Muslim nations vow to help end Iraq insurgency

I'll just say it's about time. I hope this comes to fruition.

"Ministers of member states of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) meeting in Yemen agreed to help "rebuild Iraq and enabling the Iraqi government to maintain security and stability," Yemeni Foreign Minister Abubakr al-Qirbi told reporters."

Full story here.

Ironical: Taking Souter's House for Hotel

I'm thinking we could use Ginsburg's place for a new multiplex, Souter's pad for a new Bed Bath and Beyond, Kennedy's house might be converted into a Starbucks, and maybe Breyer won't fight the eminent domain eviction order that will soon turn his loft-space into a Barnes & Noble. Check out this press release that Drudge is linking to and which Leopold Stotch e-mailed me about:

On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. Souter's home.

Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.

The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."

Clements indicated that the hotel must be built on this particular piece of land because it is a unique site being the home of someone largely responsible for destroying property rights for all Americans.

"This is not a prank" said Clements, "The Towne of Weare has five people on the Board of Selectmen. If three of them vote to use the power of eminent domain to take this land from Mr. Souter we can begin our hotel development."

Mmmmm, Whaleburgurs!!!

homer_simpson_drooling.gifIs there anything the Japanese can't improve? One day I hope the Japanese figure out how to flash-fry a buffallo in 30 seconds. Until then, we'll have to settle for whale burgers! Al Jazeera:


The 380-yen ($3.50) slice of fried minke whale in a bun went
on sale on Thursday at Lucky Pierrot, a restaurant chain in the port city of Hakodate on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido.

"We have decided to add a whale burger to our menu due to strong demand from our customers and feel very thankful to the whales for allowing us to make the burgers," said Lucky Pierrot manager Miku Oh.

"The taste and texture are somewhere between beef and fish," she said, adding: "People in Hakodate have a long history of eating whale, so customers are looking forward to trying it."

But customers wanting to try it better get there fast, the chain is currently producing only 200 burgers a day spread out over its 10 outlets.

I'm on the next plane!

Porn Star Discusses Supreme Court Eminent Domain Case

When I first saw this article by porn star Mary Carey over at Tech Central Station discussing the New London eminent domain case, I thought, this has got to be a joke.

Check it out though . It seems real enough.

It's official: Christina Aguilera's Music is Torture

Christina_aguilera_south_park_dog.gif
Ok, I now admit that interogation methods used at Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, were in fact torture. Ananonva:

Christina Aguilera's music has reportedly been used to interrogate a leading al Qaeda suspect at Guantanamo Bay.

Time magazine says her songs were played to try to break down Mohammed al Qahtani who is believed to be the so-called 20th hijacker.

Qahtani is thought to have tried to enter the US in August 2001 as part of the team which took part in the September 11 attacks.

That's cruel and unusual in my book....

UPDATE: Whoever is in charge over at The Superficial has similar thoughts (and headline...ahem...cough...):

Thanks a lot pussy liberals. This could have been an awesome report if not for you, and they could have replaced the words “dripping water onto” with “slammed a hammer into” and “playing Christina Aguilera music” with “execute”. Honest to God, once I'm in charge, if I see any electronic equipment brought into a room with a guy involved with 9/11, I better hear the phrase, “Red is positve, black is negative” and “don't bother with any KY.”

The epitome of being cute and ghastly at the same time. Thank God the long national nightmare of the Jackson trial is almost over, and we can get back to more conventional sappistry.

Office Space, the next Rocky Horror Picture Show?

Let the pop-culture theme continue! Professor Chaos has the details. But does one dress up as Samir Nagheenanajar or Bill Lumbergh? And do you throw Swinglines at the screen, or what?

Rapping About Iraq: Dead Terrorists, F*ck Yeah!

Q: What do you get when you combine hard-core gangsta rap with soldiers returning from Iraq?

A: 4th25

These guys are the real deal. To understand where there coming from, go check out the groups website here and surf around.

My favorite song? Integrity (first 2 minutes of song). The song is about a soldier charged with shooting a captured terrorist in cold blood. Let's just say these soldiers are a tad bit pissed off at the brass and liberals in Washington calling it murder.

How the fuck can you charge a soldier with doing anything but doing his job?
I don't think y'all understand what this is.
This is war and whether we'll ever see our loved ones again?

And there's a lot of y'all out here who I could never forgive.
And I could never understand why y'all fuckers did what y'all did...

But I could see through the smoke that's how I know you a bitch.
You shouldn't ever let none of that come through between your lips,
cause out here it's not murder, it's jus our desire to live.

Cause you're all out here with your cape on, clueless and shit
Say you saw the whole thing and he aint have to do what he did.

No, he aint have to go and kill him, he could have let him live
But you must have forgot how many people here will see you dead.

And I don't care if he was handcuffed then shot in his head,
all I know is dead bodies can't fuck with me again.

Hell ya!

You can listen to the first 2 minutes of each song at cdbaby here.

While I'm not sure the album is 'the event of a lifetime' as the group proclaims, it's a must listen to hear some soldiers perspective on the war in Iraq. This is not raw-raw propaganda, but presents the good, the bad, and the ugly. For instance, one of the songs questions why we're in Iraq when they really couldn't give a shit about the Iraqis. Another song, though, tells a liberal loved one back home to shut their cake-hole and stop questioning the war. Now that's honest confliction. more...

Monkey Prostitutes

Don't panic! When the monkey-overlords come to power there won't be all that many changes....And as a libertarian can I say that while I do not support monkey prostitution I do support a monkey's right to become a prostitute. NY Times magazine:

Something else happened during that chaotic scene, something that convinced Chen of the monkeys' true grasp of money. Perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic of money, after all, is its fungibility, the fact that it can be used to buy not just food but anything. During the chaos in the monkey cage, Chen saw something out of the corner of his eye that he would later try to play down but in his heart of hearts he knew to be true. What he witnessed was probably the first observed exchange of money for sex in the history of monkeykind. (Further proof that the monkeys truly understood money: the monkey who was paid for sex immediately traded the token in for a grape.)

Toilet Manufacturer To Introduce Koran-Accommodating Islamoflusher

It looks like I'm not the only one begging for a fatwa. Thanks to Filthy Allah for sending me the link. Oh, and don't forget to check out our Karnival of the Koran Krappings. Broken Newz:

An American toilet manufacturer is currently designing a new model that will "flush the bulkiest of Korans," sources said yesterday.

A spokesman for Krap King, Inc. said the company would have the new "Islamoflusher" model in stores for the spring, when Americans do their most flushing – sacred religious texts included. The new toilet would "help prevent and possibly eliminate" situations like the recent Newsweek story, which reported that American interrogators at Guantanamo Bay flushed a Koran down the toilet to "intimidate" suspected terrorists.
