Rants of a Fuzzy Curmudgeon

ALL THESE WERE HONOURED IN THEIR GENERATIONS
AND WERE THE GLORY OF THEIR TIMES
THERE BE OF THEM
THAT HAVE LEFT A NAME BEHIND THEM
THAT THEIR PRAISES MIGHT BE REPORTED
AND SOME THERE BE WHICH HAVE NO MEMORIAL
WHO ARE PERISHED AS THOUGH THEY HAD NEVER BEEN
AND ARE BECOME AS THOUGH THEY HAD NEVER BEEN BORN
AND THEIR CHILDREN AFTER THEM
BUT THESE WERE MERCIFUL MEN
WHOSE RIGHTEOUSNESS HATH NOT BEEN FORGOTTEN
WITH THEIR SEED SHALL CONTINUALLY REMAIN
A GOOD INHERITANCE
AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE WITHIN THE COVENANT
THEIR SEED STANDETH FAST
AND THEIR CHILDREN FOR THEIR SAKES
THEIR SEED SHALL REMAIN FOR EVER
AND THEIR GLORY SHALL NOT BE BLOTTED OUT
THEIR BODIES ARE BURIED IN PEACE
BUT THEIR NAME LIVETH FOREVERMORE

Regular bloggage will resume tomorrow.

Billy McKinney is still despicable. But we’ll see tomorrow what the results of the runoff in Georgia are.
HMM: I just found the current counts:
STATE HOUSE DISTRICT 44
9 of 23 precincts reporting.
Democrats Votes Pct.
John Noel 1,269 96
Billy McKinney (i) 48 4
Absentee ballots not included.
This was as of 10:27 PM EDT (about an hour ago). Looks like Billy may be on the way to a good old-fashioned skunkin’.

Young Sarah Kopelovich has suddenly found out the hard way that the people she thought were her staunch allies and supporters were really just fair-weather friends shilling for her vote.
But many Jews have been bathing in the cool waters of the right for years. We knew that the “liberal” statist “caring” left was not our natural political home, and we’ve been trying to say so ever since so many of us (alas, not nearly enough of us) voted for Ronaldus Magnus.
Jews in America would do well to cut loose their ties with the Democratic Party. It is no more representative of us than, well, as Sarah would likely observe, the Nazis. You’re hardly alone, Sarah. Come on in. The water’s fine.
And we’re proud of you, too.

Jed Babbin on why the EU is NATO’s greatest enemy.

The Palestinians just keep betting on the wrong horse.

In this article on the reliability (or lack thereof) of CAIR polls, Howard Fienberg makes this interesting observation:

[CAIR] also continues to insist that, “There are an estimated seven million Muslims in America,” based on its 2000 survey of mosques, while a STATS investigation in November estimated the number is closer to about two million, give or take a few hundred thousand.

Huh. Imagine that. A pressure group overstating its numbers.

UPDATE: Stupid me. In my haste to make sure the population article was linked, I forgot to link the polling article 🙂

We appear to have escalated to an Orange level (“High”) alert, according to Fox News. Ashcroft was just on Fox talking about it.

because the guy who was supposed to be front-line product support conveniently decided to be sick. So guess who got stuck doing front-line product support for a bunch of technically-impaired moron customers. (Well, some of them aren’t morons or technically-impaired. But the vast majority today seem to be.)

of course, needs no introduction here. Go read.

One more tonight.
