Much ado about nothing - What in Hussein's name?

OK Mr. Obama I believe you.  You are not a Muslim, OK?

Who cares that your middlename is Hussein anyway, it's just a name and you don't even like to use it.

There once was a Saddam Hussein, he was known as "the butcher of Baghdad".  He was a Muslim, but that has nothing to do with you. 

I have a cousin named Hussein, he grew up to be just fine and so did many other Husseins I grew up with.  There also was a king named Hussein.  He was married to an American, OK she was an Arab-American, but still.  He was a Muslim too, but rumor has it among Jordanians, he converted to Christianity shortly before he died.  But those are just rumors and he's not around anymore, so who cares?  I'm just glad you're still around to dispel the rumors about you, and guess what?  I'm still not going to vote for you.  I'm sorry but I'm not allowed.  But if I were allowed to vote, it would probably be a toss up between the other two. Not because I think they're that much better than you, it's just that there aren't that many choices.

It's just a sign of the times Mr. Obama, try not to pay attention to any of that and I'll try not to pay attention to you.

Obama tells Jewish leaders: I have never been a Muslim - Haaretz - Israel News

"My grandfather, who was Kenyan, converted to Christianity, then converted to Islam," Obama said Sunday. "My father never practiced; he was basically agnostic. So, other than my name and the fact that I lived in a populous Muslim country for four years when I was a child, I have very little connection to the Islamic religion."

Mr McCain has lambasted Mr Obama over remarks he made in Tuesday's debate when he said he would reserve the right to send troops back into Iraq if "al-Qaeda is forming a base in Iraq". Mr McCain retorted: "I have some news. Al-Qaeda is in Iraq. It's called al-Qaeda in Iraq."

Would YOU consider owning a fake Ferrari?

I've never seen as many knock-offs being sold out on the streets as when I lived in New York.  It was mostly little stuff though....purses, watches, jeans, you name it, but I don't know about cars.

In Sicily, you can own a fake Ferrari

ROME: Italians are used to buying bogus Gucci bags or Rolex watches to look stylish but police found a new height of craftsmanship and cunning when they broke up a ring selling fake Ferrari cars for a fraction of the real price. Police accused 15 people of building the blood red sports cars and selling them to car fanatics on a budget, most of whom knew they were buying a counterfeit classic.

I'm not asking you to love me

Just please don't hate.

Dutch Ministers Warn Wilders

Dutch Ministers Ernst Hirsch Ballin (Justice Department) and Maxime Verhagen (Foreign Affairs) held an emergency meeting with Wilders yesterday, to discuss the serious consequences if he goes through with broadcasting his anti-Islam movie "Fitna".

Hirsch Ballin warned Wilders that he should expect legal consequences, if the content of his film incites to hatred or blasphemy.

Naturally Geert Wilders is not happy about this, he complained that "it was an hour of intimidation". 

Wilders: pure intimidatie - Binnenland - Telegraaf.nl

AMSTERDAM -  PVV-leider Geert Wilders is woedend over een gesprek dat de ministers Ernst Hirsch Ballin (Justitie) en Maxime Verhagen (Buitenlandse Zaken) woensdagmiddag met hem hadden over zijn anti-Koranfilm. „Het was een uur intimidatie”, zei Wilders na afloop.

That Fitna dude once more...

Geert wilders has found a way to bypass censorship for his upcoming movie "Fitna".  He has found an American provider to host his domain fitnamovie.com, just like many other European hate sites have done before him. 

Hundreds of foreign-language websites are using U.S. servers to dodge laws abroad that prohibit Holocaust denial or racist and anti-Semitic speech. Incorporated by businesses in the United States, they thrive out of reach of prosecutors in Europe, Canada and elsewhere.

He registered the domain just yesterday and the site hasn't been launched yet.

Update:

A blogger from Pakistan weighs in:

Geert Wilder speaks on “Fitna” his movie. « Deadpan Thoughts

Now that youtube has been unbanned, although the reason for it has been removed, which was Mr Geert Wilders video against Islam called “Fitna”. We here in Pakistan can get a look at what this idiot is preaching.

I do not call him an idiot because he is voicing his opinion or engaging in his right of Free speech. However to call the faith of 1.5 Billion people of this world retarded and to claim that Muslims are just about killing everyone else is idiotic and ignorant at least, fascist and racist at worst. How is this different from fanatic Mullahs pooh poohed by all of us for giving death fatwas against leaders of the western world?

Jonas Brothers

Last Friday night I took my daughter and her friend to the Jonas Brothers concert at the All State Arena in Rosemont, like most moms with teenage girls in suburban Chicago did that night.  What a mistake that was! 

We had good seats and the boys looked great, nice moves, handsome outfits and all as far as I could see, but I couldn't hear a thing of what they were actually singing, nada.

I will never go to a concert again if it's one that generally attracts young teenage girls.  The raging hormones were unbearable to my poor eardrums.  All they did for what seemed like an eternity was scream at the top of their lungs. 

Goodness gracious, the noise was dangerously deafening! 

I can only compare it to the loud mating noise produced by cicadas at the height of their mating season, but then a hundred times louder and multiplied by twenty thousand.  At one point I looked all around me to observe the crazy madness up close just for the heck of it and for at a split second I imagined I saw not bunch of cute teenage girls, but whole host of huge nasty mean screaming cicadas with vampire fangs out to get those boys.  I wished to pass out right then and there and wake up the next day.  There was actually one moment when I was standing taking pictures and I feared my wish was about to be granted.  I got lightheaded and I quickly sat down and forced my head down to let the blood rush to my head. Now granted, I've been suffering from a severe cold for about a week, but still...I wouldn't recommend the experience to anyone.  Be kind to your ears, pay a teenage babysitter who might actually enjoy the experience to take your kids to the concert.

Imagine the horror, if I would have actually fainted and made the news as the pathetic mom who fainted at the Jonas brothers concert.
