England over Lord Phillips the other day about bringing Sharia law into the English legal system.
Last night he repudiated, as I see it, his earlier comments.
Who knew the slogan would be so apropo?
Senator Obama is living up to his campaign slogan. He’s changing his positions on just about anything and everything every day or so. It’s so bad that even the London Times is making fun of him.
Earlier this week, Chris ’Day by Day‘ Muir was bringing up that classic song by Queen, Another One Bites the Dust, but with a clever re-phrasing of the chorus....
England going down the toilet.
The Chief Justice of England now says that Sharia Law should be used in his land.
I’m going to have to watch Errol Flynn in his classic swashbuckler, Captain Blood, tonight. Why? Because I’m suddenly reminded of the court room scene where Doctor Blood confronts a similar idiot sitting on the bench.
What more could you expect.....
....from someone whose ‘christian’ ethics support sucking baby’s brains out to sustain his life-on-earth.
Or maybe it’s a matter of ADD.
Then again, it could be that he is ‘just kidding’. Maybe I should ask Armed Liberal about that....
Just when you thought thinks couldn’t get much worse....
...along comes My Little Cthulhu; the cuddly ultimate in [Lovecraft] horror.
And I thought people were being lead astray by the ‘Harry Potter’ series. Will a cabbage-patch version of Satan be next? Can we combine Evil with Horror? Will we be asked to collect the whole set?
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS 031641 Jul 08: For that matter....
Will we ‘go to Hell’ if we don’t?
Will we ‘go to Hell’ if we do?
Who’s ‘in charge’ of this mess anyway?
Who’s responsible for all these computer hacks?
Over at Strategy Page, they’re thinking about Communist China’s responsibility for ‘malware’ attacks.
I’d call their analysis of the Communist governments involvement ‘accurate’.
UPDATE: Sheesh! Talk about ‘prescient’....031304 Jul 08: Not too long after I made the initial post, I find THIS.
Here’s the ‘critical’ quote.... Or it’s possible they installed a piece of malicious software on a banking server to capture unencrypted PINs as they passed through.
Admittedly, the names of the defendants in the one case cited in the article sound more Russian or Slavic than Chinese, but whose to say the Communist Chinese aren’t ripping US off as well?
....With Iran!
As found at Instapundit:
My two cents of logic.
Premises:
1. As oil prices rise higher, more and more sustainable energy solutions become financially viable.
2. Sustainable energy helps cool the earth thus solving the problem of global warming and saving the planet.
3. Greenpeace supports saving the earth.
4. Any attack on Iran would cause the price of oil to spike.
Conclusion: Greenpeace supports an attack on Iran (at least in concept).
Is this logic inescapable?
Where’s my Wff N Proof??!?!??!???
...against Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
I wonder how much gas a volcano generates as opposed to all the herbivores in Europe? Maybe the EU can come up with a vaccine for the volcano like they are for the cow and sheep. But under all that ice, how will they administer it?
What is really damaging—downright dangerous—to democracy.
So....
...what is a more serious ‘danger to Democracy’ than the musings of one religious leader, e.g., Dobson, or another, e.g., Wright?
There are quite a few of them, if you think about it. I’ll mention two of those I consider more dangerous than others, as they tend to be root-causes of so many other dangers.
In my opinion, one of these REAL dangers is that neither Dr. Dobson nor Reverend Wright, or any of those how identify with them, listen to each other.
In his speech of 28 Jun 2006, Senator Obama calls upon everyone to engage in a dialogue about the role of religious belief in making policy. Whether or not he is being honest about engaging others in dialogue about this remains to be seen. But that’s beside the point I’m attempting.
The truth of the matter is that when people no longer listen to each other in the exchange of ideas, they are then ‘telling’ each other. It becomes a one-way communication. Not a dialogue. And, if they realize the the other party in the dialogue is not listening either, then they tend to be come angry. And from there, thinks go down hill. And we end up with 60 vehicles in vandalized with anti-Obama and racist spray-paint jobs....or worse....bullet-riddled cars ....or much worse....people.
Another REAL ‘danger to democracy’ is someone saying that someone else’s voice should NOT be heard. It’s called ‘intolerance’ and it has been a serious problem of human nature for as long as people can recollect.
Anytime someone says that someone else’s honestly held views should not be heard they are tearing at the very fabric of democracy. And once the fabric is torn enough, on the other side you find totalitarianism.
UPDATE As I Was Saying.... 301221 Jun 08: No sooner do I post this and within a few hours here is evidence of what I was talking about immediately above.
thought....er...plot thickens.

Lileks On the Fourth of July
England’s Lord Chief Justice and ‘Change’
Change We Can Believe In
I’m confident that we’ll see more ‘changes’ of this sort. And, if US is stupid enough to put him in the Oval Office, every nation on the face of the Earth will have no idea what he’ll ‘change’ his opinion on next. Maybe he’ll even decide to go nuke on Iran. Or China. Or England.....
