Islam in the crosshairs

This is the kind of stuff that makes me sick. A Somali man attempts to murder a cartoonist who draws the Islamic prophet Mohammad and the charge can't just be attempted murder, it has to be terrorism as well. "Phtew," that is the sound of me spitting on this prosecutor. Thanks to this person's zeal to heap as many charges on some crazy religious radical as possible we can now rest assured that there is no such thing as equal justice for Muslims. The Muslim attempted to murder the cartoonist. That's what it was! But nope, the prosecutor wants to further his career at the expense of justice, so the charge is terrorism.

I see this as wrong on two levels. First, I am sick and tired off prosecutors using the law, and the lives of men and women as tools to further their careers. What is with them throwing every charge imaginable at a man to try and see if they can make one stick? In my opinion this is nothing but sheer malice towards the citizenry they are supposed to serve, and the kind of callous disregard for human life and liberty that they are supposed to be preventing, NOT PROMOTING!

Second, why did the Danish cartoonist have to do his damnest to blaspheme the Muslim religion? Look, I'm all for defending free speech, and yes, this man has the right to draw whatever cartoon he wants. But knowing that this is the most disrespectful thing he can do to Islam, and still doing it, shows that this man is intentionally antagonizing Muslims. Get a life Danish cartoonists! There are better, less disrespectful ways to get your point across than drawing a cartoon of a religion's holiest prophet with a bomb on his head in the shape of a Turbin. And when you Blaspheme someone's messiah, don't be surprised when the craziest guy in the club tries to kill you. You brought it upon yourself.

So, just remember people. Justice has nothing to do with fairness or equality. And if you're Muslim, now would be a good time to watch your step. Big brother is watching you closer than ever.

Another good coach covers up another poor Big 12 coaching decision

Tommy Tuberville is a great hire for Texas Tech. Though he's not the equal of the man the school just fired due to his chilly relationship with the athletic department, Tuberville will probably keep Tech nationally relevant for at least a couple of years.

The problem is, Texas Tech isn't the kind of school that will allow Tuberville to recruit the kind of athletes it's going to take to line up and play winning smash mouth football in the Big 12. Tech will almost certainly trend away from the explosive finesse offensive attack that Mike Leach pioneered under Tuberville's stewardship, and that's too bad for Texas Tech. Expect Tech to eventually be relegated to it's familiar role as perennial cellar dweller within five years. It's sad to watch a program that redefined offence in college football implode like Texas Tech has, but, such is the grand circle of life. Here's ESPN's take on it.

Take a good look, this is the problem.

No virgins for you!

Terrorists in Afghanistan could be the new favorites to win this years Darwin award. Here's the story on how they shot their metaphorical wad too soon and blew themselves up. Praise be to Allah!

Isn't it about time that the world moved out of the counter-reformation?

The gay marriage debate in America is really getting stale. The United States of America is supposed to be the land of the free and yet, gays are not free to get married. I thought this graphic from The Atlantic was extremely telling. Apparently American's would rather have marriages that produce children with webbed feet than marriages between same-sex couples.

Nebraska blessed by the cruelty of Big 12 coaches

Huzzah! Nebraska fans rejoice! Yet another coach has been fired for being tough on his players! First Mark Mangino and now Mike Leech, The Big 12 is just getting sweeter and sweeter for a resurgent Cornhusker squad that now has two fewer power house coaches to deal with in the conference.


I have to say thank you to the politically correct snuggle bunnies for making this possible. Without you softies Nebraska would have to face two more tough in conference opponents every year. It's too bad Turner Gill had to go to Kansas, since he's a decent coach. But he'll have some big shoes (and pants) to fill at Kansas. Mangino took Kansas from being a perenial dud to respectability during his tenure, and it's going to be difficult for Gill to keep kansas from sinking back to to the dregs. Good look Turner, you will fucking need it.

College football may be getting a lot softer, but I give not two shits. Nebraska's road back to the top just got a whole lot easier, and it had nothing to do with rising superstar coach Bo Pelini. If you read this and can find in in Lincoln tonight while I watch the Holiday bowl tonight, drinks are on me. Anonymity has its perks.

Thank you God

In my youth, while being forced to attend church, I often fantasized of a drunken hobo coming in and spicing up the service with some good ol' fashioned caroling. Bob Dillion has re-affirmed my faith in God, and, if he came into my church dressed in a raggedy army jacket and starting singing "Silver Bells," I would give him a twenty.


This album is frighting to behold, all I've heard are these clips and I can safely say this is the most amazing train wreck I have ever seen. That said, it beats the hell out of the rest of the mind numbing Christmas ass music we are subjected to when this time of year comes around. I can only pray that one day Dillon and Marylin Manson can band together for a follow up album.
