The worst honeymoon in history, even worse than the Editor’s

Stefan Svanstrom of Stockholm set out on a 4-month honeymoon with wife Erika and their baby girl and the number of troubles they faced is astounding.

Eleven years ago this month, on the first morning of the Editor’s honeymoon, he turned on CNBC (yeah, he’s a romantic devil) only to discover that the two stocks in which he had just invested had both plummeted. The new Mrs. Editor assumed that his sudden, deep depression was an indication that he regretted the marriage.

Although that seemed horrible at the time, both stocks eventually recovered as did the Editor’s mood, and the honeymoon was saved. And in retrospect, that little financial glitch was nothing compared to the honeymoon described in this Associated Press story:

Stefan Svanstrom of Stockholm said Tuesday he set out on a 4-month-long honeymoon with his wife Erika and their baby girl on Dec. 6 and immediately got stranded in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe’s worst snowstorms.

After that, he says, they experienced the devastation of a cyclone in Cairns, Australia, and the flooding in Brisbane, and narrowly escaped the bush fires in Perth.

Just before arriving in New Zealand, Svanstrom says, the 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch and at the couple’s last destination, Tokyo, they felt Japan’s largest temblor since records began.

Feel free to share you honeymoon horror stories.

Oh, and happy anniversary, Mrs. Editor.

Burka blues: Arab ambassador divorces wife after discovering she’s cross-eyed and bearded

An Arab ambassador in Dubai has had his marriage annulled after discovering his new wife is cross-eyed and has a beard.

As we learned during Watergate, the cover-up is always worse than the crime

You gotta figure this is going to happen occasionally when you live in a society where sexy is defined as “Did you see that chick’s eyes? Hubba hubba.”

An Arab ambassador in Dubai has had his marriage annulled after discovering his new wife is cross-eyed and has a beard, Gulf News reported on Wednesday, citing sources close to the case.

The ambassador, who was not named, petitioned a court in the emirate for a divorce and compensation of 500,000 dirhams ($136,202) for money spend on gifts, the UAE daily reported.

The man only found out about his wife’s appearance after the couple had signed a marriage contract and the husband wanted to kiss his spouse, the newspaper said.

The woman, a Gulf national, had worn a niqab each time they had met, it added.

“Every time the couple met, the bride would do her best not to reveal her entire face,” the source was quoted as saying.

“He claimed to the sharia court officials that when he wanted to kiss his wife-to-be, he discovered that she was bearded and cross-eyed as well.”

But she had a really nice personality.

Misery loves company, especially gay company

Providing a reality check, Radical Women spokeswoman Alison Thorne told the Melbourne rally that marriage was an oppressive institution designed to condemn women to lives of slavery, but same-sex couples should nevertheless be equally entitled to it.

alison-thorneThis news just in from Australia:

“Providing a reality check, Radical Women spokeswoman Alison Thorne told the Melbourne rally that marriage was an oppressive institution designed to condemn women to lives of slavery, but same-sex couples should nevertheless be equally entitled to it.”

The organization’s new slogan is, “We’re here. We’re queer. We’re demand equal misery.”

(Note: The above comment was a cheap joke certainly not aimed at our lovely and talented wives with whom we are incredibly happy and whom we fear tremendously.)

Filipino senator threatens Alec Baldwin with a beating

Fearing for his life, Alec Baldwin attempts to hide from Philippine Senator Ramon Revilla by disguising himself as the Cat in the Hat
Fearing for his life, Alec Baldwin attempts to hide from Philippine Senator Ramon Revilla by disguising himself as the Cat in the Hat

Annoying Alec Baldwin, star of NBC’s “30 Rock,” told David Letterman that he would love to have more children and that he was “thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point … or a Russian one.”

That didn’t sit well with Philippine Senator Ramon Revilla. He angrily responded that Baldwin’s remark was “insensitive and uncalled for.” He called it an insult to Filipinos.
The senator is a former movie star who still makes an occasional appearance on Philippine TV.

He called Baldwin “arrogant” and noted that the Philippines has a law against mail-order brides.

“Let him try to come here in the Philippines and he’ll see mayhem,” Revilla roared, implying that he would personally administer a beating to the puffy American actor.

Thrilla in Manilla II. Get your tickets now. Our money’s on Revilla.

Is Miss California being recruited by Fox News?
If not, why not?

Carrie Prejean, the California beauty who would have won the Miss USA title had it not been for the militant gay egomaniac Perez Hilton, showed up on Neil Cavuto’s Fox program on Tuesday.

She was fabulous. Warm. Gracious. Intelligent. Well-spoken. Amazingly, she appears to genuinely hold no ill will toward Perez Hilton. And she seems to have all the right points of view to qualify for a job at Fox News.

Here’s one brief exchange between Cavuto and Parjean.

Cavuto: (wondering how she would have answered the question posed to Miss Arizona) What do you think of the bailouts?
Carrie: I don’t feel that taxpayers’ money should be used for bailing out companies. I don’t. Do I agree that they should be used for welfare? No. I don’t.

But then Cavuto got the heart of the matter – Prejean’s plans for the future:

Cavuto: What do you want to be?
Carrie: You know, I’m not sure. I’m continuing my modeling career and I’m not sure how far that’s going to lead me. Maybe get into politics, you never know.
Cavuto: You know, half of ‘em want to get into TV news.
Carrie: No, I don’t think I want to get into that. Definitely not. Maybe motivational speaking.
Cavuto: (Whistles) Whew. Breathe a sigh of relief there. OK, good. Because I don’t need the competition. I just want to avoid that.
Carrie: I know.

Carrie Prejean. Smarter than Perez Hilton. More attractive than Paris Hilton. And vice versa, too.

60-year old Saudi man forbidden to have sex
with his 8-year old wife

The President of the United States bowing to the King of a country that allows 60-year old men to marry girls younger than his daughters Malia and Sasha.
The President of the United States bowing to the King of a country that allows 60-year old men to marry girls younger than his daughters Malia and Sasha.
Great news from Saudi Arabia. Really great news. A Saudi court has ruled that a 60-year old Saudi man cannot have sex with his 8-year old wife.

Ahhh, but don’t break out the champagne quite yet. The court didn’t annul the marriage nor condemn the marriage nor even raise an eyebrow over the marriage. It just said the old geezer couldn’t violate the girl until she reached puberty.

Justice Minister Muhammad Issa said he wanted to end to the “arbitrary” way in which Saudi parents marry off underage girls. But he said nothing about outlawing the practice. Not a word.

This brings up a few questions for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg:

Is this one of those international laws you want to use as precedent in American law? If you’re not following the United States Constitution, how do you determine which international laws to follow and which ones to ignore? Will your choices as “arbitrary” as those of the Saudi judge? And finally, are you really as friggin’ uninformed and un-American as you appear to be?

Just wondering.

New dating site is exactly what the angry IslamoFascist needs to meet the woman of his dreams

taliban_singles_online
You may have noticed the “Muslim Matrimonials” ad that pops up every once in a while in the upper left-hand corner of IHateTheMedia.com. We assume it’s legit.

But where can a jilted jihadist find the woman of his dreams? Where does a socially inept IslamoFascist find true love? And since alcohol is forbidden, what is an unmarried Muslim extremist’s alternative to a single’s bar?

Taliban Singles might be a good idea. Maybe even Osama Bin-laden would relax a bit if we could just get the guy laid.

Anyone know a good internet dating site for a guy accused of cutting off his wife’s head?

Buffalo Beheading story above with ironic Muslim Matrimony ad next to it. Click image to see full size, full screen.

About ten days ago, an ad for “Muslim matrimonials” appeared right next to our story about the Muslim TV executive who beheaded his wife. You can see the hilarious juxtaposition on the screen capture above. Click the image or here for a full size, full screen image.

At first we thought our internet advertising provider had merely misinterpreted the context of the key words in the story — Muslim, husband, wife – and placed the ad there by mistake. But we’ve changed our minds. Because these are the smartest companies in the world, damn it, and they don’t make mistakes.

We’ve been deeply touched by this heartfelt effort to help Muzzammil Hassan find love again.

We hope he can find a life with a new woman. Or 25 to life. Whichever comes first.

NOW’s Statement on the Buffalo Beheading

Story of Buffalo beheading has no legs

Three days ago in Buffalo, NY, Muzzammil Hassan sawed the head off his wife Aasiya Hassan — we’re going to say it — Islamofascist-style in a gift to the press that’s normally insatiable for this type of story. Ironically, Mr. Hassan is the founder of Bridges TV network, formed to improve the image of Muslim-Americans in the U.S. So where’s the story?

Conservative commentators knew there would be just token press, and they were proven right. If it were a Christian (or any non-media-protected group), it would have been all over television and print media. But, just three days out, and we see that not only does the poor wife no longer have a head, but the story has no legs. Continue reading “Story of Buffalo beheading has no legs”

Muslim leader in Buffalo loses his mind, wife loses her head

buffalo_beheading_coupleIn one of the strangest ironies yet, the founder of the BridgesTV network that was formed to improve the image of Muslim-Americans in the United States was just arrested for beheading his wife.

Muzzammil Hassan, a prominent Buffalo, New York area businessman, is charged with second-degree murder for beheading wife Aasiya Z. Hassan at his company’s office on Thursday.

Will this tragic story get much airplay on the mainstream media? Probably not. The media in this country doesn’t like to report any news that puts a Muslim in bad light.

We just have one question: he beheaded his wife and was only charged with second degree murder? What the hell do you have to do to get charged with first degree murder in Buffalo?
