Cartoon Bomb
Netanyahu’s cartoon bomb presentation at the UN brought the attention only a cartoon bomb can bring. Bill Schanefelt at American Thinker posted an analysis connecting the dots from Bibi’s bomb to the Danish Muhammed cartoon bomb blasphemy.
Romney’s Common Touch
If the polls are right, Romney isn’t connecting with us common folk in Ohio. Michael Kinsley says he is the new Dukakis. Rush says the polls are wrong because they oversample Democrats.
Replacement Refs
I thought I’d take a break from drawing about lying, incompetent politicians and instead draw about stupid, incompetent NFL replacement refs.
Here’s a Bleacher Report that looks into who the replacement refs really are, including one who was kicked out of the Lingerie League!
Obama Foreign Policy
Osama bin Laden is dead and al Qaeda is on the run…well…running through burning American embassies where it tortures and drags off dead ambassadors.
The UN General Assembly opened in New York on Monday. The Celebrity of the United States went there for serious talks with the world leaders of The View. He appeared with his wife, Michelle (airbrushed out of the image above), and quipped,”I’ve been told I’m eye candy here“. No, really, he did. I think it came from the same teleprompter voice that told him, “Harry, I have a gift”.
Victor Davis Hanson has a piece called The Fantasy House of Barack Obama. I recommend it to you.
Amish Beard Trimming
I get no kick from the Campaign. Islamic jihad doesn’t thrill me at all. I get a kick out of Amish beard cutting.
Especially when the cutter’s name is Samuel Mullet.
Men normally allow their beards to grow as a symbol of faith in the Amish religion. The Amish pride themselves on being plain. Actually they hate pride, but they do like plain. Anyway, Mr. Mullet appointed himself police of plainness and ordered his followers to cut off the beards of those not deemed by him to be sufficiently plain.
This was too much for a federal court, which said Mullet was guilty of hate crimes because the beard cutting was motivated by a religious dispute.
That’s an interesting take. American courts now settle religious disputes. If someone drags you out of your house and cuts off your beard, without an appointment, I might think of it as an aggravated hair assault. Or a Mitt Romney high school high jinx. But a hate crime? That would mean you are guilty of a state of mind – hate – religious hate to be specific. It would be a thought crime, or a faith crime. Do we really want to go down that road?
What other religious practices could be determined to be hate crimes? – Beheadings, blowing up embassies, crashing airplanes into buildings?
Seems awfully intolerant.
