A strange thing happened in the past few days. On Thursday I was trying to get on the blog and write more comments about the previous post. The whole thing was shut down for the day. When I checked back yesterday, I realized that comment #4, written by me, and comment #5, written by LBOAYM, were deleted. I waited another day and the comments are still gone. So I am writing a new post which are based on the last two comments with additional info that have come out the last couple of days. If this post do not get published, then I will have to think that maybe I am being watched by some Big Brother who doesn't not like my blog!
I wrote before that bin Laden's pictures were released by Obama to show the world that he had been converted to our side. He was shown lying on the couch in his pajamas and blanket, using a remote to channel surf. He does not do anything all day except play with his computer and plan war games. He was living a typical American male's life. His advantage is that he has many wives, tons of money and people who bring food and play things from the outside. The last couple of days revealed that they had bought him pornography! So now he is more American male than we realized even couple of days ago! It is also shown that he dies his hair which again is typical of middle aged males in this country! His followers should take note as their leader had clearly defected before he died.
The other story that I commented on was just beginning three days ago. I did not get the story of the Wall Street trader right. His name is Raj Rajaratnam. He was not arrested as I wrote but was already convicted. He is not Indian but of Sri Lanka descent. I thought the whole thing looked suspicious as most of the big time traders are white and yet only this South Asian guy is going to jail. I stand by this opinion because the prosecutor in the case is of Indian descent. It is typical that when prosecutors don't want to look prejudice to use people of the same race or ethnicity as the defender to prosecute the case. Think Chris Darden vs O.J. or the Jewish prosecutors and judge in the Rosenberg spy case. I know Sri Lankan is not the same as Indian but I am sure they have to go out of their way to find any South Asian to take this case. LBOAYM made a good point about Raj may look like a terrorist so it is a good target for the government. Well, I looked it up and Raj was known to be a donor to the Tamil Tigers, a rebel group against the government of Sri Lanka. The Tamil Tigers are considered a terrorist group by the U.S. government. Hmm, again this looks suspicious. Now if they next prosecute a guy from Dearborn who supports the Detroit Tigers, then we will have seen a pattern for sure.

In case Big Brother is watching, I just want to say that I bleed red, white and blue and God bless America!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about a comment #5 that I wrote, but do you see it now and what did I supposedly say?
Your latest blog about bin Laden hits to the core of what I always believed and that is people are all the same no matter what religion or nationality.
It's just too bad that we have to go to war over things like religion or color of our skin because at the very root, we are all the same and I truly believe that there are more similarities than not if we all can just put aside the differences.
I guess it's just in our nature to hate and it's often been written that this hate will lead to the end of us. Hopefully this will not be the case.
Not to change subjects but did you hear that Kim Johnston (Hines Ward's partner in DWTS) was rushed to the hospital last week? They had footage of her in a stretcher and they had her head immobilized. This could be a huge blow to Ward's chances to win the coveted Mirror Ball trophy if she cannot compete.

After several more days, comments 4 and 5 from the previous post have not shown up and so apparently have lost to cyberspace. This post is still alive and so Big Brother is giving me some lead ways.
ReplyDeleteYou are very right about people are basically the same. Most people just want a better life for themselves and their family. Most people, unfortunately, can be easily manipulated by bad guys or extremists when their lives are not going as well they wish. It is easy for people to target foreigners or people of other religion when they are looking for someone to blame. Even in a rich country like ours, when the economy is bad, we blame illegal immigrants or China. So you can see how easy it is for people like bin Laden to recruit by telling down-trodden Muslims that their bad condition is the result of the U.S. and Europeans doing.
We are both on target so far. Hines Ward and Kirstie Alley are both in the finals. Remember I said that Alley will make the finals even though she is not one of the three bests? Alley has gone as far as she can go. She is not in the same class as Ward and Kane. It is going to be a toss-up. But if Ward is within couple of points of Kane, I think he wins because he is more well known. At least in the past athletes seems to outpoll B list celebrities.
I guess it all comes down to the free style. I can't believe that Alley is getting those big scores from the judges. Sure she has good musicality but I think her technique is poor and she's limited physically to what she can do.
ReplyDeleteIf she can pull off a fantastic freestyle, look out, I guess, but I think the other two will be incredible and hard to top.
See ya at the mirrorball trophy!
