CASMO Kool-Aid

I took my keester down to Al Quds Day,
You know to "protest" in the CASMO way.
But when I got down there I saw lotsa angry men
Who'd taken a big swallow of
Hate Potion #10.

The Ayatollah told 'em Jews ain't fine.
The Prophet turned 'em into apes and swine.
And Jews'll soon get theirs come the Armaggedeon.
So take a great big swallow of
Hate Potion #10.

They hoisted their placards and voiced their dismay.
They all hoped that Zion was goin' away.
It smelled like Judenhass and it was quite a display.
They hissed and seethed,
They whooped and swooped,
Like birds of prey.

They didn't know if twelfth imam had come.
Their protest left me feeling cold and numb.
And scapegoating the Jews'll happen
Time and time again
When angry people swallow down their
Hate Potion #10.

New Time for Bangash's Zion-Loathers' Blast

Great news for those who were wondering how they could juggle Jack Layton's state funeral and the Khomeinists' Al Quds par-tay at Queen's Park since both were scheduled for noon on Saturday. The Zion-loathers' soiree has been switched to 3 in the afternoon.

Can't hardly wait to whinge and seethe about that Zionist "usurpation" with the Ayatollah's man-in-Canuckistan, Brother Zafar Bangash, and all the Kooky KASMO Kidz!

Thomas L. Friedman's Lame Sports Metaphors

Barack H. Obama, saith smartypants TLF, is akin to a golfing whiz:

Obama is smart, decent and tough, with exactly the right instincts about where the country needs to go. He has accomplished a lot more than he’s gotten credit for — with an opposition dedicated to making him fail. But lately he is seriously off his game. He’s not Jimmy Carter. He’s Tiger Woods — a natural who’s lost his swing. He has so many different swing thoughts in his head, so many people whispering in his ear about what the polls say and how he needs to position himself to get re-elected, that he has lost all his natural instincts for the game. He needs to get back to basics.      

Yeah, like that's the problem--and the solution.

As for Republicans, Tom claims they're involved in a sporting event that's nowhere near as upscale as golf:

Many Americans can see that most of these G.O.P. candidates are closer to professional wrestlers than politicians — with their fake body slams and anti-Obama bluster. All they are missing are the Tarzan outfits.

Actually, isn't Obama--the man who shoved ObamaCare down Americans' throats--closer to the rough and tumble of professional wrestling than he is to genteel golf?

I suppose we should be grateful that Tom didn't compare Obama to the Jetsons and Republicans to the Flintstones.

Infidels and Islamists Clash Over Sharia-Compliant Student Loans

Here are two ways of looking at the same story about Muslim kidz in the U.K. demanding that the state lend them moolah for university based on the stipulations of sharia. There's the kafir way--from the Daily Mail. And there's the Islamist way--from onislam.

Oooo--How Edgy, Brave and Transgressive (Not)

Alleged funnyman Ricky Gervais appears as a crucified Jesus on the cover of New Humanist Magazine.

Edgy? Brave? Transgressive?

Well, maybe the last one, but he "transgresses" knowing full well he will come to no harm.

Try lampooning Islam's founder, Ricky, and see where it gets you. (G'head, I dares ya).

I suspect Ricky had another reason for appearing on the cover in this fashion: He wanted to show off his new skinny physique.

Should Israel Welcome Glenn Beck's Support?

Alan Dershowitz says yes, it should.

What If There Are No Good Guys?

Margaret Wente writes re the "Libyan Spring":

If you get the feeling the Western allies haven’t thought this through, you’re right. They appear to be making it up as they go along. As for Canada’s involvement, the only rationale is that NATO called, so we answered. Our media (which always need good guys and bad guys, for storytelling reasons) are generally depicting the fall of Tripoli as a triumph for the good guys. But it may really be a triumph for the forces of chaos and anarchy.

Also for the forces of sharia.

A Question No One Is Asking About Jack Layton

Here it is: Was it right of him to run in the last election knowing that he had cancer?

There, I said it..

Back in March, he faced a bunch of reporters who had concerns about his health, but who were hesitant to ask him about it because they felt it might be too personal and intrusive. Here's John Geddes' write up at the time in Maclean's:

Apparently, I’m not the only reporter who feels this way. When Layton took questions in the foyer of the House earlier today, CBC’s Laurie Graham prefaced her query about his health by saying, “It seems very personal, and I apologize for that.” Then Graham asked if Layton—who was diagnosed with prostate cancer early last year, underwent treatment, and then had hip surgery early this month—is still being treated for cancer. His answer:

Well, I work with my doctors on an ongoing basis like most people with cancer to monitor the situation. They’re happy with how things are going. And like so many people with cancer, you go off to work every day and provide for your families and get the job done. And I draw a lot of inspiration from Canadian people who are in that situation, hundreds of thousands of them, probably.

A flat out admission he still had cancer, no? Geddes goes on to write:

I reported in Maclean’s on the gist of Layton’s answers about his health. But with an election all but inevitable now, I thought there might be interest in a fuller transcript of that part of our exchange. We spoke in an NDP meeting room just off Parliament Hill on March 11, and I asked about his health before moving on to other questions:

Q.How did you break your hip?

A.I don’t know and the doctors don’t know. When I first began to feel the pain they did an X-ray and they literally could barely could see any fracture. They said it might be a fracture, why don’t we just take the weight off it and see if it heals up. Unfortunately, the bone was not able to handle the fracture. It just got worse. And before you knew it the only option was surgery. It wasn’t going to heal itself...

He didn't know and his doctors didn't know? Did no one think it might have had something to do with his cancer (since it's common knowledge in medical circles that the disease is often implicated in hip fractures)? Or did did he and they prefer to keep mum about it, and let Jack's famous optimism win out?

I guess what I'm really asking is: Did Layton and his docs have an inkling that he was sicker than he said he was, and if so, was it really responsible of him to plunge into a exhausting election campaign?

'A Brave Muslim Girl' Defends the Mosqueteria

This encounter between a "brave" champion of the faith who thinks gender segregation has a place in public schools and some "bigots" who beg to differ with that premise took place last month, but I came across it just now:
