Obamaism is still alive and dong well.  He will be office until 2012 and has changed America profoundly during his short time as President. 

The Chicago Way

A third and final ingredient to Obamism is the Chicago way. Here we see an interesting updated version of the old big-city, Daley thuggery. Rahm Emanuel threatens recalcitrant congressmen with reminders of the long Obama memory. The Axelrod/Jarrett clique ensures that the government channels stimuli to blue-states, that key Congress people are bought off with tens of millions of government largess, that every campaign promise . . .

According to the Times  On Line, the perpetrator was on a terrorist watch list, but not the no-fly list.  Somehow he was able to carry a two part explosive device aboard Northwest 253 and set it off  on the  aircraft neared Detroit.  After the shoe bomber incident eight years ago and the recent incident  in Saudi Arabia, when a Muslim detonated a bomb he had swallowed,  somebody should have wised up.  While there are Muslims on this planet, there will be no security.  Allowing them to access their favorite  bombing venues is suicidal insanity.  

    There is only one way to prevent those  attacks:  clip their wings; prevent Muslims from entering this country by air.  After they switch to blowing up cruise liners, perhaps  our government will wise up enough to bar their entry completely.  This is common sense, not rocket science.

The following petition is long overdue.

To:  U.S. Congress

Whereas a Muslim attempted to destroy a commercial flight from Nigeria to Detroit as it made its landing approach on December 25, 2009,

and whereas the bombing, if successful, would have killed many people on the ground and done great property damage,

and whereas it is the intention and desire of Islam to do maximal damage and injury to "...raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy... "[Noble Qur'an, Hilali & Khan, At-Taubah 9:120]

and whereas it is impossible to effectively and reliably prevent them from boarding with explosives and other dangerous materials

the undersigned petitioners demand the enactment & enforcement of legislation prohibiting any and all Muslims from boarding any and all commercial flights destined to land on or fly over the territory of the United States of America.

Sincerely,

    If you favor national security and flight safety, sign the petition linked above and urge everyone you can influence to sign it. If you  perceive the petition to be bigoted, racist or hateful, you are too stupid and ignorant to be a participant in modern society. In that case, it would be better if you'd remove yourself from the voter  registration rolls and the gene pool. 

    Recognizing the identity & character of our sworn enemy is not bigotry, neither is it racism; it is common sense.  Islam declared perpetual war against Jews & Christians in 623.  Islamic law requires a minimum of one attack against us in every year, failing only when Islam is too weak to mount a successful attack.  Doubters and dissenters should read Surah at-Taubah and Sahih Bukhari 52.  You can find crucial quotes with links to source in Jihad.chm.  

    Now is the time to drop the blindfold of political correctness & hoodwink of multiculturalism.  Open your eyes and examine objective factual reality. 278 people had a close call with death  because our government is too cowardly to name and shame the enemy.  The bombing of Pan Am 103 should have been a sufficient lesson. Richard Reid's failed mission should have been a sufficient lesson. Will you ever learn?

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

Is, as I feared, little more than a 2 hour Channel commercial (no channel product placement - just the style of one looooooong channel commercial). All the good parts? Already shown in the commercials (yes, they're that brief).

I spent the whole time thinking that it looked like it was filmed with the intention of immediately being redone as a play. Turns out that's because it's based on a play, which I didn't know.

I did know, however, that it's also loosely based on the Fellini film 8½. That helps a lot. Well, it helped me stay in my seat and not walk out.

I read that Fergie's performance was "a revelation". Really? It wasn't long enough to be much of anything to me.

Nicole Kidman's costumes, with boobs clearly much larger than her own/real ones, was distracting.

I liked Penelope Cruz' character (little slut!).

Kate Hudson reminds me more and more of her mother every time I see her. Doing 60s dances just added to the effect.

The dancing & burlesque are good. "Moulin Rouge" and/or "Chicago" it ain't. Mostly boring, it is.

But it got me out of the house (and my pajamas) for 3 hours. Now I'm safe & warm, back in both of them.

Examine the word “feckless”. It means:

1. Lacking purpose or vitality; feeble or ineffective.

2. Careless and irresponsible.

The new terrorist tactic is anal explosives.

The man told investigators that he wanted to set off a bomb over the United States and claimed to be tied to al-Qaida, is on Terrorist Watchlist.

Nigerian man tries to light powdery substance on Detroit flight, officials say

A 23-year-old Nigerian man tried to light a powdery substance aboard a Northwest Airlines flight before landing in Detroit on Friday, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official told NBC News.

Two people noticed the attempt and a third person jumped on the man and subdued him, an airline official told NBC News.

The man is being treated at the burn unit of the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor, officials said.

The man told investigators that he wanted to set off a bomb over the United States and claimed to be tied to al-Qaida, counterterrorism officials said.

The man was subdued by the crew of Flight 253 from Amsterdam, one counterterrorism official said. The official said the man left Lagos, Nigeria, on Thursday, then boarded the Northwest flight in Amsterdam on Friday.

Flight 253 was an Airbus 330 carrying 278 passengers. The Transportation Security Administration reported that the plane was taken to a remote area of Detroit Metropolitan Airport and all passengers deplaned and were rescreened along with all the luggage on the flight. In addition, all passengers were interviewed, a TSA statement said.

President Barack Obama, who is vacationing in Hawaii, was informed of the incident Friday morning by his National Security Council staff, White House spokesman Bill Burton said.

U.S. counterterrorism officials are treating this as a possible terrorist attack and are taking it “very seriously,” counterterrorism officials said. An interagency meeting of senior intelligence, law enforcement and security was convened out of Washington to discuss the incident and possible measures to ensure there no similar attacks, Burton said.

U.S. counterterrorism officials are particularly concerned in light of the 2006 London airline plot, in which British and Pakistani nationals conspired to carry out multiple suicide bombings on board trans-Atlantic flights.

On Dec. 22, 2001, passengers and crew aboard an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami subdued a man who was attempting to detonate explosives in his sneakers. Richard Reid pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in 2003 and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his cousin, Ramzi Yousef, were accused of plotting in 1995 to take down multiple airliners over the Pacific Ocean using explosive devices hidden in airliner lavatories. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34592031
