Banks Won’t Cash Fort Hood Jihadi’s Military Paychecks

Banks Won’t Cash Fort Hood Jihadi’s Military Paychecks

Poor little terrorist.

Fox News:
The accused Fort Hood gunman, an army psychiatrist, is still getting paychecks from the U.S. military — but soon may not have a bank to cash them.
Bank of America has given Maj. Nidal Malk Hasan 30 days to find another bank to cash his checks. Hasan’s attorney, John Galligan, told KVTX.com that the bank didn’t give for terminating his account, but instead said it was doing so “at their own discretion.”
Bank of America declined to comment for this story, citing its client privacy policies.

Theodore Herrera - "I luv a Happy Ending."


Gaza City, Gaza (CNN) -- A senior Hamas member was killed during Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, Hamas security forces said Saturday.
An airstrike in central Gaza killed Saed Al Bitran, who was responsible for manufacturing weapons, the Hamas forces said.
The Israel Defense Forces said the attack on a weapons-manufacturing site in central Gaza was part of a series of strikes starting late Friday in response to a rocket assault on Ashkelon earlier in the day.

Snooki-gate threatens Obama Regime

From The American Thinker:

July 31, 2010
SnookiGate Threatens White House
Jack Cashill

. . . When asked about Snooki on The View earlier that day, Obama answered, "I don't know who that is."  Two months prior at the White House Correspondents dinner, however, Obama had joked that "Snooki" would be one of a few "excluded from the indoor tanning tax."  
Class action lawsuits have been ginned up over far less.  What did Obama know and when did he know it? Watch for Snooki v. Sebelius to make its way to the Supreme Court. . . .

Still #1 in the Solar System! World Population to Top 7 Billion in 2011

World Population Forecast to Top 7 Billion in 2011 - NYTimes.com:
With 267 people being born every minute and 108 dying, the world’s population will top seven billion next year, a research group projects, while the ratio of working-age adults to support the elderly in developed countries declines precipitously because of lower birthrates and longer life spans.

Reports of the zombie revolt are exaggerated:


Sadly, the article only gets more pessimistic, downright hostile, to the notion of more people being a good thing. It reminded me of some ancient movie we had to watch in high school, and in a couple of college classes (sadly, or thankfully, I have forgotten the title) that tried to advance the ideas of people like Population Bomb author Paul Ehrlich (sadly, I remember that one).  I am a little tired of being polite to these crackpots. The Green Revolution is continuing to feed the world and the only thing stopping food from being 'dirt cheap' is governments and environmental do-gooders standing in the way of developing nations advancement into modern farming techniques.

Ridley Scott's Robin Hood: Men in Tights it Ain't


New at Reason: Cathy Young on Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood


. . . Cathy Young reviews the recent movie Robin Hood and explains why the Robin Hood of myth and folklore probably has much more in common with the “libertarian rebel” played by Russell Crowe than the medieval socialist of the “rob from the rich, give to the poor” cliché.

Cathy Young, at Libertarian leaning Reason magazine, has an insightful review of the latest Robin Hood remake. She also shines some light on the criticism from Karina Longworth of The Village Voice, who complained: “instead of robbing from the rich to give to the poor, this Robin Hood preaches about ‘liberty’ and the rights of the individual” and battles against “government greed.” Young goes back to the ballads of auld to point out how this new Robin Hood is closer to the legend.

Trade Secrets vs. Right to Work where you chose

Secret of English muffin 'nooks & crannies' is safe for now - USATODAY.com:

By Maryclaire Dale, Associated Press Writer
PHILADELPHIA — A former food-industry executive armed with the secret to the 'nooks and crannies' in Thomas' English muffins displayed 'suspicious conduct' before his planned move to rival Hostess, a U.S. appeals court said in upholding a ban on the move.
Chris Botticella of Trabuco Canyon, Calif., remains barred from starting the Hostess job while a trade-secret lawsuit filed by Thomas' parent company, Bimbo Bakeries USA, plays out.

Botticella is one of just seven people worldwide who know the recipe and manufacturing process that give Thomas' English muffins their trademark 'nooks and crannies,' according to Bimbo.

Obama says African-Americans are a "Mongrel People"

The president appeared on ABC’s morning talk show “The View” Thursday, where he talked about the forced resignation of Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod, his experience with race and his roots.


When asked about his background, which includes a black father and white mother, Obama said of African-Americans: "We are sort of a mongrel people."


"I mean we're all kinds of mixed up," Obama said. "That's actually true of white people as well, but we just know more about it."
The rest at the here.

Who knew what a visionary Dan Rather was?
"Listen he's a nice person, he's very articulate" this is what's been used against him, "but he couldn't sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic."

An Abominable Decision - Mark R. Levin - The Corner on National Review Online

An Abominable Decision - Mark R. Levin - The Corner on National Review Online



This is a typical example of a judge stating the correct legal standard, but then ignoring it and applying the test in a fashion completely divorced from the facts of the case in order to reach a predetermined decision.

First, the court states correctly that the sort of constitutional challenge brought here — a facial challenge — is the most difficult challenge to mount successfully. It requires that the plaintiff (here the federal government) must demonstrate that the law can never be applied in a constitutional fashion. The test cannot be met with hypothetical arguments — yet that is exactly what the court relies on in its ruling: the assertion that the AZ law will impose an impermissible burden on law enforcement, which is to determine the legal status of a person detained pursuant to the AZ law on the reasonable suspicion that the person is in the country illegally. The court does not provide any empirical basis to support its conclusion. It’s pure supposition.

New at Reason: Steve Chapman on the Gay Marriage Debate - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine


Why would the socially conservative National Organization for Marriage hold an anti-gay marriage rally in Madison, Wisconsin, where the group was sure of being badly outnumbered by motivated and well-organized critics? Maybe, writes Steve Chapman, because that's what the group wanted. The rally managed to make opponents of gay marriage look like a brave, embattled minority, even though they constitute 53 percent of the public and have gotten their way in all but a few states.
