Arab Fall becomes anti-US blowback as “turmoil” spreads to Morocco, Sudan and Tunisia. “…the anti-American revulsion, which started on September 11 in Egypt and has since taken Libya and Yemen by storm, is spreading like wildfire.” (Note: add Lebanon.) Hey, if a country explodes in the Middle East and no joun0lists hear it, is it still Romney’s fault?

Catch Barry Soetero, Jake Gyllenhal and the ghost of Heath Ledger in, "Blowback Mountin'" rated R (for "Ridiculous!")
Now the Germans are getting it too, in Khartoum.
May I digress with a limerick? Just one so rarely has the justification to recite one within this proper context.
There was an old queer from Khartoum
Who invited a friend to his room.
They argued all night
As to who had the right
To do what, and with which, and to whom.

"UPDATE, 10 a.m.: UT officials said in a statement:
At 8:35 a.m. the university received a call from a male with a middle eastern accent claiming to have placed bombs all over campus. He said he was with Al Qaeda and these bombs would go off in 90 minutes. President Powers was notified and it was decided to evacuate all of the buildings out of an abundance of caution."
Primary DNC talking point: bin Laden isn't better off then he was four years ago.
Hope this doesn't come out wrong but I'm glad this stuff is happening before the
election.
"Hope this doesn’t come out wrong." S' ok we know what you mean.
Oh, wait -- wait . . . I'm getting a Word of Inspiration. . . . This is all happening now because alQ and the terrorists are SO AFRAID of Dear Leader that they've saved all this up just to discredit him and scuttle his re-election chances.
/Wonder if I could sell that to PMSNBC for a hundred bucks or so?
It's pretty annoying that they got the threat, and didn't notify us until 15 minutes before the detonation time. Not that it was probably anything more than some idiot who wanted to get out of a test.
Oh, yeah, and it's raining in Austin today. So thanks anonymous asshole, for making me have to walk an extra mile in the stuff.
We in SA saw photos of the students streaming toward 6th street during the evacuation. Isn't it a little early for a bar?
I am sure it is a hoax but I think that it happened in the context of this week makes it troubling and illustrative of what we are descending to rapidly. As more immigrants arrive here, our society becomes more like theirs since multiculturalism makes no distinctions between various societies and there is little encouragement to assimilate.

This is what happens when you stick your nose into a hornets nest pretending they're honey bees!
And even honey bees can sting.
The entirely predictable outcome of a profoundly incompetent foreign policy.
