A judgement of a French court would be fully enforced by an American court. That's the way things work in the world, treaties and such.

By bad mouthing a French school on the internet in France Chip may end up in a French court with a very expensive French lawyer.

No honorary degree for Obama.

The liberals are howling. Liberal colleges always place politics first when awarding honorary degrees so big deal. I like Arizona State's policy (new policy?) of no honorary degrees to sitting politicians.

I got an email from Peter.  It seems that he has been hospitalized for multiple health problems.  With good fortune they are all survivable.  A cantankerous old bugger like that still has another 20 years to go.  I told him that giving up Fosters caused his problems.

Know any non-violent first-time offenders confined to government prison camps, perhaps as the result of trumped up charges and judges with conflicts of interest?  (And I think you do...)

Contact US Representative Danny K. Davis (D-IL) at 202-225-5641 and let him know that you support HR 1475, formally known as the "Federal Prison Work Incentive Act of 2009," also known as the "Good Time Bill."  

Rep. Davis is sponsoring this bill, which will allow for a reduced period of incarceration for first time, non-violent offenders.  The bill would reduce the sentences of people in federal prisons by increasing the "good time" credit they could receive and save US taxpayers more than 2 billion dollars per year.

You also can email your own representative, using this link.  Be sure to pass this info on to friends and family as well, asking for their support for HR 1475.

Ordinarily we like to see violent convicts stuck so far back in prison they have to pump air in to them (just like Bo Diddley said).  But for non-violent political prisoners whose only crime was daring to compete with the wealthy, entrenched higher education cartel, we think the Al Capone treatment is a bit much.  Let your voice be heard.

WTF - I'm without words. Did they run out of Jews with talent and brains?

It was nice of these degreeinfo posters to remove Jersey from the Queen and make it part of the United Kingdom.

It is amazing how little people know about political geography.

Comrade Obama bends over for Sodomy Arabian King Abdullah:

Quote:Did Obama bow to Saudi king? See video
White House aide speaking anonymously: ‘It wasn’t a bow ... he’s taller than King Abdullah’

April 8, 2009

BY MATTHEW NICKERSON | STAFF REPORTER

A photo of President Obama apparently bowing in front of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia is stirring a royal-size controversy.

The photo and a video were largely ignored by mainstream media outlets but created outrage in some quarters.

“Such an act is a traditional obeisance befitting a king's subjects, not his peer. There is no precedent for U.S. presidents bowing to Saudi or any other royals,” said the conservative Washington Times.

An Obama aide speaking anonymously denied that the president was bowing.

“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” the aide was quoted as saying by Politco.com Wednesday.

That explanation was “absurd,” the conservative Weekly Standard said. And the caption attached to the Getty Images photo said the president was bowing.

The setting was world leaders mingling before their official photo at the G-20 economic summit in London on April 1.

The heads of state were being photographed with Queen Elizabeth II — to whom Obama did not bow, online commenters said.

Some on the Hot Air Web site had fun with the whole affair, offering:

— “That is how they do it in Chicago . . .”

— “He wasn’t bowing . . . he was ducking in case someone threw a shoe.”

Quote:How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

Has he commented about Warnborough on any of the forums?

With several decades of delay, Italy entered the digital era of distance learning in 2006; several online universities were finally duly authorized to operate by then Berlusconi regime.
I was stunned to discover a real barrage, an epidemic of lawsuits, scandals and indignant newspaper articles suddenly discovering a swamp...a poisonous black hole made of kickbacks, dubious shareholders, boiler room enrollment scams and a host of other ills, with indignant journalist invoking then Prodi regime, with its vocal communist component, including former RIFONDAZIONE COMUNISTA secretary Bertinotti, then elected to chair the House.
That such unwanted side effects may at times be present cannot be questioned, but it's trivial...
It is suspicious how such indignant journalists never ran an unanimous campaign against the traditional B&M scene, in spite of recent scandals exposing the ruling cabal stuffed with political party minions, large crowds of relatives of eminent (and politically active) academics...

... and there is no end in sight.
