Profiling

Got this via email, I’ve sort of touched on this in the past.  No need “Scoping” it, I’ve left off the part that goes over the top:
In the event you’ve missed this - worse forgotten it, a gentle reminder!!
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality That they imagine that America can suffer [...]

Those pesky swarming Iranian boats

Posted by Moonage on 09 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: International Issues, International Politics, National Security

A lot is being made of the Straight of Hormuz incident between the US and Iran a few days ago.  The US claims it was harassed and provoked, the Iranians said originally it never happened.  You be the judge, here IS the incident as provided by The Pentagon:

Now that the whole world can see it, [...]

Rafsanjani, Hitler, and Ann Coulter?

You know you’re in a bad way when Google’s context sensitive advertising does this:

Now, ya just gotta wonder why “Ann Coulter” would even come up in an article that never mentions her.  More politics by Google?  Or, is Ann’s name now so synonomous with “Jew” that Google’s engine just can’t help it?
Honestly, I would not place [...]

Why I’ll never run for national office

Or probably any office for that matter.  Check this out:
At the event in North Hampton, Iowa, a questioner took issue with Clinton’s recent Senate vote calling on President Bush to formally call the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. He argued that such a distinction confers the president with the ability to invade the country.

Supporting human rights violations in Iran?

Posted by Moonage on 03 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, International Issues, International Politics

Congress passed another non-binding resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran.  Specifically targeting those protesting labor rights in Iran.  This bill passed 418-1.  Wanna guess who voted alone against this bill?  One clue, he’s done it before.  Yup, that’s right.  Ron Paul. One other person felt so unmoved by the plight of those poor souls [...]

Congress condemns the UN Human Rights Council

Posted by Moonage on 26 Sep 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, International Issues, International Politics, Polls

In the form of a resolution, Congress took a hard slap at the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Basically, it goes like this.  The United Nations formed a council to look into human rights violations and do what it can to assure human rights are respected all over the globe.  With the continuing genocide in Africa, [...]

Ahmadinejad goes to New York

Posted by Moonage on 24 Sep 2007 | Tagged as: International Issues, International Politics, Political Correctness

Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is disappointed the US is not allowing him to roam free in the US speaking.  His logic for allowing to do so is something like this:

Ahmadinejad said the American people have been denied “correct information,” and his visit will give them a chance to hear a different voice, the official IRNA news [...]

Washington Post can’t get it right either

Posted by Moonage on 10 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: The Media

Five years ago, President Bush warned us that there were some bad guys out there. He’s been pretty much dead on target with his warning. Iran, Iraq, and North Korea have all been issues that have caused problems within the US, and given the United Nations major headaches. North Korea has gotten [...]

A reminder: Don’t masturbate during Ramadan

Posted by Moonage on 06 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: International Issues

I am hosting these comments for Stormwarning, who can’t seem to get it past the censors at The Motley Fool. His comments on wanking keep getting him yanked. Without further ado:
Khameini: Don’t masturbate during Ramadan

Iran attacks Iraq, CNN could care less

Posted by Moonage on 17 Jan 2006 | Tagged as: International Issues, Iran, The Media

Well, I saw a blurb about a navy conflict between Iran and Iraq.  I was going to make some leaps of faith about it possibly giving the UN impetus to deal with Iran.  However, the story seems to pretty much have vanished without any media thought.  Maybe this is why:
CNN was allowed to "resume its [...]
