Several alleged bombing incidents in Britain’s subway and a bus, AGAIN, this morning, including an alleged Palestinian-style bomb containing nails (designed to do maximum damage, death, and disfigurement).
If this really happened, then, gee, I wonder who’s behind it. I would expect my friends at ADC, MPAC, CAIR, and all of the mosques to tell us, yet again, that Islam condemns terrorism. Sounds like the constant leftist cry that the Soviet Union wasn’t the REAL Communism. I’m sure we’ll get yet another claiming that we don’t know who is behind the incidents. If these incidents truly happened, I suppose it was the Samoan terrorists who did it. You know, the ones who did 9/11?
I wonder if Tony Blair is going to continue his “,” now. Stop conferencing, stop “dialoguing,” and start doing something–like restricting Al-Qaeda and radical Islam in your country.
Even if this is prank or a fraud, it shows how easy it would be to perpetrate these incidents, yet again. And why the British policy of will bring more of these.

You’ve probably seen Ann Coulter’s column, today, against John Roberts. Obviously she disagrees with , but Ann–as always–does raise some interesting and worthy points. We are friends and she’s a brilliant writer, but, on this rare occasion, I hope Ann is wrong.
One interesting thing in her column, though. In the second sentence of her column, Ann writes of Roberts: “he probably doesn’t know who Jay-Z is.”

Jay-Z with one of his more normal fans
Guess what? Not too long ago, Ann didn’t know who Jay-Z was either. Ann and I used to be regulars on Mancow’s Morning Madhouse, the morning radio show out of Chicago. Mancow asked both of us: “Jay-Z and ORD–which one is the rapper, and which one is the abbreviation for Chicago’s O’Hare Airport?” Ann didn’t know. No matter, though, since she’s almost always knowledgeable and right on the important things. Hopefully, her view on Roberts is one of those rare instances of Jay-Z vs. ORD.
Yes, I know, Jay-Z is no longer a rapper. He retired and is now a music industry exec better known as Beyonce’s boyfriend/fiance/whatever. As I said, Ann knows about the important things.

Tony Blair is trying to figure out a wimpy way out of facing facts: That Islamists commit terror, and they need to be dealt with harshly. So, he’s got a nice, touchy-feely idea that only liberal “outreachers” could love: an Islamic extremism conference with Islamic extremist leaders and clerics. I call this idiocy, “dialoguism”–so obsessed liberals are with the word and act of “dialogue”–no matter how odious the “dialogue” partner–you’d think it was sex.
Can you imagine Winston Churchill having a Nazism conference with members of the Nazi Party and the German-British Bund? How nice that “dialogue” would be. Thank goodness, he went to war and killed people. Otherwise, our friends the Brits–Hugh Grant, Tony Blair, and the whole lot–would be eating sauerkraut and weinerschnitzel, right now, if not being, themselves, cooked in an industrial strength Auschwitz oven.

The “former” Black Panthers are putting out a new product: hot sauce, called “Burn Baby Burn: A Taste of the Sixties Revolutionary Hot Sauce.” We’ve already gotten a “taste of the Sixties” and it’s not very appealing to the palate or anything else. Here’s a marketing tip: Get a shorter name . . . and stop attacking capitalism and White people.
The Black Panthers killed cops and many, like H. Rap Brown a/k/a Khalid Abdullah Al-Amin (in prison for killing cops, but, surprise, defended by the Council on American Islamic Relations), have embraced radical Islam. They support the freeing of all Black criminals from prison and free healthcare for Blacks only, funded by all of us White “oppressors”. Not exactly reasons to buy their product and support their Huey P. Newton Foundation. Here are ten more reasons to ignore, baby, ignore “Burn Baby Burn” hot sauce, if it ever reaches the shelves of your local super-market.
It gets worse. The Black Panthers are hoping the name of the sauce evokes memories of the 1965 Watts Riots in Los Angeles. But more than 30 people died there, at least 1,000 were wounded, and hundreds of buildings burnt to mere ashes–all because of the pro-violence Black Panthers. Hot Sauce to poke fun at these people’s deaths? What’s next? Auschwitz orange juice and 9/11 butter?

Looks like Scotty was beamed up for the last time. James Doohan, the actor who played “Scotty” on “Star Trek”–and was often asked to beam up Capt. Kirk, Mr. Spock, and others–was himself “beamed up” for the last time. Doohan died, today, at age 85. “Beam me up, Scotty!” has become a part of American culture. Current prisoner and former U.S. Congressman Jim Traficant was often heard on the floor of the floor of the House uttering “Beam me up, Mr. Speaker,” decrying the lack of intelligent life on this planet.

Islamic terrorism is the single most important issue facing this country. But to hear liberal Senators, like Ted Kennedy and Chuck Schumer, and abortion hacks (and hags) at NARAL and Planned Parenthood, it’s as if 9/11, 7/7, etc. never happened. Their attacks on Supreme Court nominee John Roberts focus exclusively on his position regarding Roe v. Wade.
(Regardless of your position on abortion, Roberts’ well-reasoned suggestion, in a brief, that the 1973 decision had no basis in the Constitution, is backed by Justice Harry Blackmun, himself, who admitted to reporters Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong, in “The Brethren,” that he created the right out of whole cloth–that the right to privacy was founded on Mayo Clinic doctrine, not the U.S. Constitution.)
Terrorism is clearly a far more pressing issue, and on that, Roberts is right on target. Roberts demonstrated his commitment to fight court-system coddling of terrorists and the creation of rights for these murderers that don’t exist. Roberts’ position on Salim Ahmed Hamdan (a Gitmo terrorist who was Osama Bin Laden’s personal driver)is far more important than his position on Jane Roe. On Friday, Roberts–as part of a federal appeals court panel–backed the Bush Administration’s plan to let special panels of military officers conduct trials of terrorism suspects detained at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, overturning a lower-court decision that has blocked the “military commissions” for the past eight months.

John Roberts: Confirm this man . . .

So this terrorist doesn’t go free!
The ruling was an important affirmation of the government’s right to deny “enemy combatant” detainees access not only to civilian courts but to the more formal proceedings of military courts-martial, in which they would enjoy additional rights and legal protections. The decision in Hamdan, joined in by John Roberts, backs up President Bush’s decision that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to detainees that Bush declares as enemy combatants and that the provisions of the Conventions are not enforceable by U.S. courts in lawsuits brought by foreigners.
This is additionally important because Roberts–if he makes it to the Court, and he will–will likely get a similar case, that of Jose Padilla a/k/a Abdullah Al-Muhajir, soon. Padilla’s lawyer, yesterday, appeared before a federal appeals court, demanding that his client (an Al-Qaeda procurer of dirty bombs) be charged or freed. But the government wants the ability to indefinitely detain enemy combatants intent on murdering Americans. The issue, whether a U.S. citizen seized on U.S. soil can be designated an enemy combatant is sure to come before the Supreme Court soon. The trial court, in South Carolina, ruled for the terrorist Hamdan’s lawyer, something that needs to be reversed. Watch for Roberts to be on the right side–the side of the safety and security of the American people–of that, as he was on Hamdan.
Next time you hear Kennedy, Schumer, militant women’s groups et al squawking about abortion, ask them why they don’t seem concerned with the safety of all Americans (not just pregnant women) from terrorists? The right to life–to live in freedom, from terrorism, etc.–is the ultimate civil right. Remember that. They don’t.
It’s disastrous to use anachronistic 9/10 liberal criteria for a post-9/11 Supreme Court nominee.

Yesterday, a true American hero and patriot, General William Westmoreland, passed away.
Gen. Westmoreland was Commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam and fought in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. A colonel by the time he was 30, Westmoreland always vigorously defended his country, whether on the battlefield or in the minefield of verbal assaults by the media.

In 1982, he bravely sued CBS over a defamatory documentary. The question “is not about whether the war in Vietnam was right or wrong, but whether in our land a television network can rob an honorable man of his reputation,” Westmoreland said. He decried the time and effort he had to spend correcting “errors, misinterpretations, judgments and falsehoods” perpetrated by the press. Words for all media to consider as we continue our presence in Iraq and the media continues its non-stop assault on our military and its leaders. (The CBS case was settled.)
Although he retired from the military in 1972, Westmoreland continued to visit Vietnam veteran groups throughout the 50 states, and didn’t make a ton of money out of it (the way today’s retired Generals–Powell, Schwartzkopf, and Zinni–do).
General William Westmoreland, a great American.

I’m no fan of reality TV, and this summer’s crop is the worst yet. I’ve written critically about the annoying ABC News diva-fest, “.” But Bravo’s “Being Bobby Brown” makes “Hooking Up” and everything else look like “Sixty Minutes.” The show, following Bobby Brown and wife Whitney Houston, makes clear that the only humane and sane one is their poor, 12-year-old daughter, Bobbi Kristina. If living with these two nut-job parents isn’t mental child abuse–or neglect, I’m not sure what is. The show is horrid and disgusting.
Here are some other “high”(low)-lights of this mortifying, scatological show–pure garbage:
* Brown bragging how he once had to dig fecal material out of Houston. Sick, sick, sick! (He goes into more graphic detail than we will here.)
* When Houston and Brown go to their bedroom mid-day for sex, after Brown gets out of prison (for one of the following: violence, substance abuse, failing to pay child support for multiple out-of-wedlock kids), daughter, Bobbi Kristina, cries, “Let me in!” Brown doesn’t allow the daughter in, but does allow in the cameras.

Just What Israel Needed: Bobby & Whitney
(Sharon should have sent them to the Palestinians.)
* Houston calling her daughter fat when trying on pants at a department store. “Those ain’t fittin’! She got body, baby!” Houston shrieks. “If she was a Houston, we wouldn’t have this problem!” No, Whitney, the problem is you and your wacko husband.
* Houston getting mad when fans recognized her in her disguise (a scarf) while on vacation in the Bahamas. Cameras following her not a hint?
* Houston yelling at fans (in the steam room, on vacation, etc., etc., etc.)
* Brown putting hemorrhoid cream on his face to reduce a puffy face after a night of partying. Apparently, he watched that episode of Oprah, too.
Proof, all, that trash comes in all colors, shapes, sizes, and socio-economic strata. This show’s only purpose is the unnecessary documentation that Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston are even more the epitome of low-lifes than earlier diagnosed.

Boy, the Brits are odd. They welcome radical Muslims into their midst and protect them. Then, they are surprised when radical Muslims blow up London.
Then, there’s Roman Polanski. He’s the director who fled the U.S. after pleading guilty to raping a 13-year-old girl in 1977 (at Jack Nicholson’s home). In those days, that was really a crime. Today, it’s the way to get the #1 CD on the charts–ie., R. Kelly. Polanski lives in France, where he is free from extradition to the U.S. and won’t have to face justice.
Polanski is suing Vanity Fair for defamation about the rape and his other sexual exploits after his wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Charles Manson followers. The rub is that Polanski is suing the magazine in Britain. He won’t appear there in person, because he doesn’t want the Brits to extradite him to the U.S. Yet, the Brits are allowing him to proceed with his suit, via video teleconference.
What good is an extradition treaty with Britain, if it allows Plaintiffs to benefit from their legal system, when it benefits them, but evade it (ie., extradition), when it does not? If this is par for the British course–and it seems to be–you can’t help but feel that they bring things upon themselves with their ludicrous sense of fair play. Especially when it comes to the U.S. and western interests.
Then there is the question of how a man who raped a young girl, pled guilty to it, and fled justice, has the chutzpah to pursue a defamation claim regarding his sex life. Hello?! . . . .
And his bringing up the Holocaust to justify his unseemly life is just beyond disgusting. He gets away with it, though, because as a liberal Hollywoodite, even if a fugitive escapee to France, he’s part of the immune class.

I’m no fan of Martha Stewart. I’m not one of the many women who defended the “Domestic Divas” crime of lying to the FBI and altering evidence to obstruct justice. and her phony concern for ex-cons’ rights (which she, strangely, seems to have forgotten all about since she’s left the slammer).
But is Martha Stewart’s crime equal to that of lying, sleazoid Gangsta rapper, Kimberly Jones a/k/a “Lil’ Kim”? I don’t think so.
Martha Stewart lied to protect her sale of stock based on inside information. Jones perjured herself multiple times to cover up for thug members (are there any other kind) of her “posse” involved in a shoot-out. During her trial, Jones had the gall to compare the shoot-out to 9/11! Protecting gun-toting criminals is not the same as trying to hide an insider trading stock deal. It’s a lot worse.

But a liberal, do-gooder judge, sees it differently–and is bending over backwards to show his White-guilt for sentencing the trashy gun-moll trollop, who’s suddenly found G-d. After all, she’s Black. In sending Jones to prison for only a year and a day (she faced up to 20 years), Judge Gerard E. Lynch, said he couldn’t sentence “a young Black woman entertainer” and “an African-American woman who is popular with a different segment of society” to a significantly longer prison term than the “older White woman entertainer” Martha Stewart.
Puh-leeze. Stewart sells phony blue-blood aura through tort recipes and high thread-count pastel sheets. “Lil’ Kim” sells the most vile, base version of, what Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan called, “defining deviancy down.” To compare the two, in the name of racial equality, is just absurd–and intellectually dishonest.
