Islamofacists
 

The nattering nabobs of no-nothingness who desecrate this board with their faux centrist chatter border on treason by indulging in the phallacy that the Islamofacists are anything other than homocidal monsters. These rabid animals who strap on bombs and kill innocents for media publicity are dangerous cancerous deluded cultist misfits. Marching locked in a modern day goosestep as a thuggish pack unintelligent sociopathic maniacal drone followers of an alcoholic pedophile who worships violence, murder and hatred for America, its Patriots and Freedom. This Is-lame that they profess is not a religion but a cult breeding a perversely terroristic hatred in its path while glorifying the oppression of women, the buggery of young boys, marriage to 5 year olds, ritualistic beheadings, infidelicide, and a submit or die ethic more worthy of wild kingdom than civilized society.

Commander-in-Chief George W. Bush said it best when he proclaimed, “you are either with us or against us in the crusade against radical Islam”

Here's an example of the type of fellow centrist the left of this board and the blew states defend:

Mmmmm, beheadings!

Blew in the tumbleweeds, more likely.

You might want to either work on a sense of humor, or put that telescoping baton to a better -- though less scatologically graphic -- personal use. (Those telescoping batons aren't well suited for that, though -- they're necessarily rather slender.)

Caption contest? "I've got one of those promised white rasins under the podium"?

Wrong board, dude, take it to the FB.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I prefer things that vibrate and are designed for that use. And have a couple. Anyway, STP, I was just making him feel at home.

I'm betting on that Boeing thing that they are using this as a reason to have him "resign" rather that something else in the background or whatever. Whether or not that is the case, you may not be aware, but Boeing's been having some "ethics" "problems" and apparently put in some new "code" of "conduct" in response to those "problems" and the CEO's behavior apparently expressly violated the new code, which is kind of a "PR" "disaster" when you are trying to convince people that really, you aren't an unethical company, and the improper relationship with the government procurement officer was just an aberration.

That said, I could give a shit that he had an affair, but it was stupid of him to approve the ethical code that made this verboten, or to engage in the behavior prohibited under the new ethical code he had approved.

I don't really think that anybody living in today's world is going to forget the innocent passersby getting blown up by suicide bombers. Nor did the neocon strategists who dreamt up the "homicide bomber" tag.

And I'll accept BRC's suggested edit vis a vis "victim."

Just when I thought I was starting to figure it out.
 

Are you talking batter-dipped and fried, like a corn dog?

Dissent. I believe that the self-sacrifice aspect of the bombing is equally important, if not more so.

That means he's not a martyr. It doesn't make him a suicide bomber. Unless his chosen method was a bomb.

I wasn't making a value choice per se over which term is more accurate from a language standpoint. My criticism is that the adoption of the term "homicide bomber" was a cynical attempt by the neocons to marginalize the bomber. As you yourself point out immediately above, this is a mistake both linguistically and strategically. "The guy's willingness to blow himself up," and become a martyr to his cause is what makes these particular terrorists so fucking dangerous.

pssst, old man, he's one of your guys.

The "your party" comment wasn't meant in the sense of "youse guyz", but in the generic "the party of the person doing the imagining" sense. I reread this after posting, and realized it could be read that way, but I was too lazy to edit. See what it gets me?

Bono, crooning his way to third world debt
 

The Guardian reports that Bono may become the next president of the World Bank. See what a tour with Paul O'Neill in Africa will get you?

Upside: Summer afternoon concerts on H Street.

Downside: Anyone with an afternoon commute within 45 blocks of H Street.




FWIW, they're consideing Bono for the wrong agency anyway. Clearly, it should be the IAEA.
