Saudi Media Reports as True 'Obama is a Muslim' Joke

Posted: 11 Dec 2010 01:16 PM PST


Something lost in translation...

"When a US satirist joked that President Barack Obama will admit to Congress that he is Muslim in his latest compromise with Republicans, Saudi media took it seriously.

On Friday the online version of Al-Hayat newspaper and the prominent news website Sabq.org both reported straightforwardly humourist Andy Borowitz's column that began:

"In his latest effort to find common ground with Republicans in Congress, President Barack Obama said today that he was willing to agree that he is a Muslim.

"In agreeing that he is a Muslim, Mr. Obama is sending a clear signal that he is trying to find consensus," Borowitz said in the column posted on the Huffington Post and The Borowitz Report websites this week.

Both Al-Hayat, one of the Middle East's most influential newspapers, and Sabq, believed to be controlled by the Saudi interior ministry, apparently missed the joke.

"Obama doesn't mind coming out as a Muslim if that will satisfy the Republicans," the Al-Hayat headline said.

Asylum Seekers to Czech Republic Based on Claim of Being Gay Must Pass a Peter-Meter Test

Posted: 11 Dec 2010 01:11 PM PST


Something even more indigent then the Naked Body Scanners or the 'Enhanced Pat Downs'. If you are not clear on exactly what a Peter-Meter test, lets just say they attach a device to your junk so your 'reactions' can be monitored while you are subjected to sexually explicit imagery.

http://www.boingboing.net/2010/12/09/-if-you-think-a.html (via)

"If you think a TSA grope is bad, gay men seeking asylum in the Czech Republic are forced to drop their pants and get hooked up to a penile plethysmograph to find out just how gay they are. After the "peter meter" device is attached to their penises, they are subjected to all kinds of pornography to see what happens to their junk. This test then determines if they can seek asylum.

The European Union's main human rights agency, the Fundamental Rights Agency, denounced the procedure. BBC reports, "The case first came to light after a German court refused to deport an Iranian asylum seeker to the Czech Republic, saying as a homosexual he would be subjected to the test." Apparently, your religious views about viewing pornography are ignored. And it's OK, sez Czech officials, because they only do it to asylum seekers who identify as gay.

Cancun COP16 Attendees Sign a Petition to Ban Water And Cripple The US Economy

Posted: 11 Dec 2010 01:01 PM PST


They signed a petition to ban "dihydrogen monoxide". If you are a bit confused, it is ok; as long as you do not claim supreme understanding of Earth's weather systems and with in the authority to determine how all humans should live. 'Dihydrogen' is the scientific way of saying two hydrogen atoms (H2), while monoxide us the scientific way of saying one oxygen atom (O1); in other words they signed a petition to ban H2O or water.

TSA Recommends Using Sexual Predator Tactics to Calm Kids For Enhanced Pat Downs

Posted: 11 Dec 2010 12:52 PM PST


Not in so many words of course, but the idea is a shared one. You know that someday, one of those kids is going to get labeled as a sexual predator for playing this 'game' with a friend.

http://www.boingboing.net/2010/12/01/tsa-recommends-using.html

"TSA regional security director James Marchand advises parents whose kids are upset by TSA groping to make a game of it, a suggestion that alarmed sex-abuse prevention experts, since "Telling a child that they are engaging in a game is 'one of the most common ways' that sexual predators use to convince children to engage in inappropriate contact.""

Unidentified House Democrat - "F*ck The President"

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 08:44 PM PST


Some Democrats really do not like the tax compromise. Can you imagine the media outrage if it had been a Republican.

http://www.rollcall.com/news/-201347-1.html

"The frustration with President Barack Obama over his tax cut compromise was palpable and even profane at Thursday's House Democratic Caucus meeting.

One unidentified lawmaker went so far as to mutter "f--- the president" while Rep. Shelley Berkley was defending the package the president negotiated with Republicans. Berkley confirmed the incident, although she declined to name the specific lawmaker.

"It wasn't loud," the Nevada Democrat said. "It was just expressing frustration from a very frustrated Member."

Not since the Nazis has a Nobel Peace Price winner been unable to attend the ceremony. The Chinese just updated that.

Teacher Suffers a Miscarriage Trying to Breaking up a Classroom Fight

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 07:46 PM PST


The two students fighting were suspended, though there was no word on how long. Who would elbow and knock over their pregnant teacher; and over a chair?

http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local-beat/Teacher--111665299.html

"A Bronx teacher suffered a miscarriage after breaking up a fight between two students over a chair, school officials said Thursday.

Lissedia Batista, 27, was elbowed in the stomach, pushed, and fell to the floor as she tried to get in the middle of a fight between two students. The fight happened in a Spanish class in Exploration Academy.

Batista was four months pregnant and was taken by ambulance to North Centeral Bronx Hospital, where she miscarried her baby.

Cancun Experiences 100-Year Record Low Temperatures as Global Warming Conference Held

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 07:24 PM PST


This seems to happen almost every time they meet. Maybe their goal is to force Global Cooling through all these Global Warming meetings.

http://theweek.com/article/index/210181/irony-alert-the-unusually-chilly-global-warming-summit

"As negotiators from nearly 200 countries met in Cancun to strategize ways to keep the planet from getting hotter, the temperature in the seaside Mexican city plunged to a 100-year record low of 54° F. Climate-change skeptics are gleefully calling Cancun's weather the latest example of the "Gore Effect" — a plunge in temperature they say occurs wherever former Vice President Al Gore, now a Nobel Prize-winning environmental activist, makes a speech about the climate. Although Gore is not scheduled to speak in Cancun, "it could be that the Gore Effect has announced his secret arrival," jokes former NASA scientist Roy W. Spencer."
