Just to know he had his hopes raised.

They get stuff like analagees and stuff like that.

30 years ago;

Thoughtful people worried that we had reached “the limits of growth,” the point at which the world would begin running out of natural resources. Prime minister Pierre Trudeau warned Canadians, most notoriously in his Dec. 28, 1975, end of year interview: “We haven’t been able to make it work, the free enterprise system.”

SABC News;

[South Africa’s] Health minister, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, says cooperation between South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique has led to a 90% reduction in new malaria infections in the three countries.
Tshabala-Msimang says this has been achieved through the use of Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), an agent that kills the malaria-carrying mosquitoes. She was speaking at one of the commissions of the People’s Assembly in Bizana, which was discussing the health situation in the country. […]
“… They wanted to tell us that we mustn’t use DDT for indoor residual spraying because it destroys vegetables and… fauna and we just said, ‘Look in Europe they conquered malaria because they used DDT’… The Italians told us that, ‘Don’t listen to what they are saying, we conquered malaria because we just killed the mosquitoes’ (sic),” said Tshabalala-Msimang.

Good for them.

[On Sept. 20]“… the UN Human Rights Council launched a special agenda item singling out Israel for permanent indictment. The special debate criticizing Israel allowed the Palestinian representative to take the floor and accuse Israel of “atrocities”, Syria to charge Israel with “Judaising” the Golan, and the Islamic group to protested Israel’s entry of Syrian airspace. Cuba on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement complained Israel was excavating around the Al-Aqsa mosque. Iran, Kuwait, Algeria, and Venezuela and others also joined in condemning the Jewish state.”

University;

“Yes, diversity in all things. Except, of course, in thought. Presumably, Professor Stanton is also “stunned”, “appalled” and “deeply offended” by the over-representation of, say, gay people in the spheres of arts and drama, or of women in the caring professions, or of Indian employees in Indian restaurants. Perhaps some recalibration of those industries is also in order, to ensure suitable diversity.

…that Americans would be arrested for asking the wrong questions.

The left’s alignment…

with Islamic fascism…

…comes full circle.

He goes on to call Noam Chomsky “among one of the most capable of those from your own side,” and mentions global warming and “the Kyoto accord.”

“My master was so kind to me that I was always glad to do his bidding, and proud to labor for him as much as my young years would permit.” *
Update –“How we flyin’ today, massuh?

Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Ben Sargent was arrested in 1998 ” and subsequently convicted of public lewdness stemming from an incident at an Austin adult bookstore near the University of Texas.”

“The merger of the Left & Islamofascism continues apace.”

Keep your eye on the sky today.
The pigs, they be a-flyin’.

Not anti-war. On the other side;

Many Democrats have anticipated that, at best, Petraeus and U.S. ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker would present a mixed analysis of the success of the current troop surge strategy, given continued violence in Baghdad. But of late there have been signs that the commander of U.S. forces might be preparing something more generally positive. [House Majority Whip James] Clyburn said that would be “a real big problem for us.”

Discussion at NRO;

The New York Times ran a piece Monday by two non-“neoconservatives” Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack arguing that the war in Iraq can be won. Is this indicative of some kind of mood change afoot? Could we really win this war? Could the rhetoric in Washington really change? National Review Online asked a group of experts.

Please do not adjust your sets. The source of the high-pitched whining you may hear in the blog background this morning appears to be coming from a leak in this link.

Lawyer Daniel Brodsky confuses the Canadian public with someone who gives a rat’s ass about Peter Whitmore;

Daniel Brodsky told the Winnipeg Free Press that Canada would be a much safer country if dangerous predators such as Mr. Whitmore could get proper medical treatment instead of being warehoused behind bars before returning to society.
He said it’s clear Mr. Whitmore is suffering from mental illness based on the depravity of his crimes, his disturbing fantasies and a persistent obsession with young boys.
Mr. Brodsky also dismissed suggestions that, because pedophilia is deemed an “incurable mental disorder” by many professionals, there is no hope for someone like Mr. Whitmore.
“We don’t refuse to treat cancer patients because there is no cure,” Mr. Brodsky said yesterday, one day after his former client was given a life sentence under a plea bargain with Saskatchewan justice officials.

I believe we need a new criminal designation for offenders like Whitmore – to fill the gap that “dangerous offender” status has left open – a “no hope” provision.
I kind of like “Dead-Ender”.
Dead-enders would not receive treatment for psychological disorders, therapy or programs of any kind. No state funded efforts at rehabilitation, no visitors, no progress reports, no appearances before the parole board. No life extending medical care.
The primary obligation of the justice system to “dead enders” would be to cease wasting our money on them.
Then, dead-enders like Peter Whitmore might finally receive the prison sentence they deserve – three meals a day, rabbit-ear TV, and the promise of a dignified burial upon release.
Maybe throw in a rope.

I am currently awaiting your full response to the allegations which is due on 18 July 2007.

Keep an eye on this one.

Gateway Pundit has the charts;

Democrats and the media have set new guidelines for America.
The national sacrifice limit will now be set at 4000, max.
Anytime the US records 4000 military losses in 5 1/2 years it will be recognized under the new rules as a horrible defeat.
The US will then promptly surrender to the nearest enemy.

They might have set it at 0.
