Fox News Reports: The IAEA has declared a “radiological emergency” based on the theft of “strategic quantities” of radioactive Americium in Nigeria - a country with a significant Muslim population and a history of Islamicist violence.
Presumable the terms “strategic quantities” means that enough has been stolen to be useful for one or more radiological bomb(s).

No, I’m not talking about a football.
From the Sydney Morning Herald [emphasis added]:
Forensic experts in New York said today they had identified body parts belonging to two of the 10 hijackers who flew planes into the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001.
These body parts should be buried in pig skins. It’s the least we can do for them, and it would protect 144 virgins [Ibn Kathir’s Tafsir of Surah Al-Rahman (55), verse 72] at the same time.
[Note… unfortunately, Muslim authorities say that burial in pig skin does not prevent one from entering Heaven (contrary to common wisdom), but we might as well try it!]
[UPDATE FOR FRENCH READERS: We are at war with terrorism. Iraq is just one campaign. For those of you who want to stop us, watch THIS and you will see why we will NOT STOP UNTIL ALL POTENTIAL ENEMIES ARE DEALT WITH!]
[UPDATE 3/27/03: It turns out that the French are the reason our troops were unable to transit Turkey - click here for details. This treachery against our troops during war is yet another reason to boycott these slime.]
[UPDATE 4/20/03: The US has lost only one A-10 tank-buster aircraft ever in combat. It was lost near Baghdad Airport to a French-made Roland missile. A cache of Rolands was found nearby, with year 2002 dates on them - a clear sanctions violation.]
[Update 4/20/03: The US would like to restart the oil-for-food program and to remove sanctions from the now-defanged Iraq. The French and Russians, who before the war wanted a reduction of sanctions, now want to keep sanctions in full force, to the detriment of the people of Iraq. They are doing this completely unwarranted and transparently cynical act of blackmail in order to force good commercial deals from Iraq.]
France has been obstructing America’s effort to defend herself, and has been doing so out of its own selfish economic and political interests.
If you dislike this behavior, send the French a message by not buying their goods. If you are French, replace your government!

According to The Drudge Report, former senator and Law and Order actor Fred Thompson is striking back at “president” Sheen’s new anti-war commercial.
Thompson has cut a commercial saying “Thank goodness we have a President with the courage to protect our country” and much more.
Thompson, who has disdain for Sheen’s “preachy liberalism” also commented:
“I’ve been thinking about the possibility of having my character [in Law and Order] run against Martin Sheen [in The West Wing] for president.”
It’s about time we heard from one of the few Hollywood Right!
The Tocquevillian Magazine has found a gem from Dennis Prager - summarizing in three sentences the big picture of the struggle for the future of man.
“There are now three ideologies competing to shape the future of mankind. They are militant Islam, Western European secularism and socialism, and American Judeo-Christianity and capitalism. The first is being spread both peacefully and violently, the second is being spread peacefully, and the third is not being spread…”
Once again, Arizona is going for the multicultural fools-gold. This time the legislature is considering providing driver licenses to illegal aliens.
The logic goes something like this: they’re here and they drive, so we should give them licenses. I suppose as long as they are doing this, they will be allowed to register to vote, since you can do both at the same time!
A more logical approach would be for the state to pass laws requiring government officials who encounter illegals to detain them for the INS. This new law (if passed) is simply facilitating law-breaking!

I got this in email today. It originated from an unknown (to me) source. No further comment needed:
Viruses are normally named after a landmark near where they were first discovered. Thus Ebola is named after the Ebola River, near the home of it’s first case. Marburg (a relative of Ebola) was first discovered in Marburg, Germany. Hantavirus was first discovered during the Korean War and was named after the Hantaan River.
In 1993 when several healthy young Navajo’s from near Muerto Canyon suddenly died within a short period of time, the new viral pathogen was named the “Muerto Canyon Virus”. The Navajo Tribe strongly objected to the name, so the virus became the “Four Corners Virus.” The tribe and others objected again, fearing harm to tourism.
In frustration, the virologists finally came up with a name that couldn’t offend anyone - even though it violated the tradition of virus naming: “Sin Nombre Virus“.
For those who remember their Latin, this means the “No Name Virus”! Science is once again is mangled by the forces of political correctness.
By the way, since the Sin Nombre Virus is too long for a news articles and hard for TV talking heads to pronounce, and the pathogen is of the Hantavirus family, it is now widely known as just Hantavirus.
I guess a few idiotarians have something more important on their minds than the upcoming war: eliminating the word squaw.
Yep… that’s right! Arizona House Bill 2424 would prevent the word “squaw” from being used to name any landmark, street, highway, historical site, park, recreation area or other publicly funded facilities.
So the historic Squaw Peak, 2 miles from this blogger’s home, will have to get a new name. Phoenix’s most popular park, Squaw Peak Park will have to be renamed. The Squaw Peak Parkway will be renamed, changing all of its signs. My Civil Air Patrol radio, programmed with the name of the Squaw Peak repeater, will have to be reprogrammed. And, with more than 1,000 sites around the country that include the word “squaw,” “it’s an issue that is not going to go away” according to one of the PC Police.
WATCH OUT: They’re headed your way next!
The Tocquevillian and Daily Pundit have brought to light the latest disgusting behavior of some in our school system. According to WABI, some members of the education establishment have been taunting children of the deploying solders!
