Assortment

1) Jimmy Carter – shill for Palestinian “statehood” and carnival barker for America’s enemies everywhere – thinks that avoiding the war in Gaza would have been as easy as falling off a sack of peanuts - if only it hadn’t been for them damn juice.

2) Friend and commenter Mikael of Turban Bomb reveals yet another example of the success of Muslim assimilation in Europe.

3) Exurban League explains, via simple cartoon, the basis of climate-change hysteria.

4) Tim Blair links to what may well be the most dishonest and/or idiotic (no reason it can’t be both) article on Cuba that I’ve seen in a long time. Blair commenter DavidNcl suggests that Richard Gott may have had some dalliances with the KGB, and – well, whaddaya know! - that does appear to be the case. Not on their payroll, of course; just traveling to meet with them on their dime, without informing his employer. Mm-hm. Sounds pretty above-board to me.

5) John McCain’s defeat is starting to look more and more like a narrow escape.

6)


What’s da name a’ dat punk what ain’t lettin’ Roland Burris take his senate seat? Reid, ya say? Harry Reid? What? Nah, no special reason. Just curious. Say, youse ain’t got his address, do yez?

Jimmy Carter was bought and paid for by the Arabs years ago. Why anybody would possibly want to listen to a thing he has to say is beyond me.

Swampie: Nobody should listen to him, but it is vital that he be ridiculed as frequently as possible. BTW, this picture at Gateway Pundit of Carter is my favorite. It looks like he just farted in church.

PBS did a documentary on Air Force One, once.

One of the big pieces was Reagan letting Carter use AF1 to fly to Ramstein and meet the released Iranian Embassy hostages.

They capped the anecdote of a still of Carter sitting in Air Force one. A nastier, more bitter, more resentful face you will never see.

TW: irthne-- Sennaduh Reid, y'ain't gonna quit givin' Rollie a hard time? Youse wants we should start onna fingers, irthne?"

Everyone says it's complex in the Mid East. Perhaps so. But really, all the Palestinians ever had to do was stop firing rockets into Israel every single day. Hamas has brought this upon themselves and the Palestinian citizens have done so also by voting in that mob. I have little sympathy for either.

Paco, I lift my hat and humbly bow my head in a thank you for linking to me.

Speaking of Carter, I remember his presidency - brr, not a nice time, not even here in Europe.

I think it was Mad Magazine that really nailed it at the time: "Carter succeeds: Dollar finally worth peanuts!"

Not the best legacy for a former Prez if you ask me.

John Doe: Glad you liked it! I do bits from time to time when the subject is Chicago politics or politicians, and I put up these pictures of gangsters. That particular photo, incidentally, is of Albert "Tick-Tock" Tannenbaum, one of Murder, Inc.'s gunmen.

Mikael: Glad to oblige! I just wish you'd post more often.

Jimmy Carter is the Funny Uncle (or Crazy Aunt) of America. If Rosalynn had any mercy in her at all, she'd lock him in the attic to save him from disgracing himself (and shaming us) any further.
