I did not particularly like any of the new offerings at the box office, this weekend.  They range from atrocious ghetto glorification to cheesy teen heartthrobs to cloying manipulation dressed as a sports movie.  I did not see the animated “Planet 51,” which is getting few positive reviews.  Lots of saccharine this week.  Nothing sweet.

*  “The Twilight Saga:  New Moon“:  It’s no news that this teen drivel is destined to be a multi-gazillion dollar hit.  There’s nothing extremely offensive about this movie, unless you want your daughter to learn it’s fun to jump off cliffs and get on the motorcycle of random street trash when she’s brooding over a boyfriend who left her. . .  and return from all of this unscathed.  Oh, and there’s also the main character worrying ad nauseam that when she gets old, her boyfriend won’t find her attractive anymore.  Isn’t this an issue older women are supposed to be worried about?  Now it’s a teen prob?

Yaakov Kirschen, better known as “Dry Bones,” is Israel’s most prolific and well-known political cartoonist.  I’ve enjoyed many of his right-on-target cartoons over the years.  Reader Raymond sent me this one, below, “The Islamist and the Non-Believer,” which has to be the political cartoon of the year.  It says it all about the PC crowd in America and beyond.  Read the Dry Bones Blog, where you’ll see new cartoons just like it, every day.  And, as you can see from this cartoon, you don’t need to be Jewish or Israeli to appreciate his cartoons, which deal with a number of American political and pop culture lifestyle issues, too.

Last night, I attended a screening of “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” the second cinematic installment in the “Twilight” book series that is all the rage for straight teen females.  I can’t post my review until Midnight, when the movie debuts, and I’ll try to have it up by that time.  Stay tuned for that.

What got me were not the many teen girls in the long lines to get into the screenings or their screams at the sight of the male 20-something co-stars in the movie.  (Though, I really don’t think I was this bad as a young kid when I liked Sean Cassidy in “The Hardy Boys” or as a teen when I liked Rick Springfield and Duran Duran.)

What got me–what I found kinda laughable and pathetic–were the many (yes, many!) grown women who lined up for this and were all gaga over it.  We’re talking 30-, 40-, and even 50-something women who go to a movie to see a 17-year-old (who was 16 at the time it was filmed) take his shirt off and show his chest.  Isn’t there something illegal about this . . . or at least, unseemly?

But William Daroff, Washington director of the Jewish Federations of North America, said that size isn’t what matters.

No, this quote isn’t about penis size (though it is kind of funny to read, especially b/c I know Daroff and he’s usually smarter than that). It’s about the size of this year’s White House Chanukah party, which the Obama Administration has shrunken in half. Several Jewish readers have e-mailed me, complaining about this.

But I really don’t care about the size of the party. Obama isn’t Jewish. And as I said around Passover time, when Obama hosted an unkosher Seder–the first White House Seder–at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, I really don’t think there should be White House Ramadan Iftar dinners, Chanukah parties, or anything else, other than the lighting of the White House Christmas Tree and a Christmas Party. But both the Jerusalem Post and Politico are whining about this, along with a lot of Jews I know.

Stop the whining.  This party is meaningless.  And here’s why:

We’ve long known that Palestinian and other Islamic charities are frauds and simply conduits to fund Islamic terrorism.  It’s not just the Holy Land Foundation or other big ones, like Al-Mabarat or LIFE For Relief and Development, which I’ve written about on this site.  It’s basically all of them.

Waad “Charity” Openly Does HAMAS’ Bidding, Solicits Kidnap of Israeli Soldiers

Now, though, at least one of these “charities” is finally coming clean and honestly and openly proclaiming what they’re really all about.

A Gaza charity headed by the interior minister of Hamas yesterday offered $1.4 million to any Arab citizen of Israel who abducts an Israeli soldier. Palestinians have frequently called on Israeli Arabs to abduct soldiers, but this is the first time money has been offered.

The Waad group from Gaza offered the bounty in an e-mail sent to Palestinian media. The organization, which supports Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, is headed by Hamas’ Interior Minister Fathi Hamad. . . .

As many have remarked, we know very little about Barack Obama.  And that’s in great part to his own reticence and his own lock on his years at Columbia University (where he had a Muslim roommate and was a drug addict), his thesis, etc.  It’s odd in a day and age where our media works overtime on figures like Sarah Palin who aren’t in the White House, and yet we know next to nothing about the leader of the free world.

And it’s weird.

It seems the weirdest story yet is about yet another one of Barack Obama’s half-brothers.  He seems to have a gazillion of these half-siblings and clearly Barack, Sr. got around almost as much as Wilt Chamberlain.  On Wednesday, President Obama had a meeting with half-bro, Mark Okoth Obama Ndesandjo, who lives in China.

I’ve written many pieces on the increased frequency and tolerance of incest and child molestation within Islamic families.  But in this case, it’s not about real incest, just faked marriage to stay in the country–perpetrated by Nigerians who are apparently Muslims (based on their first names).  Anyone else would be embarrassed to marry their daughter, even if the relationship is a fake.  But leave it to certain illegal aliens to do anything to get what they want, including a fake wedding of father and daughter.  This is the mother (or is that, father-daughter?) of Nigerian scams.

Daddy Dearest: Brit Immigration Official Married Daughter to Get Her UK Visa

Oh, and by the way, the scammer works for the British government–for their IMMIGRATION authority(!)–the British “Home Office,” which has been aware of the scam for two years and did nothing about it. That’s no surprise to DebbieSchlussel.com readers since I recently posted news about British Attorney General Patricia Scotland and how she, herself, knowingly employed an illegal alien assistant. And the UK wonders why it is sinking.

A Nigerian Home Office worker ‘married’ his own daughter to get her a British visa. . . .

The extraordinary scam was apparently executed by Jelili Adesanya while [British government] ministers turned a blind eye.

I posted this MadTV video a long time ago, but I could watch it over and over.  It was shot during the Bush Presidency, but it’s a great parody of Obama-era “post-racialism” and “post-feminism.” ‘Nuff said.

” She”–or whatever “it” is–made my husband look like a ballerina.

– A friend of mine who attended a speech by Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano, Sunday Night, at which the clueless Napolitano touted the glories of extremist Muslims to an Orthodox Jewish audience.

Homeland Security?: Syed Napolitano Pimps Extremist University & Ends Terrorist Threat Forever

Ah, the obtuseness of DHS chief Janet Napolitano a/k/a “The Lesbionic Woman.” On Sunday Night, Napolitano spoke at the annual fundraising dinner for the Yeshiva Beth Yehudah, an Orthodox Jewish academy for higher learning for boys and girls in metro Detroit (which my father attended as a boy). She was speaking to a very religious crowd of Orthodox Jews. We’re talking men who wear black hats and beards and women who cover their hair and dress modestly. And most of them would have a very hard time getting into Dubai or the rest of the United Arab Emirates.

Twenty percent of the world’s population is going to be Muslim one day and they have expectations, they have needs.

–  Frits van Dijk, executive vice president of Nestle, the world’s biggest food group AND the world’s leading manufacturer of halal food. (No relation to Dick van Dijk that we know of.)

Yeah, “needs” like four wives and a taste for Jewish and Christian infidel blood a la the Fort Hood massacre.

Sadly, those “expectations and needs,” as we all know, have gone well beyond the kitchen and the meal and into restricting the lives and lifestyles of non-Muslim westerners, as well as our foreign policy.
