"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."

All of these stories were found in the last couple days posted to Lucianne.
‘Border Baby’ boom strains S. Texas – There’s a picture with the story of an illegal alien who’s given birth to her fourth child on American soil at American taxpayer expense who thinks it’s owed to her!
Of course the real story is how ‘anchor babies’ are breaking the backs of South Texas hospitals. Continue reading “Guard the Borders”
No, I’m not going to link it, but I just love it when a guy brags about being “self-employed as a software developer” and “web site designer”… and the page those boasts are on doesn’t load/display properly in two different browsers.
Oh, yeh. Mac user. (Apologies to both of my readers who aren’t typical Mac users… :-))
Still having a hoot with the al-Qaeda>Saudi>Al Jizeera>Fwench news chain of “credible sources” in the “OBL is dead (again)” story. No sane person can write great material like that.
Oh, and for more “gotta-love-’em idiocy” take Congress (please!). One “word” (for those who can’t count): Arlen Specter. How better to sum it up than this comment by one of the great minds of the 20th Century?
(BTW, ya know there are three kinds of people in the world, dontcha? Those who can count and those who can’t.)
Well, enough for a drive-by. Just remember: if you need a laugh or three, there’s plenty of stupidity to ridicule in the news, on the web—even here at twc. ;-)—and just driving down the road. After all, as Woody reminds us, at least 42% of Americans are complete morons. (Really, Woody? Ya think it’s that low? :-))
This is an open trackbacks post. Link to this post and track back. More below the brief roundup featuring articles by Mensa Barbie, STACLU, Conservative Cat (Ferdy: gottalovehim), Planck’s Constant, Big Lizards, Blue Star Chronicles, Woody’s News and Views, Woman Honor Thyself, All Things Beautiful, and Basil’s Blog.
UPDATE: N.B.—I inadvertently (got inna hurry paging through mky SPAM moderation queue, ya know) deleted a TB from Bernie at Planck’s Constant. That’s a no-no in my book, so here’s the link and lede:
I have taken it upon myself to supply the world with more Muslim jokes. It goes without saying that Muslims are perhaps the least humorous folk on Earth; whereas Jews have learned to laugh at themselves, even turning that laughter into a business: Vaudeville.
There ya go, Bernie. I’ll be more careful in the future.
Amid alla the brouhaha about the information from France, via Al- jizeera, from Saudi Arabia saying its source is Al Qaeda (damned liars reliable sources one and all *cough-spit*), let’s keep our eye on the ball in the GWOT—Truth and Justice and Iraq, in particular: Mensa Barbie offers a lil timely aid in that effort.
About that GWOT, Clinton’s apologia for his eight years’ inaction, balancing civil rights and national security, etc., STACLU comments on “Learning From The Past”.
A heartwarming link (with typical commentary) from Conservative Cat. Makes me wanna do a happy dance. *heh*
Planck’s Constant shares with us his grief over the report of bin Laden’s reported death. I agree, Bernie, though I feel perhaps your “grief” may not be quite deep enough; the proper treatment of OBL’s burial would involve a bit more, I think… *heh*
Daffyd (Big Lizards) notes the award of the laurel wreath to the Champion of Terrorist Rights, today. Indeed.
Blue Star Chronicles reminds us of who the real heroes are in the GWOT (Hint: they’re not found among Political Poltroons, Mass Media Podpeople, Loony Left Moonbats or Academia But Fruitcakes).
On a slight *a-hem* change of pace, Woody’s News and Viewsd has a couple of “see ’em to believe ’em” posts. OK, one is simply a graphic that strikes a resonant chord in me, the other’s a video that’s worth a lil break time.
Even further along the curve away from the GWOT (or is it, really?), Angel’s weekend open trackbacks post has some good thoughts, calming pics. Head on over to Woman Honor Thyself for a lil time of quiet contemplation of the splendor of creation.
Alexandra’s Rosh Hashanah post at All things Beautiful is one of the weekend’s “must reads” IMO.
And finally, head on over to Basil’s Blog to test your knowledge of Ramadan.
As I said above, this is an open trackbacks post. Link to this post and then track back. If you want to host your own linkfests, check out
