12 arrests in the name of terrorism... out of 814,073

Less Than 0.01% Of Homeland Security Cases Are Terrorism Related

Records obtained from the immigration courts under the Freedom of Information Act show that only 0.0015 percent of the total number of cases filed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security were terrorism related, despite the fact that the Bush administration has repeatedly asserted that it is the primary focus of the DHS.

A report issued Sunday by independent research group The Transactional Records Action Clearinghouse (TRAC) found that in the last three years there have only been 12 charges of terrorism out of 814,073 cases.

We all knew, the passing the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act was nothing but a smokescreen to curtail civil and human rights. Even I, in my scepticism, realised that on occasion, these acts, and other like it, would be used to further the agenda of the Bush Administration. However, as it turns out, I was completely wrong. These acts are not being used on occasion to foster the government's ulterior motives, but instead, they are only, on occasion being used for their intended purpose.

I can't even begin to describe the sadness I feel.

Using such an extreme form of the laws to incarcerate over 800,000 people, the size of a small city, amounts to the action of a totalitarian regime. What is worse, within the eyes of the law this is all acceptable; this is, essentially, legislated dictatorship.

When the numbers are this telling, how can any branch of the government allow this injustice to continue, even in the name of security and freedom?

The "terrorists" who "hated America for their freedoms" must hate them a lot less now.

My New Favourite Film

I have a new favourite film. It's not the best film in the world, it's not a good film, heck some might even argue that's it's not even a mediocre film, but for now it's my new favourite film. Why? I was just at IMDb and today's trivia question was:

"This was the movie that dethroned Titanic from 15 weeks atop the U.S. box office. (answer)"

The answer is, if you haven't guessed by the image over yonder, is Lost in Space.

Yes, that's right, Lost in Space, even if the film has no cinematic credentials whatsoever, that fact that it knocked Titanic of the top of the box office charts carries a lot of water with me. I loathed Titanic. It was a waste of great special effects.

Also, you may have notice that I am trying to refrain from using "movie". As it turns out, "movie" is a N. American colloquialism and not an actual word in the British English dictionary; and me being the snobbish elitist that I am, will now try to amend my erroneous ways.

A long time coming

Blogger has finally incorporated a way to put an image in to the title, and even in place of it. Granted the change from my old look to the new one isn't very drastic at all, but truth be told, I really wanted a logo and hated that I had to put it in the top left above the Cost of War widget. It just seem so out of place. This I think is better.

Bill's Bumper Stickers for "Dubya"

These are Bill Maher's George W's Bumper stickers inspired by John Edwards' quote from the post below.

This is one of my favourites

Another Favourite

Quoting... John Edwards

"The War on Terror is a bumper sticker, not a plan"
- John Edwards

Got this last night's edition of "Real Time with Bill Maher" on HBO, after which Bill made a few of his own.

Live audiences are as annoying as laugh tracks.

I watch a lot of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report and Real Time with Maher which are all filmed in front of a live studio audience, except Real Time which I believe is broadcast live.

Although I enjoy watching all the above, lately, I've really been put off by the live audiences. It's almost as though these talk shows have their own talking points. When certain phrases or even when certain names are dropped they inevitably illicit applause and/or cheering. It's getting so bad that I find it detracting from my enjoyment of the show.

The audiences are coming off as nothing more than trained monkeys with Pavlovian responses. To paraphrase Bill Maher, say the phrase that makes the hamster hit the pedal - which is ironic since Real Time is the most guilty of this.

The reason I draw issue with this trend is that when there are interviewees with something to say, they resort to political speech type sound bites merely to gain favour with the audiences instead of saying something substantive and concrete. It dilutes what would otherwise be a good interview.

I'm going to miss Studio 60 - Spoiler Alert... Kinda

Spoilers are only in the first paragraph and are not related to the plot, but the cast.

I just finished watching the latest episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and from beginning to end I either had a smile on my face or I was laughing my ass off. I was so engrossed in one of my favourite shows, which after a long long long hiatus finally aired a new show last night, that I didn't even notice that two of the principle actors (Matthew Perry & Bradley Whitford) weren't even in the show until halfway through, and that another principle actor (Amanda Peet) wasn't in the show (how do I not notice the absence of the sexy Amanda Peet?) till I started typing this.

NBC cancelled the show in it's freshman season citing less than spectacular ratings and a high cost per episode. That coupled with 30 Rock (a show I also enjoy, but pales in comparison to Studio 60) with a very similar premise; one cheaper to produce as well, made axing Studio 60 an easy choice with the execs.

I realise that TV is a business, and the bottom line is paramount, but I think NBC is making a mistake stripping Studio 60 from their 2007 Fall line-up. This show is way ahead of it's time, and never have I ever seen such chemistry between a ensemble cast. While funny as well as dramatic it dared to challenge the status quo engaging in interesting social and political commentary. I believe, if and when this show is released on DVD, the sales will be a true measure and testament of the show's quality, at which point I hope The National Broadcasting Corporation has a good surgeon standing by to remove the bullet from their collective foot.

Dashed hopes by the Dems.

I don't usually say anything when I'm posting a Keith Olbermann "Special Comment", but... after the November 2006 mid-terms elections in the US, I had high hopes for the Democratic controlled Senate and Congress. But now, six months later and five months after they took power all the hopes I had of them neutralising the ego-maniacal "leader of the free world" were quashed by their limp-dicked handling of the directive, to get the hell out of Iraq, the voters had entrusted in them. Olbermann, as always, is very succint on the subject.

Boston Legal Opening Credits

Probably one of the most fun opening credits I've seen.

Something I felt the world ought to read.

The words below written by Alana S. They are something that really struck a chord. I just wanted to share them. I feel privileged to be the first to publish this.

Between the Falls

Smash your head against the wall
They don’t get you, they never do
It’s teenage angst but you’re ten and
these thoughts should not be in your head so you
try to beat them out but they stick and
the world ain’t the pretty place it should
be so you run and hide but they’re always a
few steps ahead, waiting for you in
the alleys, the hallways, the classroom
and there’s the writing on the walls
and there’s noise in your head and it won’t
stop.

There ain’t much to look back on when
you’re so young
not much to learn from
too much to ever know
so all you can do is
keep on growing and
now you’re sixteen
and nothing’s the way you
would have thought it could be
if you hadn’t learned that you can’t
be naïve
the dead ends are all around you
so you’re going in circles
sure they can kill their days but you
gonna revive ‘em the best you can and

I’ll tell you one thing kid this life
is a labyrinth of redemptions and small
victories between the falls
and you don’t get why you got to
stumble all the way up the mountain or
why there ain’t nothing at the top
or why you’re doin this at all, me
I still question it but
I don’t want out.



You stand on the edge like you’re
scared of being in the heart and
you already know that’s the only way to live so what
more can they teach you from here on in you
knew it all when you were born it just got skin along the
way thick layers of grit and mud you still tryin to scrape off
but you’ll never be clean and this
skin feels thick but underneath you
know you’re just as tender as
the kid they never let you be
so you
wear the stains like medallions and
maybe they’ll laugh in your face but you got
the spirit they envied all along you
were born with the fire they could never
ignite so you stand proud kid don’t
ever let them
break
you
down.

Do I HAVE to mourn?

When I first heard about Jerry Falwell's death, my instinctive reaction was to smile. My next reaction was one of guilt. I was raised to respect the dead and be solemn in the time of death.. These two reactions led me to question the way I reacted. Do you have to be austere and respectful to someone you don't respect and dislike?

The reason I ask is because I have gone through these series of responses twice before. First, when my high school bully died a couple of years ago (yeah, I know, I can hold a grudge). For a couple of years I found myself constantly looking over my shoulder and just the sound of his voice would make my heart jump in to my throat. Second, when a guy who was sleeping with my girlfriend when I was with her got shot in the head (let that be a lesson to all of you out there). In both cases I was initially elated followed by pangs of guilt.

While I understand the reason for sombreness, why does it have to be imposed on someone. If one is not sincere in their mourning, doesn't it become meaningless?

So when someone say things like this, it's a tad difficult for me to mourn their passing. While I do feel for those close to him, and wish them all the strength they need to get through this terrible time in their lives, I can't help but want to jump and punch the air with my fist in celebration.

Some of what Jerry Falwell has said:

The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country.
Sermon (4 July 1976)

I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!
America Can Be Saved! (1979) Sword of the Lord Publishers, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, p. 52-53, quoted at "The Rise of the Religious Right in the Republican Party"

I do question the sincerity and non-violent intentions of some civil rights leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mr. James Farmer, and others, who are known to have left wing associations.

On responses to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, as quoted in AANEWS #958 (14 September 2001) and at Positive Atheism

His message of peace and reconciliation under almost all circumstances is simply incompatible with Christian teachings as I interpret them. This 'turn the other cheek' business is all well and good but it's not what Jesus fought and died for. What we need to do is take the battle to the Muslim heathens and do unto them before they do unto us.
On Jimmy Carter in a radio interview on (4 March 2002).

I think Muhammad was a terrorist. I read enough by both Muslims and non-Muslims, [to decide] that he was a violent man, a man of war.
An interview given on 30 September 2002, for 60 Minutes (6 October 2002). The following Friday, Mohsen Mojtahed Shabestari, the spokesman of Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a fatwa for Falwell's death, saying that Falwell was a "mercenary and must be killed," and, "The death of that man is a religious duty, but his case should not be tied to the Christian community."

You've got to kill the terrorists before the killing stops and I am for the President — chase them all over the world, if it takes ten years, blow them all away in the name of the Lord.
CNN Debate with Jesse Jackson (24 October 2004)

And the fact that John Kerry would not support a federal marriage amendment [prohibiting gay marriage], it equates in our minds as someone 150 years ago saying I'm personally opposed to slavery, but if my neighbor wants to own one or two that's OK. We don't buy that.
CNN : Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees (3 November 2004)

Civil rights for all Americans, black, white, red, yellow, the rich, poor, young, old, gay, straight, et cetera, is not a liberal or a conservative value. It’s an American value that I would think that we pretty much all agree on.
"The Situation with Tucker Carlson" on MSNBC (5 August 2005)

Thank God for these gay demonstrators. If I didn't have them, I'd have to invent them. They give me all the publicity I need.
As quoted by Falwell's ghostwriter Mel White in "Religion, Politics a Potent Mix for Jerry Falwell" by Steve Inskeep in Morning Edition on NPR (30 June 2006)

Since Jesus came to the earth the first time 2,000 years ago as a Jewish male, many evangelicals believe the Antichrist will, by necessity, be a Jewish male. This belief is 2,000 years old and has no anti-Semitic roots. This is simply historic and prophetic orthodox Christian doctrine that many theologians, Christian and non-Christian, have understood for two millennia.

I mean he's obviously an brutal misogynistic homophobic anti-semite. Of course, he's well within his right to say all of these things, but in doing so, he should expect some of the reactions he has received, and in this case, my heart finds it difficult to go out to him.

Now, I'm not saying throw a party in honour of his death, I do realise that celebrating someone's death is inappropriate, but don't make me mourn it either.

Synonyms mean the same thing!

Lately, I have begun to notice a distressing trend in the use of synonyms in circumventing basic human rights in The United States. One really sticks in my head and it comes from the Military Commissions Act signed into law late last year. The phrase is "enemy combatant".

Before I go on, this is the definition of synonym according to the Freesearch British English Dictionary.

a word or phrase which has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word or phrase in the same language

The basic gist is that anyone deemed to be an enemy combatant can be incarcerated indefinitely, without trial, without legal representation, without the opportunity to face their accuser and on here say alone! And let's not forget torture... I mean discomfiture tactics.

By exchanging prisoner with enemy combatant, the US is able to bypass both their own constitution as well as The Geneva Convention. Nobody, it seems, has called the current administration on what seems to be an obvious point.

Another case in point, earlier this year when Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice was being grilled on the possible surge of troops in Iraq, she refused to call it a "troop surge" but instead, insisted on calling it a "troop augmentation"

Are elected officials getting dumber and dumber? Instead of arguing the facts, they were arguing the word, not realising that word meant the same damn thing!

Boston Legal - Religion

Lately I've become quite the fan of "Boston Legal" with James Spader, Candice Bergen & William Shatner. There's a great dynamic between the characters, and the characters themselves are unconventional and off the proverbial wall. Every few episodes you find a gem of social or political commentary. I have a few of these bookmarked and waiting in the wings. I have tried to create a video roll of all of them, but I have yet to find a site that does them to my satisfaction. So over the next little while I'll be posting a few clips from the show that speaks to some fairly heavy topics succinctly.

This one's on religion, specifically Scientology. Enjoy.

Cherry Picking The Bible

You know how fundamentalists quote The Bible for their beliefs? Especially the ones where they condone the blowing up of a planned parenthood clinic, or the subjugation of an entire race or condemnation of homosexuals? After all, The Bible is the word of God and hence sacrosanct. Ever notice how they tend to cherry pick only the passages that propagate their cause?

Before I go on, it is paramount to remember that in the Christian God's eyes, all sins carry the same weight. Also in His eyes, thinking about the sin is the equivalent to actually carrying it out. So the next time you think you want someone dead, you may as well just kill them, because in God's eyes, you already have. However I feel it my duty to point out that human laws look on them very differently. In human law think about killing people all you want, but if you actually did kill someone, you might find a needle in your arm.

Christians commonly use Leviticus 18:22 to decry homosexuals:

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Or Colossians 3:18 to domineer women:

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

Or Exodus 21:7 to both advocate slavery and suppress women:

And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.

But here's one you don't often hear about. It comes from Leviticus 19:19:

Keep my decrees. " 'Do not mate different kinds of animals. " 'Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. " 'Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.'

Now that's news to me. Apparently planting two types of seed in the same field is a hell worthy trespass. But the one that really gets to me is the wearing of two types of woven cloth. Do the Christians know about this? I mean I've seen Kosher food for the Jews, and Halal food for the Muslims, but I have never ever seen a sign for Christian safe clothing.

I just looked through my closet... okay I didn't, I just looked through my long overdue hamper of laundry and most of my shirts are a poly - cotton blend. Am I going to hell?

Talk about putting the "mental" back in to fundamental.

The point I'm trying to make is if one is going to use the The Bible to support their beliefs, then shouldn't they have to follow every aspect of The Bible? I mean, The Bible isn't a cafeteria menu. You're either following the whole book or none of it. Every part of The Bible is as important as any other part of The Bible. So maybe Christians ought to re-think the book they put so much value into? Or at the very least, rethink beliefs.

Look, I don't mean to harp on Christians. Well, actually I do, but the reason I haven't addressed the crazy stuff that Muslims do in the name of religion- despite having been raised Muslim, and a practising one at that- is I happen to know more about Christianity than Islam; that should give you an idea of how well this former practising Muslim knew his religion.

Damn, all this seemed more eloquent in my head, but lately, for some reason, I haven't been able to put my thoughts to paper/screen as well as I should be able to. Apologies for this below par entry.

Thesaurus Bias?

I wanted to do an entry on my thoughts on the religious, the atheists and the agnostics. I decided to postpone said entry in order to address my findings at thesaurus.com.

Synonyms for religious include, but are not limited to:

Ethical, Goody (Goodly?), Honest, Honorable, Just, Moral, Noble, Pure, Righteous, Upright

The antonym for religious is atheistic, and synonyms for that include but are not limited to:

Depraved, Evil, Graceless, Heathen, Infidel, Profane, Unclean, Unprincipled, Unrighteous, Wicked

In light of the world we current live, is it just me or do these associations seem antiquated and biased? Bill Maher said something to the effect that 9/11 was a faith based initiative. In short, "religious" and its synonyms are neither mutually inclusive, nor mutually exclusive, ditto with 'atheistic" Does anyone out there know of a more secular resource?

As someone who considers himself to be anywhere from agnostic to mildly religious, I find the above entries to be highly offensive. In a language that is in a constant state of flux why hasn't this be updated? We have the time to debate whether "D'oh" should be added to the English dictionary, but something like this, something, that is in my mind, of more importance than Homer Simpsons' annoyed grunt, has slipped through the cracks. Am I the only one who sees a problem with this?

Canadian poppy quarter triggers US spy warning

Canadian 'poppy coin' culprit behind U.S. spy warning

(AP) -- An odd-looking Canadian coin with a bright red flower was the culprit behind a U.S. Defense Department false espionage warning earlier this year about mysterious coin-like objects with radio frequency transmitters.

The harmless "poppy coin" was so unfamiliar to suspicious U.S. Army contractors traveling in Canada that they filed confidential espionage accounts about them.

The worried contractors described the coins as "anomalous" and "filled with something man-made that looked like nanotechnology," according to once-classified U.S. government reports and e-mails obtained by the AP.

The silver-colored 25-cent piece features the red image of a poppy -- Canada's flower of remembrance -- inlaid over a maple leaf. The unorthodox quarter is identical to the coins pictured and described as suspicious in the contractors' accounts.

The supposed nanotechnology actually was a conventional protective coating the Royal Canadian Mint applied to prevent the poppy's red color from rubbing off. The mint produced nearly 30 million such quarters in 2004 commemorating Canada's 117,000 war dead.

"It did not appear to be electronic [analog] in nature or have a power source," wrote one U.S. contractor, who discovered the coin in the cup holder of a rental car. "Under high power microscope, it appeared to be complex consisting of several layers of clear, but different material, with a wire-like mesh suspended on top."

Goodness gracious me. How stupid do Americans think we are? If we were to spy on US military contractors, I'm pretty sure CSIS would find a more surreptitious way of doing it. Placing a red flower on a Canadian quarter to draw attention to it wouldn't be very high on the list. What a bunch of maroons.

Ain't that the truth?

South Park - Niggers - Priceless

This is from Season 11 Episode 1. By far one of the funniest South Parks I've seen. Watch it while you still can. I was surprised to find this on YouTube, considering Viacom (Comedy Central's parent company) is suing YouTube.

Some KARAZY Yo-Yo skills.

I don't even know what to say about this kid. All I know is, I watched the whole thing mouth agape

Nigger - There, I said it.

This is something that I've had two minds about for a long time now. There used to be a time when I got so offended by "nigger", I would not permit it uttered in my presence in any context. I wonder if this was simply a knee-jerk reaction to political correctness or if I was truly put off by the word - Then came the "N-word". Lately, I've been put off with that term too. There just seems to be no pleasing me. I feel that "N-word" is silly. In my mind, the use of "N-word" is the same as saying nigger, so why do we feel the need to sugar-coat what is essentially an ugly word? I mean, it's getting to point of becoming like "Voldemort".

I understand and try to appreciate nigger's origin. I do realise the negativity associated with its early use. However, today nigger has, in a manner of speaking, been "reclaimed" by the African-North American community, or at least by their youth. This leads to a larger issue, which used to be my argument against the use of nigger: words either have meaning or they don't, and therein lies the conundrum.

By utilising said argument, one tends to disregard context. My question is how important is context? If I were to refer to my buddy J as "my nigger" it wouldn't raise an eyebrow, whereas, if I were to call him a "fucking nigger", I'm sure it would lead to fisticuffs. So, obviously in this instance, context is very important. And the only reason it works is due to the reclamation of the word.

If I was to take it one step further, and attempt a similar scenario but with a different word that has not been reclaimed the way nigger has, I'm not so sure it would work. Say for instance if J was to come up to me and say "My paki, what's going on?". In my mind, those are fighting words. Here, context doesn't matter. The word is still an insult. Am I being hypocritical? Does reclamation of a word matter? At what point does a word become reclaimed? What's next? The "P-word" for Paki? The "C-word" for chink? What would cancer have to say about that? I'm confused.

[EDIT]

Question, when a person of note is caught for saying nigger is public, especially in a derogatory way... wait... let me rephrase, when a white person of note is caught saying nigger in derogatory way why is it they need to apologise to Al Sharpton or Rev. Jesse Jackson (see video above)? As Token Black from South Park so aptly put it, they are not the emperors of black people.

J recently informed me that, just this past weekend, he heard a couple of Indian people call each other Paki, a la black people calling each other nigger. I don't know what to think of that...
