Those Zionist trousers
Ian O'Doherty, in the Irish Independent, takes note of the Gaza Mall:
In 1947, Arabs from Palestine who dared break the Arab boycott against Palestinian Jews were subject to firebombs and murders. When will we see calls from some ideological moron from Olympia, WA to punish the Gazans for helping the Israeli economy?
And thus endeth the rant.
kthanxbai!
Gaza is, we're (un)reliably informed, the world's largest open-air prison. Indeed, in some of the more excitable circles of the anti-Israeli lobby, it's often referred to as a concentration camp; an analogy so obnoxious that it doesn't even merit mention.It is amusing that the BDS'ers have been silent about how Gazans are so happy to have Israeli goods available to them again, after years of being stuck with crap from their fellow Egyptian Arabs.
And in a flyer for a fundraising gig organised by the Irish Anti-War Movement (they're not really anti-war, just anything to do with the Yanks and Israel), they said: "Since the Israeli attack in December 2009, which killed over 1,400, the people of Gaza have been suffering the worst conditions ever. Israel's continuous siege of Gaza and blockade of humanitarian aid makes even the basic necessities such as school material for children, medical supplies etc an impossibility (sic)..."
How terrible. But the Gazans have one thing to look forward to -- they opened a giant, fully stocked shopping mall this week.
And among the delights on offer are, according to its website: "air conditioning, a parking lot, security guards, a full service supermarket and a food court."
It also boasts: "Israeli trousers at reasonable prices."
So, you can hate the evil Zionist pig-dog entity that will soon disappear if Allah has his way (praise be upon him) but, in fairness, the Jews make comfy chinos, so we'll make an exception.
But just this once, mind.

Living MOH Recipient
After the UK increased the number of living Victoria Cross winners a few years ago the American Military Machine are finally waking up to the fact that they have no sight to the end of a war that has already gone on for 11 years.
There is finally going to be a living recipient of the Medal of Honor.
And you'll never need to buy another drink in a bar. Ever.

There is finally going to be a living recipient of the Medal of Honor.
SSG Sal Giunta, a paratrooper w/ the 173rd Airborne, will be awarded the first Medal of Honor given to a living recipient since the Vietnam War. He earned this by charging a group of Taliban who were trying to make off with a wounded comrade in the Korengal Valley of Afghanistan. His actions broke the Taliban’s attack and allowed him to regain control of SGT Josh Brennan. He also saved the lives of the many other members of his unit who had been caught in a fixed ambush by the Taliban. Giunta didn’t hesitate one second before advancing on his own to ensure the enemy would never take one of ours, but sadly Josh Brennan was too badly wounded to survive. His cousin PVT Joe Brennan recently graduated airborne school and has joined the same unit proudly carrying on Josh’s memory.Congratulations SSG Sal Giunta, a grateful nation salutes you.
And you'll never need to buy another drink in a bar. Ever.

Going All Serious
Don't worry, I'm only getting all serious for this one post.
I just get so upset by what is happening in Israel that I want to post a couple of these YouTube videos and get your reactions.
And it says a lot when a normal teenager decides to post a literate, concise plea for help from the world:
And a nice prize is on offer for anyone who can answer all of Dry Bones' questions below:

American on Purpose, The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot
American on Purpose, The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot by Craig Ferguson
Yes, that Craig Ferguson.
I’m not a huge fan of his. I liked him in The Drew Carey Show and he was an interesting actor in a few films and sitcoms. But I do like him on The Late Late Show. One episode really got to me, the one where he talks from the heart about why he became an American citizen. It is on YouTube in 4 or 5 parts – go Google it!!
I bought this book because I respected the guy and I wanted to see what his story was.
Its an interesting story about a Scottish lad who actually didn’t have it so tough, turned to comedy and mad a go of it. The real story is in how he made it despite of himself. Drugs, women and kilts.
Oh, and did I mention that he is an alcoholic? And was serious about committing suicide at least one time?
An interesting guy, an interesting book and definitely worth a read.

Vuvuzela, Venzuela,
The world is looking at South Africa now, and more specifically at the World Cup 2010, of which Nelson Mandela is rightfully proud.
South Africa is showing that it can be a host to a world event, especially after all the worries about the astonishingly high level of violence and crime in certain areas of the country.
There are still issues with the South Africans though, and something that is ruining the occasion of today's football greats playing each other and that is the vuvuzlea.
No, not the Plavalaguna character from the Bruce Willis film, The Fifth Element, but rather a long trumpet or bugle that gives out an insidious noise. And the buggers keep blowing them throughout the match!
As if the players didn't have enough excuses as to why they lost the game / missed the shot / couldn't concentrate on kicking the ball.

Personally I fear that Diego Maradona is taking his integration into South African society a bit too seriously -

Not like in my day when we had marching bands and ghillie suits. Oh wait, that can't be right....
But they did bring us the internet classic which has over 51,444,817 hits with them dancing all over treadmills.
As well as this great music video - beats the bollards out of Micheal Jackson multi-million dollar videos.

High seas - high jinks
I'm pretty miffed right now.
I get annoyed when people lie to my face, or think I'm stupid enough to believe the nonsense they spout.
To learn more than Fox, CNN, Al-Jezeera and Sky are telling you about today's escapades on the high seas, I suggest you read what The Muqata has to say in his live blogging.

8:14 PM As we start wrapping up today's events, its not surprising to see the world's condemnation of Israel. We expect it. Regardless of the non-lethal force the IDF was expecting to use, or the "peace activists" Israel was expecting on the ships, today's events spiraled out of control as terrorists brutally attacked IDF soldiers with intent to kill.
