I’m going to be frank about this. All those who would like Israel to stop bombing the crap out of the Gaza strip why don’t you volunteer yourself to personally go down there and try and work things out peaceably? Yeah I thought so, no one wants to, yet Israel is supposed to reason why Hamas, a terrorist organization who doesn’t want any peace at all and was the instigator of the attacks by firing rockets at Israeli civilians.
Its funny how the news never reported what Hamas was doing but as soon as Israel retaliates you hear the UN and the good old USA telling them to shut down their guns. Well I’m glad that unlike France and soon to be the US Israel does not wait for the UN to fight their battles because if they did there would not be an Israel around today.
So I support the military assault. And I am with Israel to do any and everything in their power to keep their citizens safe. If Gaza and the Palestinians love their life so much they will offer those up to Israel who are behind the bombings of the Israeli cities. If not let them suffer the death of all those who wage terrorist acts against Israel or any civilized country for that matter.

Its kinda ironic because I was in Grand Bahamas back in November on vacation and now we’re hearing that John Travolta’s sixteen year old son has died due to an an injury sustained by hitting his head on the bathtub of in one of the rooms of the Old Bahama Bay Hotel where they were staying.
Jett had been known to suffer from seizures and his mother Kelly Preston said that he did suffer from Kawasaki disease.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to John Travolta, Kelly Preston and their family on the tragic death of their son Jett. The Travolta family has become like family to us at Old Bahama Bay and we extend our deepest sympathies to them. - Robert Gidel, president of Ginn Resorts, which owns Old Bahama Bay
Jett was the family’s oldest son named after his fathers loves for airplanes. They also have a daughter, Ella Bleu born in 2000.

Its official, the Parliament of Estonia has approved a bill that will allow citizens to vote in parliamentary elections in 2011. This is not the first move of its kind because last election Estonians were allowed to vote over the internet.
Now I know everyones wondering how do they prevent fraud? Each voter is required to get a free authorized chip for the cell phone says Raul Kaidro, spokesman of the SK Certification Center (the company which issues personal ID cards in said country).
The chip will authorize voters and confirm their identity to the electronic voting systems. Raul says that it is the most secure way to authorize digital signatures, and he thinks its the first of its kind. We’ll just have to see about that Raul…we’ll just wait and see.

Every day I get more and more scared of this woman. I swear if it wasn’t for the fact that her husband seemed so nice I would have… ah never mind. Remember the other day when we reported how Jerome Corsi (the author of a controversial anti-Obama book) was deported from Kenya? Well Mrs. Obama went on such a rampage against API it was not even funny. In fact it was scary. I have some excerpts from the interview below and you can find the entire interview along with the story after the break…

Is Vladimir trying to send Bush a subtle message not to f*** with him and his men in Georgia? I’m not sure that this lunatic believes that this will actually give him some credence, but in any case its quite interesting.

Its coming people and unless you speak up against it it will be on our doorsteps before you can blink. Right now the GCHQ wants to read every text message and email message in Britain. And I am sure that I need not tell you the reason. Of course they are trying to stop terrorism.
I have a real question for everyone who reads this blog. Which would you rather. The government keeping tabs on every form of communication you have and provide you a secure country. Or the possibility of a terrorist attack, but at least your privacy is secure?
Its a serious question which needs to be answered. Oh and BTW even if they do get their way there is no way that they can prevent every attack. All that will happen is the terrorists will get more sophisticated.
People I beg of you. Do not give up your civil liberties for protection. You will regret it. Next they will ask you to give up your guns.

I’m not saying that this is the reason why he is being deported but it looks highly fishy. Apparently Jerome Corsi is the author of the book The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality a controversial books the accuses Obama of secret ties with ultra left wing groups and “black rage.”
Well Mr. Corsi was in Kenya (Nairobi to be exact) promoting the release of his book. Only to be detained and deported Tuesday. Should I mention that Kenya is highly favorable to Obama? Nah I have nothing else to say.

I don’t make a habit of lying but just in case you do believe this is a fib you can ask the rider himself. BTW his name is Steve Colligan although I fail to see how you will be able to reach him at the moment as he must be finalizing his will and paying his respects before he ends risks his life on this insane idea.
Steve Colligan plans to do the 600-mile stretch from Lhasa in Tibet to Kathmandu in Nepal. The 47-year-old british citizen is doing it for charity (raising money for some school in Nepal). Of course he will also hold the record for being the Evil Knievel of unicyclists.
Of course he is taking precautions. He will be using a mountain unicycle to attempt the record breaking stunt.

The pope has made himself clear by condemning the 4 foot sculpture of the frog pictured at left. The sculpture is by the late German artist Martin Kippenberger. The sculpture (as you can see) pictures a green frog, nailed to a wooden cross, with a green beer mug in his right hand and an egg in his left hand.
Board members at the museum of Museion in Bolzano Italy were debating last Thursday whether to remove the sculpture or leave it there and face the wrath of the pope.
While I do not agree with the sculptures, it is my personal belief that its a freedom of expression. Yes the pope has the right to condemn the cross, but he should not go any father than that.
On the other hand I would like to see what all those Muslim sympathizers have to say. At the moment you cannot have a single sculpture up in any public musium that the Muslims consider offensive. Yet I don’t hear these same people condemning this sculpture. Is it just me or do I sense another case of double standards here? I could be wrong, but seeing this is the Italians (who have heavy Muslim concentration), something is telling me that this is not the case.

That is the actual picture of Angel Valodia Matos of Cuba kicking referee Chakir Chelbat during his mens +80kg bronz taekwondo bout against Arman Chilmanov of Kazakhstan at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
The stunt got the brother banned for life from the sport. Yet former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro has defended his actions. According to Castro, Matos is justified because he could not control himself due to his anger that his coach earlier and just let it loose.
I thought we do not justify actions no matter how pure their motives were? Castro is pretty pissed at the entire ordeal including a couple others because due to some Beijing Olympic disciplinary actions which left the small island without a single gold medal during the games.
