Chip the Bastards! I was going to say a few things about that "Israeli", Mr. Olmert,
but the theme is just too distasteful.

Suffice to say that there seems to have been election fraud, no
doubt because Jimmah Carter wasn't there to do pollwatching.
Olmerts gorillas would probably have let an entourage led by
an icon of the US of Antisemitism through, instead of rounding
the inspectors up like they did with the conservatives. That
would probably have ended with 675 Kadima seats, though.





So -- funnier things are going on in the US. Cynthia McKinney
is on the loose.





Many are writing about McKinney's latest bout of weirdness
trying to punch out a member of the Capitol Police trying to get
her attention when she evaded the metal detector.

Now, Cynthia seems to be in the nasty habit of not wearing her
ID-pin. I understand that similar arrogant habits are quite
common amongst the "big" people making their lair at the Capitol.

Let me suggest an effective, simple and cheap solution: chip the
bastards. Have them chipped with a solution that will track them
from they reach, say, 50 feet from the Capitol entrance. In terms
of technology, this should be a little more elaborate than the
stuff used for your beloved Fido, but not terribly much.

If you want to splash for a much more elaborate solution, you
might design a chip capable of delivering electric pulses. Make
it receive signals from stations in the Capitol. And then devise
a system to let voters deliver their displeasure to the Capitol via
the TV remote. This would open for all kinds of neat stuff, like
weighting (congresscritter McKinney has accumulated 16
demerit points this afternoon --- mild zap!, RINO Specter
had 378 Republicans fuming --- WHAP!!). Could even result
in a popular "watch the Congress" live TV channel. At which
point the creeps would actually be doing something useful.

Amusing the public. 

  Diplomat Games From Vienna comes the news of a Yemen diplomat unloading
his pistol on a hapless shoeshine man who didn't hop to his
bidding fast enough. The guy has to be connected to the UN
somehow.

Anyway, I've been around and found some essential diplomat
gear for the Yemen foreign service:




Revolver with shotgun barrel for diplomats with an aiming problem.





To increase the number of diplomatic hits: Six-Shooter Bong Attachment.


Oh well.

Also on the foreign relations front: the Dutch are now going to
test their would-be muslim immigrants by showing them gay
movies and similar funny stuff.




Moderate Immigrant: So what if this guy is jumping out of the
closet like a demented jack-in-the-box? Doesn't bother me any
as long as I don't have to marry him.


But then again, there might be this:



Wahab Immigrant: So what is this you are showing to me? Is
it Broken Baked Mountin? Aiiii... what is he doing to that
sheep??!!?? Iiiiahh..shub niggurath... off with your head,
infidel!! Allah Akbar. Allah Akba....


At that point, I'm afraid the immigration authorities will have to
show spine not really existing in the Netherlands.




Oh, and an escaped sheep from Hollywood , Curly Hal, tells us that "No
Sheep were hurt during the making of Brokeback". This
is good to hear. But what's up with all these sheep
escapes anyway?
