Bosom Buddies

A bit of humorless consternation today . . .

Here is the wiki entry for William Ayers, a "Distinguished Professor of Education" at the University of Illinois at chicago (but perhaps better known for his role as a 1960s "anti-war activist" and cofounder of the Weather Underground).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ayers

Gee, isn't that sweet? "Anti-war activist." Good grief, this scum of the earth was as much of a domestic terrorist at the time as any numbnuts Al Quaida operative today - and remains unrepentant to this very day.

Oh, and let's not forget that poster child for peace, Bernardine Dohrn, former leader of the Weather Underground, bomb tosser, blushing bride of Ayers, and now Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardine_Dohrn

Perhaps more interesting than the actual wiki is the ongoing discussion among the article authors and detractors:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bernardine_Dohrn

What I find most troubling about this discussion is that there is any question whatsoever about the Weather Underground having been a terrorist organization (and hence, by extension, the leaders of such organization themselves being labeled as terrorists). I claim that any reasonable, commonsense definition of domestic terrorism could not fail to include the Weather Underground as a striking example of same. If IT is not, then what, for God's sake, WOULD qualify? Ludicrous to have even need of discussing this point.

Ayers and Dohrn - quite a pair. And not exactly strangers to Lord Obama despite his every protestation to the contrary - but, hey, who's keeping track? Certainly not those bastions of investigative journalism and impartial reporting such as the New York Times.

So, for our own backgrounder, here's is the wiki entry for Bill Keller, the executive editor of that piece of shit newspaper, The New York Times. Perhaps under his stewardship it may simply be that the piece of shit which is the newspaper has taken on the persona of that piece of who is the executive editor.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Keller

Keller is in the bag for Obama and makes no bones about it. Just as he has an equal level of animosity for Bill O'Reilly of Fox News. So much for the last shred of dignity of the fourth estate. Gone. All gone.

Returning for the moment, and to close, with Ayers, I'd like to suggest that some of us who disagreed with his point of view in the 1960s may not, ourselves, have done enough (to mirror his own sentiments as expressed in an article in the New York Times that appeared in the issue of 9/11/2001 (!).

In this regard, some of you may find Ayers' own comments regarding this topic of some interest (from his blog in April of this year):

Truly "lawlerly" response (LMAO).

Flaming the Flamebaiter

Gee, fellow bloggers, you may as well pack in your keyboards and get another life . . . judgment has been rendered by "one who knows" that your time is wasted with your minimalist literary contributions:

http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2008/10/21/blogs-are-so-over-wired-magazine-says/

Who knew?

In addition to that posting in Wired magazine, the efeed from "Good Morning Silicon Valley" picked up the same reference and tossed it to today's readers - many of whom, like yourselves and yours truly, are likely guilty of wasting their time blogging instead of contributing to the value of the web with twittering all and sundry, posting photos of their latest bore on Flick'r, and scribbling furiously on Facebook walls (only to see it scroll off the displayable contents after one or two days because the Facebook doyens are busily updating your profile with news about all the inane gifts your friends are giving one another in a spirited attempt to "save the world" with nothing more than virtual pilgramages to the la-la-land of warm feelings.

Whew. And that curmudgeonly diatribe is on top of the response I've already made today to the notice in GMSV (g):

Laughing Upside Down

Our Aussie cousins always know how to have a good time. Here's a small collection of political cartoons from Down Under that may suggest they have a better grasp of our situation than we do ourselves. (Please note that the contents of these cartoons remain the intellectual property of each of the respective copyright holders as referenced in the illustrations, and that I am posting them here on the assumptions both that fair use doctrine would permit me to use these for illustrative purposes of political commentary and that the originators would not take umbrage for this additional airing of their most excellent work. Does flattery work?)

The Weird World Archive

Following are my personal links to "recent" news articles of interest regarding the bizarre, the weird, and the absolutely inane as of 19 October 2008. Obviously there are many, many more such stories that appear on the web; these are simply a very few of my favorites, and I hope you will enjoy them. The links are organized by dates which take the form yymmdd (i.e., 080723 is 23 July 2008).

The Government and Society Archive

Following are my personal links to "recent" news articles of interest regarding politics as of 19 October 2008. The links are organized by dates which take the form yymmdd (i.e., 080723 is 23 July 2008).

A bit of explanation may be helpful for this archive. In this category I collect links to a fairly wide-ranging set of articles which either strike me as signature events on Western civilization's rocket ride to a meaningless future or as inchstones on the path as we slouch toward Babylon (to borrow a phrase) . . . take your pick. Many (if not most) of you, including, I'm certain, numerous friends and family members, will disagree with my selections based on my personal points of view and sense of morality. And that is your right - and one I would defend at high cost, as is mine to freely express my own opinions herein (at least until it's been circumscribed - or eliminated entirely - by authoritarian dictate). As you'll note from some of the links that I've already collected recently in this category, however, there are warning signs that this freedom, too, may be somewhat short-lived, at least to the extent we've been able to practice it in the United States since our founding. On with the show . . .

The World of Islam and Terrorism Archive

Following are my personal links to "recent" news articles of interest regarding Islamic society and terrorism as of 19 October 2008. The links are organized by dates which take the form yymmdd (i.e., 080723 is 23 July 2008).

In preface, as an aside, and in anticipation of some comments that may be directed toward me, I offer absolutely no apology for my clustering of these topics within the same venue. In my personal opinion they are intimately tied and auger nothing but misery for anyone caught in their embrace. In fact, let me be perfectly blunt and clear about this: I consider the tenets of Islam (and anyone who embraces them unquestioningly) to be the single greatest threat that we face today to the continued existence of Western civilization - just as they have been throughout the ages, albeit slinking back into the dark during historic periods whenever it became obvious that they could not make further headway at the moment with outright aggression.

At some future date I may post a list of resource material (primarily books) that anyone wishing to pursue this topic may care to read. (Those near me can request loans - including a multilingual copy of the Koran.)
