There is a Yemeni journalist named Abdulkarim al-Khaiwani who is well respected in Yemen for his pro-democracy views. Well, he's not so respected by the thugs in charge of Yemen, they're putting him on trial, and may give him the death penalty. So there's a petition going around online to try and pressure the Yemeni government to back down. I doubt it'll have an impact on those monsters, but maybe it'll get our own State Department to do its one good deed this year. You can drop by CB's, MyVRWC and the Jawas for more information and where to sign the petition.

Islamic clerics in Iran tell Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to chill with the Mahdi rhetoric.

The death of mystique in entertainment.

Show me the money!

So wrong...some perv must have looked at a Play-Doh fun set and thought, A-ha!

Interesting project started up by Jon Henke, Patrick Ruffini and Soren Dayton to develop a sort of conservative activist portal. I do think this is needed, I think what it needs to do is figure out how to bridge the gap between nationally focused sites, locally focused ones and try and connect them with actual people.

There are smart solutions to address our energy needs, they just aren't happening.

Wow...

Heh.

The worthless House GOP are worried about double digit losses this year, the worthless Senate GOP is less worried, now that Al Franken is self-destructing.

"Ha-Ha! Yes, is funny...know what else is funny? You dangling from a rope! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Take him away!"

Joey Vento is a good guy, he's donating all of his profits to the memorial fund of the Philly officer who was killed by those bank robbers. Speaking of which, they caught another one of the vermin. I think Vento started the whole give a day's profit to charity after 9/11, but I could be wrong.

I agree, Lake County ought to be looked at with more scrutiny then it has been getting, and I don't think it'll happen because the media is so clearly in Obama's corner, they aren't going to press the point.

Funneh. The Bar Slaves have fun goofing on a black supremacist.

FAIL

Lemur King has a fun roundup, from USB Foreman grills to men in drag.

1 Joey Vento is a terrific guy. he does a lot for us and the fire department. And, considering how much he takes in in one day, the Liczbinski family will be well taken care of.

2 Yeah, that place is a well-oiled machine, its amazing how much business they do, and I'm guessing they do even more on a charity day.

5 It was fun screwing with that guy. There is just something absolutely hilarious about someone that completely and seriously agrees with points that you make that where made to make him look like a douch nozzle.

6 (Letter to you from Karim al-Khaiwani, Jane) Thank you very much for this campaign, which comes in the context of the overall values that we believe, and they punish us when we believe those values and adopt them. I do not want to talk about myself, but rather the environment that we live in and suffering we endure from the inconsistency between what the authorities announce about democracy and freedoms, and what happens when we believe in those same things, democracy and freedoms. They want us to practice our rights as they understand them, but we do it ideally. The regime said that democracy is the way of ruling, but when we try to practice our rights within this concept, criticizing the way that the regime governs and how they act, then they deal with us in a way that has no relation to democracy. They deal with us as outlaws. They use all of the state's resources to attack anyone who has any opinions not corresponding with their opinions, and to attack those who even discuss their way of ruling. What I am suffering and facing is part of the price I and many others pay for the democracy and freedom we hope to achieve in the future. At least we are preparing for a healthy environment that we want the next generation to live in. We believe that democracy and freedom have an expensive price, and this is a part of that price. However that doesn't mean we will keep silent and bend, as it is the price. We will refuse injustice peacefully. Solidarity is a way to enhance new civil values which support the democracy we will make with our sacrifice and with the support of others. We pay the price of the freedom for ourselves and for the generations after us. Again, thank you very much for your help and support. Abdelkarim al-Khaiwani 10/5/08 Sana'a, Yemen (link to one click letter campaign: http://campaigns.aicongress.org/yemen/ )

In dark sky, you can hand a <a href="http://www.laserto.com/" title="laser pointer">laser pointer</a>.It is quite a mysterious thing to see the laser beam of <a href="http://www.highlasers.com/" title="green laser pointer">green laser pointer</a>pointing directly into sky. Will you want a laser pointer?
