Update: Much is being made of the fact in the media that the gunman is blonde and a “native Norwegian” and that he has no ties to any terrorist organisation. It seems a little early to be able to state the latter without more investigation -and an islamist group has already claimed responsibility for the bombing. So, we will see. The headline stands until then.
Update 2: Below the fold, two interesting comments from readers at Belmont Club

‘DHS Video Characterizes White Americans as Most Likely Terrorists
A new promotional video released by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes white middle class Americans as the most likely terrorists, as Big Sis continues its relentless drive to cement the myth that mad bombers are hiding around every corner, when in reality Americans are just as likely to be killed by lightning strikes or peanut allergies.
The video is part of Homeland Security’s $10 million dollar “See Something, Say Something” program that encourages Americans to report “suspicious activity,” which in every case throughout history has been a trait of oppressive, dictatorial regimes.
In the course of the 10 minute clip, a myriad of different behaviors are characterized as terrorism, including opposing surveillance, using a video camera, talking to police officers, wearing hoodies, driving vans, writing on a piece of paper, and using a cell phone recording application…’

‘A controversial billboard that caused community outcry, and that the Minister for Women slammed as ‘degrading’, has been removed.
….Minister for Women Karen Struthers said the wording was an explicit sexual reference that degrades women.
It didn’t cause “community outcry” at all–a few clowns made the usual predictable noises, is all. The real outrage here is that there’s something called a “Minister for Women”.

“Shadow Of A Sword” is now available Wabbit is totally absorbed already and expects to remain that way for a few hours at least. 99c to download, and that has to be the bargain of the year!

An excerpt–and there are dozens more I could give already, less than halfway through the book:
“The Constitution is the supreme law, the foundation for all other law. If it doesn’t mean exactly what its text says—the public meanings of the words as ordinary people understand them—then no one can possibly know what it means. But if no one can know what the Constitution means, then no one can know whether any other law conforms to it. At that point, all that matters is the will of whoever’s in power. And that’s an exact definition of tyranny.”

to buy Gecko a new watch. The Omega agent wants $250 to replace the battery (yet again) in her $2,000 Seamaster and she’s sick and tired of being ripped off. The last time–just over a year ago–it took four months for a new battery and seals to be fitted!

A Citizen Eco-Drive might be a good idea…..no battery to replace. Besides, Julia might give her a solar-power tax discount.

‘…But in Obama’s America, there’s little human decency to be found.  The rules have changed, and they consist of the new three Rs: rage, revenge, and reparations.  And this malignant game of Blaming Whitey will go on and on until we call it what it is (hate), walk away from the table, and refuse to play.’

‘The Government appointed former National Prime Minister Jenny Shipley and three others to a Canterbury quake panel without advertising the roles and is paying them more than twice the normal rate…’
Once you’re in the gang, you’re set for life.

They are hauling a 200 ton lump of coal so they can add Obama to Mount Rushmore …..

‘Opponents of global warming should be given less coverage by the BBC than the climate change lobby, the corporation will rule.
The BBC is set to publish a report tomorrow on its science output announcing changes to rules on impartiality.
Following the overhaul, programme makers and broadcasters will be compelled to give less prominence to those who oppose the scientific communuity’s majority view….
Now, get the final sentence in this item:
“As a result of the review, insiders say that the BBC is likely to challenge groups such as Greenpeace ‘more vigorously’.”          source
