Ms. Ebru Umar, who befriended the late Theo van Gogh, has been attacked near her house in Amsterdam. (She lives a couple of blocks from my house, but for obvious reasons I will not disclose her address.) The attack was allegedly carried out by two youths of Moroccan descent....Ms. Umar has used confrontational methods in the past to make her points. For instance, it is reported here that she has confronted Muslim women wearing burqas in the past.Unsurprisingly, the culprits have not yet been arrested.
There is precisely zero news about this in the English press. One wonders if this is because attacks by young Muslims is so common in Europe--where they have been effectively ghettoized--and therefore not big news, or because the powers that be are afraid to talk about the problem? Thanks to Ghost of a Flea for the tip.

No surprise, given they have bigger fish to fry, like Bush and conservative christians. The mainstream media has been in full black out mode for decades on anything that might lend credence to the conservative or neocon worldview.

The construcion market is so good that the only things holding me back are that there are only so many hours in the day, and that it's really hard to find talented people who will work. It's funny that there are so many people bitching about not making enough money, but who are not willing to expend the effort to do better. Those same people also complain about Mexicans taking their jobs. This irony escapes most people.
Right now I'm estimating costs for two new jobs, itemizing receipts, and drawing up bills. I'll try to fall asleep soon, but as usual I'll keep waking up thinking about things I have to remember for tomorrow, and if I'm lucky, I'll write them down or put them on my new Palm Treo PDA phone, which is just about the greatest investment I ever made. The inventor of this little miracle should have a golden statue cast in his likeness and displayed in the Smithsonian.
I might get four hours of sleep a night, but I learned in the Army how to thrive on that much, or less if necessary; it's no biggie. So, if my rants are somewhat disappointing, it's only because about 99% of my brainpower is dedicated to making money, and you'll all have to put up with a 1% effort on my behalf for a while. Don't worry about me, they haven't gotten me. Hell, they can't even catch me.
