Avoid Arabia

A BRITISH couple who had sex on the beach in Dubai will stand trial next month,
it emerged last night.
Publishing executive Michelle Palmer, 36, and IT firm
boss Vince Acors, 34, were arrested during a romp on a sun lounger.
Authorities in the Muslim state said the pair will go on trial on August 21
for having sex in public and outside marriage and drunkenness.
Acors, of
Bromley, Kent and Palmer, of Oakham, Rutland, could be punished by up to six
years in jail.
The lovers – who met hours earlier – claimed they were too
drunk to recall their actions on Jumeirah Beach.But a legal source in the United
Arab Emirates said:
“DNA tests proved they had sex that day and now they
must face the consequences.
“There is every chance they will be made an
example of.”

Dubai wants tourists.
Dubai counts on tourism.
They are staking their future on it.
Don't go to Dubai as a tourist.
Don't invest in a country that despises G-d and non-hypocritical religion.
If this woman goes to prison she will be forced to practice the Islamic cult, with its misogynist trappings, and will probably be raped repeatedly by "holy" Arab jailers.
The Muslims persecute women daily.
In the hottest part of the year they make females dress like walking tents, they teach young girls to hate themselves, they practice female "circumcision", and in most Arab countries they deprive women of any rights whatsoever, condemning them as worse than property.
The fact is that Muslims are not capable of running their countries in a civilized way.
Michelle Palmer is known by associates to be kind and charitable, a friend said ,"She is the kindest person I know."
One hopes that the British Government intervenes and extricates these two hapless individuals who are guilty of nothing more than poor judgement.

Responsibilty, Honesty

Will the American electorate hold the Republican Party responsible for lying?
McBush has put out an add saying that Obama is responsible for high gas prices.
Their surrogates say, "Obama is for an immediate unconditional pullout from Iraq. "
He has stated that he would pull the troops out as soon as conditions allow it, based on conditions in Iraq.
We support keeping troops in Iraq, our presence is a moderating influence on the region, and it is beneficial for the average Arab and others to see that we are a civilized, decent people.
Our presence may be needed militarily if the Iranian Government decides to practice extermination on the Jewish People, as their President has promised to do.
But make no mistake, the American people are being lied to.
President Bush lied about why we went into Iraq in the first place..or perhaps he was bamboozled by Cheney.
But we were lied to.
5000 Americans have died, poor Americans, Americans who joined the service because it offered a career opportunity.
We respect the courage of the troops, their is no questioning that.Young Americans have shown amazing courage and decency.
But the Bush administration screwed up horribly by disbanding the Iraqi military.We are only now beginning to recover from this disaster.
This mistake cost lives.
It is time for a change,part of the appeal of Obama seems to be that he speaks eloquently and fluently, and the reason he does so, and this is worth noting, is that he believes what he says.
The Republicans keep trying to hustle the electorate by scaring them, they say that Obama is a radical leftist.
He is a moderate, a liberal.
There is no question in my mind that this country does need change.
The Obama candidacy has exposed a side of America that I hadn't expected to see, a resurgence, in whispers, of racism.
Someone actually said to me, "America does not want a nigger for president."
I hadn't heard that word for some time except from black people, I was somewhat shocked, and yet, I have had the same reaction from others, without the use of the word "nigger", including a former Judge, a self proclaimed liberal.
The Klan used to say that if one had a drop of African blood, he was a "nigger".
It is frightening and even disgusting to see otherwise decent people seeming to embrace this racist ideology.
I have very little respect for McCain since his campaign is based on willful distortion of Obama's positions.
We do not need another liar as president.
What we need is frankness and honesty, and education.
We do not need more divisiveness.America is changing into some type of distortion of itself, where compassion is called leftism and outright lying passes for political discourse.
Obama's passion is for people, all people, not black, not white, people.We desperately need morality back in the white house, and the candidate picked by the Republicans has not shown any of this quality.
We need change.

Will Obama Pull a McBush?

McBush:
Verb: To commit a faux pas or fault or silly error
Noun: A stupid incompetent fool, A person who amuses other by ridiculous behavior; a goofball

The world watches as Senator Obama conducts his fact finding mission in Iraq. Although he's known as an intelligent and knowledgeable Senator, mistakes and misstatements can happen.

Observers wonder if he could, for example, get into a discussion about a country that hasn't even existed for almost twenty years, or confuse the Sunni and Shiite brands of Islam, or believe that Al Qada is being trained in Iran, or one of his advisers might believe the American recession is in the minds of the American people, or that the Americans are a bunch of Whiners.

In short, will he pull a McBush?

Stay tuned...

You're Beautiful........

Listening to the tune by James Blunt, rather an emotional tune, isn't it?
Anyone have an idea about its meaning?
I'm thinking from the video that when he says "I've got to face the truth, I will never be with you...", and jumps off of the cliff, he's committing suicide.

I've become convinced that although I believe Iraq was the wrong war at the wrong time, as long as we are there, and it's so close to Israel, we probably should remain.
The Arabs and the Iranians are making noises like they want to attack Israel, so we can either dissuade them in advance or head them off and defeat them if they are stupid enough to try.

A shout out to an incredible woman, she is helping to raise my babies, Maryanne Blackburn, thank you.
She has also helped me in lots of other ways, but that's a story for another post.
