Bush Shoe Throw Grave Insult

Duck. Duck. Bush.

Bush Shoe Throw Grave Insult? If you haven’t been following the news lately, there was a press conference in Iraq. The secret service makes sure the attendees are completely free of any kind of conventional weapons. But that doesn’t include shoes. So an Iraq national took off his shoes and started hurling them at the lame duck President. So what now? Will future press conferences require participants to remove their shoes? -And would they catch the errant shoe anyway? Maybe everybody should just walk around naked with a chip in their ear.

Does anyone find this a little silly? Most major media outlets are reporting that, in the Arab World, throwing a shoe is a “grave insult.” What does that mean? If he threw his laptop PDA, phone, balled up socks, or anything else, it is less of an insult in the Arab world? –or any world for that matter? I guess he could have thrown rice. Then he might have just looked like a confused wedding crasher.

The British government has caved to Islamist extremism against the British Royal Air Force (RAF) Wittering in Peterborough. There have been incidents of verbal abuses against the RAF servicemen, and in response, the RAF management has ordered their servicemen not to wear uniforms in public.

This is not the first time servicemen have been given such commands. Extremists have made credible threats in other parts of Britain including Yorkshire and Birmingham. One included a threat to kidnap and behead a member of the military.

David Motari Marine Puppy Toss Video

Here’s a video that was obviously staged, yet people have become very incensed by its existence. It wasn’t a good idea to make this video. Staged or not, the person or people responsible should be punished. It demonstrates that the American Soldier is an evil creep that should be despised. If the video is pulled and it likely will be, please comment and we will offer a link to other sources.

Yep; Sure enough, It got pulled. A link to an independent source is here.

We think the video was staged Here’s Why:
When the soldier shows the puppy in the beginning it does not seem to be moving. If it was alive in the first view, the way the shot was staged it likely was dropped and traded for a doll, and inserting the yelping sound is easy enough to do.

If it was not a staged video then it is just sick. Weather it was staged or not, it was done in poor judgment and the authors need to be disciplined. They were wearing American uniforms.

Do American soldiers need bad press? The video should not be pulled but a very public sensure should follow to demonstrate to people across the United States and the world that Americans at large find this unaaceptable. Just stupid. No FutonPoncho nominee’s here. Matari, Morati, We’ll keep you informed of this and other no so entertaining news.

Because that’s the way we do it in Texas.

A Danish reporter was saved by a secret service agent at President George Bush’s ranch. President Bush is meeting with Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen at his Crawford Texas ranch. Terkel Svenson is a reporter who travels with, and covers news stories related to the Prime Minister.

The journalist complained he couldn’t get a good internet connection to send his report through, so he wandered around on his phone in attempt to get a signal and ended up on a neighbors property.

The neighbor, an elderly woman, had her handgun drawn and was ready to shoot. A member of President Bush’s secret service team intervened and diffused the situation. Welcome to America Mr. Svenson!

Ricin found in Las Vegas Hotel Room

One person is in the hospital with a coma, and six others have been hospitalized for observation. Yet the reports are that this is not related to terrorism. So what is it related to? -A high school chemistry project gone bad? Ricin is made from castor beans and has been used in research to treat cancer patients in diluted amounts.

Ricin will kill you if you ingest the equivalent of one grain of table salt. “The event does not appear to be terrorism related.”FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said.

It seems the only possible explanation that would identify this is not a terrorism related event, is if the guest who had the ricin, was working for a medical agency. Even if this is the case, what was he doing with it in his hotel room?
