**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES ****
When they say “Asian,” is it a euphemism for Muslim Pakistani as in the UK, or is it “Asian” as in the way they used it in the Virginia Tech massacre?
I won’t venture a guess, lest I get the gazillions of Nazi-funded Media Matters zombies after me, yet again.
Still, I find it ironic that this agency, which enables illegal aliens in our midst and helps them game the system, has now been attacked and hostages have been taken there. I hope the injured are okay and pray for them, but I’m not going to hold back in saying that it’s to be expected that a place that enables illegal aliens eventually, sooner or later, has these kinds of problems. You play with matches, eventually you’ll ignite a fire.
Hmmm. . . What was the guy’s immigration status? Just asking.

At least four people are shot at the American Civic Association in Binghamton and about 40 people have been taken hostage.

Four people have been removed from the building on stretchers and taken to hospitals. The Binghamton SWAT team is on the scene, along with a negotiator.
The SWAT team is getting ready to re-enter the building. The shooter is still inside, police said.
There are reportedly 41 hostages in the building — 15 in a closet and 26 in the boiler room.
Family members of the hostages and victims are gathering at 232 Main St. in Binghamton, scanner reports indicated.
At least two ambulances from the scene have arrived at Wilson Regional Medical Center. . . .
One male was down with a woman shot in the stomach, according to a police radio. The female victim was a secretary.
Police have since called for 10 ambulances.
Binghamton Mayor Matthew Ryan, who was at the scene, said there was a hostage situation in the Civic Association building, located at 131 Front St. Ryan said the shooter has a high-powered rifle. . . .
The suspect was described as an Asian male, between 5-feet 8-inches and 6 feet tall, wearing a bright green nylon jacket and dark-rimmed glasses. He’s described as being in his 20s. . . .
The American Civic Association helps immigrants and refugees with immigration and personal counseling, resettlement, citizenship, family reunification and translators. It also intervenes with emergencies, including fighting, hunger and homelessness, according to information from the association’s website.

“Immigrants and refugees”? They’re mostly illegal aliens. This falsely-named organization helps them stay here and often become citizens.
One wonders what the immigration status of the hostage taker/shooter is. Stay tuned.
**** UPDATE: Just went to the American Civic Association website. Get this:

Fosters cross cultural understanding for the entire community.
United Way 2009 allocations: Casework and Technical, $26,670; Refugee Program, $5,195

Ah, the good old “cross cultural understanding” BS. Doesn’t seem to have averted a giant crisis here.
And then there’s your United Way contribution. Congrats. If you gave to United Way, you gave to helping their “refugee” program a/k/a helping illegal aliens. Ditto for their “casework.”
And now with this hostage situation, this is an extreme example of karma. You enable the problems, they turn on you.
Read more about this vessel of political correctness and alien invasion, which was founded by 11 illegal aliens.
**** UPDATE #2: As a friend, whose husband works for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), notes:

You realize that now every illegal in that building now gets paroled into the U.S. as a material witness in a capital crime?
Paroled in WITH work authorization!

Sadly, she’s right. Only in America. Whatta country.
**** UPDATE #3: Sadly, 12 or 13 reported dead. Tragic.
**** UPDATE #4: Shooter is identified. But did center aliens violate the law by taking the citizenship test in a language other than English? It appears so.

I’ve been getting e-mail after e-mail from frustrated Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, who tell me that “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” a/k/a Illegal Alien Amnesty is basically in full force. It’s not just the outrageous release of 27 illegal aliens properly arrested in worksite enforcement in the Seattle area. The ICE agents tell me that they are required to fill out seven different forms AND get approval from ICE headquarters in Washington before they can touch a single illegal alien. Things are so bad, one agent said he might start working as a day trader online, from the ICE office. He has little to do, otherwise. I’ll be providing documents and telling you more about that in later posts. Stay tuned.
But for now, watch these brief videos of Republican Congressman Hal Rogers of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, who seems to be the only one who gets it–who gets that what is going on here is amnesty. Period. In the third video, he grills ICE Director of Investigations Marcy Forman a/k/a “Peppermint Patty” about why the new policy says illegal aliens are off-limits.

Two new flicks at the box office. Neither is that bad. Both are very adult movies.
* “Fast and Furious“: Wow, the creators of the original “The Fast and the Furious” were really inventive with the title of their third sequel in dropping the two “The”s. I liked this one far better than the other two sequels, but that’s not saying much. The benchmark was low. And the movie was better than I expected. Again, the benchmark was low.
You needn’t see any of the sequels and only the original to understand what’s going on here. This incarnation was written to begin where the original left off and works as if the sequels had never occurred. All of the lead actors in the original (none of whom became a huge mega A-list star)–Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, and Michelle Rodriguez–are back.
Walker is now an FBI agent, and car thief Diesel is in Mexico with girlfriend Rodriguez. Both of them have fled there to avoid being caught by the feds for running their auto theft ring. Soon Diesel learns that his girlfriend has been murdered by a vicious, brutal Mexican drug lord after she returned Stateside, and he and Walker team up to find him and bring him to justice.

This movie had great car chases and very cool, death defying stunts, but little else . . . unless you’re a red-blooded woman like me admiring the extreme hotness of Paul Walker, who looks slightly more haggard in this latest incarnation but just as hot as the original. That wasn’t enough to save this movie, though.
The plot was a mess, the story weak, but what else did you expect from the fourth in a series of fast car movies, the original of which wasn’t all that? Not that anyone goes to this movie to see a plot of any sort. People go to movies like this to see fast cars, big stunts, and hot chicks. And they got the first two out of the three. The cars in this movie are pretty sweet.
Mildly entertaining if you like to watch fast cars with loud engines. But, overall, I was bored. When there was action, the action was great. But when there wasn’t, it was sleep-inducing and slow. Only the eye candy of Walker kept me awake and alert between cool car stunts.
Bloody, violent, and full of four-letter expression. Not for your kid. But not too bad.
HALF REAGAN

* “Adventureland“: Although I had mixed feelings about this movie, overall I enjoyed it very much. Though it’s made by the “Superbad” team, it’s not nearly as raunchy, tasteless, or obscene. But it’s got more than enough. And it’s well done, with a far more decent storyline. Definitely not for prudes, though. Despite all that, it’s got a certain charm to it.
If you grew up in the ’80s–in which this movie is set–you’ll probably enjoy it, as I did. The target audience is quite apparently the Gen-X crowd.
I laughed like crazy and I thought it was sweet and entertaining. On the other hand, there were a lot of drugs, which bothered me more than the lewd references and innuendoes. This movie is very adult. The R-rating is there for a reason. It’s not for your kids.
Up-and-coming, very talented actor Jesse Eisenberg plays James, Brennan, a somewhat geeky college grad on his way to New York for journalism school. But, soon, he learns that his father has been “downsized” and he has to work for the summer. But the only thing a person who majored in English literature can get is a job at the local amusement park, “Adventureworld.”
Brennan finds himself falling for Em (Kristen Stewart), an aloof girl at Adventureworld and interacts with fellow geeks, girls, and others at the amusement park, all set to an ’80s soundtrack and complete with ’80s hair and clothes. We watch Brennan try to get the girl but also come to terms with his collapsing future.
The one part I didn’t like is the continuing theme of pot use as a social mechanism. Brennan’s wealthy best friend gives him a bag of super potent marijuana before leaving for Europe for the summer. The pot makes Brennan instantly popular at the theme park.
Best line in the movie: When a geeky Jewish co-worker is rejected by his girlfriend because her Catholic parents don’t want her to date a Jewish guy, Brennan’s love interest Em, goes to tell the girl off and call her “anti-Semitic,” to which the Jewish guy responds, “The Jews have been through worse.” No kidding.
Like I said, this movie is absolutely not for kids and not teens below 17 either. It’s an adult flick, and it’s rife with four-letter salutes and suggestive situations. If you’re a prude, it’s not for you.
TWO REAGANS

It was bad enough when we had to endure the homo-erotic smooching and hand-holding of Saudi King Abdullah by President Bush. Now, we’ve got current Prez Barack Hussein Obama bowing down to him . . . officially acknowledging our oil slavery to the Islamic Kingdom.
Disgusting. Oh, and don’t forget how “our allies” the Saudis had Imad Mughniyeh, the Hezbollah terrorist mastermind of the U.S. Marine barracks and embassy bombings in Beirut and the TWA 847 hijacking (and murder of Navy Diver Robert Dean Stethem) and let him go, despite U.S. pleas.

Whatever happened to the good old days of March 2008, when the Welsh Guard knew how to greet King Abdullah?

There’s an old Malaysian proverb, which translates to, “Don’t think there are no crocodiles because the water is calm.”
Don’t think there’s no terrorism against Israel just because you don’t hear about it in the mainstream media. And don’t think there isn’t a lot of terrorism in the planning stages and about to be hatched, just because things are “calm.” In fact, terrorist attacks continue in Israel, every single day.
Today, an ax-wielding Palestinian Islamic terrorist attacked and killed a 13-year-old, Shlomo Nativ (he axed him in the head), and badly injured a seven-year-old in the Bat Ayin of the Etzion Bloc (“Kfar Etzion” in Hebrew) of Israel. The Etzion Bloc was the scene of three horrible Arab massacres of Jews in 1948. The Jerusalem Post and Carl in Jerusalem have more.

And by the way, Islamic Jihad and Fatah–the group headed by “peace partner” and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas–claimed credit for these heinous attacks. We expect Israel to make “peace” with these goons?!
Also today, the Israeli Defense Forces just released this video

shot by IDF field security cameras along with voice recording show how the IDF foiled an attempt by Hamas terrorists to plant explosive devices along the security fence in central Gaza. The IDF identified the men as armed and confirmed their efforts to plant explosive devices before coordinating with the air force and neutralizing the threat. The video also shows the various guns and munitions that the terrorists were carrying on them at the time of their attack.

Remember, during the Presidential campaign, when I gave Michelle Obama some advice–“Your clothes are way too tight“?
Well, Ms Thang didn’t take it, as evidenced by some of her clothing choices in London, yesterday. Apparently, she actually believes all the baloney hype about how fit she is and how “sexy” her arms (which the exhibitionist loves to show us) are.

FLASHBACK: Michelle Obama’s waaaaay toooooo tight Jeans from the late October/early November campaign trail 2008 (please, no jokes about body parts of animals Arabs ride in the desert):

The “new Jackie O”? Not even close. More like Big Booty O.
**** UPDATE: HA! Reader Jennifer, who lives in London, alerted me to this Daily Mail article dissing more of Michelle Hussein Obama’s bad, waaaaay tooooooo tight clothing choices. And I think Mrs. Obama’s learned a new rule:

When you want to wear too tight clothes and get away with it, make sure you pose with an even fatter chick whose clothes are even tighter. That way everyone will be distracted.

**** UPDATE: Blago Indicted along with 5 “associates” ****
How soon we forget the fallen mighty. Rod Blagojevich–remember him?–has been out of the news for several weeks.
But guess what? You know who’s supposed to be indicted as early as today?
Yup, him. It sounds like the indictment is going to be handed down later this afternoon, with a big press conference to announce it.
Today is the last day for a Grand Jury hearing the Blago case to indict him before the Tuesday deadline to replace the original complaint and accompanying FBI affidavit, which U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald filed against the Illinois then-Governor.
Fitzgerald could ask the federal district court’s chief judge for an extension, but reports say the indictment is imminent and there will be an announcement about a “significant criminal matter,” later today.

Indictment Day for the Human Cabbage Patch Kid
One wonders how much Fitzgerald massaged the indictment to shield Barack Obama operatives like Rahm Emanuel.
Remember, Fitzgerald has a clear conflict of interest here. He wants to keep his job as U.S. Attorney, but Barack Obama is the one who nominates U.S. Attorneys, including Patrick Fitzgerald, a holdover from the Bush days.
Plan for the indictment to protect the Obamaniks accordingly.
But that doesn’t mean that Blago won’t try to dirty up the Obama gang as much as possible in order to defend himself. Plan on hearing a lot more about Tony Rezko and Michelle Hussein Obama when this trial starts in a year or so (unless Blago gets and takes a generous plea deal, both of which I don’t foresee).
Can’t wait. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride. But not nearly bumpy enough.

The problem with Hollywood is the influence it has. Pop culture, sadly, is now America’s culture. What they do in Lalaland, the rest of America follows.
And I’ve noticed the latest disturbing trend from the figments of Tinseltown. They groom their boys to look like girls. If you make your male progeny look like females, it doesn’t bode well for their future masculinity. You’re setting them up to be wimps and “sensitive men.” And we have far too much of that already. We need our men to be men and our women to be women, not the reverse.
See if you can guess which of these Hollywood celebrities’ kids are actually boys. Answer at the bottom.
Gwyneth Paltrow & Kid: Girl or Boy?

Celine Dion & Kid: Girl or Boy?

Cindy Crawford & Kid: Girl or Boy?

America Hater Kate Hudson & Kid: Girl or Boy?

Noam Chomsky Fan Elle MacPherson & Kid: Girl or Boy?

So which of these kids are girls and which are boys?

You know what I really hate?
I hate it when grown adults try to act cool by invoking stupid hip-hop phrases. The people who do this are the same ones who want to be best friends to their kids and accompany them to Eminem and T.I. concerts.
And I especially despise it when this put on pseudo-hipness show comes from some pasty White aging politician. It’s so transparently desperate, so very common, so clearly an attempt to elevate your “respectability” by utilizing the lingua franca of the lowest common denominator in society.
While the fist-bump is one example, another great, cringe-worthy instance took place yesterday, when Michigan liberal Democrat Governor Jennifer Granholm, upset about Barack Obama’s Final Four NCAA Basketball Tournament picks which had Michigan State losing to Louisville (the school is now in the Final Four), told ESPN that she wanted to “be up in his grill.”

Michigan Gov. Granholm Wants to Be “Up in Obama’s Grill”
No way. Did a governor of a United State actually say she wants to “be up in [the President’s] grill”? (And does she mean she wants to be up in his bling-studded grill or the grill of his Presidential limo? That’s rhetorical. Yes, I know it’s hip-hop slang for “in your face.”)
Yup. And you wonder why Michigan fell off a cliff under her roost atop of it. The woman who’s pimped her state out on higher taxes and big spending is now officially talking like a pimp.

Gov. Jennifer Granholm was interviewed Wednesday, though she has a pretty good reason, with Michigan State in the Final Four and the Final Four in Detroit and all.
So ESPN’s Mike Hill wanted to know: “President Obama had MSU losing to Louisville in the Elite Eight, so if the Spartans go on to win it all, will you call him up and say, ‘Respectfully, sir, in your face, Mr. President!’ “?
Answered Granholm: “If he weren’t in London, we did invite him to come to the Final Four. … I would love to be up in his grill.”

Let’s forget that we wonder what this attention-seeking Governor (who recently modestly referred to herself as a “hot governor”) is doing whining over a minor sports bet when her state is collapsing economically beyond repair.
I used to call Granholm, “The Governatrix Gran-HO,” on my radio show. That’s because this woman is the biggest political prostitute on the planet and got elected head of Michigan when she secured the support of pimp daddy former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick by making race-based hiring and funding promises to him. Now, she’s prostituting herself to the hip-hop vernacular.
It’s completely annoying and speaks volumes when a nearly 50-year-old woman sounds like she’s the mom from “Leave it to Beaver” talking jive in the movie “Airplane,” only it’s not a joke.
What’s next?–a State of the State address with phrases like, “Who Dat?” and “No, You Di’int, You Bony-Assed Cracker Republicans.”
Trust me, the days of “Idiocracy”‘s President Camacho are fast approaching [mild language alert]:
