Melding Sharia Law and British Society

The "On Faith" series in The Washington Post often has interesting commentary (Christopher Hitchens' half-drunken harangues notwithstanding).

There was a particularly interesting commentary by Feisal Abdul Rauf on how integrating aspects of Sharia Law would benefit British society.

I'd suggest you don't read the comments unless you want your brain to implode.

Don't Vote For HITLERy lolol !

I'd vote for Obama, but I am an unaffiliated voter, and in Maryland you have to be either a Democrat or a Republican to vote in the primaries.

It's 1964 All Over Again

The news of an "altercation" between Iranian and US Naval forces reminded me of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident.

It's funny/sad that I don't believe anything my own government says.

Despair, anyone?

The funniest video to come out of Iraq

LOL Iraqis...

This is why I love my wife. . .

She is honorable and decent, and will jump at the chance of righting wrongs. She despises injustice and will fly in the face of it.

The Frame
Originally uploaded by grace*c*

As some of you know, I make picture frames. Well, they're not so much "frames" as they are little works of art enveloping a photograph. I use discarded, antique, and otherwise forgotten media. The one above was commissioned by Cory, and it's an old Erector set, circa 1929.

If you're interested, let me know and we'll talk business (and art).

OMFG KILLER MINNIE!

Ethnic Cleansing, American-Style

Prince William County, a Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C., is making it impossible for illegal immigrants to live there. Crackas and wanna-be crackas believe that Hispanics (they claim illegal ones, but the new rules are so vague it's impossible for a county cop to distinguish between a legal resident, an illegal, and a U.S. citizen except for the Hispanic-sounding surname) are leading to social ills in their precious, manicured county.

If this isn't "ethnic cleansing" a la Américain, then I don't know what is.

Just in case you're keeping score...

Childbirth: Position of Woman’s Body Could Ease Delivery
By ERIC NAGOURNEY
Published: October 16, 2007
"Women who go onto their hands and knees while in labor may be able to reduce the pain of childbirth, researchers say."



NEWSFLASH:
The Inuit and other native peoples had been doing it this way for thousands of years before "modern" medicine told them not to because it is "savage" and "inhuman."
