Comment on Jew’s ear juice by shwaybass

shwaybass — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 19:14:54 +0000

The jew’s ear is actually a type of edible wild mushroom, and jew’s ear used to be a general term for all edible wild mushrooms, though this usage of the term has long fallen out of favour due to heavy pressure from the Jewish lobby. Ok, I made that last part up. But the rest is true.

Comment on Israel to be world’s 4th largest arms exporter by Michael Redbourn

I found the initial post interesting and useful.

My son mentioned that it must cost Israel a fortune to using very expensive missiles against kassams.

I quoted the mentioned statistic and added that Israel earned so much money from the sale of arms, that what it cost it to use them paled in comparison.

Israel has one of the few growing economies right now and a healthy surplus.

Comment on Qatar to mediate (again) in Yemen by David lepeska

Nice piece, but you open with “Qatar is” and later go with “Qatar have.”

Singular or plural? Make up your mind, Sir.

Farsi tattoos???!!! Clearly they must be secret coded Republican Guard affiliation markers. No doubt.

As for 7-11s, I’m pretty sure that the Hindu Indians have that industry cornered. But then again, I’m pretty sure Rep. Myrick is scared of them too, with their late colonial history of being insurgents and all.

Frankly I lacked the courage to quote another of her warnings because it is so fundamentally frightening.

Judge for yourself:

From The Charlotte Observer.

“In 2003 she angered Muslims with a comment during a Heritage Foundation forum about danger within the country.
‘You know, and this can be misconstrued, but honest to goodness (husband) Ed and I for years, for 20 years, have been saying, ‘You know, look at who runs all the convenience stores across the country.’ Every little town you go into, you know’

And you probably have noted as I did that she was warning of the jihadi danger back in 1983!

When you can’t buy a ham sandwich, hot dog or a sixpack down at your local 7-11, I’m sure you’ll come to regret dismissing her warning.

But then it will be too late.

Comment on Saudi: we want more polygamy by Anonymous

Maybe if more young Saudi men could -would get decent jobs, and woman would demand an amount young men could afford (nix the exorbitant Maher), then they could could get a first wife – and stop young women from being forced into making decisions to marry older men with additional wives.

Comment on Jailed for ‘blasphemy’ by Khaled

What is more astonishing is that the page that carries the story (link above) in Gulf Times has a story about a tunisian man who hit and killed a Bagladeshi pedestrian, but has been sentenced to only 3 months in jail, which have been suspended, and a fine of QR 20,000!
