Thursday Stuff

A few things....


Did you save a friend? You should. More info here.



Canada is apparently an awful country with a history of "repression, exclusion, and exploitation." If the communist-inspired "People's" meme doesn't give you a clue of how bereft of historical and socio-political import and facts this text is, just read it and let your palm find your face on its own.


What a silly person:


I would not have commented on the burning of the Quran by US military in Afghanistan a few days ago if the incident took place or was done by individuals far away – in Florida for example. Many such incidents took place before and were done by ignorant people tarnishing the image of Islam or mocking Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)....
The army represents a whole country – it has seniors who answer for all their deeds. Explaining it with ignorance is a bit far-fetched accusation. The apology of President Obama alone is the least he could do. He owes the Afghan nation and all Muslims around the world -even in the US – more than that. Whoever has done this should answer for his or her deeds. There should be accountability and punishment. Officers and military people get punished for much smaller mistakes and trivial acts in their daily routine. They face sometimes court-martials.



As Korans seem to take precedence over human lives, how many Korans were destroyed when a Tikrit mosque was attacked by a suicide bomber? The article didn't say but seventeen people were killed. How many Bibles, missals and hymnals are destroyed when churches are attacked, usually when people are in them? How many hospitals are attacked? How many people are able to read the Koran? When will there any apologies and reparation for Islamist violence?


When Miss Darwish has these answers, I do hope she will apprise us of them.



Because she's Sarah Palin and she's super-right:


Obama apologizes for the inadvertent Koran burning this week; now the U.S. trained and protected Afghan Army can apologize for killing two of our soldiers yesterday.




Oh look! Victims!


As anti-Muslim rhetoric rises locally and nationally — some of it fueled by the presidential campaign — a group of Chicago-area Muslims is battling back, using tactics including a television ad campaign and public forums against bigotry.


Because people who feel constantly aggrieved and put upon for any reason at all are the true victims in this world.



(Bolsheye spasiba to all)



Remember when Kanye West, like a stuttering man-child, declared George Bush didn't like black people? Yeah, well, think about this when you struggle to forget that too-painful-to-watch plea:


According to the Daily, Kanye West – the same fellow who suggested that President George W. Bush hated black people because he didn’t do enough about Hurricane Katrina – has a charity that spent $572,383 in 2010 and gave $0 to charity. That’s right — $0.

In 2009, Kanye was slightly better – his foundation spent $553,826. A grand total of $583 ended up going to charity. The people who work at the Kanye West Foundation grabbed most of the cash in 2010 (some $340,000); professional fees took up another $111,250.


I guess Kanye West doesn't like needy people.



This is interesting:

Israeli researchers have discovered a gene that increases the lifespan in mice, and may do the same in humans.The researchers, led by Dr. Haim Cohen of the Mina and Everard Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences, teamed up for the study with scientists from Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem's Hebrew University and the Carnegie Mellon University.

"Israeli researchers have discovered a gene that increases the lifespan in mice, and may do the same in humans"

I'd be more excited about this if ;
- they went into more detail concerning the quality of life of these mice, how well they aged, etc
- if people, especially those "in charge," were morally responsible enough to use these knowledge for the benefit of everyone

I like mice.

Mice may be cute but they serve a purpose here. This gene discovery may be used to find treatments for dementia and age-related problems.
