Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated in Pakistan. I will be returning to Jihad Watch comments a little more over the next and future days, starting today; something I have let slide for many weeks. I’m beyond outraged with the state of this world. I think it’s time to start barking louder and I might as well get back to my roots to do it.
Here’s a taste of my sentiments this morning.
I still can’t bring myself to endorse any of the current U.S. Presidential candidates. This doesn’t really surprise me; the choices available are fairly equal to one another depending on how you view them through the political prism. On one hand we have a power-hungry feminist Senator from New York, and on the other, a legal-savvy in-fighter from New York City. On one hand we have the tall gravitas of a seasoned Republican actor, and on the other, the lanky charm of a spirited Democratic newcomer. And that’s just the front line.
I’m almost out of breath trying to read all the news that’s surging across the globe right now, fueled on by the Islamic hordes of “peaceful” Muslims. So, instead of writing some long-winded editorial today, why don’t I just make use of the news tools I have available and list some of the headlines that I believe you should be reading first.
Ready, set, go!

A video pointed out by Eye On The World should get your attention.
Baron Bodissey and the crew at Gates of Vienna blog have declared their project the Counterjihad Calendar for 2008 is done. You can buy your own copy of the calendar from the Gates of Vienna storefront or directly at this link.
The purpose of the calendar is twofold:
1. To enhance a sense of community among the inhabitants of the countries of the West. We can show solidarity with one another even as we remain nationalists within our own countries. The West doesn’t require an artificial and corrupt empire like the EU or the UN to maintain its collective identity. There is something that binds us together, a common heritage that enables us to resist Islamization.
I have to wonder if members of the U.S. Congress or President Bush ever receive reports like this in their daily briefings. The myth of “Islamic tolerance” lives on despite all the evidence to the contrary. I am not blind. From Mission Network News:
Gaza (MNN) ― Gaza’s minority Christian community was badly shaken over the weekend after the director of the Christian Bookstore run by the Bible Society was found beaten, stabbed and shot to death. Rami Ayyad was 29 years old and an active member of the Gaza Baptist Church.
The following article written by Abbey Fenbert, The fear of footbaths: It’s not exactly jihad, caught my eye this morning. The NYU student makes some pretty amusing statements. Well, amusing to me because I’m the jaded infidel, probably sad for most of you. Let’s have a look:
The Muslims are coming. They have footbaths. RUN!!!
WSN’s Sept. 24 article, “Muslims lacking a place to cleanse,” pointed out that footbaths might be a better option than the Bobst sinks for Islamic students washing their feet in observance of Salah, the daily prayer ritual. This provoked passionate debate in the online article comments, with many readers posting responses best described as bat-shit crazy.
