Killer
In February 1982 the secular Syrian government of President Hafez al-Assad faced a mortal threat from Islamic extremists, who sought to topple the Assad regime. How did it respond? President Assad identified the rebellion as emanating from Syria's fourth-largest city — Hama — and he literally leveled it, pounding the fundamentalist neighborhoods with artillery for days. Once the guns fell silent, he plowed up the rubble and bulldozed it flat, into vast parking lots. Amnesty International estimated that 10,000 to 25,000 Syrians, mostly civilians, were killed in the merciless crackdown. Syria has not had a Muslim extremist problem since.Until then, Mumbai will both past and prologue to "how we live now."
We did not wish to be ‘enemies’, but since we have been constructed that way, should not we take our roles as ‘enemies’ a bit more seriously? I cannot speak the language of peace and love anymore. If the war is forced upon us, we will have to accept it. And since our state is too inept to handle it on our behalf, let us debate ways in which we can all participate in this ‘war’, through words, wisdom or actions.
Rabbi Gavriel and Rivka Holtzberg, the beloved directors of Chabad-Lubavitch of Mumbai, were killed during one of the worst terrorist attacks to strike India in recent memory.... Their toddler son, Moshe, managed to escape with his nanny some hours before Indian commandos stormed their building.
Abhijeet Mohitkar,Hyderbad,says:I would say "Don't release any of these Mujahideen but kill them in most torturous way and release this video on net and everywhere in media".
Will there ever be a time when sane people are not having to deconstruct yet another repackaging of Mann's hockey stick, like some endless wack-a-mole game? Mann is back with a new hockey stick and, blow me away with surprise, it looks a heck of a lot like the old hockey stick.
Many people have set out to find it over the years and most failed until Charley Clusker and his expedition decided to give it a go. Along with his party, Clusker had found an ornately carved Spanish galleon sunk in the desert, far from any water and laden with masts, crosses and treasures. He set off not long after to collect the abandoned loot but, much like the elusive ship, was never seen again.
"The room is a windowless old storage shed in Flint, Mich. It is filled with long tables, Mr. Mellon says, and has space for about 400 employees. They must arrive at 6 a.m. each day and stay until 2:30 p.m., with 45 minutes off for lunch. A supervisor roams the aisles, signing people out when they want to use the bathroom. Their job: to do nothing."
The low point? There were so many. I ran to the kitchen to see how our sweet-potato casserole was progressing so I could escape Jane Krakowski's career-low stripper-ish ode to product placement, warbling new lyrics to Gypsy's "You Gotta Get a Gimmick" that listed all the giveaways the live audience would get, everything from a Vudu player to White Castle hamburgers and Crest Whitestrips (probably not a bad idea after gorging on those stomach bombs).
I think we need to spread the word that islamofascists killed in the war on terror or in "suspected terror attacks" be buried with a nice hunk of pork in their mouths? And then do it video tape it and send it to every hostile mosque in the world.

Just wait till a container ship with a nuke on it detonates in an Indian port.
The current attack in India may still spark a war.
Posted by: Eric Blair at November 28, 2008 11:04 AMFor those unfamiliar with the "healing waters" of Soap Lake and the town's recent aquisition of the "World's Largest Lava Lamp", from the 1920's onward it was one of those places that seemed to attract every misfit and oddball in the state. "Smokium" was the name given these mysterious waters, aledgedly by the original native population, although this suspiciously sounds like one of those terms like "heap big" or "how" that I have a hard time imagining being spoken by any native tribal member other than of the Tonto variety. Call me a cynic.
For a time in the early 90's, myself and a few drinking buddies found ourselves drawn to this cosmic center of the Soviet of Washington. The town resembled a weird version of David Lynch's Twin Peaks community....only much weirder. On our first trip we were befriended by a local and were afforded the exclusive ($7.00 and befriendment by a local) opportunity of membership in the Soap Lake Businessman's Club. Upon entering the club through a subterrainian passage via the "World Famous Notares Lodge", we found a seat at the five foot wide Douglas Fir log bar and within the first hour were witness to an ex rodeo clown named Tomcat emptying his pistol into the ceiling of the club (and into the guest rooms of the lodge above), the entertainment for the evening (and every evening) the ancient Miss Bonnie Guitar body blocking our local friend off the stage when his harmonica solo went a bit long, and the amorous attention of the gay town florist who took an interest in one of our traveling companions because he had "arms like a wheat farmer". It immediately for obvious reasons became our favored destination for alcohol fueled road trips and my long suffering significant other at the time grew used to the 4:00AM phone call saying "I'm in Soap Lake, I'm calling from the side car of a Vespa, not sure when I'll be back".
The place had such a bizzare vibe then that the aquisition and construction of the "Worlds Largest Lava Lamp" in the town square only serves to demonstrate how mainstream and conventional the population has become since then.

Looks like the V is resting on the rifle doesn't it?

Never mind
