Pakistan


People think we should wring our hands horribly over Iran?

Hardly. Think Pakistan.

Iran is working on fissionables.

Pakistan has nukes now. Today. On the tips of missiles.

If Pakistan falls, if President Gen. Pervez Musharraf’s secular government teeters and collapses, Islam will have its hands on Pakistan’s entire nuclear arsenal. And then what do you suppose might happen next?

“This Is The Captain Speaking. . .

. . . please, pay no attention to the things you see out your windows.”

An airline crew faced a rebellion when they told passengers they were going to fly on a jet that had lost its wing tip in a runway crash.

The SriLankan Airlines customers had been on the Airbus A340 a day earlier when it sliced through a wing of a stationary British Airways 747 at Heathrow, delaying departure by 24 hours.

So they were amazed to be boarding the same plane next day for the ten-hour flight to Colombo.

When cabin crew then admitted there was still a 5ft wing tip missing, there was “a minor revolt” as seven passengers demanded to be let off the aircraft.

A further two-hour delay followed as their baggage was removed before the aircraft could take off.

Club-class passenger Ian McKie, 54, from Loughton, Essex, said: “We were put up in hotels the night of the crash and next morning we were told we would be on a different plane that day. We only realised that we were actually going on the same aircraft when we got to the Club lounge and saw the plane but without its wing tip.”

Hey, no wingtip, no problem! What a load of pussies! Man Up! You get the best of both worlds: you’re flying on a Sri Lankan airline, and you’re flying an Airbus! Are you racist or plane-ist? Or both? After all, isn’t it true that anything another country does apart from the United States can only be better than the US? Just ask any neighborhood Leftist.

But here’s what I really love, the “official statement” from SriLankan Airlines:

SriLankan Airlines insisted there was no danger in flying without a wing tip. It added: “They are purely for aerodynamics and to keep fuel costs to a minimum. There is no impact on safety at all. Safety is our absolute priority.”

That’s right: winglets are present for nothing more than decorative purposes. Remember that when you see something like this — after all, why do you need enclosed nacelles anyway?

New to the BZ “Usual Suspects” List!


This is an incredible “first” for me — recommending someone to The Usual Suspects’ list from my very own family!

My cousin’s son has taken his very own piece of the Blogosphere and, after having read his blog, I cannot do anything but highly recommend it to each and every one of my readers!

Yes, I will admit, there are those within my family that do not adhere to a Conservative mindset; yea, they would actually claim to be Liberals and then, further, “Progressives” — whatever the heck that means.

But no; it is not applicable to Mister Politics. And from there I heartily recommend:

All politics. No bull.

I couldn’t have summed it up better myself.
Please frequent Mister Politics on a daily basis and, please, welcome MP to my Usual Suspects list!

Monday

Waking up.
It’s Monday, and waking up involves coffee.
Coffee.
I bet you’ve had your fix or you wouldn’t be reading this post.
My wife is the maddest of the most mad coffee-fixed. She cannot wake up in anything other than a disgruntled funk and completely relies upon her Starbucks (or another) premeditated acquisition. Absent that, she’s good for a following one or at least two hours of miserable

Beneath The Verbal Emesis

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer wants to provide drivers licenses to illegal immigrants in his state. On its face, for any clear-thinking adult, this is insane.

However, the standard Left counter-argument equates Spitzer’s plan as an attempt to provide illegal immigrants with nothing more than a feeling of belonging and integration into the country, along with their ability to lawfully drive a vehicle in order to enable the jobs and duties they daily perform — that most Americans don’t want to do.

In truth, Spitzer’s move is nothing more than a transparent tactic to allow illegal immigrants to circumvent the system and vote. And for whom would they vote? For Republicans, who do not wish illegal immigrants to run wholesale into the country? Or for Demorats, who seem to WANT illegal immigrants to invade and soak our nation? Further, there is only one reason for this: the votes. They want the votes.

Demorats want the illegal votes from illegal immigrants and will do ANYTHING to acquire these votes.

Spitzer has proven this.

And why licenses?

Harken back to William Jefferson Clinton, our 42nd president (1993 – 2001), when he signed the Motor Voter Law (NVRA: National Voter Registration Act) on May 20 of 1993, which required all states to offer voter registration to anyone getting a driver’s license.

Get a license? Get a VOTE.

How many states require a valid ID to vote? In September of 2005, a national commission headed by Jimmy Carter and James Baker recommended that all states require a valid photo ID to vote. How odd. Several prosecutors say, underneath the current, that they fear being accused of racism and aiding voter-suppression tactics if they pursue “touchy” voter fraud cases. One district attorney told the U.S. Government Accountability Office that he doesn’t pursue phony voter registrations because they are “victimless and nonviolent crimes.”

Your government at work. The government for which you, ahem, pay taxes.

Fornicalia makes this attempt roughly every two years, spearheaded by our Speaker Fabio Nunez. Oddly enough, he appears to be, at first blush, Mexican.

No surprise there. The surprise is that Fornicalia has managed, to date, to sink every illegal immigrant license bill.

We can track UPS packages — even online. The same for FedEx. But we can’t track illegal immigrants.

I have to show an ID to get on board any airliner. I have to show an ID frequently in order to verify my credit card when I make purchases in stores. I have to show my ID when I rent a video at Blockbuster. I have to show my ID when I wish to make a deposit in my own checking or savings account.

But I don’t have to show an ID, a VALID ID, when I wish to consider voting in the US?

And now, with the chance of states issuing essentially invalid or unverified IDs for illegal immigrants, what does that do or say for MY having to proffer ID for various transactions? Why is it that I should comply? For that matter, why is it that I should comply with any single or multiple number of laws when my very own state and federal governments think that abiding by laws isn’t quite necessary — dependent upon, of course, who you are.

Bottom line: I’m not Mexican so I have to comply with each and every law. My wife is Mexican but she is naturalized and was born in the United States 50+ years ago and speaks English. Imagine that. She had and has to continually jump through each and every ongoing hoop for all her local, state and federal governments. Unlike ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

Yes, Hillary stepped on her dick (and trust me, she does have a bigger dick than any of her male competitors — especially Obama Osama) during the recent Demorat debates, regarding this very issue.

But still, make no mitsake: THE DEMORATS WANT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO VOTE, BECAUSE ILLEGALS WILL VOTE FOR FREE SHIT (i.e., — entitlements). And by that extension, Demorats = free shit which = a vote for Demorats.

The potential for fraud is not trivial, as federal privacy laws prevent cross-checking voter registration rolls with immigration records. Nevertheless, a 1997 Congressional investigation found that “4,023 illegal voters possibly cast ballots in [a] disputed House election” in California. After 9/11, the Justice Department found that eight of the 19 hijackers were registered to vote.

You can take this to the bank:

  • When DEMORATS want illegal immigration in ANY VENUE, they want the VOTES.
  • When REPUBLICANS want illegal immigration in ANY VENUE, they want the CHEAP LABOR.
And further, what you must understand: to the collective detriment of our nation.
