Welcome To Saudi Britain
I wasn’t going to link to this, but now that YouTube has deleted it for “terms of use” violations, I want everybody to see it.
Update:
I’m adding his name, Pat Condell, to make it easier to find via search engines. Pat Condell on Saudi Britain. Oh, and I’ll add the term “Islamic Porn” because my post of that name gets found pretty much every day by someone doing a web search for it. I’m sure it’s all for research.
What’s for Dinner?
Harriet Hall has a nice post up about Michael Pollan’s book. He’s the “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” guy.
We have been bamboozled by “nutritionism” – the idea that food can be reduced to a mixture of identifiable nutrients, that we can’t be trusted to eat right without scientific help, that we should choose foods to make us healthy rather than to provide pleasure (which fits right into the time-honored guilt trip that anything that feels good must be bad).
I really like her version of the rule:
Eat a variety of foods. Not too much. Mostly plants.
Do Not Fear the Change
The usa.gov web site needs a redesign.
Do not fear these changes! Like other similar socialist leaders and thinkers before him—Marx, Lenin, De Leon, Debs, Trotsky, Chavez, and others—Obama seeks to destroy only the most successful among us. You, as a member of the honorable and patriotic middle-class, will only benefit from these changes so that all Americans can enter the middle-class and all equally receive entitlement from our benevolent Socialist government.
I am shocked.
Shocked! To learn that a Chicago machine politician may be violating campaign finance laws.
Unlike the McCain campaign, which has made its complete donor database available online, the Obama campaign has not identified donors for nearly half the amount he has raised, according to the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP).
Federal law does not require the campaigns to identify donors who give less than $200 during the election cycle. However, it does require that campaigns calculate running totals for each donor and report them once they go beyond the $200 mark.
Surprisingly, the great majority of Obama donors never break the $200 threshold.
The right way to do campaign finance reform is not the idiotic, unconstitutional way McCain/Feingold did it, but with total transparency. You really only need two rules: 1) You must be a citizen to donate. 2) All donations, of any size, must be publicly recorded on a web site within 48 hours. Putting limits on donations is wrong, and only invites this kind of slimy behavior anyway.
Update:
At least his Muslim supporters aren’t violating any tax laws.
