Climate Change: Man-made Hockey Sticks

The Climatic Hokey Schtick

The primary drive for global weather panic, otherwise known as GLOBAL WARMING (gasp), comes from a simpleton graph by Michael E. Mann, known as The Hockey Stick. This graph reputed to show that the Earth was undergoing an unprecedented spike in temperature. The graph has been criticized by many real statisticians, paleontological climate scientists, and simple weathermen for various reasons.

The usual criticism is centered on the simple point that to establish a "norm" in statistics, one must be confident that a wide spread and accurate body of data exists to create a base line. For example, selecting Friday night at PM to average out the price of hotel rooms in New York City may not actually reflect..........the price of hotel rooms in New York City. And 1979 is really a bad year to suddenly start modern global weather science, but that is where the United Nations, NASA, and NOAA do,....... because that is when the USA put up the first weather satellite. 1979 was cold. Hey, but who cares? Seems like a nice place to begin if you want to prove the world .....warming.

In fact the world did significantly warm from 1979 thru 1998. And while temperatures have not risen since, the world remain a fraction of a degree warmer on average than it was from 1950 through 1979. This has apparently convinced many that the world is about to turn into Venus--and mankind is responsible.

But is this temperature really that historically unique?

Mann's Hockey Stick graph, Keith Briffa's information and graph of his own concluded as much.. In fact this information was incorporated, graph and all, into the United Nations report on Global Warming.




Many scientists always were skeptical of Mann and Briffa's seemingly absolute ability to discern average temperatures around the globe for tens of thousands of years. We presently cannot tell you the temperature of central Antarctica or Baffin Island.... last year or... last week.

But Mann and Briffa demonstrated to everyone that the present run up of the world's temperature for a 30 year period, from 1979 through 2007 was unprecedented, and hence gave Global Warmists their strongest data point that Global Warming was anthropogenic in origin. Because, well no one knows the because. Because a minor greenhouse gas, CO2, seemed to increase in correlation to the temperature.

Duh. (Could it be because a warmer world increases biologic and geologic CO2 ?)
Human kind exudes a great deal of Carbon Dioxide. All fauna does. Humans now contribute almost 6 billions tons a year to atmospheric Carbon Dioxide .





Against nature's 183 billion tons.

A year.

But what if the entire Hockey Stick graph was manufactured? What if the famous Hockey Stick was purposely created to prove a POLITICAL point?

That the Western World needed to become more like South America.
That Americans are evil.
That they should be punished?
That all of the Western World should be punished.
That people should have less babies.
That old people should be kindly eliminated.
That the unfit should be humanely disposed of.
That Democracy was an aboration that let peasants have a say over the 'much smarter'...and that these smarter people now need to create a series of International Treaties to deal with the aberrant societies.


As it turn out: it is true.

Manufactured by creating evidence by purposely choosing temperature proxies that favored a graph showing that historical Earth temperatures were markedly colder than now. Thus creating the impression that current temperatures are not only unusual, but an impetus to ...PANIC!!!!.




Steve McIntyre, has finally, after years of requests, has managed to get his hands on the temperature proxies selected by Briffa to establish the planet was in a runaway heat up. Proxies are obviously necessary because there were no thermometers around at the times we are interested in. So we use ice cores, ocean sediment, tree rings, dead civilizations, and geologic evidence to try to deduce past weather. Of course it is notoriously inaccurate. And extremely regional. In fact the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern often seem to be out of tune with each other.

Of all of the proxies one may use, tree rings seem the flimsiest. Tree rings vary because of sunlight, rain, weather, and stress. And there is only general correlation between these variables. Sometimes none at all.

So Mann and Briffa selected ....tree rings as his temperature proxy. The key word being 'selected'. Which cleared up why the data sources were basically concealed for 14 years. Briffa and Mann, who utilized the Briffa data selected tree proxies that indicated warming by their analytical methodology. When McIntyre included all proxies available to Briffa from the same sources, a decidedly different picture emerges:




Yup. The Hockey Stick turns into a Hokey Shtick.

Beijing Olympics: China's Great Fake Walls

The commentators all breathlessly described how busy China became getting Beijing "ready for the Olympics".

And China's communist leaders sure were busy!

After all, arresting dissidents and potential protesters isn't done in a day, and heaven knows it takes time to shut down factories and restrict residents' driving to clear up the oily smog that obscures Beijing on a normal day.



Today, Ed Morrissey included the pic at the top of the page in "Obama: Know where it’s really great to do business?".

"Unfortunately, most of what the cameras see is just a facade, as Dale Franks points out at Q&O:"

Perhaps, the facades in the top pic were built by the arrested dissidents?

Better not dwell to much on that possibility.

Might get accused of being a conspiracy theorist again.

Fake Pix: And Now for Some REAL Iranian Fauxtography

Iranian fauxtography? You want some real Iranian fauxtography?

From Iran - Dramatic Failure:

Iran was so proud of its rocket launch. It announced it to the world and then said it would put any Muslim satellite into space. Just one little problem. They can't get their rocket off of the ground safely.
Iran's attempt to launch a dummy satellite into orbit earlier this week was a "dramatic failure" that fell far short of the country's assertions of success, Reuters quoted a US official as saying on Tuesday.

The Rev. Nancy Pelosi's Fake Bible Verse

"The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, 'To minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.'"
--Reverend Nancy Pelosi

Question: What's the only thing funnier than a godless liberal?

Answer: A godless liberal quoting fake Bible verses to provide fake Biblical cover for a very real activist environmental agenda.

A Bible quote House Speaker Nancy Pelosi often uses to justify her environmental agenda doesn't exist, biblical scholars tell CNSNews.com reporter Pete Winn. Pelosi last cited the fictional Bible passage two days ago to commemorate Earth Day. In her April 22 news release, Pelosi said, "The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, 'To minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.'"

If the Rev. Pelosi really is anxious to quote Scripture, here's a genuine item to get her started. She's free to use it as often as she likes at the next time the House Democrats meet on taxation.

"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods."

Larry Sinclair-Obama: Obama Supporters Circulating Fake WashPo Story?

Fake!
WashPo Editorial Non-Existent



We got an email this morning that claimed to contain the text from a Washington Post story on Thursday, February 21 2008 about Larry Sinclair, the gay man who's polygraph test about his claims of sharing sex and cocaine with Barack Obama in 1999 will be released this week.

Sinclair has alleged that he shared gay sex and cocaine/crack with Obama in the back of a limo and at a motor lodge in Gurnee, IL in 1999 while the presidential candidate was a Illinois representative.

The story-editorial, according to the email, was dated February 21, 2008 and was to have been on WashPo page 1a2.

Here's what the email said the story contained.

In late fall of 2007 Lawrence Sinclair approached campaign officials of the Sen.Barack Obama campaign, and told them a very disturbing story. Rob Allen of the Sen. Obama campaign stated. After the meeting had concluded the campaign officials ruled it off, as "just someone trying to make a buck."
The following week they received a phone call, from a man claiming to represent Mr. Sinclair, and demanding $100,000.00 as restitution for his client.

Lawrence Sinclair has filed a federal suit against Barack Obama and others for harassment since the gay man released his video on YouTube.com, a internet web-site for viewing homemade videos, alleging that, the Senator from Illinois and Mr.Sinclair shared oral sex and cocaine in the back of a Mr. Sinclair's limo in Gurnee, IL in 1999.

The Post has learned that presiding Judge Donald Wilson is dismissing the case, due to credibility on Mr.Sinclair. Stating that the complainant has an extensive record of mischievous conduct. Further more such allegations warrant sound credible standards, which are not found in matters included in this suit.

Lawrence Sinclair was convicted of "fraud" two times and investigated eight times over 25 years, for trying to secure money for "black male" charges. Two of the defendants were political figures in Illinois and Indiana. Mr.Sinclair also has an extensive record of drug convictions. The Washington Post has learned."

Now, the email said that this was an editorial from the Washington Post.

We found that hard to believe for a number of reasons.

1- Why would the Washington Post write an editorial about a story that the Post has steadfastly refused to utter a word about?

2- The email doesn't read like much of an editorial to us. It reads more like someone trying to write a fake news story.

3- Some of the information contained in the email matched the same information we tried running down that appeared in this week's Globe tabloid concerning Larry Sinclair's prison record. We were unable to substantiate it, as of this time.

4- Some of the email's information was completely new: that is, the charge that Sinclair was involved in "black male" charges. "Black male"? This alone caused us to relegate the email to the scam/spam collection.

5- The information that we do know is true: i.e., the charges Sinclair has alleged, comes almost word-for-word from one of our Larry Sinclair stories here at DBKP.

Now, we'd be flattered if some editorial writer lifted a few sentences from our story, but we doubt very much that most editorial staff at the Washington Post (Kevin Sullivan--who's left a comment at DBKP a few months back--being the exception.)

So, we checked the email out.

We ran searches on the Washington Posts website: no editorial concerning Larry Sinclair.

We went through every editorial published by the Washington Post in the last 2 weeks.

Nope, no such animal.

Who is circulating the email with the fake Washington Post editorial?

Is it the Obama campaign? Or, perhaps just an over-zealous Obama supporter?

We can't imagine a Clinton or McCain supporter circulating the email. The email made its way to the editor at BNN also, where DBKP Obama-Sinclair stories have been posted.

In any case, Larry Sinclair has made his allegations publicly, and has been threatened for his troubles by Obama supporters and the campaign itself--according to Sinclair.

This letter--unless the editorial has been pulled, and that raises a whole other set of questions--is more evidence that tends to support Sinclair's allegations of intimidation by Obama supporters.

The plot thickens.

[NOTE: The email presented no links or other proof that this editorial exists and we can find no proof it exists, either. If anyone has a link to this supposed Washington Post editorial, send it along and we'll post it. But we don't expect to receive a link for a non-existant editorial using the term "black male" charges.]

Hackers Faces Prison over Fake TV Nuke Blast on Weather Report

Six months ago, Czech viewers hoping to catch the weather report, caught something else.

A nuclear blast disturbed their TV image of the placid Czech countryside.

The weather report that day appeared to be "sunny, pleasant".

For the group of hackers who spoofed the TV station, a less pleasant report was issued yesterday.

The dastardly members of a Czech art group who hacked into television broadcasting with images of a hoax nuclear explosion were charged.

They will have to stand trial--and could face jail time, said a state prosecutor Thursday.

The six members of the Prague-based Ztohoven group were charged last month with spreading false information and face up to three years in jail if convicted, said Dusan Ondracek, the state prosecutor in the northern town of Trutnov, who is in charge of the case.

The trial could begin by the end of January, Ondracek said.

On June 17, viewers of a Czech television channel watching a Web cam program monitoring weather in various Czech mountain resorts could see a nuclear explosion taking place in the Krkonose or Giant Mountains in the northern Czech Republic.

The group could take consolation, however. In December, the project was awarded the NG 333 prize for young artists by Prague's National Gallery together with a cash prize of 333,000 koruna (US$18,350).

At least they can afford an attorney.

More Fake White Liberal Outrage: The Rehabilitation of Duane "Dog" Chapman

Political Party Poop's Snoop Takes On
A Tiresome, Predictable, Outraged Liberal
in
"More Fake Liberal Outrage:
The Rehabilitation of Duane "Dog" Chapman"

Political Party Poop's Snoop offers "Ellen" some breakfast


DBKP asks Political Party Poop's Snoop for his opinion on Newshounds' Ellen dissing CORE's Roy Innis over Dog the Bounty Hunter's Duane Chapman.

Boy, did he give us his opinion!

INTRO: Duane "Dog" Chapman, Dog of TV's Dog the Bounty Hunter, had his phone conversation with a son taped and sold to the National Enquirer. During the conversation, Chapman repeatedly used a racial slur. Arts and Entertainment Network then pulled the show from its line-up.

In the intervening weeks, a chastised Chapman has sought out civil rights leaders, black charity groups and others in continuing effort to not only rehabilitate his image, but also to honestly change, what he's called "hurtful" behavior and words with which he heard and used while he was a youth.

DBKP has written of the Dog's journey and his attempts to make amends for using, again what he called, "words that hurt".
* Civil Rights Pioneer To Mentor Dog
* Black Group BOND to Sponsor Toy Giveaway, Dog
* Dog the Bounty Hunter Gives Under-Privileged Kids $26,000 of Toys
* Rumors Rumble about Dog's Return

After Roy Innis, national chairman of CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) announced last week that he and others at CORE had met with Chapman and agreed to help mentor Dog, an article appeared at a website called "Newshounds".

An appearance with Sean Hannity, on Fox's Hannity & Colmes, the other night, ignited a reliable source of renewable energy: fake white liberal outrage. Hence, the Newhounds' article.

In the article, the author--"Ellen"--takes Roy Innis, a man who has battled police brutality and has lost 2 sons to criminal gun violence, to task for talking to the Dog. She also rakes Sean Hannity for "racism" or sympathizing with racists, or something.

White Supremacist Sympathizer Sean Hannity Helps Duane "Dog" Chapman Rehabilitate His Racist Image offered that "Hannity was helped out in that regard by the dubious “civil rights pioneer” Roy Innis and his son, Niger."

Interesting.

Ellen provides many services at "Newshounds". In the above article, she offers her opinion of Roy Innis,a man who battled real racist from the time he joined CORE's Harlem chapter in 1963.

That was almost 44 years ago, in which time, Innis tackled the NY state public school authorities to provide equality of funding for black schoolchildren in Harlem, as well as taking on the NYPD over the issue of police brutality.

Against this 44 years of toiling in the trenches for CORE and its causes, we place the words of "Ellen", of Newshounds.

We're not sure what "Ellen" has been doing the last 44 years. Who knows? Maybe she was battling the NYPD also. Maybe she was riding in buses meant only for whites.

Oh, sorry, Ellen.

Ellen offers another service besides her critique of black civil rights leaders.

She offers the service of "Watching Fox News, so you don't have to". That's the slogan at "Newshounds". Ellen watches, then ostensibly tells her readers what Fox News said, saving her readers the valuable time they may have spent thinking for themselves.

A third valuable service is provided by "Ellen". That service is the dispensing of faux white liberal moral outrage.

When we read her "outrage" at 'Newshounds' we were wondering what our friend Snoop, who runs Political Party Poop, thought. So we asked Snoop to take a look at Ellen's piece and let us know what he thought of it.

Now, anyone who has read PPP knows that asking Snoop his opinion is a somewhat risky thing, because when you ask, Snoop will tell you what he thinks.

You might not like what he says.

But we asked him and he agreed. When we first read what he'd written, we sat, transfixed by his analysis of Ellen's "outrage" at her targeted band of racists: Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman, Roy Innis and Sean Hannity.

This intro is a lot longer than we had planned, but Snoop's piece is powerful stuff.

Below are selected portions of Snoop's thoughts on Fake White Liberal Outrage. You'll have to head over to PPP and read the entire piece. We're gonna clue you in: you'll be glad you did.

Political Party Poop More Fake Liberal Outrage: The Rehabilitation of Duane "Dog" Chapman [excerpts] "The individual who hammered out this shining example of fake white liberal outrage, after posting this particular story, I bet felt vindicated in some way; proud and believing that by her shining a light on the disgraceful racist Dog Chapman and his racist support network (comprised of Sean Hannity and Roy Innis) we would no longer be fooled by the notion that this hateful racist can be rehabilitated and in particular that we would remain angry at the professional racist Hannity who provides safe sanctuary to racists everywhere. After all, she is sure that those of us on the right, and particularly networks like Fox, promote racist values." This hack sites tag line: “We watch FOX so you don’t have to.” Can you imagine anything as outrageous as a website devoted to telling you what to think about a given topic? "Anywho, Hannity and Innis in an attempt at rehabilitating Chapman’s image have obviously touched a nerve in the white liberal “protect a darkie” community. First of all - do I personally think the Dog Chapman is a racist? I’m not sure, maybe, but frankly I don’t give a shit." The “bring a Negro” home to mommy and daddy scenario is one that a growing number of families must struggle with. It was a struggle with Mrs. Snoop’s parents, her father in tears at the notion that his wonderful first born lawyer daughter would marry some rogue Negro. It drove the man to tears, and not tears of joy. I’m sure I was not the first and won’t be the last Negro introduced to skeptical white parents. "As for Chapman’s tirade on his son’s relationship, I never found his N-word rants as objectionable as most people seem to. Certainly if the majority of you white folks reading this particular piece were to have every private conversation scrutinized a great number of you would be guilty of what I would guess would be called racial insensitivity. I spent a lot of time out on the front steps of many homes upon my arrival because I was not allowed in many homes in my new neighborhood in Oakland amongst the lily white commune who believed that they insulated themselves from those unacceptable Negros that populated the city. These individuals were your typical white liberal types in the Bay Area that would proudly tell you that they gave their all in support of “black” causes. However, when it came to their families and personal lives they wanted to be as far away from these Negros as possible." Chris Rock said in a memorable stand up routine that “there are black folks and there are Niggas” and like him, I hate me some Niggas. I’m certain that I would find most of the “Niggers” that Chapman dealt with as contemptible as he obviously did, hence his ambivalence towards “some” black people. The individual who wrote the above article seems to take issue that anybody, particularly an individual like Roy Innis who was active in the civil rights movement, would so eagerly come to the Dog’s defense, not to mention that a “white supremacist sympathizer” like Sean Hannity would also come to his defense and try to make excuses for Dogs racist tirade. "Liberal racists, both white and black, focused on separatism and racial difference. Instead of subscribing to MLK’s belief in a color-blind society, they pushed for government policies that were color-coded. The further America progressed from the dark days of slavery, the more they insisted that slavery was present throughout America’s social institutions and its personal interrelationships. America was steeped in blood and guilt; it must pay for its crimes against Negros everywhere, so they are compelled to come to the rescue many times in the literary sense as did this Ellen character. These are the individuals who populate the majority of America’s newsrooms and comprise websites like Newshound and Media Matters. For me I took to heart at an early age Dr. King’s notion that people should be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin. Nevertheless, white liberal types have marginalized this notion as quaint and naive." Political Party Poop "Fake White Liberal Outrage: The Rehabilitation of Duane "Dog" Chapman

Whew!

The entire piece has to be read to be fully appreciated. Whether you are a fan of Dog the Bounty Hunter, of conservative or liberal persuasion, Snoop puts into writing what people of all colors have said to DBKP in their many emails to us.

Snoop just didn't mince any words.

And that's why we hope that this is not the last time we'll see him here. Snoop's also got a ton of hilarious pix and graphics at PPP.

And don't forget, he's the recipient of the "2006 Angry Negro Award" awarded by the White Liberal Hunters Society.

Lori Drew, Megan Had it Coming: MHIC Author a Troll?

[NOTE: DBKP has examined the 'Megan Had it Coming' Blog and its last post, dated December 3, "I'm Lori Drew". We don't know who is behind the blog--Lori Drew or Internet troll.

However, we've asked Trench Reynolds, who has covered MySpace crime for the last eight years, to give us his opinion.

He makes some good points. Some we agree with, others: we're not so sure. But, he makes several of his points so persuasively, we thought you readers should get a chance to see them and decide for yourselves.]

Hey everybody. My name is Trench Reynolds. Some of you may know me from my blogs about crime, TheTrenchcoat Chronicles and MyCrimeSpace. At the Chronicles I've been blogging since 2000 discussing school shootings and at MCS I talk about MySpace related crimes.

Mondoreb invited me to Death by 1,000 Papercuts (which is the greatest blog name ever) to express my thoughts on the Megan Meier story, specifically the 'Megan Had It Coming Blog'. As a lot of people have I've been following the story closely since it broke nationally. And just like most people I was horrified to read what happened to Megan Meier by people who were supposed to be adults.

When the identity of the Drews were made public by bloggers and commenters I decided that I would not post their names in hopes of not facilitating some kind of vigilante justice. Also I did not want to interfere with the investigation into whether or not criminal files would be charged.

It was after I made that post that someone posted a comment about 'MHIC'. It was also on that same post that someone by the name of 'ANONYMOUS' was leaving comments in defense of Lori Drew and was leaving comments similar to the posts on 'MHIC'.

I conferred with a blogging friend of mine who is a cybersecurity expert and we both agreed that ANONYMOUS and MHIC were the same person. Of course the Internet being what it is a lot of people automatically assumed that it must be Lori Drew without doing any investigation.

Now that's not a dig at DBKP because their own investigation seems to be thorough. However whenever a tragedy like this breaks there's always people willing to take advantage of the situation in order to get some attention. That's what I think is going on with MHIC.

Getting back to ANONYMOUS the e-mail address used to place the comments at MCS traced back to the MySpace of 16-year-old African-American girl from Michigan. It is possible that the address was a fake that coincidentally belonged to this girl's MySpace. However once I made that fact public the MySpace in question disappeared.

The second thing that leads me to believe that MHIC is a fake was the IP address of ANONYMOUS. Every time someone posts a comment at MCS I receive an e- mail that has their IP Address in it. IP addresses are used to trace back to someone's Internet Service Provider (ISP). Through this information I can usually ascertain the person's relative geographical location.

ANONYMOUS' ISP traced back to Louisville, KY which is roughly 260 miles from where the Drews and Meiers lived. IP addresses can be spoofed but if the person really wanted me to believe they were Lori Drew and had the knowledge on how to spoof IP addresses they probably would have made the address trace back to Missouri and not Kentucky.

Lastly, which may just be wishful thinking on my part, after everything that has be relayed in the media and on blogs I'd like to think that Lori Drew would not be that callous or stupid to entitle a blog 'Megan Had It Coming'.

Recently Lori Drew's lawyer said that she had nothing to do with the blog. Mondoreb himself poses the question if it's a hoax why is still up because of Google's imitation rules. My answer to that is I think it's not really a high priority for Google. Not only that if it was Lori Drew I think her lawyer would have advised her to take it down by now which can be done as easily as clicking on a button.

Since civil charges are likely against the Drews I think since the blog is still up that the odds are in favor of MHIC not being written by Lori Drew.

More than likely MHIC was posted by a group of people just looking for the attention and to see how many people they can get to fall for it. In the end I could be wrong but that would mean that Lori Drew is really that stupid and callous and if she is I weep for humanity.

So what do you think?

Is 'Megan Had It Coming' the work of Lori Drew?

Or an Internet troll?

Top Email News From the Past Year

Nigerian doctors, slashers under the car and rat poison on your envelope glue--just a sample of news you may have received in your email during the last year. Newspapers, telegrams, TV, cable, the Internet and emails are how people get their news. Many times, email news is of a special type.

[Top Email Forward News from the Past Year] at DBKP.com.

Paul Revere jumped on a horse to alert his fellow citizens. People now use emails to "spread the news". And what news it turns out to be.

We got an email from Vickie, the Goth chick, who used to be the barista at the coffee shop we frequented at one time. She apparently received it from someone who had received it from a guy in the U.K.

We're printing it because we've gotten several of the following emails sent to us over the last year. How many of the following stories have ended up in your email?

My thanks to all those who have sent me emails this year.

I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat sh*t in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.

Also, I now have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave them to a sick girl (Penny Brown)who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

Or from the senior bank clerk in Nigeria who wants me to split $7 million with me for pretending to be a long lost relative of a customer who died intestate.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day. Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca-Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy petrol without taking a man along to watch the car to prevent a serial killer won't crawl into the back seat when I'm filling up.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda,Singapore and Uzbekistan.

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my bum.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't even pick up the £5.00 I found dropped in the car park because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large seagull with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00pm next afternoon and the fleas from 12 mangy camels will infest your backside, causing you to grow a hairy lump.

I know this will occur, because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbour's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician.

By the way....a South American scientist, after a lengthy study, has discovered,that people with low IQ who have infrequent sexual activity,always read their e-mails with their hand on the mouse.

Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.

How did we ever live without the Internet?

Fake Hate Poster Inspires Fake Story,Then Fake Outrage

by Mondoreb

It all started when a American Muslim with a sense of humor put up fake "hate" posters at George Washington University as a form of satire.

Jihad Watch explains:
In "Islamo-Fascism on US Campus," IslamOnline (thanks to PRCS) reports about Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, and tells the Islamic world about the hateful posters that were put up at George Washington University.

It implies that these were authentic Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week posters, and of course doesn't mention the fact that a Muslim put them up as "satire."

Why let the truth get in the way of a good "Islamophobia" story? It never has before!

The fake posters sparked fake story by a Muslim, without a sense of humor, as explained

here:
CAIRO — University campuses across the United States are becoming the stage for an anti-Islam campaign that includes hate posters and a series of activities to rally students against the alleged threat Islam poses to the US and the world.

The story was picked up on the blogosphere.

The Wahhabi propaganda site IslamOnline has now picked up on the story of the fraudulent anti-posters at George Washington University—and conveniently leaves out the fact that the posters were fakes: Islamo-Fascism on US Campus.

I originally saw this story this morning, grabbed the poster picture and got distracted. I started on this post almost three hours ago and again, got distracted. In the meantime, this update appeared at LGF.

The Young America’s Foundation has posted some information on the phony “anti-Muslim” posters distributed at George Washington University, and you’re not going to believe the university administration’s response to this outrage: Radicals at The George Washington University Fake Young America’s Foundation Event to Suggest Incident of Hate.

So now we have the totally absurd story: a fake poster about fake hate sparking fake outrage which causes GWU officials to address fake concerns. All of this would be hilarious, except that a real organization doing real work for real conservatives feels the pain.
As always, while Liberals talk about "Feeling your pain" they quickly make sure that it's conservatives that suffer.
