...nice. I enjoy seeing incumbents unseated.

CORRECTION: He's not unseating the incumbent but did beat out a previous Mayor. Almost the same thing.

 
Clinton plotting path for 2012?

Probably. That's one of two logical conclusions for her behavior (the other being an extreme sense of entitlement, and possibly delusion, prompt her and Bill Clinton to continue).

Michael Crowley writes on the Clinton's siege mentality, and why they just can't let go of what's turning into an impossible dream - no matter who suffers.

...sorry about the light posting over the weekend. Saturday was a very long day at work and I ended up delivering flowers yesterday (a side job that actually pays pretty good). Anyway...more to follow!

...somebody arrived on CombatEffective today via Ask.com with the following question "Why the Death Penalty is a Good Thing".

Here's the search string. CombatEffective's on the first page of results. :-)

UPDATE: I actually titled a post that way...heh. That explains that.

If the UN were worth their salt, they would send in an American led force and depose the current gov't. They'd then distribute the aid.

...of money. This 'royal couple' has received $1.5M for an interview in Hello magazine. Because he's 11th in line to the throne.

CORRECTION: At today's exchange rate, the obscene amount of money would be $1M. Thank you. That is all.

 
Algore: Burma cyclone George Bush's fault...
Written by CombatRob   
Wednesday, 07 May 2008

...okay, he didn't quite say it that way but this is shameless opportunism at work. Funny, when the Administration highlights the real threat of Islamic terrorism, they are called fearmongers. When Algore says that 60,000 died from a cyclone brought about by a global warming theology still disputed today (except at the UN), the response...rising algore, inc. stock prices.

TheAgitator (aka Radley Balko) has a post up on a particularly outrageous drug raid. So outrageous, that I'm going to recommend donating to a fund set up to help with his medical bills and defense fund. Read through the thread and if feel so compelled, donate a couple dollars to help.

 
Totten on moderate Islam
Written by CombatRob   
Wednesday, 07 May 2008

When I was in Zanzibar with the CombatWife, we had a similar experience with the Muslims there. I asked a man we'd come to know (after a couple of days) what he thought about the conflict in Iraq, bin Laden, and Islam vs. the West. He looked at me and said, "Shi'ite, Sunni, we don't care. We are just Muslim." He went on to say that they had more problems than difference in theology dating back centuries.

Later that trip and coincidentally on September 11, 2006, an African named "beenie" sold us some music CDs on the street. When I asked him if "beenie" was an African name, he said that "No, it was a nickname" and short for 'bin', as in "bin Laden". When I joked he should be careful about mentioning bin Laden to an American on September 11th, he showed confusion for a moment then made the association...I felt immediately bad because he looked stricken and began to say, "no...no...no....I don't like bin Laden, he is evil...not like him at all"...he about fell over himself trying to disassociate himself from bin Laden. I stopped him and apologized (and bought the CDs).

I must be in a rambling mood today. Anyway, here's the link.
