Damian Brooks; “They take a scale mock up of the helicopter, with seats and consoles and hatches and all, drop it into a pool, roll it over underwater, and teach you to get out before you drown.”
Andy McCarthy, on lesser known facts of the Bush “spy” scandal;
Of course, if a Republican President — acting during a shooting-war while American forces are in harm’s way against a foreign enemy which has killed nearly 3000 Americans in a domestic attack and constantly announces that it is planning even more devastating strikes — were to ignore restrictions in a wiretap statute in order to set up an early warning system to prevent domestic attacks, the legal analysis would be different, and such blatantly illegal domestic spying would obviously be grounds for impeachment … if not execution.

Oh, did I say Bush? Sorry – meant to say Clinton.
From the comments – a simple way to show support for the Danes – a petition is here.
Start by clicking on “kontakt os” (contact us) in the left side of the screen. Then, in the following screen, you’ll see a map and some phonenumbers. beneath them it says “Skriv til os” (write us) click it, and you’ll be asked for (from top to bottom) “Dit navn” (your name), “telefon nr.” (telephone number, which you dont have to write), next one you’ll recognise, “Tr�ffes bedst” (can be contacted between), “vedr.” (topic) and finally “indhold” (here you can write them). Please dont embarrass the west by writing racist remarks and such. Give them something to think about instead.
Comments are open for others.
Thanks, Kate. I’ve just signed the petition–well into the nine thousands! I’ve bought my Tuborg–for my husband (I wish the Danes made wine!)–and am off to buy some Arla cheese. I’m a teacher in the public gulag–whoops! system– somewhere in Canada. It’s a microcosm of the surrender monkey mentality of the appeaser states: the worse the kid, the more the system excuses and downloads the responsibilty for the kid’s egregious behaviour onto the teachers, whose hands are tied more and more by politically correct, bureaucratic red tape. There’s almost nothing left in the discipline cupboard because we have to pretend that everyone’s equal and we’re not supposed to hurt anyone’s feelings. (Funny, teachers do all the heavy lifting and no one seems to care about our integrity, our rights, or our feelings.) Gross irresponsibility on the part of parents or kids is constantly glossed over and, unless it’s at the classroom level, it’s rarely effectively dealt with. (I recently told both administrators at my school to quit with the excuse making and the devising of coverups for my most challenged student–of a visible minority group–who, in general, has responded very well to my tough love approach.) Despite their prominent “Equity Policies”, the public school systems of this country practise hypocrisy of the worst kind: the “victim” card is allowed to be played over and over again by the most irresponsible participants. Irony of ironies, the real victims–sacrificial ones, at that–are those who take seriously their obligations to behave in a responsible, moderate, and fair manner. Oh, Canada. Kyrie eleison.
A poster said recently that Senator Dallaire is unbalanced. The writer/editors of this article below reflect the same “unbalanced”.

Judy is right — buy something Danish.
But what do the Danes make? Arla cheeses (Havarti, blue, camembert), seafood, or maybe you know a child who needs some lego.
Kate — how about accumulating a list of Danish products on the blog?
