**** UPDATE: Northwest Airlines a/k/a “Dhimmi Air” Quickly Caves, Gives Apology, $$$ to Whining Hezbollah Muslims ****
So, you’re flying back to the United States from Germany. You are late for your flight . . . way too late.
Even though for international flights you are required to check in at least an hour before the scheduled take-off time and board the flight a half hour before the flight, you arrive for the flight 20 minutes before take-off. The airline does not allow you on board and, maybe even makes you pay to get on the next flight because it’s overbooked. Since it’s the last flight out, your tardiness also costs you the expense of a night at a hotel.
What do you do?
If you’re like everyone else, you quietly chastise yourself for being late and kick yourself for the hassle and extra money your own lack of time-budgeting cost you. You knew the rules, and you blew it.

Leaders of Threatened Muslim Northwest Airlines Boycott:
Hassan Qazwini (w/ Hezbollah Spiritual Leader/Specially Designated Terrorist Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah), Najah Bazzy
But if you’re an American Muslim, you raise holy hell, scream and yell about bigotry, Islamophobia, “flying while Muslim,” etc., etc., etc. ad nauseam. And nausea. And you threaten to boycott the airline. Rules? Who cares about the rules? Hijackers? Security needs? Why is that my concern? The people who did that hijacked my religion, and I’m entitled to a giant chip on my shoulder and tons of privileges and special treatment because of it.
That’s what started yesterday, with press conferences on TV all over Detroit held by Hezbollah-supporting, Shi’ite Imam Hassan Qazwini, head of the Islamic Center of America, North America’s largest mosque. I’ve written about Qazwini, since 1998, when I went undercover to his mosque and watched Qazwini and his congregants vehemently cheer on Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic tirades and calls for a jihad on America’s Jews. I wrote about this in The Detroit Newsistan, before it became Islamist-occupied territory.
His friend, Hezbollah spiritual leader and Specially Designated Global Terrorist, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, is the man who gave the fatwa (religious decree) okaying the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983, murdering over 241 Americans.
I’ve also written about his congregants, like Najah Bazzy, a nurse who proudly proclaimed in 2004, “I’m embarrassed to be American,” and provided an anti-Israel exhibit to the Arab American National Museum. She is also suspected of helping pregnant Muslim foreigners who defraud Medicaid, getting U.S. taxpayers to cover the costs of hospital delivery of their children (and automatic U.S. citizenship for these Islamist anchor babies).
These are the kinds of people the rules for early arrival for flights were made for, NOT the people for whom the rules should be especially bent.
Ms. Bazzy and Mr. Qazwini led yesterday’s whining, hysterical multiple-press conferences threatening a Muslim boycott of Northwest. Believe me, I’d love to boycott Northwest, too. Not because of this, but because the airline stinks and has total contempt for its non-whining–read, non-Muslim–customers. But, if you are in the Detroit area, you simply don’t have a choice. Northwest runs most of the flights, unless you want to be flying all day, connecting everywhere, to travel 500 miles.

Official Dhimmi Aircraft
I doubt a Muslim boycott will really take place, based on that logistic fact. But what I know will happen is tons of capitulation by Northwest Airlines. That’s what they do. The airline annually donates tons of free tickets to extremist pro-terror groups, like the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, flying people like “former” terrorist Imad Hamad all over the country for free. Well, actually not for free. You are making up the difference in your ticket price. Northwest even paid for ADC’s interns to travel cross-country.
Northwest gives in any time ADC or CAIR or any pan-Islamist group gets a paper-cut or lets out a whisper. Muslim Northwest employees who violated Northwest’s vacation and sick day policy, lying about being sick to go to a wedding were given their jobs back after being fired. Why? Easy. ADC yelled, and whined, and complained. Don’t look for non-Muslim employees to get such flexibility in company policy from Northwest.
But do look for Northwest to give in to the whining “showing up way too late at the Airport while Muslim” Muslims. They’ll get money, free tickets, a well-paid Northwest-wide sensitivity training consulting contract, an apology, and a whole lot of other stuff.
Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching.
That’s Northwest’s dhimmi track record. And on that, at least, the airline has always been very consistent.
Dhimmi Air flies the not-so-friendly skies.

The produce industry–and even the cover of USA Today’s Money Section–are abuzz with the latest food innovation: Fizzy Fruit.
Through some kind of patented process Fizzy Fruit took carbonated water and infused fresh fruit with it. One company executive calls it “this generation’s pop rocks.” Except that it’s healthy.
Food industry movers and shakers believe this new product, which doesn’t alter the freshness of fruit or add any sugar, will revolutionize the fresh produce industry and alleviate some child nutrition concerns, interesting more kids in eating fruit instead of junk food.

If any readers have tried this product, how does it taste? What is it like? Fizzy fruit is now on sale at 7-Eleven and Wal-Mart in 15 Southern States.
But the company needs to change its hard-to-navigate website.

I have to disagree with those who think that the most controversial moment from last night’s “Golden Globes” awards show telecast was Sacha Baron Cohen’s turn at the mic, when he described the testicles of his co-star. That was gross.
But far worse was the award for Best Motion Picture-Drama: “Babel,” starring Mr. Skankelina, Brad Pitt.
Those who read my movie reviews know that this movie is anti-American, pro-illegal alien, and pan-Islamist. It’s among my picks for worst movies of 2006 (my belated list coming soon). Read my review.
The Debbie’s Notes version of this movie:

1) Americans are selfish, mean, spoiled, self-absorbed, incompetent, and treat others horribly when they’re on vacation.
2) Illegal aliens are hard-working, loyal maids and housekeepeers who raise Americans’ kids for them. They are better than the Americans and deserve to live and work here illegally. Unfortunately, the evil Border Patrol and wicked Immigration and Customs Enforcement Detention and Removal Operations treat them like dirt. Then, the rich, spoiled, self-absorbed Americans fire them.
3) Muslims in North Africa are pleasant, kind, doting Arabs who love Americans, just want peace, and will go out of their way to help evil, spoiled, selfish Americans and save their lives. These Muslims are also unfairly targeted and accused by the U.S. and tourists as terrorists, when it’s simply false.
AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST:
4) Japanese deaf girls whose mothers commit suicide are big sluts who walk around with no underpants and flash their naked crotches at anyone and everyone.
Yup, this was the award for Best Dramatic Film. Nothing Golden nor truthful about the Globe in this movie.
And don’t forget the response of creepy, far-left “Babel” director,
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, when he accepted his award:

Governor [Schwarzenegger}, I have my [immigration] papers, I swear.

If only you didn’t, Senor Inarritu. If only you didn’t.

The pretentious Sacha Baron Cohen winning the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy? Well, you already know what I think of that: “Borat: The Joke’s on You, America.”

This is why Condoleezza Rice a/k/a “Condi Clueless” needs to be fired. While she’s wasted umpteen days trying to shove Israel into a fake solution of a conflict that will never end, she could have–and should have–concentrated on defeating Gucci Glasses Daniel Ortega in the Nicaraguan Presidential elections. But she didn’t. I warned about and predicted this in both 2005 and 2006. Danny made a comeback–sworn in, last week.
He claims he’s different now–no longer a Communist, but a “socialist.” From the looks of his new-found boyfriend, this weekend, I’d say, “Same ‘ole, same ‘ole.” This weekend, Iranian Prez Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made his first visit ever to Nicaragua in an effort to recruit friends to his anti-American agenda. No lie. That was his expressly stated purpose. And it appears from these pics that he was quite successful. I’ve provided a little Mahmoud/Danny theme song to go along with your viewing. While I like the beautiful, classy Toni Tennille’s version better, I gotta say the Justin Guarini version is far more appropriate (song written by Evil Zionists).

“When the Others Turn You Off, Who’ll Be Turning You On? I Will. I Will. I Wi-i-i-i-i-ll . . . “


“Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That“



Danny & Mahmoud Party With Nicaraguan Muslim Community




The Radical Chic Captain & Tennille:

. . . use their employer e-mail addresses to send obscene messages and death threats. Real geniuses.
The latest Einstein is Sal Benavidez, who is the facility manager at NSSI Sources & Services, Inc. in Houston. Incredibly, this intellectually-challenged individual managed to make it to the higher management echelons of his company:

cunt!

NSSI is a waste management company that handles hazardous and radioactive waste, and, incredibly, the mercurial and indiscreet Mr. Benavidez manages a facility that does this. Not exactly the kind of guy you want in such a sensitive job, since he easily goes nuclear and doesn’t have the slightest amount of discretion not to do so from work using his employer’s e-mail address.
If I were a terrorist looking for radioactive and hazardous waste with which to poison Americans, this is exactly the kind of guy I’d target for bribery or blackmail. He’s not very bright.
Benavidez’s boss, by the way, is NSSI Sources and Services, Inc. President, R. D. Gallagher. E-mail him about the kind of “management” he’s hiring to manage poisonous, hazardous waste.

On this site, I’ve detailed several cases of Muslim criminals, terrorist, and others using burkas and niqabs (full Muslim face veils) to try to elude law enforcement and cover up crimes. There’s the niqab cop-killer, the burka Hezbollah terrorist, and burka burka jewel thieves.
The latest burka-clad crime news is that Islamic terrorist and July 21 British bomber, Yassin Omar, fled London dressed as a woman in a burka. From Yahoo News UK:

Yassin Omar was captured on CCTV at Golders Green coach station in north London and at Birmingham coach station disguised in the traditional Muslim women’s dress.
He was picked up on the CCTV just a day after the attempted attacks, Woolwich Crown Court was told.

Burka Terrorist & London Bomber Yassin Omar

Prosecuting counsel Nigel Sweeney said: “CCTV shows him and his fiancee at Golders Green coach station and him at Birmingham coach station that evening disguised in the burka.”
He was eventually arrested at a house in Birmingham by armed police on Wednesday July 27.

And Muslims wonder why we object to the wearing of burkas and niqabs (full face veils) by witnesses in court, those wishing to cross our borders, and those taking driver’s license pictures.
Actually, they don’t wonder. They know. They just want this behavior to continue by their burka-costumed terrorist and criminal co-religionists. Or they’d be in the streets, protesting it.
Don’t hold your breath for that to ever happen.

Yesterday, on his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh read an e-mail that cited my Sunday post about “24.” Viewers were challenging Rush’s support for “24” because of the apparent propaganda, which I detailed in my post.
Rush posted the transcript and audio on his site, and linked to the post. Thanks, Rush!:

El Rushbo Impatient with Ornery “24” Critics
January 15, 2007
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

I must admit, I’m a little impatient with some of you people who are sending me caustic notes about the first two episodes of “24” last night. For example, I have two of them here, let me just share them with you. These are all from the subscribers at RushLimbaugh.com, members of 24/7. “Dear Rush, please read the following. It’s a column by Debbie Schlussel regarding this season’s PC bent on ’24’. Can’t we have one series which deals with the reality of Islam?” Next one. “Rush: I have mixed feelings about the new ’24’ season. I love the action, but I hate the limp-wristed liberal political correctness attitude toward the Muslims. Also, the undertone of bringing up all the mistakes of previous administrations and trying to make people fearful the Bush administration is trying to do the same. You probably don’t see it that way, but that’s how I felt about it. Regards and kudos, signed Richard.” There are a bunch of others who think that what we have here is a politically incorrect liberal bent on this program and on “24”, and that the Muslims are getting soft treatment and so forth.

Read the rest. Listen to the audio.

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE ****
What’s up the with the Transportation Security Administration and it’s ever-changing, shoddily-enforced, absurd rules regarding carrying liquids on board flights? I’ve written several entries on this (including here and here).
The latest comes in from today’s Baltimore Sun. Apparently, there’s a new development at Baltimore’s BWI Airport:
If you buy wine “to taste” at BWI’s Baci Bar & Grill, which is before the security checkpoint, they can bring you the bottles to take on the flight. Up to two bottles full per person.
Kudos to Baci’s enterprising owner, Germano Fabiani, who managed to “work the syndicate” and get the TSA to allow for his luxury wine what they won’t allow for our basic and necessary toiletries:

Squishing Tiny Toiletries in a Bag?:
Silly New TSA Liquid Policy Allows 2 Bottles of These

Just a few days before Christmas, Fabiani kicked off Baci’s wine program. Generally speaking, the only liquids allowed onboard an aircraft over the 3-ounce limit are those bought in the secure boarding area. However, Baci is located before the security checkpoint. So, Fabiani and the BWI folks have worked out an arrangement. Passengers can taste wines at the restaurant and then buy one or two bottles. Those bottles then will be transported to the plane and handed to passengers right before boarding.
Does that mean they can drink that wine on the flight?
“[Passengers] could drink it, if they carried their own wine openers,” Fabiani says. “But, [security rules dictate that] you can’t carry a wine opener.”

Well, that (the exclusion of wine openers) makes me feel so much safer. Not.
Please explain to me why I must cram my liquid and cream toiletries into a tiny quart-sized bag in 3-ounce or less containers. But people can take two wine bottles full of liquid on the flight. After all, that amount of alcohol could NEVER be made into a bomb, right? There’s no such thing as a molotov cocktail, is there?
Time to either get rid of these ridiculous liquid rules for Joe and Josephine traveler, or enforce them fully. The status quo is simply stupid.
If it’s okay for Baci Bar & Grill’s wine, it should be okay for your toothpaste and shampoo. Enough is enough. Time to stop looking things (ie., liquids). And well past time to start looking for people (ie., profiling–which works far better; ask the Israelis).
Baci is the Italian word for “kisses.” How appropriate, since Baci liquids come on board in far larger quantities than a quart-sized bag, while the rest of us get the kiss-off.
Cheers.
**** UPDATE, 01/16/07: Add to this the fact that the TSA at BWI Airport has the second highest rate of missing uniforms and ID cards–at least 426 of them–and this makes the new wine liquid policy even more of a joke . . . and a danger.

The NHL product (the game, the “competition,” the non-stars) has gotten so boring, substandard, and expensive, the St. Louis Blues started a new trend to fill the stands a little more.
Team owner Dave Checketts fed the audience dinner. Saturday’s Blues crowd more than doubled the average and nearly filled the Scottrade Center, as spectators got to choose between hot dog or chicken fingers entree; popcorn, peanuts, or potato chips snack; and a soft drink–all at no extra charge to ticket-holders.
And the food gimmick worked. Attendance reached 17,868 for the free-food-fest, while only 9 times, this season has the Blues reported a crowd of at least 10,000. They drew as few as 5,410 fans in their 23 previous home games. The arena has a capacity of 19,022.
And the Blues won the game, too, scoring 6 hot dogs to the L.A. King’s 5 chicken wings. . . er, goals.

Attn, NHL: @ Blues Games, Food > Hockey
With the rocketing NHL prices making the game out of reach to its blue collar and middle class fans, you may see more of this in the future in all but a few markets (like the constantly sold out Detroit Red Wings games). And it’s a good economic trend for consumers and families, if not for gazillionaire owners and players whose respective ticket prices and salaries are still too high.
Welcome back to reality, National Hockey League.
