Daley won’t run in Chicago, opening way for Rahm Emanuel

WASHINGTON — Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley said Tuesday he won’t run for re-election, a move that almost certainly will prompt White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to head home to seek the job himself. Here’s the story.

Tea Party docs: ‘Self-serving’ AMA betraying physicians, patients

Radical Islam is world’s greatest threat – Tony Blair

He made the remark in a BBC interview marking the publication of his memoirs. Mr Blair said radical Islamists believed that whatever was done in the name of their cause was justified – including the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. Mr Blair, who led Britain into war in Afghanistan and Iraq, denied that his own policies had fueled radicalism.

I beg to differ. Not only Blair’s policies but his wife’s career “fueled” Islamic radicalism. Mrs. Blair (a/k/a Booth) has a legal practice described as . . . [S]pecialising in public law, human rights, employment and European Community law, arbitration and mediation.

The BBC has the story.

“Islamization” of France a Warning to the West

France’s Muslim population by some estimates is already 10%.  This article and video should give us all pause.  As the daily prayers of an increasing Muslim population spill illegally into the neighborhood streets, blocking traffic and interfering with other peoples’ lives, the inevitable backlash is beginning, and it may get ugly.

For trendy décor, the writing’s on the carpet

[Best to reposition liquids out of range of striking distance for this one.]

In redecorating the Oval Office, Barack Obama has chosen a carpet with slogans round the edge. One is: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” I’ve never quite understood that. Is a long arc good or bad? The source is a speech that Martin Luther King made on August 18, 1967. It was on the text: “Where do we go from here?”

Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) did a memorable skit in which he pondered this question. His immediate follow-on was, approximately, “And what are we going to do once we get there?” How Obamian!

Irma Kurtz in The Great American Bus Ride, her alarming book about travelling by public transport, identifies messages on T-shirts as symptoms of a national neurosis. Now it has got into the White House.

Bwahahahahaha!

Christopher Howse writes this very well done snark (is that a word? It is now) in the Telegraph.

I think I adore Mr. Howse, if only for his last para:

It could have been worse. There are mugs for sale online saying: “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt – Abraham Lincoln”, though it doesn’t sound like Lincoln to me. Perhaps Mr Obama has it on his tooth-mug.

ROTF!
