Helpful hint #37: Always check your fuel gauge before you go to war

The Daily Mail UK has the full story on the empty tanks:

Arab involvement in the Libya operation began amid farce yesterday when the first jets from Qatar came close to ditching in the sea.

The four warplanes were blown off course and then nearly ran out of fuel.

The Qataris were initially refused permission to land in Cyprus, which opposed the military action, but touched down at the island’s Larnaca Airport after the pilots declared a ‘fuel emergency and demanded the right to land.

The planes then flew on to the Greek island of Crete to join the air armada patrolling the no-fly zone.

The incident strengthens the fear that the Arab support which will boost the legitimacy of the conflict which has been slow to materialise.

Twelve reasons awarding soccer’s World Cup 2022 to Qatar was a tragic, horrible mistake

There are some things we love about the World Cup – the fans. Especially the female fans. And we just can’t imagine that Qatar, a strict Muslim country, is going to allow the enthusiastic displays of fan support that make the World Cup worth watching.

We don’t know soccer from cricket. Give us baseball and good ol’ American football.

What the hell was that Qatari diplomat smoking?

Now we learn that the Qatari diplomat who was arrested for lighting up in the restroom aboard a flight bound for Denver may not have been lighting up a cigarette. He was lighting up a “one hitter.” Unless you’re talking about baseball, we don’t have the foggiest idea what a one hitter is. Shep Smith doesn’t seem to know, either.

Unless you’re talking about baseball, we don’t have the foggiest idea what a one hitter is. Shep Smith doesn’t seem to know, either (although his denial seems a bit nuanced to us).

So we went to the ultimate source of all knowledge, the Oracle of Wikipedia, to find out.

A one hitter is a miniature pipe designed for a single inhalation, or “hit” of a smokable product, normally marijuana.

This pipe may be marketed together with a rectangular (or sometimes cylindrical) wooden case with two compartments, the larger to store the herb and a narrower, cylindrical compartment to store the pipe. The case is sometimes called a dugout, hitter box, pinch hitter, a pinchey, a tote-a-smoke, or a pinger (because it makes a “ping” sound when opened).

New Obama policy requires twisting of logic and tongues

State department official attempting to discuss what used to be called "terrorism'
State department official attempting to discuss what used to be called "terrorism'

According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, Sunni Islamic scholar Sheik Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi recently delivered a sermon on Qatari TV. Here’s part of what he said:

A few days ago, a Muslim asked me if we were allowed to possess WMDs — nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. I said to him: “Yes, we must possess such weapons, but not use them.” We must possess such weapons in order to strike terror in our enemies–“Strike terror in the hearts of the enemies,” and frighten them.

Obviously, the sermon must have been delivered prior to the Obama administration’s decision that terrorist acts are no longer to be called terrorist acts, but rather “man-caused disasters.”

Just as obviously, this new terminology will cause twisting of both logic and tongues. Because if the act is now called a “man-caused disaster,” what do you call the person who commits the act?

A man-caused disaster-er?
