Hot, or Not? The three are the first defendants in Britain to be convicted of inciting terrorist murder on the internet. They waged cyber-jihad on websites run from their bedrooms. Tsouli promoted the ideology of Osama bin Laden via email and radical websites. He said in one message he was “very happy” about the July 7 bombings in London in 2005. Tsouli, along with Tariq Daour, a biochemistry student, and

Best Headline–Evah! [Dan Collins]
HERO CABBIE: I KICKED BURNING TERRORIST SO HARD IN BALLS THAT I TORE A TENDON “He didn’t even flinch. I couldn’t believe he didn’t go down.” I think the lesson here is that before you smeat a jihadi flambe in the melting brass cojones, stretch. UPDATE: Dammit, some guy calling himself Instapundit said pretty much the same thing about the headline, yesterday.
Al Gore's Son Busted for Speeding & Possession [Dan Collins]
At least the Prius he was driving 100 mph was what they call a “hydroponic” vehicle. And it’s not as though the drugs he was caught with were non-natural, except for the Valium, Xanax, Vicodin, Adderall and Soma, for which he lacked prescriptions. I’m not sure what kind of mileage a Prius gets when it’s going 100 mph, though, so that’s kind of serious. Unlike certain partisans who would like
"Memorial to SEAL to be dedicated today"
For your 4th of July pleasure: While many people will be busy celebrating the nation’s birthday with barbecues, fireworks or camping getaways, others will also be celebrating the memory of a fallen Navy SEAL. With distinguished guests such as Secretary of the Navy Donald C. Winter; Rear Adm. Joseph D. Kernan, head of the Naval Special Warfare Command; and Medal of Honor recipient Mike Thornton in attendance, a bronze statue
Happy 4th [Dan Collins; UPDATED]
On Sunday, Michelle Malkin posted a request on behalf of a family for prayers for their son who had successful surgery to remove a brain tumor today. I know that not all of us are Godbotherers here, but if you’re inclined to bug Him a little, please take a moment out of your holiday for Keith Johnston, our burrhog.
The Thingie Against Southoriental Whatchamacallit [Dan Collins]
Earlier today, Jeff posted on the linguistic improvements on the English language that new Prime Minister Gordon Brown has wrought by fiat, wherein the association of Islam and terrorism is to be made tantamount to a speech crime, as well as “War on Terror.” Melanie Phillips, thinking along the same lines, refers to this as “the strategy of consensual dissimulation.” Now, that’s rather a mouthful, but it does represent the
homespun homilies that never quite caught on, 6 (from the protein wisdom conceptual series)
“When the cat’s away, the mice will almost certainly find their way into the liquor cabinet, then — after smoking a couple of spliffs and taking a few laps in a punchbowl filled with whiskey sour and Maraschino cherries — will begin a spectaclular, uninhibited mouse orgy the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the Black Plague, or, less obviously, as a metaphorical subtext in the Satyricon. “The filthy
Bush won't rule out Libby pardon
Maybe he’s finally waking up to just how craven his political opponents really are. Or maybe he’s just trying to appease the base. You decide: President George W. Bush on Tuesday refused to rule out a pardon for former White House aide Lewis “Scooter” Libby, a day after sparing him from prison in a case that helped seal his Iraq legacy and gave ammunition to Democrats. Bush, who angered Democrats
Portrait of a Blue Dog Dem
The key, evidently, being that one is fiscally conservative. Of course, in Ms Bean’s defense, who wouldn’t want a four-sided, glare-free view of Henry Waxman rendered in gorgeous hi-def. At the very least, you’d be able to put to rest the Republican slander that Waxman plays host to a nest of house finches in one of his cavernous nostrils. And that alone, I think, justifies the expense.
"Al Qaeda In Iraq Behind U.K. Bomb Plot?"
Larry Johnson might beg to differ, but then, who cares? From CBS/AP: British intelligence services increasingly believe that the failed car bombings in London and Glasgow bear the fingerprints of al Qaeda in Iraq, CBS News has learned. Intelligence sources tell CBS News that the people behind the attempts were directly recruited by Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, the present leader of the terror group’s Iraq franchise. Police investigating the plot had
