Ever get sick of the news?

Me too. I guess it's as much a fascination with the "WHAT?!?" you run across, and the absolute bullshit in too many cases, that keeps dragging you back to looking. In the BS category, this for instance:
Could Israel be using Wikileaks to prepare the US for an Israeli air strike against Iran?

This nation is moving toward a repeat of the US rush to invade Iraq in 2003. Mass media coverage of the Wikileaks story is performing the same function the media played to make the case for the 2003 US invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq.
It's being done by the JOOOOOOS!
President George W. Bush was a willing instrument in the military invasion of Iraq. Controlling a major Arab state, Bush assumed, was in the best interest of the US.

Jeff Gates argues in Sabbah Report that Wikileaks is being used as part of Israel’s game theory warfare:
So it's not really Bush's fault, he was a tool of the evil Zionist Jews, etc. I wonder if they've added this to an updated version of the Protocols?


Mr. Frum, you're a vile piece of progressive crap, and you don't get to tell me what I'm allowed to say. Or read or see, either. "There must be free speech, but only that which we approve of!" my ass.


The wealth of my people is our culture. The things we have are a side effect. I'm going to build some shelves tomorrow.
Oh yeah, culture matters; a LOT.


Under the heading of "History we'd damn well better not forget", thanks to Mr. Huffman,

The Jew Alfred Flatow was found to be in possession of one revolver with twenty-two rounds of ammunition, two pocket pistols, one dagger, and thirty one knuckledusters. Arms in the hands of Jews are a danger to public safety.

Police First Sergeant Colisle
Via an arrest report from Berlin, October 4, 1938.
He was arrested based on the above while attempting to comply with an order to turn in all firearms to the government. His firearm was legally owned and registered. It wasn’t until November 11, 1938 that the Weapons Control Act of 1938 went into effect making it illegal for Jews to own firearms. Hence, he was arrested while complying with the law at the time.

After his arrest he was turned over to the Gestapo and transported to Terezin in October of 1942. He died of starvation in the Theresienstadt concentration camp in December 1942.
Journal on Firearms & Public Policy Volume 21, Fall 2009, “Arms in the Hands of Jews Are a Danger to Public Safety”: Nazism, Firearm Registration, and the Night of the Broken Glass, pages 28 & 29.

Note that one part: He was arrested based on the above while attempting to comply with an order to turn in all firearms to the government. Which might be considered crap from the past if it weren't for crap like this from New Jersey. No, it wasn't Nazis going after Jews; it was sorry excuses for lawmen and bureaucrats with a love of power putting someone in prison for a legal act, helped along by jurors with no guts or integrity. Which things really helped the Nazis along back then.

Why yes, I do have a very low view of the bastards. And if Christie doesn't at least get the guy out of jail, he can go to hell too.


The Madman brings us more news on the bigot Paul Helmke, who really is a sorry piece of work.
Also the situation in northern Mexico, which absolutely sucks.

Speaking of absolutely sucking, we come to Helen Thomas, who is vile on a hard-to-describe level. But she's a 'respected journalist', etc.


And finally, some of those wonderful people always bitching about 'the rich not paying their fair share':
The 50 wealthiest lawmakers were worth almost $1.4 billion in 2009, about $85.1 million more than 12 months earlier, according to The Hill’s annual review of lawmakers’ financial disclosure forms.

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) tops the list for the second year in a row. His minimum net worth was $188.6 million at the end of 2009, up by more than $20 million from 2008, according to his financial disclosure form.

…There were a few other new faces in the Top 50, including Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), who received an inheritance after his late father, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), died in 2009. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Rep. Tom Petri (R-Wis.) also made the list.
Remember the video of Swimmer Kennedy admitting he was sheltering as much of his estate as possible from the taxes he said it was only fair for people to pay? And, as she asks, has Kerry actually paid those taxes he dodged but said he'd pay anyway?
The Wall Street gamblers that Obama and his wife carped about on the campaign trail were shoveling money to his campaign hand over fist. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, hedge funds and private equity firms donated $2,992,456 to the Obama campaign in the 2008 cycle. Obama, erstwhile critic of the campaign finance practice known as “bundling,” happily accepted more than $200,000 in bundled contributions from billionaire hedge-fund manager James Torrey, more than $100,000 in bundled contributions from billionaire hedge-fund manager Paul Tudor Jones and more than $50,000 in bundled contributions from billionaire hedge-fund manager Kenneth C. Griffin, chief executive officer of Citadel Investment Group in Chicago.
Yeah, they're evil, crooked people EXCEPT when they're handing cash off to Obama & Co.

Enough. I shall now bundle myself up and head out into the cold.
