The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Red (Crescent) Storm Rising
Tom Clancy's first second novel Red Storm Rising
described the outbreak of
World War III via a Russian invasion of Europe. That scenario thankfully
did not come to pass. But now we have a new Red Menace summoning the dogs
of war —
the Red Crescent of Islam.
The murderous Iranian regime announced yesterday that they would send two ships to Gaza this week. One ship will be filled with "relief workers."
Sure... Relief workers.
The Age reported:
The Iranian Red Crescent has decided to send two aid ships to Gaza this week and has called for volunteers to act as relief workers and accompany the vessels, the state IRNA news agency reported.
Iranian Red Crescent director Abdolrauf Adibzadeh told IRNA late on Sunday that the decision to send the ships was taken after a meeting with the foreign ministry.
"One ship will carry donations made by the people and the other will carry relief workers. The ships will be sent to Gaza by end of this week," Adibzadeh said.
Who wants to bet that the Iranian "volunteers" acting as "relief workers" will be culled solely from the ranks of the Revolutionary Guard? Unlike last week's Turkish brigands this flotilla will be openly spoiling for a fight.
But, what choice does Israel have really? The "aid" ships must be diverted. An Iranian supply route directly into Gaza will allow Hamas to rearm with impunity. Rockets, and worse, will once again rain down on innocent Israeli citizens.
Adding fuel to the fire is Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan who has no intention of backing down from his stated desire to break the Gaza blockade. He is spending millions on new "aid" ships while openly advocating for the destruction of Israel.
It would appear that Admiral Mullen's concern for "unintended consequences" has now materialized. Deploying US ships to the Persian Gulf would appear to open the sealanes to Israel from Turkey. The prospect of a Turkish Iranian force "escorting" a peace flotilla to Gaza is nothing short of an invasion — a provocation to war.
If we had a Real President none of this would be happening now. While President Training Pants devotes his time to frivolity and rubbing elbows with celebrities the storm clouds of war gather over the Middle East.
Professor Jacobson asks, "Can Israel Survive A Second Obama Term?"
The real question is, can the world survive Obama's first term?
UPDATE 07 Jun 2010 13:47:
Correction: Red Storm Rising was Tom Clancy's second novel.
It was the first book of his that I read, hence my confusion.
