Bull Charges Spectators

A 503kg bull named Pajarito – "Little Birdy" – jumped into the grandstands during a Mexico City bullfight, injuring several spectators before it was killed.





Television images showed the bull jumping from the ring into the stands on Sunday, landing on spectators who tried to scatter as the animal rampaged through the aisles.

Eventually, one of the bullfight participants, the banderillero, crawled up into the stands and stabbed the bull to death.

At least two people were taken to hospital. The bullfight resumed 30 minutes after the incident, which occurred during the second fight of the day during one of Mexico City's most popular weekend sporting events.

Hamas Suggests Using "Militants" (Terrorists) In Army

The leader of Hamas suggested Saturday that the Islamic group could create a Palestinian army that would include its militant wing - responsible for scores of deadly attacks on Israelis - in the aftermath of its crushing victory in parliamentary elections.

I guess giving up all of that land to the "Peace Loving" Palestinians paid off.

The Hamas chief, Khaled Mashaal, reiterated that Hamas would not recognize Israel and indicated attacks on Israeli civilians would continue as long as Israel continued to target Palestinian civilians. "As long as we are under occupation then resistance is our right," he said.

I am not aware of Israel ever having deliberately targeting civilians. Ever.
Hamas does on almost a daily basis. They are terrorists.

Speaking from his base in Damascus, Syria, Mashaal insisted his group would not disarm and said Hamas' military wing, estimated at nearly 5,000 gunmen in Gaza alone, could be merged into a Palestinian army.
"We are ready to unify the weapons of Palestinian factions, with Palestinian consensus, and form an army like any independent state," he said.

On December 9, 2005, Mashaal addressed a crowd in Damascus, Syria on the informal truce with the government of Israel that ends at the end of the year, stating that, "We will not enter a new truce and our people are preparing for a new round of conflict." The animal has never wanted peace. He is a warmonger and a terrorist. He's hiding in Damascus because he knows Mossad will kill him at the first opportunity, as well they should.

"If Hamas wants to be considered a partner in peace, it's very clear what it has to do. It has to renounce terrorism, disarm, accept Israel's right to exist and support political solutions to issues rather than pursuing violent jihad," Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said.

But they won't. Why would they ? Terrorism gained them land and the parliament.

Mashaal also said Hamas would abide by existing agreements with the country "as long as it is in the interest of our people."

In this madman's view, anything that benfits Israel is not in the interest of his people. As such, all agreements are null and void.

Israeli officials have said repeatedly that they would not deal with Hamas, and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Israel would not rule out targeted killings against Hamas leaders if they attack Israel. Israeli airstrikes in 2004 killed Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and his successor Abdel Aziz Rantisi.
"Whoever stands at the head of a terror organization and continues to carry out terror attacks against Israel is not immune," Mofaz told Israel's Channel 2 television.

As it should be.

"We are now no longer part of the cease-fire," an Al Aqsa gunman, Nasser Haras, told the crowd, referring to a year-old truce with Israel.

There you have it.

President Bush told "CBS Evening News" on Friday that the United States would cut aid to the Palestinian government unless Hamas, which the U.S. lists as a terror group, abolishes its militant wing and stops calling for Israel's destruction.

As we should.

Speaking at the World Forum in Davos, Switzerland, former President Clinton suggested Saturday that the West should be more open to eventual talks with Hamas.

Clinton, as always, fails to have a clue.

The Hilderbeast Shows Her True Color

Sen. Hillary Clinton yesterday backed a rebel band of Senate Dems seeking to filibuster a vote on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Samuel Alito.

She's been trying to paint herself as a centrist the past year, but in calling for the filibuster, she's shown herself as what she is. A rabid Liberal.

Clinton said, "I oppose his nomination and support efforts to block his confirmation." "I do not think Judge Alito would advance the principles Americans hold most dear," she said

What principles would those be Hillary ?
Would you care to enumerate them for us ?
Could it be the "principle" that someone has the "right" to murder one's child ? Interesting that the Liberals always spout off that the majority of Americans support abortion, but refuse to let Americans vote on it. Why is that do you think ?

Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) have pushed for a filibuster

So she's decided to side with the two most liberal Senators. Good for her. We can use that in the 2008 Presidential Election.

Israel To HAMAS: "You shall not pass."

A high-ranking Israeli Defense Ministry member said they will not allow elected HAMAS members to freely pass between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

Foreign Minister Amos Gilad told Israeli radio they will not allow free entries to the murderer and terror organization representatives who want to destroy Israel. "Show me a country that will allow this," Gilad lashed out.

Amos Gilad Expects Hamas to Continue Terror After Joining PA Gov’t

Of course they'll continue terrorism, look where it's got them. They have more territory and they won the elections.

Palestinian Psychopathy

Palestinians are insane.
What other explanation can there be for a people that would elect a terrorist organization to Parliament ?
The so-called "peace process" has been totally exposed for the sham it is.
Israel gives them territory and the lunatics vote for terrorists.

Lesson: Never appease Muhammadans, never appease Terrorists, they'll always see it as a sign of weakness and betray you.

Global Warming Dumps Snow On Hawaii

Officials closed the summit of Hawaii's Mauna Kea volcano to the public after a snowstorm shut down access for the first time this winter season.

Clouds blanketed Hawaii's tallest peak this weekend. A blanket of snow forced everyone to evacuate, including park rangers.

Could Liberlism Be Defeated In Canada ?

Canadian political leaders on Sunday made one last cross-country dash on the eve of an election expected to oust the ruling Liberals, move Canada to the right and improve ties with the United States.

"After 13 years and four failed mandates, the era of Liberal arrogance is ending," local candidate Michael Smith told a Winnipeg rally as he introduced Conservative leader Stephen Harper, who made stops in Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia on Sunday.

Actually, Liberals will always be arrogant, whether they're in power or not.

Some polls suggest the Liberals will get their lowest percentage of votes in any election since independence in 1867, even lower than the 28 percent they collected in 1984.

This would be a good thing, first Germany, now Canada. Who's next ? France ?

It's about time they canceled that POS. I mean really, Alan Alda as a Republican ?
Good riddance.

Global Warming Is Racist

"When you look at the trends and put them all together, it's undisputable that the sea levels are rising," says Ansje Miller, director of the Environmental Justice and Climate Change Initiative (EJCC). "Warmer seas mean more intense hurricanes. You're going to have intense flooding like we have never seen before."

Undisputable ? These idiots have yet to actually provide any proof that sea levels are rising. It would seem to be a pretty easy thing to prove if it was actually happening.

That's bad news, especially for African Americans. Citing Katrina as a case-in-point, some environmentalists say global warming impacts minorities and the disadvantaged harder than other groups. If global warming gets worse, many African-American communities will be more vulnerable to breathing ailments, insect-carried diseases and heat-related illness and death. But asking Black folks to give up gas-guzzling SUV's and other bling is a tough sell.

"It has been ingrained in our heads that to be anything, you must have everything," says EJCC steering committee member Nia Robinson. "Because some of us have a big car and a nice house, people aren't seeing that racism still exists. But Katrina showed that racism is alive and well in America. Now that people have that idea, I think we're in a really critical stage to organize, educate and mobilize people."

Only kooks believe that Katrina and it's aftermath had anything to do with racism.

Relatively, Blacks are environmental Good Samaritans. Per capita, we emit approximately 20 percent less carbon dioxide than Whites well below 2020 targets set by the U.S. Climate Stewardship Act. Not only do we use more energy-conserving public transportation, we spend considerably less per capita on energy-intensive material goods.

Yet Blacks are exposed to worse air pollution than Whites in every major metropolitan area. Some charge that the Bush administration has made matters worse by creating new policies, like the Clear Skies Act and the Healthy Forest Initiative, that allow utilities and industries to pollute more. President Bush enraged environmentalists when he opted out of the Kyoto protocol global warming treaty, saying it would harm the U.S. economy.

But they give a pass to Clinton who was also against Kyoto and they totaly ignore the fact that congress must approve any treaty before the President can do anything.

Critics say the result of these policies could be catastrophic. "By mid-century, we're looking at the entire Antarctic ice shelf melting," Miller says. "That could send warmer water throughout which will have a freezing effect in the Northern European countries. We're already looking at a number of low-lying areas being completely submerged by sea-level rise. It's kind of scary."

It's kinda scary that someone would be stupid enough to believe that nonsense.

Cy

A photo of a one-eyed kitten named Cy drew more than a little skepticism when it turned up on various Web sites, but medical authorities have a name for the bizarre condition.

"Holoprosencephaly" causes facial deformities, according to the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health. In the worst cases, a single eye is located where the nose should be, according to the institute's Web site.

Traci Allen says the kitten she named Cy, short for Cyclops, was born the night of Dec. 28 with the single eye and no nose.

"You don't expect to see something like that," the 35-year-old Allen said by telephone from her home in Redmond in central Oregon.

Allen said she stayed up all night with the deformed kitten on her recliner, feeding Cy a liquid formula through a syringe. She says she cared for the kitten the next day as well, until it died that evening.

Allen said she's keeping the cat's corpse in her freezer for now, in case scientists would like it for research (or for a tasty late night snack).

She said one thing's for certain: "I'm not going to put it on eBay."

Global Warming Dumps 13 Feet Of Snow On Japan !

Japan was bracing for more snow on Friday after some of the heaviest snowfall on record that has left 57 people dead and paralysed transport.

Almost 4 metres (13 ft) of snow has piled up in the worst-hit areas of Niigata near the Japan Sea coast, though the snowiest season of the year is yet to come.

Television pictures showed drifts burying the ground floors of houses and almost covering street lamps.
