Well, I've finally taken the big step and updated the blog. Hope you'll enjoy the new look. Personally I think it's a bit cooler than the old one, but that's probably just me.
There'll be a lot of experimenting going on here in the near future, so don't be surprised if things looks different every time you pass by.
Now, if I only could figure out how to add pictures to the side bar, that would be a good place to start...

And now for something completely different
Because it's Saturday, and even though I didn't got laid last night I'm in a good spirit this morning.
Probably because I haven't got the hangovers I deserve.:-)
Have a nice weekend!

"A dark hour for the Netherlands"
Pat Condell tells it as it is. As always.
This time of the trial Geert Wilders now faces for daring to quote the Koran. This is surely racist and hate-speech, how dare he point out all the hate and incitement to bloodshed in The Book written by Allah's own finger. Wilders must be impaled and quartered by wild horses.
Thank God there are still people like Pat and Wilders who will not be shut up by insane imams and dhimmi politicians.
And while we're at it, why not review "Fitna" this horrible, horrible hate movie filled with lies and distortions.
For as we all know, Islam means "peace" and all references to beheading, stoning, and massacres in general in the Koran are taken out of context.
Pat Condell is a brave man, his life expectancy can't be that long. One day he'll be found on a street with a javelin in his heart and a note saying: "Kill those who says Islam is violent!"
Which of course is a saying taken out of context.

When words fail
One of the largest newspapers in Denmark, Politiken, printed this drawing by Per Marquard Otzen the other day as a comment on the war i Gaza:

This iconic photograph clearly provided the inspiration. Warsaw, 1943. Jews are being marched from the ghetto and directly to the gas chambers in Auswitch:

I don't know about you, but I lack the words to describe my feelings towards this comparison. I suppose I could find an expression or two, but as I try to keep an urbane tone on this blog I'll restrain myself.
Now if you will excuse me, I feel the urge to go and throw up.

Pali-rally
An update on the previous post about the Pali-rally in Copenhagen shortly after the pro-Israel demonstration had finished.
Notice the Hitler-salute at 0.45.
UPDATE: This excellent footage from the so-called counter demonstration was taken and edited by [a Dane, see update 3, Ed] For some reason it's not on his home page, but he did upload it on Youtube:
UPDATE 2: There seems to be a little confusion in the bloggosphere, so let me repeat myself: As much as I wish I had made the above video, I haven't. I merely linked to it. Credit goes not to me, but to [XX, see update 3, Ed.], a very brave young man.
Just so there is no misunderstanding.
UPDATE 3: I have a bad feeling about revealing the videomaker's site, as he post his full name and address on it. I have written him, but so far haven't got an answer. His video has been tremendously exposed, much more that he would probably have thought, so for the sake of his security, I have removed the link to him until I get his permission to do otherwise.

Unrest in Copenhagen
A pro-Israel rally was held today on the City Hall Square in Copenhagen. As opposed to the situation in Oslo everything went peaceful.
The indefatigable Steen from Snaphanen was there and have posted a few snapshots on his blog:

However, only minutes after the (according police estimates, 300-400) demonstrators had dispersed, an unannounced rally took place at the Square, this time with Palis and left wing Danish moonbats.
This picture, also taken by Steen, shows a, whaddyacallit... "youth" being apprehended by a plain-clothes policeman:

Meanwhile, "youths" have been running amok in Copenhagen, with so far 75 arrests being made.

Pic from Jyllands-Posten
A few highlights from Jyllands-Posten (Link in Danish, my translation.)
Co-incidentally, at the exact same time as this unrest occurred, another demonstration were held a few kilometers away, in front of the Parliament, Christiansborg, by a bunch of indigenous Danes demanding that the immigration laws be loosened and that more immigrants should be allowed into the country. "It is the only decent thing to do," a spokesman declared on TV.
Perhaps the timing of such a rally could been have better if you ask me.

Press Officer at Copenhagen's Police, Flemming Steen Munch, says it was a group of about 75 persons with some 22 minors that were arrested. He also described the group as completely out of reach.Yeah, that will show those genocidal Joooz. "Stop the war, or every bus in Copenhagen will be covered in eggs!" Brilliant.
"It hasn't evolved as peaceful as we had hoped," [he] said.
The police also reported about unrest in Nørrebro [a neighborhood in Copenhagen and Ground Zero for much of civil unrest in the city. Ed.] Fireworks were thrown inside a McDonald's and eggs where thrown at several busses.
The police also reports of several car windows being smashed in. At one occasion a mother and her child was dragged out of their car before the windows were smashed.

Kill the jooos
A flyer was distributed by a young man at the Town Hall Square in Copenhagen Wednesday.
Danish blogger Steen at Snaphanen has uploaded it:

(Click for full screen.)
Steen describes him as nervous, about 25 of age who quickly disappeared after he was done littering the square.
Funny thing about Ay-rabs and their spelling. This is from a rally in New York:

Well, at least the Israelies aren't going to take any more shite lying down. Here's one entering the Gaza-strip.

Go for it my man, and Gods be with you and your mates!

Goodness gracious me
Well, this is it. As of today I'm now officially half a century old!

Strange feeling actually, but I guess that's a path we all have to go down. Then again, some Sunday mornings I feel like I'm a 100, so I guess reaching 50 isn't all that bad!
Anyway, happy new year to the reader out there (you know who you are.)

And may it be a prosperous and happy one! I'll drink to that.
Cheers.

Boobs fine with Glowball Wormening
Thank God! At least there's something good about Climate Change: It would seem that women's tits cope well with warming.

Not sure why, but the science is settled, and that's good enough for me. Who am I to dispute the findings of settled researchers?
UPDATE: Darn, next time I quote a headline, perhaps I should actually read the article first.

Sorry lads, no titties to be seen here, move along now.

Point taken (I think)
Funny thing about blogging.
Sometimes you get technoratied to sites you would never expect.
For instance, my post a few days ago spawned this spin-off (or so I imagine) on Stillmate:
كل مرأة في جامعتنا الموقرة. قررت إدارة الجامعة توزيع بوكيه ورد لكل سيدة تدخل من الباب سواء كانت طالبة أو دكتورة أو معيدة أو حتى فراشة. ويتمايلون فرحاً، أن هناك من يقدرهم. المهم، ذهبت مسرعاً لأتوجه إلى أحد المحاضرات ففوجئت بأحد الطلبة يأتيني من خلفي ويسلم علي بحرارة لم يسلم علي هكذا من عرفته من قبل ويحتضني ويقبلني بقوة ثم يقول: تستاهلوووووووون، ومبروكين ... ومن هالكلام
I must admit, I have absolutely no idea what it says, but then again that would my own fault for not taking the proper 101 something back in high school.
But thanks for for the reference Stillmate. (And no, just for the record, I'm not in anyway being sarcastic!)

Danish warship not allowed to board pirate vessel
The Danish warship Absalon today caught up with a Somali pirate vessel that had unsuccessfully tried to seize first a cruise ship and then a cargo ship in the bay of Aden.
The Danish SEAL-detail on Absolon was ready to board the suspected vessel, but orders came from the American central command of Taskforce 150 to abort on the the grounds that "it was not worth the risk" and the pirates were allowed to go on with their business.

Absalon's captain, Dan Pedersen, expressed his frustration this way in an interview with Danish TV2:
I, for one, don't blame him!
Why not routinely board suspected pirate boats and if nothing else, at least through any weapons found over the side?

Kowtowing to Paco
Let me first say this: I have been mightily inspired by Paco a frequent commenter over at Tim Blair's site. (A guy I cannot recommend enough!) I've even been so inspired, that I tryed to sneak this little stupid story into the comments, but it got the boot by moderator Tran because she thought it was "too long and too sweary."
"Too sweary?" WTF is he on about?
Anyway, here it goes with my apologies to Paco, whos boots I'm not worthy to shine!
---------
It's 3 AM and the computer on President John McCain's bed table suddenly comes alive: - You have mail!
- Sweet bejeezus! McCain yells. Alarmed by the urgency in the President's voice, Joe, his Secret Service detail, rushes in. Seeing that no one else is in the room, he holsters hos Dessert Eagle.
The President points at the computer: - Look, that there thing. It said something!
Joe, sensing the emergency mumbles into his armpit:
- Sixteen hunnerd needs the dork, and I mean now!
Less than 30 seconds later, two very broad-shouldered men in black suits throws in a skinny guy, who - in comparison with the Secret Service agents - doesn't appear to have any shoulders at all. He's still dressed in his pyjamas with small yellow ducklings patched all over it, and his hair is in absolute disarray.
Not for the the first time does Bartholemew (III) S. Simmel curse the day he took shis shitty job. (Yes, in his head he actually uses that profanity, which only goes to show how much he dispises this way of making a living.)
Still, he's serving at the Pleasure of the President of the United States! His attempt to come to attention is however somewhat foiled by the fact that he is still holding a teddy-bear in his hand.
- Bart, the President bellowes. - This thing just spoke to me. Is this what you call an, erm, I-letter?
Bartholemew withholds a sigh. He is very tired. Not only had he spent most of the previous night trying to explain to the Cabinet the subtle differences between a PC and a Mac, but the Secret Service agents had just yanked him out af a rather juisy dream involving Miss Jones, his German-teacher back in high school, and the hot phone-lady down at the reception.
He looked nearsighted into the 12 inch monitor. - Sir, it appears you have recieved an E-MAIL! Bartholemew tried to pronounce the word very slowly, but was brusquely brushed off:
- Yeah yeah, whatever. Is it from Putin? Has he declared war? I mean, it would be nice if the President of the US knew whether the fucking country was at war again, would't ya think! The President reached under his bed and produced a clay bottle marked XXX, an inauguraton present from one of his many third cousins down in the Bayu. He took a swig and dried his mouth with the back of his hand. - So, Bartie, tell me about this here u-post!
Bartholemew succeeded in opening the mail. Windows 3.1 wasn't really that easy to operate. - Sir, this E-MAIL (he tried again) appears to originate from Nigeria. Something about a bank account and an inheretance. There is also an attachment in it. However, I strongly advise against opening it as it may contain a virus.
McCain looked flabbergasted at his Cheif Cyberspace Advisor: - A virus? Are you telling me this thing has cooties? Then what the fuck is it doing in my bedroom?
Bartholemew opened his mouth for a few seconds then closed it again. What would be the point, he thought.
McCain turned to Joe, his trusted bodyguard and another of Sarah Palin's countless Alaskian friends and relatives he had hired on her strong recommendation. - Joe, what the hell's Nigeria and why are they sending me A-Cards?
Joe scratched his 3 AM shade. - Not really to sure, sir. I believe it's some sorry-assed country up somewhere in Tasmania or the likes!
He re-arrangened his chewing tobacco and spat out the used-up goo. In a perfect arc it landed dead-center in the President's tooth-glass.
- I do remember I wasted a Nigerian once. Big as a moose he was. Took three rounds between the eyes and a swing from my hockey stick before he went down, but down he went none the less!
Joe went thoughtful for a moment. - Then again, he might have been from Illinois. All them friggin' foreigners look alike to me, if you'll pardon my Siberian, sir!
McCain was now on the verge of an information overload. After all, it was 3 AM. - Alright then! he boomed at Bartholemew (III) S. Simmel and pointed at the computer: - Get that confounded contraction outta here. And Joe, if Nigeria bothers me one more time tell the Pentagon to nuke the crap out of them. I may not know much about the Information Highway, but I do know something about bombs. After all, I am a Republican!!!

Happy election-day for the USians out there. Forget about the polls, get out and vote!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Times: Danish PM favorite as EU-Prez
I knew it! I just knew it.Danish PM, Anders Fogh Rasmussen has been mentioned by the Times as the leading
Of course, Fogh (as he is called for short in Denmark) is not running for anything. He might get "elected" by the other PM's in the EU, kinda like when a new Pope is "elected" to take over the Vatican.
From The Times:
A dashing Dane with his own Facebook page has emerged as the favourite to thwart the ambitions of Bertie Ahern and Tony Blair of becoming the first “president of Europe”.
He is quietly gathering support as an ideal compromise candidate for the new role of president of the European Council, the forum in which EU leaders make decisions such as setting targets for greenhouse gases and biofuels.
"Greenhouse gases". Oh my dear God!
And "dashing?" Not the fist word that leaps to mind, if you ask me. He's more of an ascetic, a Saint Simon Stylites, a man who boasts about jogging ten kilometers every morning. A man who has sold out on every possible of his former principles in the pursuing his new glory as

And to think I once voted for that guy! Not any more. He stood as a staunch defender of Freedom of Speech during the MoToon-crisis, but since then he has back-pedaled on every issue, even going so far as condemning the movie Fitna and it's creator Geert Wilders, before he even had a chance to view it.
What are the odds that some big-whig in the EU gave him a nudge and whispered sweet word in Fogh's ears. You could get high up on the ladder, if only...wink-wink, know-what-I-mean! Say no more!
I'd say, the odds are pretty big. I hope he gets the job, and good riddance!

Pali conference in Copenhagen
Amazing. Not a peep in the Danish MSM, not a hint, but a coincidental click on Snaphanen brought me to this story from Family Securities Matters:
And I find out on a May 5th! On this day, of all days!
Update: This photo of the Brotherhood conference found on Urias:
It is interesting to note that CAIR director Nihad Awad will soon be sharing center stage in a major conference with Mohammad Akram al-Adlouni, the probable author of the most damning documents made public during the Holy Land Foundation trial.A list of attendees can found here.
The conference in Denmark, heavily populated with Muslim Brotherhood figures, is, according the program, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Nakbah or catastrophe, as they refer to the founding of the state of Israel.
The joint attendance of Awad and al Adlouni, now head of the al Quds Foundation in Lebanon, was first noted by the Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report.
The GMBDR further noted that:
The Palestinian Return Centre in London, characterized by sources in London as close to Hamas, has Trustees that have also been on the board of the Muslim Association of Britain, one of the Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the U.K. The Centre itself has been widely promoted by the U.K Brotherhood. CAIR, in turn, had its origins in the Hamas support infrastructure in the U.S.
So, the old gang is getting together again, in the service of the Muslim Brotherhood and its armed wing, Hamas.
And I find out on a May 5th! On this day, of all days!

Terror threats closes Danish embassies
The Danish embassies in Afghanistan and Algeria has been closed and business are now taking place at undisclosed secure houses in Kabul and Algiers, according to Copenhagen Post:
Regarding that last passage: One of the media-members facing charges for blasphemy in Jordan is theDhimmiEditor-in-Chief, Tøger Seidenfaden, from the leftist daily Politiken, a man who is constantly on TV as an apologist for Islam and a strong condemner of the MoToons.
I won't protest too strongly if they extradite him! :-)
National intelligence agency PET heightened the security level for Denmark and Danes abroad a couple of weeks ago and say the current threats against the embassies are due to the reprinting of the Mohammed cartoons in February.
Denmark's embassy in Jordan is still in operation, despite an in absentia court case going on in the country against several members of the Danish media for blasphemy over the printing of the drawings.
Regarding that last passage: One of the media-members facing charges for blasphemy in Jordan is the

Malpractice of wounded soldier
This is gross: A Danish soldier is badly wounded in Afghanistan and when he's shipped home he gets totally neglected by staff in the Danish national hospital.
From Jyllands-Posten (link in Danish, my translation):
He was badly wounded in Afghanistan when his platoon fell into an ambush that left one soldier dead and two others wounded. One of these was "Skjold" [meaning shield] who lost his leg and fractured the other as well as an arm. He also suffered severe injuries in the face.
He was shipped home and was admitted to what is supposed to be the best hospital in Denmark. Yeah, right:
Skjold have had his bandages changed five time, and every time he has to be under full anesthesia because of the pain. This requires him to be fasting for five hours before the procedure, but screw-ups and red tape in the hospital have left him starving and thirsting for as long as 20 hours.

This is bloody unacceptable! Every wounded soldier should get VIP-treatment. You know, the kind that the General Director of the hospital would get. Except of course, he would probably go to the US or Switzerland or Kazakhstan or wherever for treatment if he had any sense.
Don't let anyone fool you about socialized health care.
And to add insult to injury, the nurses are going on strike on Wednesday. Good luck, Skjold. You're gonna need it!
In other Afghan-related news (and this is a little more uplifting) the Danish soldiers have just told the politicians in not so many words:
Shut the f*ck up and let us do our job!
following a debate in parliament about en exit date for the troops.
Again from Jyllands-Posten:
Way to go, boys!
From Jyllands-Posten (link in Danish, my translation):
A Danish soldier lay eight hours in terrible pain without receiving any treatment.
He was badly wounded in Afghanistan when his platoon fell into an ambush that left one soldier dead and two others wounded. One of these was "Skjold" [meaning shield] who lost his leg and fractured the other as well as an arm. He also suffered severe injuries in the face.
He was shipped home and was admitted to what is supposed to be the best hospital in Denmark. Yeah, right:
The soldier had to wait in agony for eight long hours before a large shot of morphine finally relieved him from the pain.
"I couldn't move without screaming. That night was pure Hell," says Skjold.
At his side is his buddy, "Rolf." [names are pseudonyms ed.] He has been following his friend's ordeal since Skjold came home on April 2.
According to Rolf, Skjold only received 2.5 milligram of morphine when he arrived at the hospital, not nearly enough and only one sixth of the dose he was given on the flight home. The bandages weren't changed for more than eight hours.
When it finally happened it stank like an abattoir.
"The dressings were soaked with fluids and the stench of rotten blood filled the room," says Rolf, who himself is an army medic.
Skjold have had his bandages changed five time, and every time he has to be under full anesthesia because of the pain. This requires him to be fasting for five hours before the procedure, but screw-ups and red tape in the hospital have left him starving and thirsting for as long as 20 hours.

This is bloody unacceptable! Every wounded soldier should get VIP-treatment. You know, the kind that the General Director of the hospital would get. Except of course, he would probably go to the US or Switzerland or Kazakhstan or wherever for treatment if he had any sense.
Don't let anyone fool you about socialized health care.
And to add insult to injury, the nurses are going on strike on Wednesday. Good luck, Skjold. You're gonna need it!

In other Afghan-related news (and this is a little more uplifting) the Danish soldiers have just told the politicians in not so many words:
Shut the f*ck up and let us do our job!
following a debate in parliament about en exit date for the troops.
Again from Jyllands-Posten:
"We will stay in Afghanistan until our mission is completed, and the politicians should not discuss what year we will be pulled out," says the commander of the Royal Lifeguard regiment, Colonel Lasse Harkjær.The discussion about an exit date began last week, when the center-left party "Radikale Venstre" suggested that the troops be pulled out by 2012. That idea received a lot of flak from most of the other parties and - as it is apparent - also from the grunts on the ground.
Way to go, boys!
