Culture Watch, Vol. 2

Last week saw significant advances by the left. Mostly in the area of marriage and
family. So many advances, that I wrote a separate article on the subject entitled
All Sex, All The Time.
Also making headway in the culture wars is the stealth acceptance of Sharia Law
(law based on the Koran). In England, just one week after the Archbishop of Canterbury
caused a furor by suggesting Islamic Sharia law was 'unavoidable' in Great Britain,
the
government announced it would be issuing special 'Islamic Bonds', essentially
raising money from the Middle-East in order to pay for PM Brown's public spending
programs. Bureaucrats in Britain should take note of a new report warning that inbreeding
among immigrants is causing a surge in birth defects.
In Canada, Islamists have started using
'dial-a-marriage' (Islamic law allows telephone
nuptials) which enables Muslims in Canada to sponsor loved ones entry into Canada.
Would that Muslims were as adept at assimilating as they are at working the angles.
Meet my wife, uhhh, what's your name again?
Not everyone, however, is kowtowing to Islamists. Denmark's leading newspapers stepped
up to the plate and
reprinted cartoons that depict Mohammad wearing a bomb-shaped
turban. This, of course, generated the usual angst among sensitive Muslims, resulting
in minor riots that are continuing as you read this. If Obama wins, I might consider
moving to Denmark.
Also standing up to Muslim bullying was left-leaning Wikipedia. They have refused
180,000 requests to
remove pictures of Mohammad from their site, stating a common
sense solution not heard in a while: "If they object, they don't have to log in".
Apropos of nothing, did you know there is no Islamist word for 'humor?'
In the US, Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) is asking Georgetown University about its use
of a $20M donation
by a Saudi Prince. They're wondering if maybe, just maybe, academic
standards may have been influenced by money. You think?
Speaking of Sharia creep, Obama got caught last week
displaying a communist flag with a picture of mass-murderer Che Geuvara in his Houston
campaign office. Granted, it was put there by a zealous campaign worker, several
of whom Newsmax later pictured wearing Che chic as they scurried about doing Obama's
business.
Government Schools:
More good news as the President of William and Mary College was forced to
resign
in disgrace. Remember him? He's guy who decided to hide the chapel cross in order
to make it less 'faith specific'. I guess the final straw was when he allowed
William and Mary to sponsor a traveling 'sex workers' show. Just desserts.
Over at Harvard, science undergraduates are
fleeing the discipline in large numbers,
opting instead for concentrations in social sciences and humanities. Meanwhile,
in California, a
bill has been introduced that will require 'climate-change' to
be part of the science curriculum. Maybe students will now get academic credit for
using one-square of toilet paper and condemning SUVs.
Also in California, a local task force has
advised Jewish students not to enroll
at the UC Irvine campus "until tangible changes are made" to combat growing anti-Semitism.
Seems liberal tolerance goes only so far. Oh, and let's not forget John Corcoran.
He graduated from college and taught high school for 17 years, no one ever discovering
that he was
completely illiterate. Guess you don't need to know how to read and
write in order to teach 'feelings' and 'empowerment.'
Our Government At Work:
A DOD analyst has been
charged with spying for selling military secrets to the Chinese
Government. He probably thought since Bill Clinton got away with it, it was OK.
Government benefit costs now
top $27,000 per senior citizen. This is up a whopping
24%. This coming tsunami continues to be overlooked by all presidential candidates.
Meanwhile, the nation's first baby-boomer
just received her first social security
check.
Bureaucrats in Boulder decided to
draft and vote on a resolution calling for the
impeachment of Bush and Cheney. It didn't pass.
The CDC has urged Katrina victims to move out of their
government-issued trailers
as quickly as possible. Seems said trailers have toxic levels of formaldehyde.
Unlimited food and Starbucks frappuccinos have
replaced waterboarding and sleep
deprivation in an attempt to build a case against the alleged mastermind of the
9-11 attacks. Think it will work?
Essential Trivia:
A Korean firm has become
the first to offer to clone dead pets. Surely Fido is worth
$50K.
Researchers are developing
electricity-generating clothing. Pretty soon your shirt
will be able to
power your IPod.
Whites will be the new minority
by 2050 if current
immigration levels continue. When I posted this tidbit on
RightBias.com, I received an unusually high number of e-mails, calling me
racist for daring to point out the obvious. I must be doing something right:)
The world's
fattest man, lost 507 pounds in less time than doctors predicted. Whoa.
Talk about change! Meanwhile, the Swiss have
invented a car that lets you drive
underwater.
Smile:
All in all, the good guys held their own last week. That's cause for a smile. So's
this:
As Hong Kong shivered through its second longest cold spell since 1885, scientists
tripped over themselves to
blame it on, you guessed it, global warming. I'm not
making this stuff up.
I conclude with a video clip.
For some reason this newscaster bloop made me laugh.
Till next week,
Nancy M
