Even the Paleswinian "police" have decided to join the act.
GAZA (Reuters) - About 200 policemen stormed government offices in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah on Monday to protest at the failure of the Palestinian Authority to fight growing lawlessness, witnesses said.
[sarcasm] Because nothing demonstrates your dissaproval of chaos like contributing to it. [/sarcasm]
The incident was the latest sign of chaos in Gaza, which has suffered growing internal unrest since Israel withdrew last September after 38 years of occupation.
Right, if by "occupation" you mean controlling land that you won in a war that you didn't start. Still, Steven Den Beste predicted this sometime ago (back when he was still blogging politics). It's absolutely worth reading.

LGF has this heads up on Iran.
By the end of Khatami’s second term in 2004 “we were distanced from the goals of the (1979 Islamic) Revolution and our activity in the Islamic world had been somewhat diminished,” Jalali quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.
Let me think...Iran...1979.... Well golly! That seems like fun!
Theran (Reuters)- The Iranian government on Monday ordered the closure of a daily newspaper and banned a new women’s bi-weekly from publication in the first media crackdown since President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took office in August.
Wow! You mean it was 4 whole months!? But wait, there's more!
TEHRAN, Iran - Iran has decided to resume research into nuclear fuel production, a top official said Tuesday in a statement certain to increase concerns that Iran is moving toward production of nuclear weapons.
Told you we had a slam bang finish in store for you. The time for us to act is way fuckin' nigh, friends.
*Update: The IDF is on the ball though.
IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz on Tuesday said that Iran's nuclear program "can be destroyed."

Two More Down Amigos....
Way to go IDF!
GAZA (Reuters) - Israel killed two Palestinian militants in a missile strike on a car in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday, Palestinian medics said.

The Israeli military said it had launched an "aerial strike", which targeted a vehicle carrying a senior member of Islamic Jihad in the Jabalya refugee camp.
Sweet! Who's buying the pizza?
Little Red Books Abound....
A detailed look at Russia's energy games.
The second lesson is that Russia’s imperial ambitions must be stopped today. It is important to stand by Ukraine and the other countries that lie between Germany and Russia. Rerouting Russian gas directly into Germany via the Baltic Sea, whilst bypassing Ukraine, Poland or the Baltics, should not be allowed. So long as Gazprom remains a Russian state-owned gas monopoly, it is necessary that some other authorities – be it other governments – are in a position to exert some control over the company’s gas deliveries. And seeing as Russia has apparently remained under the political control of former agents of the previous communist regime, such as KGB veteran Putin, it is imperative that Ukraine be brought into NATO.
Yep.

How MSN Learned to Love the Little Red Book....
RConversation takes a good look at MSN's bandwagon approach to the chinese crackdown on bloggers.
Microsoft’s MSN Spaces continues to censor its Chinese language blogs, and has become more aggressive and thorough at censorship since I first checked out MSN’s censorship system last summer. On New Years Eve, MSN Spaces took down the popular blog written by Zhao Jing, aka Michael Anti. Now all you get when you attempt to visit his blog at: http://spaces.msn.com/members/mranti/ is the error message pictured above. (You can see the Google cache of his blog up until Dec.22nd here.)
Note, his blog was TAKEN DOWN by MSN people. Not blocked by the Chinese government.
The whole thing is worth reading, so check it out.
The Run Down....
So New Years Eve....
My coat, phone, and nano were stolen. I missed getting to see some of my really good friends and New Years Day I awoke with the Plague.
So I totally went to work yesterday with the plague.
And now I have to try to rebuild my phone book. Unfortunately I just have to call several numbers as officially lost. Lame. But most of the ones that I use, I should be able to replace.
But the lost ones are a touch upsetting. Well, several of them are.
Anyway, I still have the plague so sporadic blogging today.

Further Adventures of the Armed Gunmen in Gaza....
This is like what, the sixth time in four or five days that Palaswinians brandishing guns have stormed into a building. Generally they go for the PA "government" buildings, but this time there's a catch.
GAZA (Reuters) - Masked Palestinian gunmen stormed into a club for United Nations workers in Gaza City early on Sunday and blew up the drinking hall, in a new sign of growing unrest in the chaotic territory.
Once again these idiots demonstrate that they have absolutely no idea what side their bread is butterred on. Maybe they wanted more money....
The United Nations is generally viewed with sympathy in the Gaza Strip. Its agency supporting Palestinian refugees is among the biggest employers in the territory.
Oh wait, I guess they just wanted more jobs....

Jerusalem Post says that we just might be a big dark scary cloud on Iran's horizon.
The United States government reportedly began coordinating with NATO its plans for a possible military attack against Iran.
Sounds like good stuff to me.
Everyone's just paring down the Der Spiegel article though.
According to DDP, during his trip to Turkey, CIA chief Goss reportedly handed over three dossiers to Turkish security officials that purportedly contained evidence that Tehran is cooperating with Islamic terror network al-Qaida. A further dossier is said to contain information about the current status of Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program. Sources in German security circles told the DDP reporter that Goss had ensured Ankara that the Turkish government would be informed of any possible air strikes against Iran a few hours before they happened. The Turkish government has also been given the "green light" to strike camps of the separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Iran on the day in question.
It's pretty long, but I'd say it's worth a good skimming.
Just having this on the table is good way to ring in the new year in my book. But I'm generally in line with the Emperor regarding what this actually means.

Whatcha Gonna Do....
So I'm totally addicted to this movie.
It's not that good. I mean it's not terrible. It's quirky and cute and kinda charming, but real attraction is Jordana Brewster.
Hot.
Seriously. I like totally had to install a liquid coolent system for my TV.

[Sarcasm] Well I'm Shocked....
Hold onto your hats kiddies, I have Earth shaking news [/sarcasm]
A poll carried out in the Palestinian Authority shows 65% support for Al Qaeda terror attacks on the United States and European countries - the biggest donors to the PA.
As if being taxed wasn't painful enough.... Nice to know that part of my paycheck is potentially paying for my own untimely end.
The poll comes at a time when US and European funding of the Palestinian Authority is at an all-time high.
Never fear, the LLL will still demand that it's not enough. [sarcasm] Because we all know that showering those swine with money will totally make them go away.... [/sarcasm]
With elections due to be held next month and the Hamas terror group gaining significantly in municipal elections and polls, the survey further illustrates the desire of a majority of PA Arabs to establish an Islamic state, similar to Iran. A whopping 79.9% of Palestinians would like the PA to follow Shari'a - Islamic religious law. Included in the figure are 11.3% of the respondents, who would like to see Shari'a supplemented by the laws of a PA Legislature.
[sarcasm] But it's just a small minority who are in the extreme. Most are moderate peace loving people. [/sarcasm]
Last month (November 18th), in a sermon broadcast on PA-controlled television, Islamic leader Suleiman Satari offered the following prayer:
"Destroy the Infidels and the Polytheists! Your [i.e. Allah's] enemies are the enemies of the religion…! Count them and kill them to the last one, and don't leave even one."
Religion of muderous shit stains.

Meanwhile....
Things have been insane. The retail holiday season is over and the return season has begun. My job has decided to recognize this fact by working me to death.
No shit.
You're probably asking what the hell nudged me out of retirement. Well it wasn't the news. The Religion of Murder is still a fecund pile of the decaying remains of what used to be a civilized and enlightened culture- in the Dark Ages. The left and right are still trying to imprison and pacify us (the left, to pwotect our fwagile wittle self image; and the right, to save our permanently indangered souls). And the press is still a heap of lying liberal asshats.
So what's brought me back? Well, I missed you guys. (I'm so totally talking to myself. Isn't it hysterical?) Plus I got a shiney new notebook for Chrismakkuh and a wireless connection. Ain't technology grand?
So I've been making new friends and going to new places. And trying to work my way into (or keep myself in, I'm not sure exactly which at this point) the good graces of a rather beautiful woman who has actually surprised me. A feat which doesn't happen often. I have no clue what's going on right now because every time I'm around her I totally dork the fuck out. Though I'm now resolved to cow...girl the fuck up and be. aggressive. b-e- aggressive.
Anyway I'll see yall later. And by later, I mean probably in a few hours.
No shit.

I Think I'm In Love
Usually, I can't stand gamer girls. Maybe it's just the ones that I tend to meet, but their either super femme DDR freaks (god, I hate DDR!) or humorless drones trying to walk the gamer boy swagger.
But now it seems that I'm not alone. There is another. Oh yes, there is another. And she's freakin' hot too!! Sweet jeebus!
Seriously, check out her posts.
And yes, I fully intend to just waltz back into your lives after my long silence as though nothing happenned. I know you'll get over it.

Tis the Season...
The guys over at PA are at it again. You'll have to scroll down, but things are off to a good start.
Back On The Air....
Sorry for the long silence, but I've been unplugged for a bit. (My IPAQ was stolen three days after my freakin computer died. Oye!)
So....there'd be alot to cover, but what really requires saying? G.W. won. Awesome. While the election outcome was great for my faith in humanity, post election antics from both sides were decidedly not.
I have a new car. Not brand spanking new, but nice. I'm still working on some serious essays (research is slow gowing).
Last night I was writing in a bar (yeah, I know. Totally cliche. And I haven't even mentioned the yellow legal pad....) when this woman started talking to me. Well, long story short, without reading so much as a word of what I was working on, she made me a job offer.
I'll keep you guys updated on this. Could be interesting....
Me, a writer....Hah!

Another One Down
th Happy November 10th kiddies! The vile pig molesting murderer of innocents has finally kicked the bucket. Yasser Arafish has gotten nothing close to what he has coming. The worst part of being an aetheist is living in a universe where there's no hell for pieces of shit like this to rot in.
My local CBS affiliate finally mentioned Arafish in the same sentence as terrorist, but insists that he gave up violence in his later years or some such bullshit. Fuckers. MSM continues trying to polish turds.
Well, sod on them. It's time to party. Beer and cig's folks. Cheers!
*update* It also turns out that today is the 229th birthday of the USMC. The death of this swine is a most excellent gift.

Re-cap
Well, I was going to post sooner, but I've been spell-bound by the post election hysteria of the LLL's (and then I had issues with blogger and then I had issues with my computer....). Unless you lost consciousness the night of November 2nd only to awake to see this post, you probably know what I'm talking about.
Okay, this was gonna be a huge round-up post, but when I went to publish it, I had server issues and (because I'm stupid and didn't back up the completed post before I went to publish) lost the whole damn thing minus that paragraph up there. It freakin' sucks, it was a really good freakin' post.

After many technical difficulties, I am back.
Even the South Park guys think you should vote.
Last night some ass backed into my car and drove off.
At some point I'll get to each of the three (by some point I mean later today or tomorrow).
Welcome back to The House of Righteous Anger.

Ramblings
This post is just gonna ramble about for a bit. I had a really good day a few days ago. Not that the rest have been crap, but Friday was just freakin amazing. It all started when I went the market.
Who knew going to the market could be the highlight of someone's day? Two days ago I had to run to the market for something...pens I think. Whatever, the surprise came when it was time to check out. I was checked out by the most enthusiastic, happy, efficient, trainee I've ever seen. Plus she was cute, but the other three are really what did it. This is someone who's happy to be employed and that's always freaking awesome to see.
Then I had the comedic experience of watching my co-workers quake with fear over the prospect of having to use a computer. As the guy was explaining the new system, everywhere I looked I saw horror stricken faces. Their expression seemed to say "If I touch it, it'll explode....Oh God! I heard a tick! Take cover!" Joyous.
I'll be updating the links today I guess. Maybe. Have to do some cleaning first. I'll be back later though. Maybe.
