Obama’s 1st Formal TV Interview with Al-Arabiya?

Yeah, I mean, it is kind of hard to believe and you know the “Obama the Muslim” crew is going to have a field day with this. What I can’t believe is how incredibly naïve this President is, possibly the most naïve ever. Okay, Carter takes the cake for Naïveté unless you think he’s just plain evil (which looks more and more likely (see ‘Carter: Hamas can be trusted‘).

So, we’re under a week into his Presidency and he’s:

  • Ordered Guantanamo Bay closed.
  • Plans to have the terrorists there tried in civilians courts.
  • Won’t allow forceful interrogation of terrorists.
  • Supported his Treasury Secretary nominee even after revelations of Geithner’s “honest mistake” of not paying $30,000+ in taxes over several years.
  • Opted for a George Mitchell Middle-East redux after he did such a great job in 2001 when he held Israeli’s and Palestinians equally responsible for the lack of progress and called on “both Israel and the Palestinian Authority to halt the violence, protect human rights, condemn and discourage incitement, show restraint and to protect holy places.”
  • Has now chosen Al-Arabiya of Dubai & Saudi Arabia as his first TV interview as President. I guess he feels it’s more important to speak to their audience than the people who elected him and, more importantly, those who voted against him.

Let’s take a look at a couple of other recent guests of Al-Arabiya (thanks to MEMRI):

  • Egyptian Men’s Rights Activist Tareq Imam. The subject? Women Today Have Become Rebellious and Conceited. Here’s a translated quote “They never talk about the violence of women toward men and the reasons why women are subjected to violence.”
  • Egyptian Lawyer Nagla Al-Imam, suggesting that Arab men sexually harass Israeli women and declaring: Leave the Land So We Won’t Rape You

Well Mr. President, you’ve definitely got the change part down.

Catalonia, Spain Cancels Holocaust Memorial Ceremony

Clearly trying to remind the world of Spain’s facist history and abundant ties to Nazi Germany, Barcelona, the capital of Spain’s autonomous region of Catalonia, decided to cancel their lone event recognizing Holocaust Remembrance day. A local official announced:

    ‘Marking the Jewish Holocaust while a Palestinian Holocaust is taking place is not right,’

This should come as no surprise to anyone who has been following the news from Spain and the insane rallies that took place there during Israel’s recent war against the HAMAS terrorists. Insane due to the rhetoric used by the protestors and their constant comparisons of Israel to Nazi Germany

Of course, we shouldn’t forget the Spanish Inquisition officially lasted from 1478 to 1834 and that the country has contributed pretty much nothing to the world over the past several centuries (though I am a fan of the works of Gaudi and Picasso).

Oh yeah, I do also recall the exceptionally weak people of Spain caving to Al Qaeda in elections just a few days after the terrorist attacks of 2004.

I guess these morons forget that Islamists have their eyes set on recapturing Spain as they have made clear time and again (though they’ll probably be able to do it in the Polls if they wait long enough).

Time to Boycott Norway

I know, I know, what is there to boycott anyway? None the less, take a look at this article from jPost. Here’s a summary:

    A Norwegian diplomat based in Saudi Arabia has sent out e-mails from her Foreign Ministry e-mail account equating Israel’s offensive against Hamas in Gaza with the systematic mass murder of six million Jews by the Nazis.

    The e-mail states “The grandchildren of Holocaust survivors from World War II are doing to the Palestinians exactly what was done to them by Nazi Germany.”

I’m not sure what is more surprising, that a diplomat could be so ignorant of history or that she can be so freaking stupid as to send such an email from her official email address.

MLB Parity vs. NBA & NFL

I just saw a really great article and had to break down some of these numbers on MLB parity vs. NBA and NFL (two salary cap sports):

World Series this Decade:

Phillies over Rays
Boston over Colorado
St. Louis over Detroit
White Sox over Houston
Boston over St. Louis
Florida over Yankees
Anaheim over San Fran
Arizona over Yankees
Yankees over Mets

8 different winners in 9 years with 1 team appearing 3 times, 2 twice and 14 (almost half the league) making an appearance.

In the same period, we have the following in the NBA:

Boston over LA
San Antonio over Cleveland
Miami over Dallas
San Antonio over Detroit
Detroit over LA
San Antonio over New Jersey
LA over New Jersey
LA over Philadelphia
LA over Indiana

5 different winners in 9 years with 1 appearing 5 times, one 3 times, 2 twice and a total of 10 making an appearance.

Now, moving onto the NFL, we have close to the same parity as MLB, though this may be due to them only playing 16 games and injuries arguably being far more important.

Giants over Patriots
Colts over Bears
Steelers over Seahawks
Patriots over Eagles
Patriots over Panthers
Buccaneers over Raiders
Patriots over Rams
Ravens over Giants
Rams over Titans

7 different winners in 9 years with 1 appearing 4 times, 2 twice and a total of 13 making an appearance.

And some crazy stats from the article I saw: Over the past 30 years, while 20 MLB teams have won it all, only nine have prevailed in the NBA. Another interesting stat: In 62 years of NBA championships, only 28 coaches have won.

Finally, let’s not forget that in baseball only 8 teams make the playoffs while in football 12 teams and in basketball 16 (half the league).

IDF Finds Weapons Horde in Gazan Mosque

Check out this video taken by IDF forces in the Gaza Strip, revealing how Hamas terrorists were using a mosque as a weapons depot and an area of operation.

I don’t think there is a person on this planet that is surprised by this; however, it is absolutely amazing that people continue to refer to Islam as ‘The Religion of Peace’.

Hamas Booby Trapped School and Zoo

Here’s a video taken by IDF forces documenting how Hamas had booby trapped a school and a zoo with explosives.

Where is the condemnation from PETA? Naturally, I’ve given up all hope of the UN, Amnesty etc condemning the school booby trapping, but come on, think of the Animals, oh the poor poor animals.

Protester Calls for Jews to ‘Go Back to the Oven’

Here’s an unbeleivable FoxNews article and video about an Anti-Israel demonstration that took place in Florida.

The irony, of course, is that these morons are supporting one of the largest groups of Holocaust deniers (Palestinians) in the world.
