where are the self loathsome liberals on this one......the America hating left that insists it is okay to burn the U.S. Flag as a demonstration of your First Ammendment rights.......and yet , here we have a major market newspaper, the LA Times, just days before the Nation casts votes in the most important election of our collective lives, refusing to air a tape that shows one of the candidates in a light he has tried very hard to convince is not him.......The Tape (full story below) is of Ossama Obama hangin with the PLO in 2003......less than 24 months after the attacks on America.....and we rallied as a nation and proclaimed "Never Forget" ......forgive me if I chuckle at that one......Never forget ? as we stand on the precipice of suicide......never forget ? sad.......... obama claims that although he attended Rev Wrights church for 20 years, he does not shares the views of that man and has distanced himself from that church........obama who shared cocktails and rubbed elbows with admitted terrorist bomber Bill Ayers but does not share his extreme views and claims " I was only 8" when that bombing happened......by that logic , it would be okay if 30 years from now , someone running for president could have cocktails with the Ossama Bin Laden and claim " I was only 8 in 2001"....obama...why are you so quiet about Rashid Khalidi ? why are you so scared of this tape airing ?......let America see it , buy up 30 minutes of prime time television with your illegal donations and proclaim that you have distanced yourself from Rashid Kalidi and his extremist views and move on.......you have an ignorant public at your feet , adoring your every move , in a satanic trance, like mushrooms they wish to be kept in the dark and force mad manure..........I have officially suspended the Gato for El Presidente~ campaign and decided to put the jokes on the shelf until after the election , this is too serious to be making light.........anyway , after the 4th , the World may be laughing at America.
one last crack, if my adversaries ever unearthed damaging footage of me hanging with Dano in Breezy or on a bus to that Liberal Free State of Montreal , I would never distance myself from the Woodman....no sirree....I would stand by my future Ambassador to Diego Garcia 100% ...........if I ever did win the election I would put together a cabinet that rivaled the Holland family Liquor Cabinet on 73rd street back in the day.........yes sir, no more jokes....
The Los Angeles Times is standing on what it calls journalistic integrity - a promise made to its source - in refusing to release a 2003 videotape of Barack Obama fulsomely praising a Palestinian apologist for armed "resistance" against Israel.
Pardon our skepticism.
The paper, which has endorsed Obama, said it obtained the tape from "a confidential source" who demanded "that we not release it."
But what of the public's right to know?
Does anyone seriously believe that, as John McCain said yesterday, "if there was a tape with me and Sarah Palin and some neo-Nazi . . . you think that that tape wouldn't be made public?"
In its defense, the paper says that it published "a detailed account" of the videotape back in April.
True enough - although the paper also won't release a full transcript.
The tape shows Obama, then an Illinois legislator, speaking at a dinner hosted by Arab-Americans for Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian activist and professor who was headed for Columbia University.
Who is Khalidi, and why should Americans be concerned about Obama's relationship with him? See Gabriel Schoenfeld's profile of the activist-scholar on the opposite page.
On the tape, Obama says his many dinners with Khalidi have been "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases," and adds: "For that reason, I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation."
Such words aren't likely to reassure supporters of Israel - indeed, as the Times itself reported, it explains why Palestinian partisans believe that Obama "is . . . receptive to their cause."
The Obama campaign yesterday insisted that its candidate "has been clear that Rashid Khalidi is not an adviser to him or his campaign and that he does not share Khalidi's views."
But when did that become "clear"?
Shouldn't responsible journalists be asking that question?
And shouldn't LA Times owner Sam Zell be demanding that his underlings make the tape public?
Yes, he should!
Meanwhile, the founders of The Politico report that "Obama will win the votes of 80 percent or more of the journalists covering the election."
And journalists wonder why Americans don't trust the media.

the killer comes from within
the below article first appeared in the NY Post on Tuesday Oct 28th.
'OBAMA! Inshallah!" - Obama! Allah willing! That slogan, scribbled on walls in Gaza, indicates the hopes that Barack Obama has inspired among Arabs.
While Obama has tried to push his origins into the background, his "Islamic roots" have won him a place in many Arabs' hearts.
One columnist, Mohamed Al-Menshawi, hails Obama as "the candidate with Muslim roots" and as the "harbinger of solidarity between Americans and the Muslim world."
Another, Al-Jazeera's Aala al-Bayoumi, notes: "Had it not been for Obama, Arabs would not even bother to follow the US presidential race." What makes the difference is Obama's "Islamic and African roots."
Marwan Bishara hails Obama's "radical politics": "For the US to vote in an African-American progressive liberal would certainly mark a departure from the hyper and violent conservatism of the Bush-McCain camp," he writes. An Obama presidency "would be better for both the US and the Arab world."
Obama especially appeals to pan-Arab nationalists angry at the United States for having ousted Saddam Hussein. Obama's promise to leave Iraq gives pan-Arabs their only chance (albeit slim) to destroy the new Iraqi democracy.
While radical Arabs, including the Hamas leadership, favor Obama, most Arab officials are wary of him. They fear his inexperience and leftist connections might destroy all that has been gained in Iraq, provoke a bigger mess in Afghanistan, trigger a war with Pakistan and open the way for Khomeinist hegemony in the region.
Note that Obama wouldn't be the first politician with Muslim roots to lead a major non-Muslim country. Carlos Menem, a Muslim of Syrian descent, served as Argentina's president from 1989 to 1999. But he dropped his Arab-Islamic first name and adopted his baptismal Christian name before entering politics.
Obama, by contrast, has retained his Arabic-Islamic names. (Barack means "blessed" and Hussein means "beautiful.") His family name is Swahili, an East African lingua franca based on Arabic. Arab commentators note that his siblings also all have Arabic Muslim names. His sister is called Oumah, Arabic for "the community of the faithful his older daughter, Malia, bears the name of a daughter of the Caliph Othman, who commissioned the compilation of the first edition of the Koran. That Obama's stepfather was also a Muslim (from Indonesia) strengthens the empathy that many Arabs feel for him.
The Syrian regime has also indicated its preference for Obama, not least because President Bush forced it to end its 29-year military occupation of Lebanon. Buthaina Shaaban, an adviser to President Bashar al-Assad, has welcomed Obama's call for radical change in US policy. She writes, "The change suggested by Obama is essential not only for the US but for the entire human family."
Also enthusiastic for Obama is the Lebanese Hezbollah. The party's No. 2, Sheik Naim al-Kassim, went as far as inviting Americans to vote Obama as a step toward peace with Islam. (The party disowned his comments as "personal opinion.") Pro- Hezbollah columnist Amal Saad-Ghorayeb has no doubt that Arabs should welcome an Obama presidency because "African-Americans are more sympathetic to Arabs because they, too, are oppressed."
Hussein Shobokshi, a liberal Saudi commentator, predicts that "Obama's ascent to power in America would mark an important moral transformation in the superpower and is a healthy indicator of the long-awaited improvement in the international arena." He envisages a new system in America in which "nongovernmental institutions will participate in the political decision-making process in an effective manner," while "capitalism will undergo fundamental adjustment."
Another liberal writer, Diana Makkled, sees Obama's success as a sign that America is still the place where dreams are realized. That a man with a Muslim-African background might become president "could only take place in the US, not in the banana republics we live in," she writes.
Arabs welcomed and widely commented on Colin Powell's assertion that, even if Obama were a Muslim, it should not be held against him.
Some columnists have also noted Obama's close ties to a number of Palestinian radicals, including Rashid Khalidi and the late Edward Said, as signs that the senator would change US Middle East policy in the Arabs' favor. Strengthening that impression was an interview the Rev. Jessie Jackson granted to several Arab media outlets, including Al-Jazeera and the popular Internet newspaper Elaph, in which he promised an end to the United States' allegedly pro-Israel policy.
Not all Arab commentators are struck by Obamania, however. His flip-flops on issues - including the future of Jerusalem, withdrawal from Iraq and dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat - have prompted some to counsel caution.
Tareq Al-Houmayed, editor of the daily Asharq Alawsat, warns Arabs not to expect too much: "Every American president would be governed by American interests. Obama's understanding of politics is not important here."
Abdulrahman al-Rashed, a Saudi commentator, also notes that no president can radically alter US global policies. He advises Arabs to neither have exaggerated hopes nor be dispirited when Obama tells the Israelis "more than they hoped to hear" to win Jewish support.
Amir Taheri's latest book, "The Persian Night: Iran Under the Khomeinist Revolution," is due out next month.

RAAAAIIIIINNNNNNN
when the rain comes , they go and hide their heads....they might as well be dead.....when the rain comes......when the raaaaain comes. (lennon/mccartney)
well it can't rain enough on the satanic city of philadelphia, as far as I am concerned.
I am delighted that their lil world series party eneded on a dreary rain soaked monday night.....2-2......no title tonight, but hopefully some of the trailer park trash in attendance caught a pneumonia........it is porbably too much to still hope that Tampa somehow turns it around and wins the series.....BUT IF THEY DO......I will personally lead the charge to revoke the city charter for philadelphia and turning it into a waste management transfer station..... a dumping ground for the garbage that "REAL" cities produce.
if nothin else, these loosers dumped $25 for parking, a lot more for tickets, beer, rain ponchos etc etc , and saw a tie...A TIE.....but since this is philly....they are probably quite used to kissing their sisters.

could you imagine
Just think of the possibilities if we were not stuck in the BCS world......
We could very well have ended up with a Rose Bowl Tilt matching the Nittany Lions of Penn State Verses the Men of Troy from USC.......on a sun drenched field on New years Day in pasadena, with 100,000 spectaters sporting their School Colors and a National Championship on the line..... a match made in college football fan heaven....but alas not this year.....if these two Historic institutions do meet it will either be on January 8th, a Tuesday Night in a dome somewhere........OR , if the meet in the rose Bowl by chance, it will only be because they have both fallen out of the Natl Championship picture.......beware of what you wish for America...beware.
and the Wramblin Wreck keeps rolling along......a nice come from behind victory in the 4th quarter win, on the road in Clemson to boot......

Remember the USS Cole
Nearly one year before the attacks of 9/11, the U.S. Navy ship Cole, located off the coast of Yemen, was attacked by suicide bombers. The attack was later attributed to a cell within the Al Qaeda network; it had been supervised by Osama Bin Laden. The Cole bombing alerted Americans of the reality of terrorism, though, even when the connection to Al Qaeda was established, the threat represented by the Al Qaeda network remained generally underestimated.
On Thursday, October 12, 2000, while refueling at a port in Aden, Yemen, the U.S. Navy destroyer Cole was attacked by a two suicide bombers navigating a small motorboat full of explosives. The explosion occurred at 11:18 a.m. Bahrain time, killing 17 crew members and wounding 40 others.

Dano looses coin flip
well it obviously came down to a coin flip in the mangini household and once again our pal Dano suffered the unfortunate fate of coming up shy on this one.........the Mangerkis instead have named their child after Brett Favre........what loosers.....how awkward will this be when Favre goes to Management after the season and tells them he is only coming back next year if Mangini is fired as head coach......my prediction for manginis kid.....i really hope I am wrong , although I rarely am......rehab or suicide before he turns 18.

double digits on horizon
with the late night addittion of Jim "no relation to Jules" Holland to the avid blog readers of SN2K , we are rapidly approaching double digits in membership......ballons, hats and party favors and an ice cream cake in the conference room .....once the magic number has been reached....
Jim , pls remember....we are the opposite of Vegas.....our motto is.
"What Happens on the Blog..........should be shared with everyone you come in contact with".....and since you are in the service industry , I expect a slew of cabbies and tourists to start loggin onto this space.
Dow futures are DOWN again.......looks more and more like Dano and Whitey Cahill got out of Wall Street at the right time......
can this twelve month long bad luck streak be somehow traced back to the re-emergene of P.G. on the street.......??

whats that BUZZZZZ
it's the ferocious STING of the Yella jackets of course..( 5-0 vs the spread)...Coach Johnson has the drones swarming.......he is quietly dispelling the rumor that he cannot coach an effective passing game........as he said , and I have repeated time and time again , ad nauseum , the reason they did not throw more often at the Naval Academy was twofold......1st and foremost , when your gameplan is clock management and ball control it is actually a disservice to your defense if your offense scores too quickly .....The defenses at Navy were undersized , they could not hang with the ND's of the world for 4 quarters....UNLESS....their offense was capable of 7, 8, 9 or even 10 minutes drives........if you can limit the amount of time your defense is on the field, you also limit the oppurtunities for your weakness to be exposed......when Navy did go to the passing game they were extremely effective....in part because the opposing defense was lulled into an option coma.
Secondly.....the passing game requires timing , and timing comes from practice , and practice? well at the US Naval Academy , although important; Football practice is at the bottom of the "to do" list.......these kids are learning Nuclear engineering and clever ways to infiltrate foreign soil and murder ruthless despots.....these are the guys that will invent the next wave of warfare that will defend and save this country for generations to come......football is a saturday afternoon leisure activity to take the mind off the problems of the world at hand....
At Georgia Tech ? a fine engineering school in its own rite, but those nerds aren't suting up on a saturnalian Saturday.....GA Tech is a football factory.....the kids who are on a gridiron scholarship are there to win games , not wars.....just like almost every other big time program in the Nation......the motto is "stay out of jail to stay on the field"........and Coach Johnson , the finest offensive mind in the NCAA today , will use the tools he is given.......we are right on time for the National Championship game Next year......might even crack the BCS party this year to get our toes wet....
around the rest of the NCAA yesterday.....The MIDS had a big win at Air Farce and are on track for an unprecedented 14th straight win agaisnt the other service Academies and the 7th straight winning of the CIC Trophy......Coach Ken is carving his own niche with this team....I like him already.....he has Coach J hutzpa and is not afrid of the unconvential.....bring on the Pitt Panthers.
The IRISH are slowly but surely erasing the bitter taste of last year.......after the SD State opener , I thought we were in for a long year , but I take my hat off to Clausen and I am very impressed with the passion of the defense.....let's go into tarheel country and show that we can win on the road......big game next week.
WHOOOOAAAA Nittany ........how about Joe Pa and the Lions , a win is a win is a win , especially in the lil Ten.....6-0 with Ohio St and Whisky on the horizon...i geuss the calls for MR Paternos head 3 years ago were a bit premature.
and Miami lost.......spoon-jiah.....I wonder whatever happened to that shirt I bought in Nairobi, Kenya.......it had a big elefante on it with the traditonal African'T greeting "Jambaya"........I think i lost that bad boy during the Pascagoula Miss days ...circa 1988.
oh well , that's it from Lil Silver on a quiet Sunday morn.......let's go brew Crew and the Big Blue.......go hail liev.....and as we "roll" into Roctober we draw ever closer to the 11 installment of Svetter Nite.....never too soon to go jersey shoppin.
LACE UP....GEAR UP.......DRINK UP
