” 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.

The geniuses in the Obama Administration pushing ObamaCare keep telling us that we need to be like Europe.  And, in that vein, they’ve modeled the national healthcare plan they’re pushing on the German one.  They keep telling us ours won’t be like Canada’s or Great Britain’s.

Nope, it’ll be like this gem in Germany:

Germany’s century-old universal health-care system, a model cited by reform advocates in the U.S. Congress, is buckling under the weight of a growing deficit that has forced the government to explore an overhaul. . . .

Recently, I wrote about Oprah’s suck-up job on Dubai and the United Arab Emirates, not the first time she’s served as official Propaganda Minister for Gulf States or other Muslim dictatorships.  (See here and here also.) I noted Oprah’s soft-pedaling Dr. Lamees Hamdan and her lies about Dubai, the hijab, and Islam.  Dr. Hamdan, by the way, isn’t a practicing medical doctor anymore as she claimed to Oprah, and she’s not the egalitarian humanitarian she claims on healthcare either (her gimmicky beauty products are expensive and exclusive).

What’s kind of funny, though, is that the Gulf News, the Dubai-based English-language newspaper owned by Muslim businessmen close to the UAE’s rulers, agrees with me that Dr. Hamdan lied about Islamic headscarfs and full ninja gear being religious.  The publication cites me, while attacking me.  Gotta love it (can’t win for losin’ with them).  But I have to applaud the paper for showing what a fraud and a liar Oprah is and the fiction presented on her show as fact to gazillions of mindless women (and some gay men and Mr. Moms) every afternoon.

I’ve written in the past about the vile, open anti-Semitism and Israel hatred espoused by Desmond Tutu, the celebrity cleric and activist in the fight against South African apartheid.  When my brother graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, Tutu was the speaker, and my father gave out the pamphlets about Tutu at the graduation, after writing an unanswered protest letter to Penn President, Dr. Judith Rodin (see below). But Tutu’s Israel-hatred is mirrored in many of the pan-Communist participants in the anti-Apartheid movement and their extremist African National Congress (ANC).  And that includes Nelson Mandela. What my father wrote to Rodin in 2003 (posted at the end of this entry) applies to Mandela, too.  They are like minds, even if one is not as arrogant and flamboyant as the other in enunciating the same views.  And let’s face it.  While they decried racism in South Africa, they hypocritically espouse the most vitriolic brand of anti-Semitism.

The Three Stooges: Marching for Terrorism

Now, Nelson Mandela is taking this act on the road.  No big deal that the Muslims in both Egypt and Gaza practice apartheid against Jews, who can’t live safely in either (remember the Jews kicked out of Egypt after Israel became a state), and against Christians (both Palestinians in Gaza and Copts in Egypt), who sided with the Muslims against the Jews, and are now getting their asses kicked, anyway.   Nope, to Mr. Mandela–who was for a long time married to a woman named Winnie who took part in the “necklacing” murders of enemies–the real villain here is the Jews and Israel.  And he’s joining Jimmy Carter in his latest escapades in Cairo and the HAMAS-controlled Gaza.

It’s kind of funny to call something “The Big Freedom” when it celebrates the forces of subjugation–Islam, HAMAS, Arab Street extremism, and the Al-Qaeda-allied Muslim Brotherhood forces popular in Egypt–and attacks the only freedom to be seen anywhere in the region, Israel.  But, hey, that’s Carter’s M.O.  And Mandela’s, too.  He got where he was not through the “peace” he claimed to stand for, but through blood, murder, necklacing, etc.

I’ve always been against women in the military, except in clerical and USO-style positions because there is little upside and a whole lot of downside.  They get pregnant, and they’re of no use after that, or a poor baby suffers with some other caregiver.    Or other “spectacular” results:  we have Army cooks, like Shoshanna Johnson, in the war zone, and they get kidnapped in Iraq.  Then, when we do something about it and risk other soldiers to find the women and get them back in a way we’d never do for male soldiers.  And then they repay us by attacking other soldiers on CNN’s “Larry King Live” and defending Islamic terrorists like Nidal Malik Hassan.

Spc. Alexis Hutchinson: Using Her Baby Mama Status to Get Out of Duty

Or we have incompetent soldiers like Jessica Lynch, who–after a ton of training–still don’t know how to load firearms correctly and use them, can’t read a map, and get lost.  Then, we repeat by blowing our battle and security plans in order to find and rescue the female soldier. And they–at least, in Lynch’s case–get an undeserved affirmative-action-for-vulvas Bronze Star (and other unearned accolades and awards).

But those complaints don’t even take into consideration soldiers like Spc. Alexis Hutchinson, who are single mothers and jeopardize their kids’ well being if they go to war.  Statistics show that a large number of female soldiers in the military are, indeed, single mothers, likely with no father figure in their kids’ lives.  That’s bad enough.  What happens if they die?  What happens if they refuse to go when called up to go to war, using their kids as an excuse?

That’s what’s happening in Hutchinson’s case.  Her story shows how much our military is hampered by and bends over backward for single mothers in its ranks.  It’s absurd.

An Army cook and single mom is confined to her base in Georgia and may face criminal charges for skipping her deployment flight to Afghanistan in order to take care of her infant son.

Spc. Alexis Hutchinson, 21, who was arrested by military police Nov. 6, claims she had no choice but to refuse deployment orders when her mother was unable to care for her 10-month-old son, Kamani.

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE ****

So, I’m watching the Sarah Palin interview with Oprah, promoting Palin’s book, “Going Rogue: An American Life.”  And just as I predicted last week, Oprah is handling her with kid gloves, greeting her with a warm embrace and giving her softball questions, which she’s hitting out of the park.  It’s a win-win for both of them, as I also predicted last week.

It’s really much ado about nothing. No surprises here.  And really no news.  There’s nothing new here and no new information (other than quite a bit of whining).  It’s just a carefully choreographed kabuki dance by two women who have everything to gain from this and are trying their darnedest not to screw it up.  And they’re succeeding in spades.

A lot more books will be sold, and, unfortunately, a lot of conservative Palinistas will unduly fall for uber-liberal Oprah.

**** UPDATE: So the interview just ended, but before it ended Sarah Palin made a shameless suck up to uber-liberal Oprah, telling her how she was “inspired” by Oprah and “as a working mom” and by “all the obstacles you’ve overcome.” HUH?! Oprah’s a “working mom”? Really? What obstacles? Oprah’s been pandered to and spoiled all her life. Helloooo . . .? “You’re such an inspiration.” Disgusting. Yeah, that’s conservative. Uh-huh.

How very sad. Sarah Palin pulled a Bill O’Reilly with Oprah. So obvious. So fake. So stupid.  Can’t say I’m surprised.

In the wake of Attorney General Eric Holder’s boneheaded announcement, Friday, that he plans to try 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in federal court in New York, everyone under the sun is citing the Zaccarias Moussaoui trial as an example of the bad that can happen.  It’s all stuff I warned you about, a year ago.

Is KSM the Next Karim Koubriti?

But a better case for an accurate preview of what can go wrong is that of USA v. Karim Koubriti and his other co-defendants in the Detroit terror trial.  As I’ve noted in excruciating detail, after Koubriti was found guilty by a federal jury in Detroit, his lawyers and PC prosecutors conspired to get the verdict overturned.  The Justice Department (yes, it was President BUSH’s Justice Department) indicted the prosecutor (who beat the absurd charges).  Terrorist Koubriti is now living in my hometown making his way to becoming a U.S. Citizen (with the DOJ’s help).  And he’s suing the prosecutor, Richard Convertino.  That’s what can happen here with KSM and his buddies.  I’ve written about this case in the New York Post, but far more on this site.

Yes, the Moussaoui is a stark example of the dangers, and the main danger we noted on this site that seems to have been skipped elsewhere is that the inane jury was like Dr. Phil a/k/a  “Dr. Feel” audience members.  They were lulled away from giving Moussaoui the death penalty through absurd Dr. Feel psychobabble–you know, the kind that Dr. Feel enunciated during a CNN appearance making New Age excuses for Islamic terrorist Nidal Malik Hassan and his Fort Hood rampage.  The Moussaoui jury was forced to read a ridiculous sob story book by Moussaoui’ s brother, “Zaccarias Moussaoui, Mon Frere,” about how both of them were abused as kids.  So sad, too bad.  It was utter BS.  But the Dr. Feel-style jury bought it and spared his life.

How do you go from–less than two months ago–rightfully condemning a mother for sending her daughters to what she knew would be their murder by their Muslim father  . . . to making her a featured speaker at your anti-honor killing rally?!

That’s a question you’ll have to ask Pamela Geller, who–as is her recent SOP with me–ignored my e-mails to her, including two asking her why she invited Patricia Said a/k/a “Tissie,” mother of the late Sarah and Amina Said (honor killing victims) , to speak at the rally she organized, today, in Ohio for Fathima Rifqa Bary, the teen convert to Christianity seeking to get away from her Muslim parents.  The rally is set to take place at noon.  This is the woman who–less than two months ago–called Patricia Said, “the Mom From Hell” and a “murderous mom.” That’s exactly what Mrs. Said still is, despite her current “rehabilitation” by Pamela, who a few weeks ago said, “she deserves jail and knows it.”

As those of us who’ve followed the story (I was the first to blog about it and call it an honor killing) have known all along, Tissy was in on the child abuse and honor killings of her daughters from day one.  It’s well detailed in this extensive Dallas Observer piece.  Given all of this, it’s kind of funny to read Pamela’s “not on my watch” comments about Patricia Said, seven weeks ago, and now see her as an invited speaker on Pamela’s “watch,” whatever that is.

Should I get the H1N1 vaccine?  I’ve had a few opportunities to be vaccinated present themselves.  And a friend of mine, who took advantage of it, urged me to do it.  He and his nine-year-old son got vaccinated (with the nose spray, not the shot) and his son is now sick with a low-grade fever or flu (not sure which).  He, himself, only had a headache for a day and feels great.

I think I’m going to do it, but I’m also wary of becoming that one anomaly in the statistics who gets the full blown thing and gets really sick.  The overwhelming odds are, that won’t happen.  But what if?  I don’t believe in the H1N1 hype.  But I also see that some people are, indeed, dying of it–the two people on last Sunday’s “60 Minutes” were disturbing cases, indeed. (It’s far more scary than the video below, which is from a previous “60 Minutes” report.)

So, what should I do?  What would you or will you do if you can get vaccinated?
