"NFL & ROGER GOODELL, YOU CAN ALL GO ... "
MONEY TO MAD MUSLIMS; INSANITY CONTINUES ...
IS ISLAMIC SOCIETY'S DYSFUNCTION GENETIC?

It was bound to happen. After three weeks of utterly incompetent officiating in the NFL, a referee (not just a game official, but THE referee) made such a blatantly mistaken call last night on the last play of the Seattle-Green Bay game that it directly changed the outcome.
     The NFL is now officially a joke and Roger Goodell, the commissioner, is a fool who should be fired by the owners for allowing this absurd situation to develop and fester. Can any football fan imagine such an insane mess happening under the late Pete Rozelle?

Just so you know ...
     The Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate has voted by an overwhelming margin to continue giving your tax dollars in foreign aid to Pakistan, Libya and Egypt where mobs encouraged by the government -- in Egypt and Pakistan -- burn American flags and scream "Death to America."
     Pakistan, of course, tortured and continues to imprison the Pakistani doctor who helped U.S. forces find Osama bin Laden.
     The vote was held Saturday when it would be given little media attention.

Cliff May (National Review Online) clarifies the root-cause of Muslim rage ...
     "Islamists are inspired by Hassan al-Banna, the Egyptian intellectual who in 1928 founded the Muslim Brotherhood, and who declared, simply and plainly, that “it is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to BE dominated, to impose its laws on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.
     "Among those laws as the Islamists interpret them: Insulting Islam, its scriptures, or its Prophet is forbidden to everyone everywhere. Infidels may not offend Muslims. Those who violate these laws are to be punished."

What is not clear enough?

Victor Davis Hanson summarizes the latest adventures of Barack the Bungler ...
     "If Obama were a conservative Republican, a George W. Bush for example, the media narrative of Libyagate would be one of an asleep, incompetent president, lieutenants who were brazenly mendacious, an incompetent secretary of state, and an administration conspiracy of silence — juxtaposed with a wider story of a disastrous retreat from Afghanistan, an abandonment of any influence in Iraq, a refusal to recognize the situation in Syria and Egypt — and impotence as a war looms between Iran and Israel."

Between GM and Toyota, which would you say has been better at evaluating an auto market over the past decade or two? Okay, the question answers itself. Which is why Toyota has decided to abandon the development of an all-electric car (they'll continue the hybrid Prius) while Government Motors lurches along with the ridiculous Chevy Volt and its pathetic sales only inflated by huge discounts and enormous taxpayer subsidies for each piece of junk sold.

How does one explain the wild variations in political polls this far ahead of an election? Jay Cost offers this in the NY Post ...
      "It’s only September.
      "For political junkies, this statement makes little sense. They’ve been paying close attention to the campaign for months now, and are giddy over the fact that Election Day is quickly approaching. But political junkies don’t swing elections. In fact, something like 25 percent of voters make their voting decisions after September, and anywhere from 10 percent to 20 percent will make their final choice in the last week.
     "This is why the polls have often swung wildly in the final weeks of a campaign. It’s how a toss-up race between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan finished with a GOP blowout in 1980. It’s how Bill Clinton went from being up 9 in mid-September, 1992 to a tie with George H.W. Bush by the end of October.
    " It’s how George W. Bush went from being 10 points down in September 2000 to the 43rd president in January 2001. And it’s how the very same Bush “blew” the 11-point lead he enjoyed in late September 2004, defeating John Kerry by just 2 points."

A real-world reminder from reader Deborah ...    
     "Appeasement is defined as defeat on the installment plan."
     A lesson Mullah Barack never learned. Or did he?

Marilyn Monroe once sang, "After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It." That seems to be what's going on with the French, who elected a Socialist president in May. His promise of huge tax increases on income taxes for the successful prompted a sudden mass exodus of those folk; they took their money and left the country.
     Now, the latest public-approval poll shows Monsieur Hollande suffering the steepest drop in many years of any president's popularity, down from 54% in August to 43% in September.

The big no-no that's seldom discussed about malfunctioning Muslim societies is the fact, and it is a fact, that marriage between cousins is common and an accepted practice.
     Nicolai Sennels is a Danish psychologist who has done extensive research into a little-known problem in the Muslim world: the disastrous results of Muslim inbreeding brought about by the marriage of first-cousins.
     This practice, which has been prohibited in the Judeo-Christian tradition since the days of Moses, was sanctioned by Muhammad and has been going on now for 50 generations (1,400 years) in the Muslim world.
     According to Sennels, close to half of all Muslims in the world are inbred. In Pakistan, the numbers approach 70%. Even in England, more than half of Pakistani immigrants are married to their first cousins.The numbers are equally devastating in other important Muslim countries.
     According to the BBC, this Pakistani, Muslim-inspired inbreeding is thought to explain the probability that a British Pakistani family is more than 13 times as likely to have children with recessive genetic disorders. While Pakistanis are responsible for three percent of the births in the UK , they account for 33% of children with genetic birth defects.
     Learning ability is severely affected as well. Studies indicated that 64% of school children with Arabic parents are still illiterate after 10 years in the Danish school system. The immigrant drop-out rate in Danish high schools is twice that of the native-born.

Mark Steyn's take on the Barack/Hillary condemnation of a video virtually no on has seen ...
     "What other entertainments have senior U.S. officials reviewed lately? Last year Hillary Clinton went to see the Broadway musical "Book of Mormon." "We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others"? The Book of Mormon's big showstopper is "Hasa Diga Eebowai," which apparently translates as 'F*** You, God.' The U.S. Secretary of State stood and cheered.
     "Why does Secretary Clinton regard 'F*** You, God' as a fun toe-tapper for all the family but 'F***, You Allah' as 'disgusting and
reprehensible'? The obvious answer is that, if you sing the latter, you'll find a far more motivated crowd waiting for you at the stage
door.
     "In the Middle East, Islam had always been beyond criticism. It was only natural that, as their numbers grew in Europe, North America and Australia, observant Muslims would seek the same protections in their new lands. But they could not have foreseen how eager Western leaders would be to serve as their enablers.
... As the more cynical Islamic imperialists occasionally reflected, how quickly the supposed defenders of liberal, pluralist, Western values came to sound as if they were competing to be Islam's lead prison bitch."

Catch this Wall Street Journal item by Nick Schulz?
     "At a recent dinner in Washington, D.C., with representatives from major American manufacturing companies, I listened as the talk turned to how hard it is to find qualified applicants for jobs.
     "'What exactly are the skills you can't find?' I asked, imagining that openings for high-tech positions went begging because, as we hear so often, the training of the U.S. workforce doesn't match up well with current corporate needs.
     "One of the representatives looked sheepishly around the room and responded: 'To be perfectly honest . . . we have a hard time finding people who can pass the drug test.'"

Somebody please pass this to David Brooks of the NY Times and Joe Scarborough of MSNBC:

Candor in advertising ...
     A New Jersey homeowner put a "For Sale" sign on his lawn that was extraordinarily revealing. It says, "House for sale by owner because my neighbor's an a--hole."
