Getting It Wrong, Again...

"Shout down the Sharia myth makers" (JTA) Sounding much like an extra in a Jihadist's B film, Abraham H. Foxman is the kind of guy that, had he been living in Germany, would have said in 1935 that Hitler and the Ruff Bhoys were just a passing faze for disgruntled out of work WW1 losers. That they were temporarily a little misguided, but were really salt of the earth Fatherland lovers who just uniformed-up to march, though perhaps too self indulgent with beer and a sing-song. Abe would have enjoyed a good Schubert melody though it would have been Ludwig that tugged at his wannabe German heart. He would have viewed those who were dispatching their children to Britain as unpatriotic and not much better than paranoid panic merchants. And even as he was being loaded onto a cattle truck he would still have been shouting about always having been a good loyal German.
Abe and his band; ever the apologists for Islam. Left of center intellectuals, singing from the same old "We Can Never Get It Right" sheet music.
If the elephants were heading for high ground as the sea retreated at pace to some distant horizon; the oblivious Abe and Co would still be readying themselves for their beach picnic with a chilled Chardonnay to hand...getting it wrong, again.

Last Call For A Mr Obama...

 "The United States is poised to shift its position on Syria by calling on President Bashar al-Assad to step down because of the violence he has inflicted on his own people and his failure to implement meaningful reforms for the last five months." (Guardian, UK)

Yeah, this is the guy. He's known to quake at the sound of a toughing stand.

Barack Obama, for five months the Rip van Winkle of Middle East politics has woken up and will "toughen his stand". What does this friggin' mean? And he'll 'issue the demand as early as Thursday.' Well Mr Decisive, you're only five months and a Thursday too late! Is there a calender and clock that works in your White Over-Ground Bunker? On March 9, 2011 at sleepy time, did someone slip you a very strong malted milk and as Jay Carney was doing a major DIY number, he just let you have a long lie-in? Please,please....just catch the first coach back to some Illinois Community Centre and throw a few hoops with some old buddies. You're just so way out of your depth.

Avoid High Place, Stay In Bed!

"A new research has indicated that animal's brains are only roughly aware of how high-up they are in space, meaning that in terms of altitude the brain's 'map' of space is surprisingly flat." (Indian Express)

'Alas poor Yorik I knew him well'

Scientists have also spent many years in the study of neuron network cells; Why eat square sausage with a pan loaf when in Scotland? In humans, a solar flare or badly behaved battery in or near the brain's campo-hippo, could make you name your first born: Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The infant will almost certainly develop to around 5'4'' smoke 45 Trincomall cigars a day and be overly fascinated by heavy pieces of joined-up metal.

Now where's me flipin' matches.

Moving on...further research might very well confirm that you have something rather similar to the top photo? That'll be a good start providing you haven't mislaid the missing piece. Many in the consultancy profession have a tendency to dismiss this as unimportant, so when attending day clinic at the Brain-Map and Empty Space Dept. found on the second floor, take it with. Can the brain's comprehension of height or horizon be more fully explored by say: letting rats loose in a crowded canteen during lunch? Those first jumping onto anything higher than the floor would certainly prove this to be the case; for grid measuring distance cells and place cells which indicate the location of a chair are the best ones to fire off by those who have rodent aversion.
The so called leap-on-a-chair study is supported and part funded by Ikea and the TrustUsAlways Inc Corp. In his pithy lecture, Professor Jackanoray elaborated, "We are very sensitive to any horizontal space, hence bed lying is especially popular on wet Mondays but let's not exclude any remaining work days. We humans have limited ability at quantifying how high a cliff may be, so stepping off could get you a hefty dry cleaning bill; and when flying at 37,000 feet, unless you happen to be seated next to Mr Mel Brooks, surprises await the impatient traveler should the desire to door-open strike"
Those intrigued to know the potential out come of stepping off a kerb or sky diving if your 'shoot fails, should contact your nearest Psychology and Language Sciences Faculty. (Photos/Art: Copyright Control)

Men Of Honor? You Decide!

Mujahideen-e Khalq: Former U.S. Officials Make Millions Advocating For Terrorist Organization: "hat agenda: to secure the removal of the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK) from the U.S. government's list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. A Marxian Iranian exile group with cult-like qualities, Mujahideen-e Khalq was responsible for the killing of six Americans in Iran in the 1970s, along with staging a handful of bombings. But for a terrorist organization with deep pockets, it appears there's always hope."

'London Calling'

 "LONDON — Officials vowed to review security plans for the 2012 London Olympics on Tuesday as a third day of rioting forced the cancellation of England's football match against the Netherlands." (AFP)

Pity we can't put this one down to Gerry.

Widespread unrest across the capital was/is mainly a result of unseasonable weather (11C has been recorded) and a dearth of A/C units. The apparent inability of police to use the tactics perfected by Assad's riot quellers has added to policing difficulties. "If we had a few tanks and the like," said a dishearten PC with a wooden round stick and dustbin lid for protection, "the really 'ard lootin' crew would have 'ad their botty's bazooka'd."
The UK Home Secretary Theresa not-up-to-the-job May said officials would "look at whatever is necessary to relieve me of my post."  Frankie Foreign Office waded in, "In order to ensure a trouble-free Olympics, Son of Assad should be free from his domestic duties in Syria and will be in charge of co-ordinating the necessary in order to keep street scum tweeters well contained."
May snatched the mic back and droned on, "My autocue says that we take issue with certain media, suggesting that had the billions of borrowed money spent for jonny foreigner to swim, track-trot and throw objects around a field;  had even a fraction of it been spent in the direction of the disenfranchised youth of London, none of this rough and tumble, fire starting stuff would have been forthcoming." breathing in not a moment too soon, she wailed on, "I have to say, that's Ken's usual leftie bollocks. Next summer's sports extravagant Olympics will be a triumph; and I'm certain that Blitz weary Londoners of all creeds and hues will forgive the ego-tripping leadership on both sides of the House, even when their community charges rocket for the next two decades."  (Photo:AFP)

Close Encounters? Bring Them On!

Yeah I know...Alien craft at 3 o'clock...tell them to wait.

The Donald: Poking loads of countries with his sand wedge after chipping them from an impossible angle; 'The Hair' on the bag, riding the rough with ner' a lock misplaced or dropped ball. However...Huckabee and Trump having completed their 1st round qualifier of the GOP's Tease & Flirt Tourney, an increasingly bemused public had left Mike and partner to play themselves out in the fading light, before retiring to have their card marked. A month or so later, back on the practise range taking turns with a driver at China, OPEC and Treasury Sec Timmy G., Mr Trump said to anyone within hearing, while firing one off Big John D style, "It's much more satisfying at present, sticking it to them without being accountable or responsible for any possible negative outcomes for the land I love; and of course, it still doesn't rule anything out for another appearance at the GOP Open in a few years time." chuckled Himself, as he nudged the churchy fellow aside.

Gridlock Gurus...

"In 1999, scientists gathered at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico to solve our national traffic problem" (NorthJersey.com)

The Atomic Grandpas and friends had built the bomb just a few blocks from where the current Juniors are still playing with their super computers, simulating driving on congested highways. Why can’t we get anywhere asks the non driver? Well, it turns out that traffic when behaving like sardines, is deceptively smelly, oily and gives you fish head breath."It's a complicated problem which we could very easily solve", ventured a crafty employee, "but who wants to be living in a cardboard box when a twin piped, super-charged turbo is yours to thrash," cagey Colin continued. "It could be said to resemble molecular physics. In fact, that's exactly what we tell the deskies at LA's  Dept of Big Jamms to get them off our backs. At meetings down town one of us likes to commence the avalanche for coffee with something like, "It’s a system of individual particles interacting in complex ways, which allows traffic to create minds of their own. There are three kinds of traffic; slow/nearly/and really stopped. And there's the lane switchers, curb crawlers and unstable regimes. That's stop-go to you. But next to the dubious-credentialed top rippers that get stacks of funding for Squirrels: Their Major Contribution to Global Warming; well, we're just little tequilas."
But now, after a decade or more with an aeon of time squandered on the tax payers tab with gaming, tennis and golf; finally in a soon to be published paper which can be downloaded at L/Td/24517grilo.com a synopsis of the empirical document reads: "more traffic, lost appointments, increased road rage."
