I'm not incredibly clear on the actual terms of the reported implementation of shari'a in Canada. It looks like a nongovernmental group, the Islamic Institute for Civil Justice, will administer shari'a in purely civil cases to voluntary participants. The resultant...

Hey Diddle Diddle
"Now, I want to give you a little technical bovine information here. If, like me, you grew up on a dairy farm, you already know this, but surveys show that very few Americans these days have actually ever lived on a farm of any kind, so I'm guessing most of you are city/suburban folk and may have little understanding of barnyard lore.
The Famous Mad Cow of Washington State was a Holstein. Holsteins are dairy cattle, not beef cattle. They are the black and white ones, the ones frequently seen on TV promoting Chick Fil A. Among the common dairy breeds, they are the largest, being tall, awkward and decidedly gangly. If cows had basketball teams, Holsteins would play center. "

I see Mr. ??? over at Don't Tread on Me has been having a lot of the same 'What If' thoughts I've been having lately.
"Can you imagine the mobs in insane rage going after people they merely suspect are Islamic? Imagine how many Hindu Indians and Indonesian Christians and others would be shot on sight for all the wrong reasons.
I don’t want to have to think about how many civilians and law enforcement and national guard will kill each other because the former will refuse to surrender their weapons or the right of self-defense to the latter. All because of the damnable politically fashionable brainwashing that teaches government employees and the weak minded to think that only government bureaucracies know best how to protect them. All the while, lying to you on the subject since, all the way to the Supreme Court, it has been ruled that the State has no obligation to protect any citizen."

Bush Derangement Syndrome
It has been 25 years since I discovered a psychiatric syndrome (for the record: ``Secondary Mania,'' Archives of General Psychiatry, November 1978), and in the interim I haven't been looking for new ones. But it's time to don the white coat again. A plague is abroad in the land.
Bush Derangement Syndrome: the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency -- nay -- the very existence of George W. Bush.

We doed it!
NASA's Mars rover Spirit touched down on the red planet's surface just about on time Saturday night, sending a radio signal that it had survived the intensely hot descent through the Martian atmosphere and bouncing landing.
Spirit Rover on Target for Tonight's Mars Landing
Navigators for NASA's Spirit Mars Exploration Rover put the spacecraft so close to a bull's-eye with earlier maneuvers that mission managers chose to skip the final two optional maneuvers for adjusting course before arrival at Mars.

Toxins lead to healthier lives?
According to the theory, a little arsenic, dioxin or radiation peppered on the spaghetti sauce may be just what we require to live long and healthy lives. And since humans need more toxins in our environment than allowed under current government regulations, so the theory goes, future efforts to clean up the environment could be greatly reduced.
The idea is that poisons such as arsenic are, of course, poisonous ? that is, if one ingests too much they will produce sickness or death. But arsenic and other toxins in very low doses, below an amount deemed harmful, repeatedly have been shown to benefit the functions of organs, the optimal growth of the organism or longevity.

I feel safer, how about you?
Well, ephedra is now banned by the government. Why? Well, around a hundred cases have been 'linked' (as reported by our national media) to the use of ephedra & the very publicized case of the Baltimore Orioles pitcher who took ephedra in a manner that...

[Citizen Smash - The Indepundit]
Why does this country continue to throw billions at countries who always repay us with a slap on the face. When they slap us we offer them more money. Someone in Washington needs to get a clue. That's my money you are giving to those ungrateful excuses for human beings and I'm deeply offended. CP
