NFL Replacements Refs Are Lingerie League Rejects

It is being reported that at least one of the replacement refs hired by the NFL is one who has been fired for incompetence by the  Lingerie League. Give that man a pair of pink shoes.

Is The Old Media Now Muslim?

Ben Stein makes a fascinating observation in The American Spectator about how the dinosaur media has adopted the fashion of referring to Mohammad as “The Prophet Mohammad”. 

When did they get religion?
Mohammad is not my prophet and most of us here don’t think he’s any kind of prophet. In fact, most of here think the worldview he articulates is not even a very good one. The values he demands actually fly in the face of everything the militant secularists that run the dinosaurs claim to be are good.
So what’s with the religion?
One grants that one should not be gratuitously offensive to Muslims but one can certainly do so without conceding to any claims they make to authority or otherwise. Actually, it seems the job of those whose alleged reason for existence is to “afflict the comfortable” ought to go out of their way to challenge Islamic claims to authority. It’s not the guy who is walking his dog that is the one being the bully.
And it should be noted that the dinosaurs seem to go out of their way to be gratuitously offensive to Christians and Jews. The odious “Piss Christ”, the original display of which was partially funded with tax dollars, is now going back on display in New York. 
The old media thinks this is just peachy.
If the Muslims protest, as they very well might as unlike the secularists they believe Jesus should be honored, whatever will the Village Voice and the New York Times and President Obama do?

Off The Internet: Pin Drop

Once upon a time when our politicians tend to apologize for our country’s prior actions, here’s a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our country.
These are good
JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60’s when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.
Rusk responded, “Does that include those who are buried here?”
DeGaulle did not respond. 
You could have heard a pin drop.
When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of ’empire building’ by George Bush.
He answered by saying, “Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.” You could have heard a pin drop. 
 There was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. During a break, one of the French engineers came back into the room saying, “Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?”
A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: “Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?” You could have heard a pin drop.
 A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, “Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?”
Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied, “Maybe it’s because the Brit’s, Canadians, Aussie’s and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German.”

Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
 “You have been to France before, monsieur?” the customs officer asked sarcastically.
 Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously.
 “Then you should know enough to have your passport ready.”
 The American said, “The last time I was here, I didn’t have to show it.”
 “Impossible.. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France !”
 The American senior gave the Frenchman a long hard look. Then he quietly explained, ”Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn’t find a single Frenchmen to show a passport to.”
You could have heard a pin drop.
