On a recent trip to Europe, a family of three generations (a Holocaust survivor, his daughter and his grandchildren) dance to Gloria Gaynor's pop song - 'I Will Survive' at concentration camps and memorials throughout Europe.For a survivor and two of his next generations to dance at places where the Shoah took place is not a disrespect to the victims, instead it is an affirmation of life and survival that truly honors them and further denigrates the perpetrators.
This clip was first edited with the help of my friend Pisithpong Siraphisit who runs Compeung Art Village, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
This dance is a tribute to the tenacity of the human spirit and a celebration of life.
Despite the systematic brutality and cruelty endured, we have still survived.
Bombs strike World Cup watchers in Uganda, kill 64If so, it's an interesting move by the jihadis... hopefully it will prove to be a fatal choice.
"If Kaihura's suspicions that al-Shabab was responsible for the Uganda bombings prove true, it would be the first time the group has carried out attacks outside of Somalia." (emphasis added)
Kenya is a significantly stronger country than Ethiopia, so maybe they can finish the job Ethiopia started a few years back.
Think back to Tanzania's crushing of Idi Amin's regime after he stirred up trouble for several of his neighbors.Let's hope Kenya will smash Al-Shabab...
GO KENYA!!!
UPDATE: Kenyan forces, al Shabaab rebels clash on border
GO KENYA!!!
UPDATE 2: "US Warns sports fans in Kenya about possible terrorist attacks"
I told ya so! Kenya - Be ready and pounce HARD if the Jihadis hit there!!
"(S)ince January the Obama White House has been asserting that no one but 'news organizations' can use its Flickr photos taken by the official White House photographer, who is a US government employee.'"That's not legal, but no matter.
I'm not endorsing a brand for the sake of the brand, but you can easily write over this tape, whereas with regular "cellophane" tape, you cannot.
Imagine how a few rolls of Magic tape would help Cpl. Hausmann keep his diary in shape.
And imagine how it feels when a precious photo or letter gets torn over there.
Something else they really love - Ziplocs or other sealing plastic bags of all sizes. You can imagine how useful those are!

Rep. Brown indicated he supports the following principles concerning gun issues:YIKES! What is he - from Massachusetts or something?!Allow citizens to carry concealed guns. Require manufacturers to provide child-safety locks on guns. Require background checks on gun sales between private citizens at gun shows. Require a license for gun possession.

The US should give up its superpower ambitions and put itself on equal footing with other nations – otherwise, it will find itself at an impasse, believes American scholar Bill Ayers.
“The arrogance of shouting your opinion and unwillingness to hear anything in response is something that puts us in a parallel situation. It means we can’t grow, we can’t change,” he told RT.
“It has already created problems for the US and they are getting bigger. I think what we need is to break from that tradition of American foreign policy of the last sixty years or longer and really imagine ourselves entering into the world as a nation among nations – not as a superpower, not as police of the world. We need to enter into the conversation with respect – for ourselves, but also respect for others.”
Professor Ayers also responded to the criticism from talk show host Bill O’Reilly, who mocked his recent interview with RT.
“Bill O’Reilly is apparently unhappy about me, unhappy that I had something to say but he did not say anything about the content what I have said. That interview that we did had a lot of content. One of the things we talked about how a country like the United States with less than five per cent of the world’s population can kind of police the world and have a trillion dollar military budget,” Ayers said.
“So the media ought to have taken that content – not trying to scream or yell or make slogans about who’s saying what. But this is what Bill O’Reilly specializes in,” he added.
Obama did not just act, however. He acted ideologically. To his credit, Obama didn't just come to Washington to be someone. Like Reagan, he came to Washington to do something -- to introduce a powerful social democratic stream into America's deeply and historically individualist polity.Read it all here.
Perhaps Obama thought he'd been sent to the White House to do just that. If so, he vastly over-read his mandate. His own electoral success -- twinned with handy victories and large majorities in both houses of Congress -- was a referendum on his predecessor's governance and the post-Lehman financial collapse. It was not an endorsement of European-style social democracy.
Hence the resistance. Hence the fall. The system may not always work, but it does take its revenge.

GOA Ready to File Lawsuit in Massachusetts Race
Gun Owners of America News Release
For Immediate Release
Contact: Larry Pratt

Friday, January 15, 2009
SPRINGFIELD, VA -- The Executive Director of Gun Owners of America, a grassroots lobby with over 300,000 members, has instructed his attorneys to prepare for a lawsuit to force the Senate to seat Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown immediately should he, as seems increasingly likely, succeed in his January 19th bid for the Senate seat previously held by Ted Kennedy.
Recent polls showing Brown pulling even with anti-gun zealot Martha Coakley have led to threats by current placeholder Paul Kirk and Democratic operatives to block the will of the people of Massachusetts until the Senate has adopted the ObamaCare bill.
“The Senate has finally descended to a moral cesspool which would embarrass a Third World despot,” said Pratt. “But, if necessary, the Gun Owners Foundation will move to ensure that gun owners in Massachusetts and across the country are not victimized by this extreme exercise in vote fraud.”
Pratt has asked attorneys to examine 42 U.S.C. 1983 -– a civil rights statute which prohibits the denial of constitutional rights “under color of law.” Federal racketeering laws and other federal statutes are also on the table, said Pratt.
***********************************************************
Larry Pratt is the Executive Director of Gun Owners of America. GOA is located at 8001 Forbes Place, Springfield, VA 22151 and at http://www.gunowners.org on the web.
Either Larry Pratt or another GOA spokesman is available for press interviews.
