Good evening, welcome to the Wednesday Edition of SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, in keeping with the political season, we present for your enjoyment and consideration a song, from Bob Dylan’s 1983 album Infidels, which warns of the guy with the “harmonious tongue” who emerges from nowhere to “catch you when your troubles feel like they weigh a ton.”
Here it is, then: Bob Dylan’s Man Of Peace.
The thread is open for your Reader Tips.
Borat is baaaaak.
Ja. Ich bin ein Bruno from Linz, Austria, Putzi.
With blackface? Ja.
Watch and wait for the left’s outrage.

“First look at the hilarious Bruno (trailer)
THE Sun has got its hands on the first trailer from what is sure to be the most outrageous movie of the year – Bruno. And from what we have seen it looks like SACHA BARON COHEN’s follow up to Borat is ready to shock.
To see the hilarious clip, watch below:
In the film, which opens on July 10, British comic Cohen plays a gay Austrian TV presenter called Bruno.
The trailer shows Bruno on a talk show with his black adopted baby saying: “I gave him a traditional African name – OJ.”
A shocked Afro-Caribbean member of the audience jumps up and replies: “What?””

“Cowardly Whites Fail Again: Officer Powell Resigns
In stark, raving fear of the black race (and white liberal attorneys), the Dallas Police Department has apparently pressured Officer Robert Powell into resigning. The young, three-year veteran officer accosted a car for running a red light. The car happened to be occupied by several of black people. The rest is history. “A nation of cowards,” black Attorney General Eric Holder said.
Naturally, the important information is withheld from the public. What has Officer Powell’s experience been in the past in similar circumstances? What influenced his conduct, if anything, beyond the minimal, professional responsibility he executed, if anything was actually unreasonable or unlawful, or even discourteous?
“My mother is dying!” This desperate plea was supposed to nullify all the previous experience and training of Powell. This cry was to trump all other considerations, all law, written or customary. This was to throw out all protocol for the safety of the officer and the those accosted.
Officer Powell, of course, did not know that the motorists included NFL player, Houston Texans running back Ryan Moats. (Moats did not make an issue of that.) Nor did he have any evidence that anything they said was true. The only evidence he had was that the driver had broken the law. He acted accordingly. He did his job. He didn’t search anyone for drugs, however. How courteous. He didn’t search anyone for weapons. How brave. He didn’t even search the car. How positively kind.
For this, the world demands his resignation. He dared insult a black family.”

batb – do you seriously think that the Queen actually gave away a ring worn by Queen Victoria, and the ‘earliest copy of Henry V by Shakespeare, and something by Newton? These are heritage items and hardly suitable for gifts. And a pony??? That list is a hoax!
Obviously, one would assume.
Obasm: what the United States has been going through for the past eight months or so.
But by now, they’re on to the cigarette.
Don’t smoke in bed, kids!

Open Question: Can anyone tell me PRECISELY what the protesters in London ACTUALLY want? I mean, assuming they’re not anarchists, then WHAT precisely do they want?
POWER!
ET, how are you so sure?

“Her Royal Highness bequeathed to the Obamas one of the earliest known copies of William Shakespeare’s Henry V. She also presented him with the framed orginal sheet music of John Newton’s “Amazing Grace.” To the Obama daughters, the Queen gave a dollhouse-sized replica of Windsor Castle with a functioning train station … They also received a prize Shetland pony. Mrs. Obama was given a ruby ring commissioned and worn by Queen Victoria.”
So what that the ring was “commissioned and worn by Queen Victoria”? Do you know how much jewelry the Queen owns? Her giving Michelle Obama this ring would be akin to Imelda Marcos giving her a pair of shoes.
It was ONE of the earliest known copies of Shakespeare’s Henry V. ‘Lots where that came from.
As for the Shetland pony and Windsor Castle replica: Why not? The Queen’s a horse expert and owns a ton of them, ponies too, one would presume, and the Windsor Castle replica with working train would be right up her alley. Have you ever seen her and Princess Margaret’s doll house in Kensington Palace? Working chandeleirs and everything.
I see no evidence that this list is a hoax. Please furnish evidence that it is or withdraw your claim!
Gone! Singing lessons anyone?

ET, I’m still waiting for verification that the Henry V, music of Amazing Grace, the Shetland pony, and the replica of Windsor Castle were NOT given to the Obamas by the Windsors.
And, yes, I “seriously think” that these are the gifts the Queen of England gave to the President of the United States and his family. Just a signed photo of herself would be an insult. She’s a phenomenally wealthy woman, so these gifts would not be out of her range at all. As I mentioned above, she’s got more jewels than she knows what to do with. What better purpose to put one of her less spectacular gems to than provide some historical BLING to Michelle Obama?
You’re always asking for proof of people’s opinions, so it seems only equitable that you provide proof that the Queen’s gift list is “a hoax,” as you put it. Otherwise, my gullibility is in question, n’est-ce pas?
Vitruvius, you might add why you presume that the gift list is a hoax.
batb – the list hasn’t been given as an official statement. The only official mention of a gift was the traditional one that the Queen always gives to visiting dignitaries and heads of state – a picture of herself and the Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen does not give gifts (while the PM might do so).
The list is specious and yes, your gullibility is in question. Do you seriously think that the Queen gives such gifts to each visiting head of state?
A pony? How do they get it back? Where do they keep it?
And there is no reason to give any jewel, not one single one, that belonged to Queen Victoria, to anyone. Those jewels aren’t hers to give away; they belong to the heritage of the British Crown and the British people.
So, yes, I think you’ve been gullible. This list, including the list of the Obama’s gifts (M&M candies, a signed copy of his book, etc)..were an April Fools joke.
OK, I’m gullible!
On the other hand, I find nothing amusing about making an April Fool’s joke about what the Queen and/or Obama didn’t actually give one another, especially as making the Queen the butt of this kind of joke is rather unfunny. She’s an easy target, so I don’t find any joke made at her expense very amusing.
And, on the OTHER hand, the real joke — and it’s a bad one — is Obama’s gift of an i-pod to the Queen! As you point out, only a narcissist could have pulled that one off!
