This blog´s drier than the Sahara.....

I keep hoping my muse will give me some inspiration, but she seems to be missing... I just can´t seem to find anything that I want to write about..... Not that I am looking for anything! I do keep this blog in the hope that things will change, but I am about to give up now. My Norwegian blog is also suffering from my lack of inspiration, but I seem to be able to update my picture blog fairly often. I have some small plans for changing my Norwegian blog so that maybe, just maybe, I´ll want to write again. I don´t have any plans at all for this blog though, so maybe it´ll just die a slow and painful death.......... Ugh, I hope not, but I´m not making any promises! It´s like my brain is hibernating! Maybe it´s not so healthy living in the country and not working full time. I need to activate my brain, stimulate it and keep it busy! I have to put in for that subscription for Atlantic Monthly now, and start reading New York Times again. Thing have gotten too far out of hand! (I´m mentally slapping my self now). I´ll keep my fingers crossed and my eyes and brain (!) open and see if anything interesting should come my way! In the meantime, have a wonderful blog day!

John Donne

Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not soe,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.

PMS

Well, even though my "monster" doesn´t get soothed so easily, it also takes a bit more to release it. I think...... Or would like to believe! But this film clip is really funny and a bit annoying.You guys don´t really think it´s THAT easy to please the PMS do you? As if we wouldn´t get suspicious right away!! And now we all understand the origin of werewolves......

Ha ha, I didn´t know he had it in him!

Rumsfeld can be funny, just watch!

You´ve got to be kidding me!

This is why I don´t like religion - at all:

Be afraid, be very afraid!

Revenge, thy name is Pelosi!

After six years of republican majority, the American people have had it with the political scandals, arogance of power and an all too expensive war. Bush´s nemesis could be a woman, Nancy Pelosi. Looking forward to the show!

Cops killed Politkovskaya?

The Russian media has pondered the question Who killed Anna Politkovskaya? since she was murdered. The Russian newspaper Kommersant claims two former policemen are responsible. The motive? Revenge. Politkovskaya wrote that the two cops were involved in the murder on at least one civilian. That´s okay then! Solve one murder with another! How clever! They must fell oh soo smart!

And the question of the day, is........

What is the definition of the term "Norwegian"? According to our Language Council, that term defines a person that belongs to the group of people that traditionally has populated this country. In other words, you have to be white to be defined as a Norwegian. That´s just plain racist. Shame on them! You can´t be a Norwegian even if you lived here for two, three or even more generations? How wrong is that??

Way to go, Britain!

It´s quite incredible, you know. How on earth did they do it? Either they didn´t know or they just didn´t care. And they admitted they knew (at least now!), so it shows they just didn´t care! Talk about arrogance! How could they not think about the millions of muslims watching the Olympics? All the muslim participants? I tell you, I do not flaunt my British citizenship at the moment!!

Gaw, architects!

There´s this Norwegian architect who´s well known in Norway because he likes to create big, expensive country houses for the rich. And he likes to get what he wants, and when he doesn´t, then he always manages to say something REALLY, REALLY stupid in the media. The last time it was the female public servants, that voted no for one of his country houses. He told them that they were frustrated PMS suffering hags (or something like that). Well, this time he didn´t get what he wanted again, one of his houses was considered to be visual polluting. He didn´t take that well. Not at all! He demanded a change of colour on the balls of hay you see around the country side. You know, these big, white balls that completely disappears during winter. So I ask you, what do you find most visual polluting, Finn Sandmæl or these white, round balls?

How did they do it?

The "Scream" and "Madonna" has been recovered by norwegian police today. Although I´m happy these nationals treasures are back, and also hope that it has been a lesson for the poor security in Norwegian museums, I can´t help but wonder how on earth the police managed to find the paintings. They have been missing for over two years and all the people thought to have anything to do with the stealing of these paintings, are now in police custody. So what did the police do? They say no ransom has been paid, wonder if they´re lying? Was it an anonymous tip maybe? Have they known all along where the paintings were? I know they could have gotten them earlier, but they moved too slow and the paintings were moved. The police wont speak of this operation, not yet anyway. It can´t be just good ol´ policework, now can it? The Norwegian police just isn´t that good! Or, hopefully, I´m mistaken!

I´m back, a little

Yesterday the trial of Oriana Fallaci commenced in Italy. She´s on trial for INSULTING ISLAM!! Can you believe it? By Adel Smith, president of the Muslim Union of Italy, "who was never charged with defaming Christianity after he referred to a crucifix as a “miniature cadaver” during his 2003 efforts to have depictions of Christ on the Cross removed from Italian schools.[1] He has amassed a reputation as something of a crank after demanding that Christians deny aspects of their faith that offended his Islamic sensibilities: he has called for the destruction of Giovanni da Modena’s fresco The Last Judgment in the 14th-century cathedral of San Petronio in Bologna, Italy, because that priceless expression of Medieval Christianity depicts the Muslim Prophet Muhammad in hell.[2] And in the mother of all frivolous lawsuits, Smith in February 2004 brought suit against Pope John Paul II and Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, for offending Islam by expressing in various writings their opinion, utterly unremarkable from two Christian leaders, that Christianity is unique and superior to other religions, including Islam"

MANIFESTO

Published in Jyllands-Posten, February 28.

MANIFESTO: Together facing the new totalitarianism
After having overcome fascism, Nazism, and Stalinism, the world now faces a new totalitarian global threat: Islamism.

We, writers, journalists, intellectuals, call for resistance to religious totalitarianism and for the promotion of freedom, equal opportunity and secular values for all.

The recent events, which occurred after the publication of drawings of Muhammed in European newspapers, have revealed the necessity of the struggle for these universal values. This struggle will not be won by arms, but in the ideological field. It is not a clash of civilisations nor an antagonism of West and East that we are witnessing, but a global struggle that confronts democrats and theocrats.

Like all totalitarianisms, Islamism is nurtured by fears and frustrations. The hate preachers bet on these feelings in order to form battalions destined to impose a liberticidal and unegalitarian world. But we clearly and firmly state: nothing, not even despair, justifies the choice of obscurantism, totalitarianism and hatred. Islamism is a reactionary ideology which kills equality, freedom and secularism wherever it is present. Its success can only lead to a world of domination: man's domination of woman, the Islamists' domination of all the others. To counter this, we must assure universal rights to oppressed or discriminated people.

We reject cultural relativism, which consists in accepting that men and women of Muslim culture should be deprived of the right to equality, freedom and secular values in the name of respect for cultures and traditions. We refuse to renounce our critical spirit out of fear of being accused of "Islamophobia", an unfortunate concept which confuses criticism of Islam as a religion with stigmatisation of its believers.

We plead for the universality of freedom of expression, so that a critical spirit may be exercised on all continents, against all abuses and all dogmas.

We appeal to democrats and free spirits of all countries that our century should be one of Enlightenment, not of obscurantism.

Bu$h selling out

Ok, so Bu$h made a deal with the UAE regarding six US ports. I've been wondering what compelled him to do this, since he previously confidently assured us that it was the UAE who supplied the funding, through their banks, for the terrorists who supposedly attacked on 9/11.And he also claimed the UAE was involved in surreptitiously shipping nuclear equipment to Libya, North Korea and Iran. And two of the supposed 9/11 hijackers are from the UAE. And the UAE recognized Hamas as a legitimate organization long before the election. So why did Bu$h declare that the "deal was done" and that he would VETO any bill passed through congress that attempted to overturn the "done deal?

It seems the UAE invested as much as $8 billion dollars in Bu$h's father's Carlyle Group last year, and the UAE runs the corporation Dubai Ports World. And John Snow, US Secretary of the Treasury, who also signed this deal, was the previous C.E.O. of a company called CSX. CSX was a shipping company and in February of 2004 (2 months after Snow left CSX for the Bu$h administration) CSX sold it's port operations in South America to Dubai Ports World, and the Carlyle Group purchased the rest of CSX operations.

And apparantly, Bu$h's recently appointed Maritime Administrator, David Sanborn, was a CEO at Dubai Ports World until very recently.

So, do tell me, what is REALLY going on here?

I Want to Kill All Americans and Turn The Entire World into One Muslim State, But That Will Not Affect How We Run the Ports!

An Editorial by President Khalifa bin Zayid al-Nuhayyan of the United Arab Emirates

As many of you now know, a company owned by my country is about to buy a number of your ports. Any rational look at this deal will see that it benefits both our countries, but, of course, many of you stupid infidels are all opposing this even though you don't understand the slightest thing about it. This whole controversy just makes me want to wipe out all you moron crusaders all the more, but please understand that this port deal is much more important to us than the eventual victory of Islam over the entire world, Allah willing.

Get one thing straight, this has nothing to do with port security. Your own Zionist-aligned government does all of that, you abominations to my sight. It's not like because we run a couple cranes in America that suddenly we can sneak in some nerve gas, you idiots. Even if we could, how suicidal do you think we are? If we let terrorists use the ports, it's not like it would take Sherlock Holmes to trace that back to us since we own them. Do you know how rich I am? Do you really think I want to be hiding in some spider hole like that ass Saddam? Of course, I'm using logic that would take a moment's reflection, something that's a little too advance for you mindless critics. This makes me so mad, I want to murder all you Americans in your sleep... until I remember the economic implications of that.

And stop bringing up how two of the 9/11 hijackers came from here; is America responsible for every one of its citizens? If you think the UAE was involved with in planning 9/11, then come out and say it so I can strangle you for your lies. Yes, I cheered for a moment at the deaths of so many infidels... until I remembered how much business we do in New York! My country has a huge per capita income, but it's honestly not the most solid in the world. Implications of us involved in terrorism could knock us over the edge, and, if you took a poll of our citizens, you'd see a near majority consider economic stability more important than mass murder. As much as I want you all to die, we have our own housing bubble to worry about over here. Do any of you understand that? Sometimes I think I'd have to use a pipe bomb to get through your thick skulls.

And honestly, how many of you knew your ports weren't owned by Americans before all this? I swear, if any of you raise your hands, I'll cut them off. None of you knew anything about the ports until the talking heads and harlots jumped on this issue, and suddenly all of you are like, "Oh no! The Arabs are going to run our ports and they want to kill us all!" Hell yes, we want to kill you all, but it's not like we could fit that in our business plan. Have any of you looked at our business plan? Of course not. Holy Allah, I so want to strangle you all!

All I want you stupid infidels to understand is that this deal is all business. All thing being equal, I would stab you all repeatedly and then behead you, but that is not a money making venture. So stop your stupid mouth flapping before you make us so mad that we seriously begin considering using your ports to kill you.

Khalifa bin Zayid al-Nuhayyan is the President of the United Arab Emirates and likes to watch horse and camel racing and plot the destruction of Israel between business ventures.

More cartoons here

I love the way their mind works

From Sandmonkey:

I love the way their mind works

I blame the infidels...the zionists..ehhhh....

More than 7,000 Afghans protested on Tuesday against cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in European newspapers and condemned an attack on a Shi'ite Muslim shrine in Iraq as a "plot by infidels."

Sayed Ghulam Sakhi, head of the government-appointed Islamic Council in Ghazni, called the printing of the cartoons, the attack in Iraq and desecration of the Islamic holy book, the Koran, by U.S. forces the work of "Zionists."

"(They) are linked together and the work of the infidels," he said.

Another senior cleric in Ghazni, Mawlavi Jailani, charged that the attack on a Shi'ite shrine in Iraq last week, which has sparked bloody sectarian violence, was part of a "plot by the infidels to create hostility" between the two Muslim sects.

Damn zionists...ehh..Infidels...ehh...no, zionists..ehh...my brain hurts from thinking.

From Hodjas blog:

Women have a strong innate jealousy, which may lead to strange attitudes, as happened to the ‘Mothers of the Believers’ [i.e., Muhammad’s wives]. That does not diminish their rank and dignity.
[Qur’an] Commentary, Grade 9, (2000) p. 148
O people, you owe your wives their right and they owe you your right. They are obliged to you not to let someone else into your bed, not to let someone whom you hate into your house without your permission, and not to commit an evidently vile sin. If they do, then God has permitted you to oppress them, avoid being with them in bed, and beat them – but not harshly.
From Muhammad’s last sermon, Arabic Literature, Grade 10, (1999) p. 51

Bloodmoney for a free male Muslim… is a hundred camels.
Bloodmoney for a free infidel is half the bloodmoney for a Muslim…
Bloodmoney for a woman is half the bloodmoney for a man, each one according to her religion, as bloodmoney for a Muslim female is half the bloodmoney for a Muslim and bloodmoney for an infidel female is half the bloodmoney for an infidel.
Islamic Jurisprudence, Grade 10, (2001) p. 46

As for women – their testimony is not accepted in [matters of] legal punishments [Hudud] and homicide cases [Dima’].

There have been many proofs for the command of the veil and the prohibition of beautification and unveiling… God has imposed on the woman the duty to cover her whole body in order to be safe because of her veil from the offenders’ insults… He has prohibited beautification and unveiling because of the scandalous deeds they lead to.
[Islamic] Jurisprudence, Grade 10, (2001) p. 65

The presence in private of a man with a strange woman, as well as mingling with men , are two of the most serious things leading to adultery and the greatest harm. Therefore, God’s Messenger forbade such mingling…

It is best for a woman to protect herself from going out from home whenever possible.

One of the most difficult matters for a sensible woman is threatening her with divorce. The matter becomes more difficult if the husband replaces her with someone who is better than she is.
[Qur’an] Commentary, Grade 9, (2000) p. 151
The usage sanctioned by tradition for divorce is that it takes place when the woman is not in her monthly period, no intercourse occurs between the couple, and he divorces her in a definite manner i.e., saying the phrase of divorce once, or even twice, but not thrice…
[Qur’an] Commentary, Grade 9, (2000) p. 132

yes, Yes, YES!

I'm watching this documentary on Swedish TV tonight, with my mouth hanging open. This woman, maybe around 40 years old, has a disease called PSAS, or orgasm disease. Earlier, she would probably be diagnosed as a nympho, but it's a physical condition, that makes her have orgasms all day long! Vibrations makes them come more often, so anything from blow drying her hair to vacuuming to driving the car, makes her orgasms more intense. Can you imagine?! I mean, we women usually have to work a bit to reach an orgasm, not to mention all the work that leads up to a truly intense one! But she just gets them effortlessly, everyday, as often as 300 times A DAY! The orgasms are more intense during the night, she rarely sleeps threw the entire night because the orgasms keep waking her up! This disease also makes her sex drive higher than normal, so she seems to never get enough. You would think any guy would jump at a woman like that, but she actually got dumped because of her high sex drive and all of her orgasms!! She can't have a normal job, because she finds her orgasmic "illness" a bit to demanding and it's made her shy. I just don't get this. I know I'm being prejudice, but wouldn't you love to be in her shoes for a day or two? I know I would. Imagine experiencing 300 orgasms in a single day! I don't get that in a year! Or in two years! Not by a long shot.

I think I'm a bit envious.
