Some Mathematics on Norway and terrorist attacks.......

As I write this it appears that the Norway terrorist attacks are the work of one, possibly two, killer(s).

And it is being trumpeted wide and far that this killer is a right wing fundamentalist Nazi Christian who hates Muslims.

Perhaps. Also perhaps he is a nutcase like the IRS attacker and the killer who attacked Rep Gifford.

Of course that will be ignored, or perhaps the lie that they are "right wingers" will be trotted out again and again in a thousand Leftie genres for the education of those of us who are not paying attention.

We get this whenever a non-Muslim attacks and whenever a Muslim attacks. Always the same.... "But....but.....just look at all of those "Christian attacks!"

I have a great deal of trouble accepting that the Oklahoma killers or the Norway killers or the IRS killer were practicing Christians.

I also have a tendency to bring this up.

Given that the US Christian population is around 300 million and the Muslim population is around 1.5 million, what weighting should we give to the population size disparity?? 300:1? 280:1?

I mean if all factors besides population number are the same, shouldn't the number of attacks be the same?

And don't forget the known planned/attempted unsuccessful attacks stopped by our security forces.

So if the number of attacks by radical Muslims since 1991 are around 20, shouldn't there be a million or so attacks by Christians???

And could you show me the international organization that is sponsoring/teaching/preaching that Christians attack us, and other Christians of different denominations??

Of course no such organization exists. Islamic organizations do.

And I return to what I wrote earlier. ......if all factors besides population number are the same, shouldn't the number of attacks be the same?

There is a difference. There is a driver and Osama bin Ladin explained it during his interview with Peter Arnett, then employed by CNN:

REPORTER: Mr. Bin Ladin, will the end of the United States' presence in Saudi Arabia, their withdrawal, will that end your call for jihad against the United States and against the US ?

BIN LADIN: The cause of the reaction must be sought and the act that has triggered this reaction must be eliminated. The reaction came as a result of the US aggressive policy towards the entire Muslim world and not just towards the Arabian peninsula. So if the cause that has called for this act comes to an end, this act, in turn, will come to an end. So, the driving-away jihad against the US does not stop with its withdrawal from the Arabian peninsula, but rather it must desist from aggressive intervention against Muslims in the whole world.

In case anyone is geography challenged, the US and western Europe is part of "the whole world." We exist. Therefore we are attacked.

Why does the media lie??

The NYT lies again.

WASHINGTON — Negotiations over a broad deficit reduction plan collapsed in acrimony on Friday after House Speaker John A. Boehner suddenly broke off talks with President Barack Obama, raising the risk of an economy-shaking default.

snip

A visibly angry President Obama, in a hastily scheduled White House news conference, demanded that Congressional leaders come to the White House on Saturday morning.

“I want them here at 11 a.m. tomorrow,” Mr. Obama said. “They are going to have to explain to me how it is that we are going to avoid default.”

NYTimes

There are three things wrong with this article.

First, Congress is an equal member of Government. Boehner is an equal. This is not a bannana republic. Well, not yet, anwyway. Boehner doesn't have to "show up" and he doesn't have to explain a damn thing to our man child Prez.

Secondly, Obamie, our man child Prez, has never presented a plan to do anything. It would be helpful if he did, but then he couldn't lie and change his mind every 10 minutes.

Thirdly, if we do not extend the debt ceiling, we will not be in default.

Our current revenue per month is around $200 billion. Our debt service (loan payments) is around $20 billion. We can easily pay that.

Think of it like this. Your credit card has a limit of $10,000. You will exceed that amount after 8/2. You don't ask for a credit line increase but you pay the bill from the credit card company. You are not in default.

What we will have to do is decide what we will spend the leftover money on.

You know. A BUDGET. Wow. What a concept!

Perhaps we should consider firing everyone in the EPA, close down education and energy, stop all foreign aid, freeze hiring, cut all salaries 15% and bring all military people home from places like Germany, S Korea, Kosovo... everywhere we are not in combat.

When we have done that we can talk about what else needs to be cut.

No charge for the education, dear Lefties.

This one's for harrogate

A few days ago I posted a piece about VO 67 and their secret mission in the Vietnam war era. It concluded with this:

Estimates of 75% loss of VO-67 Aircraft and combat crews by planners fortunately did not occur. Thanks to the Air Force FAC Pilots training and intelligence reports only 3 aircraft and 20 crewmembers were lost

I don't know the manning level of VO 67 but a typical P2 squadron had 12 aircraft with a crew of 11 each. A loss of 3 would be 25% and 20 crewmembers, which sounds like almost two complete crews to me. Better than the projection but big numbers when taken from a small group.

May their souls have found peace.

And may all the demonstrators whose protests extended that war rot in hell.

A commentator with the moniker of “Harrogate” has commented:

Hahahahahhahaha.

I have been trying to think of something to say in response.

But I have figured out that he is too stupid to understand anything subtle. So I have decided to do this post and use language he may be intelligent enough to understand.

It takes a special piece of shit to laugh at deaths of our service men.

Potatoes

Well, a Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other. And finally they got married, and had a little sweet potato, which they called 'Yam.'

Of course, they wanted the best for Yam.

When it was time, they told her about the facts of life.

They warned her about going out And getting half-baked, so she
wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad Name for herself like
'Hot Potato,' and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots

Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and Make a
rotten potato out of her!

But on the other hand she Wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato
either.

She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her
Shoestring Cousins.

When she went off to Europe , Mr. And Mrs. Potato told Yam to watch out
for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland .

And the Greasy guys from France called the French Fries.

And when she went out West, To watch out for the Indians so she
wouldn't get scalloped..

Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't
associate with those high class Yukon Golds, or the ones from the other
side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that
say, 'Frito Lay.'

Mr. And Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University )
so that when she graduated she'd really be in the Chips.

But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home And
announced she was going to marry Tom Brokaw.

Tom Brokaw!

Mr and Mrs. Potato were very upset.

They told yam she couldn't possibly marry Tom Brokaw because he's
just.......


Are you ready for this?

Those dirty China Commies are causing global cooling

Or, at the least, stopping global warming.

Yeah. Really. Now pay attention and follow me on this. Let's set the stage.

There is no statistically significant warming trend since November of 1996 in monthly surface temperature records compiled at the University of East Anglia. Do we now understand why there’s been no change in fourteen and a half years?

Now since we all know that global warming was caused by man, then the cooling has to the fault of man.

If you read the news stories surrounding a recent paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Boston University’s Robert Kaufmann and three colleagues, you’d say yes, indeed. It’s China’s fault. By dramatically increasing their combustion of coal, they have increased the concentration of fine particles in the atmosphere called sulphate aerosols, which reflect away solar radiation, countering the warming that should be occurring from increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Now, what should we do??? Attack China? Noooooooooooooooo. We need to buy more stuff from Walmart!

Further, if this is true, then (as is usual in climate-world), “it’s worse than we thought.” After all, China will eventually reduce their sulfate emissions as their population becomes affluent enough to demand something better than miasmic air. Indeed, they are already beginning to clean things up, and when they finally do, all the cooling particles will be gone and the earth will warm substantially.

Of course what the hoaxers and controllers tell us is that we must prepare for this to happen.

No wonder the general public is rejecting this crap.

Sometimes you don't want to know

Three women die together in an accident
And go to heaven.

When they get there, St. Peter says,
'We only have one rule here in heaven:
Don't step on the ducks!'

So they enter heaven, and sure enough,
There are ducks all over the place.
It is almost impossible not to step on a duck,
And although they try their best to avoid them,
The first woman accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw.
St. Peter chains them together and says,
'Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to
Spend eternity chained to this ugly man!'

The next day,
The second woman steps accidentally on a duck
And along comes St. Peter,
Who doesn't miss a thing.
With him is another extremely ugly man.
He chains them together
With the same admonishment as for the first woman.

The third woman has observed all this and,
Not wanting to be chained
For all eternity to an ugly man, is very,
VERY careful where she steps.

She manages to go months
Without stepping on any ducks,
But
One day St.Peter comes up to her
With the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on
.... Very tall, long eyelashes, muscular.




St. Peter chains them together without saying a word.

The happy woman says,
'I wonder what I did to deserve being
Chained to you for all of eternity?'

The guy says,
'I don't know about you,
But I stepped on a Duck.

Iran attacks in Iraq

This what happens when your President tells our enemies when he will bring our troops home.

And yeah, I know the difference between Afghanistan and Iraq but stop and think of what Iran heard.

"Hey, we can do what we want!"

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces have taken control of three bases of an Iranian Kurdish opposition group in neighboring Iraq, the state news agency reported Monday.

IRNA quoted Colonel Delavar Ranjbarzadeh, a local commander of the powerful Revolutionary Guard, as saying "a large number" of members of the Iranian Kurdish opposition group PEJAK have been killed in fierce clashes over the past two days. The clashes are still ongoing.
