Another Growl From The Den….....

Actually, a continuation of MommaBear’s almost continuous growl about that idiotic “Homeland [IN]Security” as implemented. “Shining” examples of ineptitude, stupidity, and bureaucratic bungling, accompanied by political “correctness” and “power-grabbing” in equal measure, are now far too numerous for her to keep count. [ed. – she ran out of claws on her paws!]

Here’s one that really set her teeth ajar, as it also includes being quite insulting to our good neighbors to the North, courtesy of Damian Penny at Daimnation, who had his own commentary, of course. Canada and Canadians deserve better!!

Shoggoth.net has just published the latest tale from the life of the Sage of Wales called Tartan Tantrum. This is the first part of what is expected to be a two-part story. Its not just Wales and New England that have their share of “fishy” people; it seems Dagon’s minions have web-footholds in Scotland as well.

Well, the reports are in on this week’s trawl of the blogging ecosystem. You will all be pleased to know that we are rising up both charts. DtD is working its way up the long greasy pole of success as well, slowly but surely.

Dennis Sewell has just had his most recent book released in paperpack. His book, called Catholics, examines the Roman Catholic experience in Britain. It is well written and accessible, as is common to Sewell’s work. An excellent book that I would recommend to all, whether Catholic or not.

Very interesting piece on Foreign Aid by someone who has been there. As I have said, both on this blog and in others’ comments sections, most of it is a waste of money and this piece reinforces my attitude. I think Hernando de Soto has the right ideas on how to help the third world. He believes one needs to educate them in the basics of how to get things working and let them get on with it.

MEMRI has a very disturbing piece from an “Arab-American”. This piece of excrement claims Osama Bin Laden as his hero and proceeds to praise his efforts. Why do Americans let scum like this stay in the country? Normally, I am not one for violence, but I hope someone who lost a loved-one on 9/11 finds this guy and beats this man to death. Surely this would be his punishment for his traitorous outbursts if he were in a Taliban controlled Afganistan?
