Sting Operation

Some Mexican police officers were the victims of a sting operation in southeastern Mexico. Seventy officers were injured, three seriously, when their taget practice was interrupted by a swarm of Africanized bees. The bees, popularly known as killer bees, drove the officers from the firing range.

"From the first shot (on the firing range), there was a loud buzzing noise and tons of bees began to appear, attacking everyone in sight," said civil guard official Miguel Serrano.

The barrage took place in the town of Tapachula, where the bees' aggressive reaction forced the police to seek refuge in their own training headquarters, with many suffering stings all over their bodies.

Three female officers were severely hurt and required hospitalization.  From now on, a very large can of wasp and bee killer is going to be standard equipment in my range bag. One can never be too careful.

Freedom Of Speech: It’s Good For Canadians Too

It is call to action time for anyone interested in liberal democratic values.  From Five Feet of Fury:   Richard Warman suing conservative bloggers — including me

Richard "The Boy Named Sue" Warman has finally filed his statement of claim.

Canada's busiest litigant, serial "human rights" complainant and — the guy Mark Steyn has called "Canada’s most sensitive man" — Richard Warman is now suing his most vocal critics — including me.

The suit names:

•    Ezra Levant (famous for his stirring YouTube video of his confrontation with the Canadian Human Rights tribunal after he published the “Mohammed Cartoons”)
•    FreeDominion.ca (Canada’s answer to FreeRepublic.com)
•    Kate McMillan of SmallDeadAnimals.com
•    Jonathan Kay of the National Post daily newspaper and its in-house blog
•    and me, Kathy Shaidle of FiveFeetOfFury.com

Richard Warman used to work for the notorious Human Rights Commission, which runs the "kangaroo courts" who’ve charged Mark Steyn with "flagrant Islamophobia."

Richard Warman has brought almost half these cases single-handledly, getting websites he doesn’t like shut down, and making tens of thousands of tax free dollars in "compensation" out of web site owners who can’t afford to fight back or don’t even realize they can.

The province of British Columbia had to pass a special law to stop Richard Warman from suing libraries because they carried books he didn't approve of.

Richard Warman also wants to ban international websites he doesn’t like from being seen by Canadians.

The folks named in his new law suit are the very bloggers who have been most outspoken in their criticism of Warman’s methods.

We can only fight this man’s attempt to silence conservative opinion if we have international support: both moral and financial.

This lawsuit will cost me at least $30,000 to fight.

And fight it I will.

And I, for one, will try to help as I can.  Although I have to believe in the basic common decency of a people that would make the game of hockey their national obsession.  After all it is a game built upon the basic fact that a knockdown drag out fight is PART of the game, exactly the same way political speech that hurts someone's little feelings is part of the game.  You get banged up a little in hockey you get right back out there because, hey, you're a hockey player.  Its the same in the political arena.  It's time to remind the Warman's of the world of this.

Anti-Semitic Rant Hosted By Official Obama Website

My headline sounds like pure hyperbole.  Unfortunately it's true.

Obamanism is the cure for Clintonitis that has devastated America and I hope Jews all over US rally around Obama and support him to win both the nomination and the Presidency because after he wins, he would help the Jews and Israel as well as settle the Middle East problems.

However, if Jews betray Obama and he loses, Africans worldwide would consider it a betrayal to the whole African people and will never forgive world Jewry.

In retaliation, (eye for eye, remember!) Africa would consider expelling all Jews from Africa who have been mining African Gold and Diamond and enriching themselves for many centuries.

It was African gold and diamond that built international finance, trade and banking that the Jews (Rothschild, Warbug, Rockefeller and others) dominate.

It was African gold and diamond that built Jewish banks and wealth worldwide.

The Obama campaign has since removed this hate-filled screed, but did so without comment and after it had been up for over a month.  Only when the Right-o-Sphere blogs noticed did they discover a conscience.

The simple removal of the offending material is not enough.  In fact it falls pitifully short.  It is incumbent upon the Obama campaign to either,

A) Show this was the work of someone who hacked the Obama website.  Hell, even blame the Clinton campaign as long as you can prove it.  Or,

B) Publicly expose who the writer of this material is, and disavow, disapprove, and denounce them.  Oh and fire them outright if they are drawing a salary.

Ignoring this will be tantamount to approval of it.

Down With Dogs

Fox News is reporting that former President Jimmy Carter is set to meet with leaders of Hamas, an organization officially named as a terrorist organization by the US government.

The Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Tuesday that Carter was planning a trip to Syria for mid-April, during which he would meet with Khaled Meshal, the exiled head of the Palestinian terror group Hamas, on April 18.

Deanna Congileo, Carter’s press secretary, confirmed in an e-mail to FOXNews.com that Carter will be in the Mideast in April. Pressed for comment, Congileo did not deny that the former president is considering visiting Meshal.

“President Carter is planning a trip to the Mideast next week; however, we are still confirming details of the trip and will issue a press release by the end of this week,” wrote Congileo. “I cannot confirm any specific meetings at this point in time.”

I have no idea what Federal laws cover this, but if Carter does this and it violates a law, he should be charged with it. Even for Carter, this is a bridge too far, so to speak. Lending the prestige of his former office to a group like Hamas is disgusting even if it isn't illegal (which I suspect it must be).

But at this point, I'm not even sure who will get the worse case of flea infestation if such a meeting occurs. It would certainly hand the Republicans a handy club to beat the Democrats with in November.

April 9

On this day in 1865, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under command of Robert E. Lee surrendered. The surrender took place at the home of Wilmer and Virginia McLean in Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia. Union commander Ulysses S. Grant refused to change the written terms of the agreement he offered to Lee, but verbally allowed a change that let the men under Lee's command claim a horse or mule from the Confederate Army to take home with them. The full correspondence between the two men can be read here.

Seventy-seven years later, another, different surrender occurred. American forces defending the Bataan Peninsula in the Philippines surrendered on April 9, 1942. The surrendered forces were then marched out under brutal conditions. Japanese general Homma was executed in 1946 over what is now known as the Bataan Death March.
