Whither Logic

This Islamization of France has been obvious fince I was in Paris in the early 1990's.:

"AN OFFICIAL REPORT DEALING WITH religious expression in French schools has become a must read for anyone interested in the Islamization of France. Written under the auspices of the top national education official, Jean-Pierre Obin, the report was not initially released by the Ministry of Education. But it was leaked on the Internet in March and now can be found in its entirety at http://www.proche-orient.info/ and other websites."The Islamization of france has been obvious since I was in Paris in the early 1990's. The frogs, in their typical manner, just ignored the trends in crime (property damage, theft, assault) by closing their eyes. My french friends would tell me not to take certain routes home through the arab districts at night (I was poor and couldn't afford to waste my money on such things as taxis when there were books and croissants to be purchased). I always found their admonitions funny as the "scary" districts of Paris reminded me of something akin to North-End Boston, Buckhead, Atlanta, or Capitol Hill (east) here in DC. I told said frogs many times how a sprint through the Techwood projects in Atlanta would quickly put things into perspective as to scary.

However, When B, my wife, and I toured france on our lune de miel, we ended up in some pretty sketchy outlying towns. As we exited the Massive Centrale and continued towards Cassis, some of the towns we passed WERE scary. All arab, no froggy constables to be seen......just quiet, dark, towns where you could feel the evil. It was as if our entering these towns (typically right at dusk) caused some rip in the fabric of the township. We never saw anyone on the streets or an open shop but the presence of inhabitants was obvious. It WAS SCARY. We both could feel that we were not safe. Thank God, off to Cassis and we forgot.

After law school and the bar in 2003, we returned to the frog land we so adore and spent a month in Southern france near Béziers. On a couple of day trips, B and I went to Montpellier, Marseilles, and Nimes (where we get denim from: get it De Nimes). Anyway, same deal in all the port towns.......dusk and everything shuts down tight and its FUCKING spooky. Look, I can defend myself and would die in a second to protect my B, but something is wrong in France. They are scared of the arabs (rightly so) and are doing nothing about it. You know what we did? Went back to the towns where the Sharia wasn't yet practiced. There was no need to be on the streets in the southern port towns after 7pm and I'll bet its the same today in Saint Denis, Paris and Joinville le Pont, Paris.

I have intentionally decapitalized (f)rance, (f)rench and (f)rog but cannot bring myself to so disrespect my beloved Paris. Hell, if it weren't for the inhabitants of france, it would be my favorite place to pass my days.

"Many Muslims said they admired Osama Bin Laden, while they despised George Bush. That's quite interesting, because in the last four years, no one man on Earth has freed more Muslims from tyranny than United States President George W. Bush. Talk about a lack of gratitude --- or maybe there's just something in the Islamic psyche that loves living in tyranny! ":

I heard a sermon a few weeks ago at the Falls Church. The Priest stated that our natural tendency as human beings was to slouch towards enslavement. It was quite well prepared. I'll see if I can get the sermon notes.

Whole Foods is a wonderland molded to accommodate the psyche of the socially-responsible, guilt-ridden liberal--the crunchy Kucinich capitalist."

About Us [ AudioFeast ]

I've been looking for a site that will allow me to download news and other MP3's so that I can listen to them, rather than music on my Ipod Shuffle. Why, considering the dominance of the Ipod in the MP3 player market, does this company not support Ipod? WTF?

Sokal Affair:

Asshole liberals and their big words. Deconstructionism....How 'bout Constuctionism? How about making something. Whiners with too much time on their hands.

"'I was able to prove, conclusively, that conclusiveness is not conclusive.'":


WTF? Those who know me would naturally (and correctly) assume that I am a pompous ass who sees himself as quite brilliant. That being the case (my inexhaustible truth seeking and comprehensive abilities), I admit that the statement supra has confused me. Foucault, notwithstanding with his laborious platitudes and mishistrionic works, couldn't even write something this stupid.

I was able to demonstrate that my demonstration was demonstratively undemonstratable. I could do a peer reviewed thesis on this assininity? Unbelievable. And now this guy is in a cave. I'll bet, and I haven't even read the rest of the article, that this guy does his shopping at Fresh Fields and Dean and Deluca, has his cave fitted with 100Amp Service and a burr style coffee grinder for his esspresso machine. Oh yeah, and bottled water, wouldn't want to catch a case a guardia.

I'm still reading and this has got to be a farce. Deconstruction of gravity, the scientific method, algebra? This guy probably bought Sokal's Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity.

Farce indeed. And published in 1999:

Instapundit.com -"People died, and U.S. military and diplomatic efforts were damaged, because -- let's be clear here -- Newsweek was too anxious to get out a story that would make the Bush Administration and the military look bad.":

Query: When was the last time the press had to correct a reporting error that framed the US or the Administration in a positive light?
Correction:
- "Our May 15th article on Page C19, "GIs give candy, ice cream to Iraqi children" contained factual errors. Corporals Johnson and Rice did NOT give ice cream to any Iraqi children. Information now suggests that the aforementioned members of the military kept the ice cream for themselves.
