Dogs and Cats Sleeping Together: USC Loses More Players to NFL Draft

I know this is a website about the war on terror, but isn't the fact that five USC underclassman have declared for the NFL draft one of the Shia signs of the apocalypse? Somewhere in Tehran, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad smiles in his sleep reassured that the Hidden Imam is about to appear in the sky, riding an A-bomb like Slim Pickens. more...

Zulu elders to defy ban on virgin tests

Apparently, the importance of the main virginity event ranks right up there with the annual royal reed dance ceremony.

Zulu traditionalists have vowed to carry on with the controversial practice, which involves inspection of girls' genitalia, usually on the sidelines of cultural festivals.

Oh, I understand now... , it's some kind of sport, right?

Fatwa Issued Against Hot Indian Tennis Player

Is it me, or are ALL tennis players hot? A fatwa has been issued against Sania Mirza, who became the first Indian woman to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam at the US Open last week.

Mirza's crime? I guess she just looked way too hot in that tennis outfit. I've posted a Sania Mirza image gallery below. For a tennis player, her outfits aren't all that revealing at all.

Telegraph:

The fatwa - in effect, a demand that she cover up - was issued by a senior cleric of the Sunni Ulema Board, a little-known group. Similar fatwas have been issued against Mirza, who comes from a devout Muslim family, but none has ever gained popular support among India's 130 million Muslims.
"The dress she wears on the tennis courtsâ€¦leaves nothing to the imagination," Haseeb-ul-hasan Siddiqui told The Hindustan Times. "She will undoubtedly be a corrupting influence."
He said she should follow the example of Iranian women who wore long tunics and headscarves to play in the Asian Badminton Championships.

Hat tip to Greg at Rhymes With Right who has more as well as a blog roundup. more...

1 Uhhhh Rusty? You think this hairy lipped Garwalli is hot? Dude. Scott Baio is hot. This is a muppet waiting to happen man. I see a big thatch of hair all round that belly button. I see a horrible stink in her future. I smell cumin and ghee. I see many many epiladys strewn about the floor of her hut.

3 Hmm,

Might the iman have found her picture in his son's room?
Might the iman's daughter tell him that she wants to be just like her when she grows up?

Does anyone believe that these insaniacs will stop once all the muslim women are covered up?

7 Her outfits are pretty conservative among current female tennis players. Cf., the Williams' sisters.
Her crime is wearing a shirt that shows she has boobies? Yeesh. I'm sure all the left-wing feminists in the USA will be up in arms about this fatwa, right?

Posted by: rbj at September 12, 2005 01:33 PM (UgG6+)

Hate to burst your bubble about all tennis players being hot, but I have two words for you, Rusty: Martina Navratalova. If she's not man enough for you, how about Billy Jean King?

And if that guy thinks Mirza's leaving nothing to the imagination, he needs a better imagination, or maybe a trip to Hooters.

Redefining Yellow

By Demosophist

Today a Texan with a name that sounds like it ought to belong to a character in a Buck or Roy Rogers movie won the most grueling elite endurance contest on the planet for the seventh straight time! If he had never been near death with the "big C" today's accomplishment would've been enough. Indeed, it would have been enough had he stopped six years ago, after winning in 1999, but his recovery and return to bicycle racing not only at the top of his sport, but to create a legacy that will probably never be matched, has inspired people I love to fight against a similar infirmity. (Isn't it odd that he's the second great American cyclist in 20 years to live such a lesson?) more...

2 We're mighty proud of our boy, Lance, here in Texas.
Many are calling on him to run for office now. Govenor, US Senator or US Representative
Anyone know anything about his politics?

Posted by: greg at July 24, 2005 08:41 PM (/+dAV)

3 I take great pleasure in seeing a Texan beat the French at their own sport in their own house.

Posted by: Carlos at July 24, 2005 08:43 PM (8e/V4)

4 its great to see that Lance was able to overcome all challenges to him by the other competition and the challenges of the race itself...when a human{man or woman} puts their minds to accomplish something of good, anything is possible....nothing is impossible...Hurrah for Lance...and its good to see that no matter how hard the French tried to mess up his last race, he was able to prove them all wrong and win it for the 7th time in a row

5 Mrs. Dread Pundit asked me today if I knew that riding in the Tour de France takes an average of one year off a person's life. She didn't remember where she'd read this. Anyone else heard anything about this?

Personally, I think having one of those teeny-weeny seats shoved up my pooper for a week would take about FIVE years off.

Posted by: The Dread Pundit Bluto at July 24, 2005 10:30 PM (RHG+K)

6 I am a bike racing fan. The 12 months comes from the fact that it takes 11 months of preparation to race for 1 month. Professional bike racers must approach racing as a full time job to be competitive. I believe it to be the most grueling of all sports. In addition the planning and mental aspect requires the most of any sport. It is also a TEAM sport. The word I is never used.

Posted by: greyrooster at July 25, 2005 01:04 AM (CBNGy)

7 You never see the over weight, flabby competitors that you see in football and boxing in bike racing. When younger I would have loved to be able to compete in cycling. However, body types play a major role. Big boned, large people just don't have the stamina.

8 Mrs. Dread Pundit asked me today if I knew that riding in the Tour de France takes an average of one year off a person's life. She didn't remember where she'd read this. Anyone else heard anything about this?

I'm sure somewhere someone has such a theory based on some sort of logic, but it'd be almost impossible to verify empirically. To a lesser degree lots of "common people" ride week-long cycling tours in the US and elsewhere, a practice that probably started with RAGBRAI over thirty years ago. And in the case of the latter it's probably the food and booze that takes time off their lives rather than the riding. Frankly, it just sounds like someone who doesn't like to exercise.

9 A leftist radio station in Toronto spent an hour taking calls from conspiracy theorists believing Armstrong was never treated for cancer. They believe he spent his time in the hospital being engeneered for superior athletisism. Widened air passages, expanded hearty valves for super blood flow.

Bushs'little pet project. To stick it to the frogs.

10 Dave:

Bushs'little pet project. To stick it to the frogs.

That's hilarious. I wonder how the theory applies to Greg Lemond? That'd be a trial run by Bush 41 I guess, with perfected bionic technology for Bush 43. Except that Lance's first victory took place during the Clinton administration and Greg's was during the Reagan administration before he was re-engineered in hospital. No theory's perfect, I guess.

12 Yeah, heard John F'in Kerry was following in the car behind Lance on Saturday. Guess Kerry just can't get enough of eating a Texans dust.

13 When OLN interviewed Kerry, he went on ... and on ... and on ... until they stuck him in a little box in the corner of the screen so they could get back to the race. Independent Sources has more.

15 When his team faltered in the foothills, and his opponents isolated him (something they love to do to Americans), he played them off against each other, picked up the challenge and gained time on them all.

Except of course that Lance is pretty close to Basso and it would be more accurate to say they worked together to dump Ullrich. Ah well, when you have to choose between a good story and the facts....

Posted by: Daran at July 26, 2005 09:10 AM (h1uHG)

16 Daran:

He also used Ullrich to get back to Vinokourov at one point. I said that he played the other riders, who had isolated him from his team, off against one another... which is precisely what the Basso and Ullrich scenarios were all about. And, of course, he gained time on all of then, including Basso. Pretty much what I said happened, in other words.

17 "Funding is tough to come by these days," he says. "The biggest downside to a war in Iraq is what you could do with that money. What does a war in Iraq cost a week? A billion? Maybe a billion a day? The budget for the National Cancer Institute is four billion. That has to change. It needs to become a priority again.

"Polls say people are much more afraid of cancer than of a plane flying into their house or a bomb or any other form of terrorism. It is a priority for the American public." - Lance Armstrong

Lance speaks out against U.S. priorities.

Posted by: greg at July 26, 2005 03:25 PM (/+dAV)

18 Greg:

Sorry, but there's nothing in those statements that suggests anything other than that he supports cancer research. In fact, he doesn't say that the War in Iraq ought to be a lower priority, just that cancer ought to be higher. I know you wish it were otherwise, but perhaps when you learn to distinguish between a wish and an inference you'll be able to make better choices about what you support.
