Here are three real, authentic quotes from Dick Moehl :
“It really was a mess.”
“This will preserve this thing for another 100 years.”
“It was automated in 1922 and it’s still a major navigational aid.”
Who is Dick Moehl and why does he have a quote page? Maybe he’s the genius behind this .

What did you do on Ashura? Did you miss it again? LindaSoG at Something and Half of Something has the gory details of what the “Religion of Peace” does on holiday. (Warning: Graphic pictures of idiots whipping themselves — and their children — into a bloody lather.)
Its that time of year, again, for the peaceful followers of peaceful Islam to take some time off from peaceful rioting, burning, pillaging, beheading infidels, killing Jews and killing each other in the name of their peaceful g0d to peacefully celebrate the peaceful holy islamic holiday of Ashura.
In order to participate, you will need a sharp sword and metal chains to flagellate yourself in this unique Religion of Peace ceremony. You will also need white robes to show off the blood and gore to your fellow celebrants. Children, horses and yes, even sheep are expected to participate.

Hats off to the citizens of tiny Herouxville, Quebec for taking a stand against encroaching dhimmitude and the disease known as multiculturalism that enables its advance.
The town welcomes immigrants, but insists they make themselves aware of a declaration of “norms” adopted by the town council. These include:
- At Christmas, children sing Christmas songs.
- No stoning women.
- No burning women with acid.
- No ceremonial daggers in school even if you’re a Sikh.
- Boys and girls can swim in the same pool whether Muslims like it or not.
- Men can drink alcohol whether Muslims like it or not.
- No walking around with your face hidden except on Halloween.
- Female police can arrest male suspects even if it troubles their egos.
- Women are allowed to dance.
- Women are allowed to drive.
- Women are even allowed to make decisions on their own.
Needless to say, ethnic grievance groups like B’nai Brith Quebec and the Muslim Council of Montreal are outraged. Too bad. As Herouxville’s town council has figured out, the farther we bend over backwards obsequiously pandering to arrogant and sometimes hostile foreigners who refuse to assimilate, the less social cohesion we’re going to have.

Among other things- “The U.S. is actually quite popular worldwide; so much so, in fact, that its government must create artificial terrorist organizations to attack it. Left to their own devices, everybody else pretty much respects Americans and leaves them alone .
“The government planted explosives at the exact aircraft impact sites of the Pentagon and both WTC towers, the explosives and activity surrounding their placement went completely unnoticed, the rigging of the explosives was unharmed by the aircraft impacts, and they went off exactly when planned.
“When you refer to the planes, say ‘ alleged aircraft .’ When referring to the terrorists, say “ alleged terrorists .” Because not only can we not be sure they even existed , but also, ‘alleged’ has such a nice, objective ring to it.”
“Those plane crashes were like so totally fake cuz they were so totally unlike all the real fiery passenger jet crashes into buildings I’ve seen in real life.”

JUNEAU, Alaska - About 10,000 Juneau residents briefly lost power after a bald eagle lugging a deer head crashed into transmission lines.”You have to live in Alaska to have this kind of outage scenario,” said Gayle Wood, an Alaska Electric Light & Power spokeswoman. “This is the story of the overly ambitious eagle who evidently found a deer head in the landfill.”
The bird, weighed down by the deer head, apparently failed to clear the transmission lines, she said. A repair crew found the eagle dead, the deer head nearby.
The power was out for less than 45 minutes Sunday.
Must have been one big eagle - or a dwarf deer. (HT: PMSNBC )

Further evidence of the lingering death of Europe. (HT: Brussels Journal )
On Fascism and Homophobia
The court of Appeal in Douai [Dowaai in Dutch], in the French northern province of Flanders (adjacent to the Belgian Dutch-speaking region of Flanders), has convicted a member of the French Parliament for his views on homosexuality. Christian Vanneste, an MP of the ruling UMP party, had said that “heterosexuality is morally superior to homosexuality.” He also said that “homosexual behaviour endangers the survival of humanity.” This is a statement one is no longer allowed to make in France.
Last year a court of first instance in Lille [Rijsel in Dutch] sentenced Vanneste to a fine of €3,000 (almost $4,000) plus €3,000 in damages to each of the three homosexual activist organizations that had taken him to court. On Thursday the appeal court upheld the verdict , adding a further €500 to the sum which the politician has to pay to the three organizations.
The three organizations brought the politician to court under a 2004 law that criminalizes “homophobia.” The homosexual activist groups welcomed the court ruling, saying that it “aims to punish homophobic comments which should be fought because they inspire and legitimize verbal and physical attacks.” As former Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky told us last year the introduction of “hate speech” laws in Europe are a clear sign of the end of freedom .
In addition to forbidding statements that European neo-Fascists, such as the French homosexual activists, regard as homophobic, French courts also prohibit the distribution of pork soup by private charities because that is deemed to be “ islamophobic .”

We saw this coming. Why put troops on the border if you’re not going to use them? What is so hard about protecting our borders? The Guard troops are not at fault because they were given specific orders not fire. Let’s go after the idiots who gave them such spineless orders.
National Guard Commander in Arizona to Testify About Border Confrontation
Monday, January 29, 2007 FoxNewsPHOENIX - “Stop Stonewalling.”
That’s the warning from Arizona lawmakers hoping to find out what really happened earlier this month when four Tennessee National Guardsmen reportedly retreated when confronted by armed illegal immigrants along the border south of Tucson.
So far, Guard and U.S. Border Patrol officials have refused to disclose exactly what happened Jan. 3 when gunmen assaulted a Guard lookout post near Sasabe, Ariz. They declined requests from FOX News for copies of incident reports and transcripts of interviews with the men involved.
“Unfortunately, we do not have a report to provide,” said Michael Friel, the Border Patrol’s chief spokesman in Washington.
On Monday, Maj. Gen. David Rataczak will appear before the Arizona House Homeland Security Committee to testify about the encounter.
“What are they here for if they are going to retreat from people with automatic weapons?” asked Committee Chairman Warde Nichols, who said the incident may send the message that the National Guard will retreat if faced with armed individuals. “It is not in the best interest of Arizona or U.S. border security,” he added.
Rep. Steve Gallardo, a Democrat on the committee, said he believed immigration hard-liners would use Rataczak’s appearance to push their agenda.
“They are going to try and embarrass him. They are going to fail,” Gallardo said.
No, I think he is already embarrassed - and should be. This is shameful.
“The incident happened at night, about a quarter mile north of the U.S. border with Mexico. A spokesman for the Arizona National Guard said an undetermined number of armed men approached an E.I.T., or Entry Identification Team, from Tennessee. Dozens of these mobile lookout posts are set up along the border, several are near Sasabe, a popular drug corridor. An E.I.T. is typically manned by four Guard soldiers equipped with radios, night vision and other surveillance gear.
Under existing rules of force signed by the Department of Defense and border state governors, soldiers are not supposed to stop, arrest, or shoot armed illegal immigrants. They are instructed only to look, listen and report their location to the Border Patrol.

From FoxNews :
MOSCOW - Moscow’s mayor vowed Monday never to allow a gay rights parade, calling such events “satanic,” but activists said they would defy a city ban to hold what would be the Russian capital’s first gay rights parade.
Yury Luzhkov and city authorities had barred activists from staging a parade last year, citing the threat of violence. Activists ignored the ban and were pummeled by right-wing protesters and detained by police.
Speaking at a Kremlin event attended by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Luzhkov again lambasted gay and lesbian groups:
“Last year, Moscow came under unprecedented pressure to sanction the gay parade, which can be described in no other way than as satanic,” he said to applause in comments broadcast on a city-controlled TV channel. “We did not let the parade take place then, and we are not going to allow it in the future.”
Why does Moscow get it and we don’t?
