French author Jean-Christophe Mounicq woke up and saw the light in an editorial in the Washington Times. [Thanks: dhimmi watch.]
The reaction of the European media and political class to the elimination of Sheikh Yassin — the master of hate and terrorism, and one who had called for the murder of Jews — pushed me over the edge. I can no longer tolerate descriptions of the monster responsible for hundreds of deaths and thousands of wounded as a “spiritual leader,” a poor “paralytic in a wheelchair.” I can no longer tolerate murderous, barbaric Islamist hatred.
Mr. Mounicq, welcome to the club.

From AP/Yahoo:
DETROIT (AP) — Football great Paul Hornung said in a radio interview that his alma mater, Notre Dame, needs to lower its academic standards to “get the black athlete.”
“As far as Notre Dame is concerned, we’re going to have to ease it up a little bit,” Hornung told Detroit’s WXYT-AM in an interview before the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame banquet Tuesday.
WXYT’s sister station, WWJ-AM in Detroit, played a portion of the interview for The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Hornung, who is white, won the 1956 Heisman Trophy at Notre Dame. He went on to star for the NFL’s Green Bay Packers and is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “We can’t stay as strict as we are as far as the academic structure is concerned because we’ve got to get the black athlete,” Hornung said in the interview. “We must get the black athlete if we’re going to compete.”
Hornung and Notre Dame associate athletic director John Heisler did not immediately return phone messages left by the AP on Wednesday.
Hornung has previously criticized the school, saying its academic requirements have hurt the athletic department.
“We open up with Michigan, then go to Michigan State and Purdue — those are the first three games, you know, and you can’t play a schedule like this unless you have the black athlete today,” he said. “You just can’t do it.”
Notre Dame’s football team went 5-7 last season, its second under Tyrone Willingham, the first black head coach in any sport in school history.
Wow. (I mean that in a disgusted way.)

junkyard blog on a possible similarity between Saddam Hussein and Dem party chairman Terry McAuliffe. This blog has it right:
Unbelievable, outrageous, inappropriate and despicable. Terry MacAuliffe may be the worst, most unethical, least patriotic, most disgusting political figure in recent American history.
What else should we expect from someone in the Clintons’ pockets?
At least CNN’s Judy Woodruff came down from her Howard Dean-worship high long enough to walk around the mat.

A disturbing story from Michael, evolution’s counter-terrorism expert: Warnings from Islam’s ‘messianic whirlpool’ — Jihadists in global frenzy over coming of prophesied ‘Mahdi’ (WorldNetDaily).
If there is anyone in America still left who does not believe that these jihadists are murderous madmen, perhaps it is they who are truly mad.

I realize I haven’t posted in a while. I was out sick on Friday and now I’m back. I really have nothing to say today so we’ll just have some links and reader contributions.
- Michael, an old friend and analyst for the State of Kansas terrorism response program, sends us a link to a collection of news items related to terrorism from the US Dept. of Homeland Security, updated daily.
- Reader Judy injects some humor into the marriage debate with a story from the Leavenworth (KS) Times about a transgender couple charged with falsifying information on a marriage license application.
- The State Senate of Kansas has passed a house bill for a concealed-carry law. Kansas is one of four states which does not have such a law. Note especially the Lawrence Journal-World’s bias in this quote (emphasis is mine): “Supporters of the bill contend that the measure would allow law-abiding citizens to protect themselves. Opponents predict it would lead to more gun-related violence.”
Got it? Supporters of this bill “contend”, as if to advance some crazy notion; while opponents of concealed-carry “predict”, as if some sage wisdom were driving their “principled” opposition.
Also, I will be updating the look and feel of this site. I still don’t have a proper host for this site (right now it’s hosted on Blogspot), so my ability to display neat things like graphics is limited.

More from my favorite domestic extremist group: PETA Ups Anti-KFC Campaign With ‘Blood’ (AP)
The KFC spokeswoman quoted in the piece has it right:
KFC spokeswoman Bonnie Warschauer initially said, “We don’t comment on the corporate terrorist activities of PETA. They are corporate terrorists and just like the United States government, we will not negotiate with corporate terrorists.”
Warschauer added that “PETA has totally crossed the line of free speech and acceptable behavior” and “all they want is a vegetarian world.”
