The Liebarak: A Two-headed Monster

Posted: 24 Jan 2010 12:52 AM PST

The business is registered in the name of Binyamin Netanyahu. But the reality is different.

Netanyahu has never been more than a slick patent medicine salesman. That is a type that appears frequently in American Westerns and sells an elixir that is good for everything: against the flu and against tuberculosis, against heart attacks and against lunacy. The main weapon of the vendor is his tongue: his stream of words builds castles in the air, blows up glistening bubbles and silences all doubt.

Haitian Refugees Flood White Nations

Posted: 23 Jan 2010 09:01 PM PST

Once again, a natural disaster in the Third World looks like it will result in a wave of refugees into White nations. Seems like White liberals think the best way to solve Third World problems is to bring the Third Worlders here.

An NBC article reports: "Some of Haiti's most fragile – its children – have arrived at Miami area hospitals and for a few, Miami may become their new home. So far, 23 patients from the earthquake have been treated at Jackson Memorial Hospital, with countless more likely to be airlifted from the island for treatment. Florida Sen. Bill Nelson (Democrat, of course) has contacted all the children's hospitals in Florida and requested that they receive critically injured Haitian children in the aftermath of the earthquake. Nelson on Friday said he also plans to introduce a 'major Haitian relief bill.' But the injured won't likely be the only children coming to Florida. 'Operation Pierre Pan,' as its being called, is an effort to relocate the thousands of children likely orphaned by the natural disaster in Port-au-Prince. Many of the children could already have relatives in Miami and around the U.S."

Time for George Mitchell to resign

Posted: 23 Jan 2010 09:00 PM PST

He was an effective mediator of the conflict in Northern Ireland, helped shepherd the Disney Corporation through a turbulent period, and led an effective investigation of the steroids scandal afflicting major league baseball. Nobody can expect to be universally admired in the United States, but Mitchell may have come as close as any politician in recent memory.
