Blame My Kid (UPDATED)

Shortly after my last post where I promised (again) I was going to start posting, my boy walked in with a copy of DOOM 3 he found in a bargain bin. I hadn't gamed in quite a while and got hooked. It was more fun to shoot demons than think about politics and try to write something.

I've started cruising around my regular blog sights the last few days and trying to stop in and say hello to my old friends.

I was at Hot Air last night and saw some stuff to pass on:

Does Hillary attend her committee meetings?

One has to wonder after reading this quote from her husband:
He continued to highlight the military issue later in Cary, accentuating his wife’s gender to emphasize his point that more generals have endorsed Clinton than both Obama and Republican candidate John McCain.

“You might wonder why that’s so: Why did they endorse the girl for president? All these generals?” Clinton said.

He said that’s partially because she’s the only member of the Armed Services Committee in the race and also because of her support for wounded veterans.
[em-mine]

Methinks that Bill actually did inhale and never exhaled being:
At the top of the column of Republicans sits John McCain, ranking member on the Committee. According to Wikipedia, he’s been there since 1987, or about four times as long as Hillary, who joined the committee in 2003.

Do these people really believe that they can make up facts and rewrite history and nobody is going to notice? I'm thinking about starting a pool on when Bill gets banished from the campaign. How many times will Shrillary let him spout something stupid off the top of his head and throw her rapidly sinking run off track?

Hosting company pulls the plug on Geert Wilders’s anti-Islam movie?

Well, there they go again. No one has seen the film yet, but the mooselimbs are howling that it's racist/unfair/etc.

Luckily the shift I'm working now allowed me to get home and go to the U.K. web site and find this:
NO FITNA The Movie



It should be fairly obvious by now that there is no "Fitna" movie. No movie to insult Islam or Muslims or anyone else for that matter. The month of April is upon us, we all know the month of April starts with the 1st April and that day is famous for (practical) jokes.

Holland might not be considered as a country with a great sense of humour but ever once in awhile even in Holland they crack a joke. So, bottom line; if you are here to find the Famous Fitna movie I guess you have been had !!!

On the other hand, if you are worried about how much unrest the rumour of a 15 minute movie about Islam can create, maybe it is time to identify and deal with the issues at hand.

When points of view are miles apart, the truth can usually be found near the middle.


ps

Surely this site will soon be hacked and diverted to some muslim site, some people just don't have a sense of humour.


Happy Easter !!!


Months of bitching, moaning and threats over a completely imagined slight. I like the Dutch sense of humor!

UPDATE: Turns out the UK site I went to was a hoax site from the beginning. The movie does exist, it just hasn't been determined by the spineless weasels at the host server whether we will be allowed to see it

Finally just a bit of fun:
