I just loooove this story.  You guys at Kentucky Fried Chicken, er . . . KFC, you’re my new heroes (even though I keep kosher and can’t eat there).  The only thing missing here is video from what they pulled off on October 22nd.

“World Leader” Col. Sanders Has “Brief Encounter” w/ Libyan Ali Treki, UN Prez

Normally, I’m against terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.  But the United Nations–the one legitimate terrorist target–isn’t technically U.S. soil, and I really wish some terrorists had dreamed up this hilarious Col. Sanders scheme first.  I also love how UN officials are backtracking and trying to excuse their huge blunder.  Sorry, guys, you were p3wned.  Borat/Bruno, eat your heart out.

Red-faced United Nations officials on Monday admitted to a major security lapse after a UN guard helped Kentucky Fried Chicken’s “Colonel Sanders” gain access to restricted areas.

The guard escorted the white-suited intruder past security barriers, where he got a handshake from the UN General Assembly president, Dr. Ali A. Treki of Libya. . . .

Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that residents of the People’s Republican of Taxachusetts hate the flag.  We know they’re the state that elected Ted Kennedy over and over.  And recently, residents of Amherst, Massachusetts expressed verbal Lewinskys to Gitmo detainees whom they want living in their community.

Now, this–gym members in Marblehead, Massachusetts are offended by the American flag.  Yeah, the location is appropriate, since most of these folks have marbles in their head.  I like the Klaus guy, who is one of the few that seems to get it.  Three cheers for gym owner Mark Shea.  Not for putting up the flag, but for creating a litmus test to show us who the real Americans are.  How much you wanna bet that every person offended by the flag also voted for Obama?  (Thanks to reader Mistress Dee for the tip.)

On Tuesday Night, on his “Late Night with David Letterman” show, David Letterman talked about how he was miffed that Oprah was hosting Sarah Palin as the former Alaskan Governor’s first interview upon her ghostwriter’s new book release, “Going Rogue: An American Life.”  Letterman joked that the two women had something in common:  “They both helped elect Barack Obama.”

Then, Letterman detailed his new campaign to get Palin to come on his show.  He detailed all of the messages that have been left with “Tina”–the public relations person at Palin’s publishing company, Harper Collins–requesting an appearance on Letterman.

Had he lived, one thing is for certain.  Michael Jackson’s concert would have been amazing (minus the global warming/green BS).

“This Is It,” out in theaters today, chronicles rehearsals for the late Jackson’s planned fifty concert dates in a tour of the same name.  I expected to hate it.  But I was pleasantly surprised. It shows us a Michael Jackson who was intensely involved in every note, every shot, every movement of his show. We see an intense perfectionist, but also a guy who was extremely nice to all in his crew and respected and loved by them.  (At the end of his rehearsals, Jackson verbally returns the feeling, telling his dancers, musicians and assorted crew, “I love you.  We’re all family.”)

“This Is It” is the next best thing to going to a Jackson concert.  Audiences will see not just Jackson and his dancers performing many of his major hits, but also elaborate videos–essentially mini-movies–shot to go along with them and be shown on-stage at his shows.

Michael Jackson is clearly not the dying, out-of-it druggie we were told about.  The movie consistently shows us a Michael Jackson who is not the sickly, exhausted, weak, but a guy who has more energy at age 50 than most men have at age 30.  I was amazed at his strength and stamina, even if his legs were bone thin.  Jackson’s non-stop dance moves and endless supply of energy through long rehearsals are simply fascinating.  And he’s extremely lucid, engaging, and funny (sometimes unintentionally).

You know I love free stuff.  Who doesn’t?  And in this tough economy, why not?

Don’t hate me if it doesn’t work, but I just signed up for my free Snuggie, in exchange for signing up for Snuggie’s e-mail newsletter.  You don’t even pay shipping and handling.

Early this morning, I posted news regarding the Chicago federal Joint Terrorism Task Force’s recent raid on an Islamic slaughterhouse.

Federal agents involved in the Joint Terrorism Task Force investigating Tahawar Hussain Rana told me there would be a press conference earlier today with more info on the Kinsman, Illinois halal Islamic slaughterhouse with more details on the terrorism plot.  They told me it would be big news.

Apparently, the men running the Islamic slaughterhouse and an “immigration service” were Muslims who planned terrorist attacks on Denmark in response to the publishing of Mohammed cartoons in the Jyllands-Posten newspaper, several years ago.

Here’s some of the Justice Department press release put out this morning:

Two Chicago men have been arrested on federal charges for their alleged roles in conspiracies to provide material support and/or to commit terrorist acts against overseas targets, including facilities and employees of a Danish newspaper that published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in 2005, federal law enforcement officials announced today.

So, tonight I’m going to screen the much-hyped “This Is It.”  No, sadly, not the great classic pop song by Kenny Loggins with back-up vocals by the man with the sexiest male singing voice in contemporary music (Michael McDonald).  It’s the Michael Jackson movie that looks like it could be “This Is Sh**.”  I’ll find out, tonight, and try to post my review by Midnight, when the embargo lifts.

There’s way too much hype over this.  We have to be there by a half hour before the movie starts.  It’s like being forced to wait in line for Michael Jackson concert tickets, even though the dude is dead.  And, as we all know, if he were alive, there would be no line, and few would care.  We’ll see if it’s worth it, but in my experience, no movie is, especially a Michael Jackson movie.  Again, stay tuned for my review late tonight.  Boy, those adopted Jackson kids are gonna make some coin on this.  My fave part of this whole thing is scammer dad Joe Jackson alleging that there’s a double instead of Michael Jackson in the movie . . . an attempt to shake down the estate to keep him quiet.

I can’t wait until, “This Is It, Freddy v. Jason v. Joe Jackson and Germaine,   XCVII.”

Not This . . .

It just goes to show how far America has declined when our idea of what constitutes “history” and what should be designated a “national historic landmark” is this oafish lowlife’s gas station.  Remember, this is the anti-Semitic Presidential bro who took $220,000 in not-to-be-repaid “loans” from Libya’s Muammar Khaddafi while his brother was Prez, using the excuse: “The only thing I can say is there is a hell of a lot more Arabians than there is Jews.”

Looks like Billy Carter’s gas station in Plains, Ga., is about to be recognized as a national historic landmark.

If the U.S. House gives its OK this afternoon to HR 1471, the  National Park Service site honoring President Jimmy Carter will be doubled to include the Billy Carter Service Station museum. . . .

With all the political correctness and boy who cried wolf baloney, it seems that no-one pays attention when a real ethnic slur is uttered. They’re too busy attacking Rush Limbaugh for comments he never made.

ABC/ESPN college football analyst Bob Griese was suspended for a game when he uttered an ethnic slur on live TV, saying that Colombian driver Juan Pablo Montoya was not listed in the top driver standings because he was “out having a taco.”  Yes, that’s bigoted.  I wouldn’t like it if someone said I didn’t do this or that because I was too busy having a bagel with lox.  Griese apologized twice on the air and he was suspended for just one game.  That’s an appropriate response. (No Rush Limbaugh treatment for him.)

Bigots: ESPN’s Bob Griese & ABC Radio/WJR’s Steve Stewart

(Griese isn’t exactly the most verbally classy dude. When his son Brian Griese’s NFL team was close to beating the NFL undefeated season record he set, he publicly wished for his son to fail so he could hold onto his record. Father of the Year, this guy.)

But, then, there is Detroit’s ABC Radio/Citadel Communications station, WJR–which runs the syndicated talk shows of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Vannity, and Mark Levin.  Last week, WJR’s program Director Stephen Stewart, the station’s second-in-command, who also hosts a show on the station, repeatedly referred to Black people with the phrase “Ho’ Dee Do’.”  It’s a reference to a racist joke about Black men running to catch an elevator.  “Ho’ Dee Do’ ” = Hold The Door–get it?  I was shocked that in today’s day and age, Stewart (who also doubles as a volunteer police officer) would utter that on the air unphased. . . and get away with it.  It’s at least on par with Griese’s comment, and probably worse.  And, unlike Griese, he never apologized and, instead, laughed at his unoriginal, cheesy, and racist joke.

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE ****

What an ignoramus and/or liar Glenn Beck is.  Take your pick, as it’s definitely one of those.  Yesterday–amid his usual histrionics and pseudo-male drama queen antics–Beck, for like the gazillionth time, gushed over Hezbollah’s and Syria’s man in Congress, “former” career criminal Darrell Issa, a/k/a “Jihad Darrell.” I’ve written about this before, on one of the last times Beck expressed his absurd man-crush on this jihad enabler.
