British athletes have been asked to sign a contract stating they will not criticize the communist government if selected to go to the Olympics.
The move – which raises the spectre of the order given to the England football team to give a Nazi salute in Berlin in 1938 – immediately provoked a storm of protest.
I couldn’t agree more. My only question is: Why was China selected to host at all?

Two weeks before Yara, an American businesswoman, was arrested by Saudi Arabia’s religious police for sitting with a male colleague at Starbucks, she said she strolled past the very same cafe with another businessman: Neil Bush.
Bush, President George W. Bush’s younger brother and CEO of the education software company Ignite!, was in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, speaking at an economic forum hosted by King Abdullah for hundreds of influential business leaders.
Yara, who does not want her last name revealed because of safety concerns, is a managing partner at a Saudi financial company. She went to hear Bush speak, and she said she invited him later to tour her company’s offices, to give him a sense of what life was really like for women living in the capital.
“I was boasting about Riyadh, telling him it doesn’t deserve its bad reputation,” she said. “I told him I never experienced any harassment. I’d had no trouble as a woman. It was business as usual.”
But on Monday, Yara learned that she had been wrong. She was thrown in jail, strip-searched, threatened and forced to sign false confessions by the kingdom’s “Mutaween” police.
“When I was arrested, it was like going through an avalanche,” she said. “All of my beliefs were completely destroyed.”
Yara’s crime: sitting with a male business partner in the “family-only” section of the Starbucks — the only area of the café where women and men can sit together. In Saudi Arabia, public contact between unrelated men and women is strictly prohibited.

Why political unity is not such a great idea.
 What Obama and others, captivated by the notion of unity, could reasonably promise is not national unity but simply unity within the Democratic Party or within the Republican Party. For Republicans and Democrats do not and should not agree. Different, competing visions of the public good are the lifeblood of a dynamic and open democracy. They strengthen our democracy, engage citizens in meaningful political debate and keep us awake.
When tumult is absent, when everyone in a state is tranquil, Machiavelli wrote, “we can be sure that it is not a republic.” Out of unity, Obama believes, change will somehow emerge. But only insignificant or incremental changes can come out of the compromises that are reached through consensus. Transformational change, on the other hand, is the product of conflict and polarization.
England has just installed several cameras in a park that have speakers connected to them, so that operators may tell off people who are behaving in an “anti-social” manner.
“We are not in a police state, we are in a democracy and people understand we are doing it for their safety. This will help make these places safe.â€
Sounds like the beginning of a police state to me. It is the responsibility of each individual in this world to make sure they survive and live until the next day. In the very rare case that a person is attacked they must be ready to defend themselves. If nothing else, run away.
By the way on the scale of democracies England falls below the United States and if we in the US are not careful this could happen here.
I’m starting a pool on how this guy, Geert Wilders, will be killed. He plans to air a short film he made criticizing Islam.
He has 24 hour security.
He will die.
I see a trend. More and more courageously outspoken people say what they think about a certain religion and then crazy Islamofascists kill them. I think we need a term for this, Koranicide? Auto-Islamic Asphyxiation? I don’t know, I’m open to suggestions. Eventually it will become so dangerous to express your views that I predict Britain will ban criticism of the Koran or Islam as part of a public health issue.

“People who watch the movie will see that the Koran is very much alive today, leading to the destruction of everything we in the Western world stand for, which is respect and tolerance,” Wilders, the 41-year-old leader of the right-wing Party for Freedom, said last month in a telephone interview with FOXNews.com.
So what do yo think? Shot down in the street? Stabbed? Beheaded? Exploded to death by a car bomb? My money is on a big car bomb that takes out his whole security team as well a a dozen or so “innocent” bystanders because, as you know, “Allah is Fair in Love and Jihad”.

KABUL, Afghanistan — An Afghan court on Tuesday sentenced a 23-year-old journalism student to death for distributing a paper he printed off the Internet that three judges said violated the tenets of Islam, an official said.
This is from my friend Daniel, artist, designer, evil picture maker.
“Sahih Bukhari is a collection of sayings and deeds of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), also known as the Sunnah. Contained in this revered Islamic scripture, the prophet Mohammed, the founder of the Islamic faith, was quoted saying, “The people who will receive the severest punishment from Allah will be the picture makers†(Sahih Bukhari, Book 024, Number 5270); “…the most grievously tormented people on the Day of Resurrection would be the painters of picturesâ€(Book 024, Number 5271).”
I think I’m in trouble…better hope they don’t take over the US – I’ll be one of the first herded onto the stainless steel boxcars.
Yeah, those picture makers, they are pure evil.

University of Minnesota researchers created a beating rat heart in a laboratory by using the valves and outer structure of a dead rat’s heart as scaffolding for new heart cells injected from newborn rats.
Scientists should be able to grow a human heart by taking stem cells from a patient’s bone marrow and placing them in a cadaver heart prepared as a scaffold.

California energy regulators are considering taking control of residents’ thermostats, giving them the ability to control the temperatures of homes during energy crises, the New York Times reports.
The California Energy Commission is expected to vote on the rules next month, which would give utilities the power to control home thermostats via radio control to manage electricity shortages, the paper reports.
I had not heard that there was something wrong with Glenn Beck, but apparently he had surgery during the past week and things did not go well. He has posted a video online explaining what happened and how it has changed him.

“DRM Free” isn’t just a political statement, but a real consumer benefit: such files are compatible with virtually everything, any PC, Windows, Linux or Mac, and virtually any handheld, from iPods and iPhones to Sony PSPs and smartphones of all flavors. Suddenly the idea of branding those “unlocked” files started to make perfect sense.

I’m Back Home, But Still in Iraq’s Grasp

The only feeling I’ve ever had that was more surreal than arriving in a war zone was returning from one.
I came home on R&R in 2005 after eight months in Iraq. Heading for the baggage claim in Detroit, I watched travelers walking and talking on their cellphones, chatting with friends and acting just the way people had before I’d left for Baghdad. The war didn’t just seem to be taking place in another country; it seemed to be taking place in another universe. There I was, in desert camouflage, wondering how all the intensity, the violence, the tears and the killing of Iraq could really be happening at the same time that all these people were hurrying to catch their flights to Las Vegas or Los Angeles or wherever.

Planebuzz has a story on a passenger who was influenced by iPhone pilot/weather commercial…
“Some guy with an IPhone says the weather is good, and wants to know what the real reason is for the delay. Is something wrong with the plane?â€
So, the pilot gets on the PA and responds…
“If the passenger with the IPhone would be kind enough to use it to check the weather at our alternate, calculate our fuel burn due to being rerouted around the storms, call the dispatcher to arrange our release, and then make a phone call to the nearest Air Traffic Control center to arrange our timely departure amongst the other aircraft carrying passengers with IPhones, then we will be more than happy to depart. Please ring your call button to advise the Flight Attendant and your fellow passengers when you deem it ready and responsible for this multi-million dollar aircraft and its passengers to safely leave.â€

October 15, 2007 — WASHINGTON – U.S. intelligence officials got mired for nearly 10 hours seeking approval to use wiretaps against al Qaeda terrorists suspected of kidnapping Queens soldier Alex Jimenez in Iraq earlier this year, The Post has learned.
Starting at 10 a.m. on May 15, according to a timeline provided to Congress by the director of national intelligence, lawyers for the National Security Agency met and determined that special approval from the attorney general would be required first.
For an excruciating nine hours and 38 minutes, searchers in Iraq waited as U.S. lawyers discussed legal issues and hammered out the “probable cause” necessary for the attorney general to grant such “emergency” permission.
