The St. Louis Rams just announced that the team is being sold by relatives of late owner Georgia Frontiere to Shahid Khan, a Pakistani Muslim (who is named for Islamic martyrdom) from Illinois, who owns Flex-N-Gate Corporation, an auto parts manufacturer.  But what’s interesting is that when Rush Limbaugh was a minority partner in a venture to buy the Rams, the NFL and its Commissioner, Roger Goodell, objected.

Not so with Khan, even though  he’s had a number of questionable dealings with the IRS and tax problems.  Normally those would be a problem with the NFL ownership committee.  But maybe the NFL makes exceptions in the interest of Muslim affirmative action.  Hey, it’s a good thing the football is no longer made of real pigskin, right?  And in case you were wondering, his first name means “martyr,” as in martyr for Islam.  Islamic terrorists call themselves shahids.

So who is Shahid Kahn? . . . He and his wife are involved in some on-going financial legal battles. . . . Khan and his wife, Ann, filed law suits last summer in Champaign County Circuit Court against several financial advisors. The couple claims they lost money when misled on tax-advantaged investment strategies. According to court records, the IRS investigated the Khan’s tax returns between 1999 and 2003. They found potentially abusive [DS: translation, “illegal”] tax shelters involving $250 million.

Some people really, really, really have waaaaay.  toooo.  muuuuuch. time on their hands.  Such is the case with some outfit called the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research.  (Hey, Bob, what do you do for a living?  Oh, I’m Vice President of flow intensity engineering for the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research.  That’s an answer I’d give to a talkative passenger on a plane to shut him/her up.)

Prince Charles of Tampon: Islam’s New Envoy to U.S.

Yesterday, this bizarro organization attacked me, claiming I caused men to “conclude that menstrual contact of any kind must be avoided.”  And just how did I cause men to commit this horrible crime against  humanity?  Well, I mocked Prince Charles–Islam’s self-appointed ambassador of tolerance–for saying he wished he could be Camilla Parker Bowles’ tampon in taped phone conversations with her, while he was married to Princess Diana.  Sad to say, this organization has a blog written by some “dude” (and I use the term “dude” very tentatively, here) who is all up in arms about me:

A number of sheep who haven’t a clue on national security but echo Drudge Report headlines are all up in arms about the British courts forcing the UK to disclose confidential US intelligence material allegedly showing “torture” of Al-Qaeda terrorist and Gitmo detainee Binyam Mohamed (see also, here), who was a protege of Abdullah Al-Muhajir a/k/a Jose Padilla and traveled with him.  The Ethiopian claimed he was “touring” Pakistan, and the intelligence material actually shows nothing about “torture.”

But to longtime readers, it ain’t news.  That’s because I wrote about this four months ago.  DebbieSchlussel.com Flashback:

Binyam Mohamed: Not Tortured, But, Yes, a Terrorist

UK High Court: Hey, Let’s Share U.S. Intelligence w/ Terrorists, Islamists, October 19, 2009

And as I asked then, I’ll ask again here:  why is the U.S. sharing intelligence with a country dominated by a soon-to-be Muslim majority?  More from my column back in October:

After Sunday’s Super Bowl, everyone was crowing about the Snickers Betty White/ Abe Vigoda ad, which I thought was over-rated (plus, who knew Vigoda was still alive?).

But here’ s the ad Snicker’s didn’t run, below.  At first I thought, hmmm . . . Aretha Franklin ain’t exactly who you want in a Snickers ad.  After all, too much Snickers = Aretha bod.  But I like it better than the one that ran during the Big Game.  What do you think? I prefer to think of Snickers as the liberal candy bar–any way you slice it, it comes up nuts.

Love me some Soundgarden (and Chris Cornell), especially this one. Depressing lyrics, but I love it anyway, especially the guitars. It’s part of my workout music.

How would I know that this could be my fate?

Sir Elton John is scheduled to perform a concert in Tel Aviv, Israel in June.  But the British Committee for Universities of Palestine (which sounds like a sanitized name for HAMAS Savages Auxiliary, London Falafel and Polygamy Hut Branch) is urging John to cancel his concert.  Per usual, it’s the same old far-left, self-hating Jewish suspects who signed the letter: Haim Bresheeth, Mike Cushman, Steven Rose, Jonathan Rosenhead–four college profs.

It’s funny.  Supporters of those who would conduct the beheading execution of the gay Elton John (because he’s gay) in a heartbeat, are now telling him he should cancel his concert in the gay-friendliest country and city in the world.  So, it’s kinda funny–not to mention hypocritical–when this anti-Israel group cites John’s funding of AIDS research as some sort of reason not to play in Israel.  Um, Israel is at the forefront of AIDS (and cancer) research.  How much AIDS research do ya think they’re doing in Gaza City, Tul Qarem, or Ramallah, where being Elton John is punishable by death? The quartet of Israel haters writing the letter cite Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch reports against Israel, but conveniently forgot those groups’ reports against the Palestinians. Nice.

So far, to his credit, Elton John has ignored them, just like Madonna, Paul McCartney, and Phil Collins have (all three went on with performances in Israel, with Madonna wrapping the Israeli flag around herself and daughter Lourdes on-stage).  (John is quite independent, even coming out against gay marriage and California Proposition 8.)

But, FYI, Carlos Santana gave in to the demands of the Israel haters and canceled his Israeli concert.  No more Santana songs (or shoes–he has a line of high-fashion women’s shoes) for me, you spineless has-been.

Oh, and by the way if you want to send hate-mail to these four idiotic, anti-Israel Jewish professors (and add them to mailing lists for things like Viagra and Cialis, which they clearly need), you can contact them at bricup@bricup.org.uk.

I was up in arms about the Bush Administration push to share our nuclear technology and nuclear security info with the United Arab Emirates.  Now, Barack Hussein Obama wants to do the same with Palestinian-dominated Jordan.  It’s the same difference . . . and probably even worse.

Now, you might say, “Well, Jordan is a moderate Muslim nation, our ally, and we’re friendly with King Abdullah.”  Um, think again.  Jordan is a HOTBED of Islamic terrorism and extremism.

Jordan is where a lot of Al-Qaeda and Palestinian Islamic terrorism is planned and based.  The list is a Who’s Who:  Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi . . . a Palestinian from Zarqa, Jordan; Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal Al-Balawi . . . a Palestinian, who hung out in Jordan, and recently blew up eight men at a CIA base, including seven CIA operatives. And the list goes on and on and on.  Plus, there are all those Al-Qaeda bombings in Jordan, like the homicide bombing at a wedding.

Don’t forget that roughly 90% or more of Jordanians are actually Palestinian Muslims . . . Palestinian Muslims who fomented the violent riots that resulted in 10,000 of them being killed in Black September in 1970, when they had an uprising against King Hussein and tried for the umpteenth time to assassinate him. And poll after poll after poll shows that Jordan is among the most anti-American, pro-Bin Laden, pro-homicide bombing countries.  There is very little difference between much of Jordan and Gaza, and in fact, Jordan is often used as a base for weaponry and supplies for terrorism against Israel launched from Gaza.

And with a majority of Palestinian subjects ruled by a minority Hashemite king, Jordan isn’t all that stable.  Ultimately, it could be taken over by Palestinians and is actually the real Palestinian State.  If that happens, guess whose nuke info will be in Palestinian terrorist hands?  Ours, that’s whose.  Jordan recently discovered uranium ore, and will develop nuclear weapons that could ultimately be very easily used against its neighbor, Israel.

And yet we are gonna share our nukes and nuke technology with them? Pure lunacy to do so.

More:

Jordan is in advanced talks with the Obama administration to conclude a civilian nuclear-cooperation agreement with the U.S., according to Jordanian and U.S. officials.

Didn’t Jack White and The White Stripes get the memo?  Dissing our fighting men–especially when you’re a C-List rocker who hasn’t really quite made the big-time–is soooo passe.

Jack White: Thirsty for a Drink of STFU Juice

And it’s a great way to turn off about half of your potential fan-base.  Hasn’t America grown tired of punks like White, attacking those who volunteer to serve, while he sits around strumming his guitar?  I know I’m well beyond tired of it.

White is upset that the White Stripes song, “Fell in Love With a Girl” was used in a Super Bowl Air Force Reserves recruiting ad.  While I’m all for harvesting the value of copyrighted music, lyrics, and performances, White’s objection goes further.  Here’s what this cretin wrote on the White Stripes website:

The White Stripes take strong insult and objection to the Air Force Reserves presenting this advertisement with the implication that we licensed one of our songs to encourage recruitment during a war that we do not support. . . .  We simply don’t want to be a cog in the wheel of the current conflict.

****  SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE  ****

As you may know, this year, Michigan will pick a new Governor.  There really aren’t any good choices on either side of the aisle (and I’ve changed my mind on Pete Hoekstra–which I’ll let you know about in an upcoming post).  One of the unknown candidates seeking the Republican nomination for Governor is multi-millionaire businessman Rick Snyder.  During Sunday’s Super Bowl, he ran this ad in Michigan, in which he characterizes himself as “One Tough Nerd.” (It cost him $1 million, and it was worth it ‘cuz he’s getting a ton of free media out of it.)

It’s cute.  But do I want a policy wonk boy wonder nerd genius as Governor?  Maybe.  Not sure. Far too many conservatives have dismissed smarts and intellect as “elitism” and the domain of the Democrats (and they’ve gone for a few select bubbly airheads full of ignorance instead), which is a mistake and doom for the movement and for America.  Still, I like the business angle better, but that’s been done and didn’t work when an airhead named Dick DeVos ran four years ago and got trounced by Democrat incumbent Jennifer Granholm.  He needs to combine “nerd” WITH “successful biz.” So, would you vote for a guy who plays the Nerd card?  It reminds me of that famous line in “Revenge of the Nerds”:  The Nerds saw me naked! And then there’s, “I’m not kissing a nerd.”

Not sure how conservative Snyder is because his answers haven’t been forthcoming on some stuff, but he has some good mainstream conservative people behind him. We’ll see. I don’t rule him out.

**** UPDATE: So, I was thinking. If Rick Snyder calls himself a nerd because he got his college degree, MBA, and Law Degree by age 23, what does that make me (since I earned all three by age 24–and no, I didn’t do any joint degrees; earned ’em all separately)? Who you callin’ “nerd,” Rick? Just kidding (but I was never a nerd, never!). And, of course, I don’t have his junior Bill Gates bankroll, though I don’t think that’s the nerd part.

Airhead faux-conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck of ABC’s anti-male hag-fest, “The View,” isn’t just about outing Federal Air Marshals to Islamic terrorists.  She also supports allowing gays to be out in the open in the U.S. military, because–she claims–it’s all about their ability to “be free.”  See the video below and see how many times she and fellow ditz Meghan McCain use the word “like” (hint:  so many times, it could be  a great drinking game). She’s for ending “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” which would be a big mistake.

Um, no, our military is about defending our country, not about gays’ ability to be free inside a military organization.  It’s about keeping the rest of us free. There are many freedoms soldiers give up to serve.  And not allowing free and open homosexuality in the military is about the cohesion of the unit.  It’s the same issue with women in the military, especially in places like ships, where whole ships of military chicks need to be sent home at taxpayer expense because they end up pregnant.  Straight men in the military don’t wanna be sleeping next to guys who wanna sleep with them.  But the thought hasn’t occurred to Ms. Vacant.  Nor thought, period.

What you do in your bed and behind closed doors is your business.  But what you do in tight quarters on the taxpayer dole with everyone watching isn’t.  It’s not just everyone’s biz, it’s a national security issue. Bret Stephens has a great column in today’s Wall Street Journal about gays in the military and responds to many argument the libs put forth. At the same time, he also discusses how it hasn’t hampered the Israeli Defense Forces to have openly gay soldiers. (But we’re not Israel, even if both are liberal western democracies.) It’s a pretty good analysis, even if I don’t agree with all of it.
