Grim milestone:
The 10,000th
Islamic terror attack since 9/11.
There have been
ten thousand Islamic terror attacks all around the world in the period Sept 2001 - Nov 2007,
killing about
60,000 men, women and children.
And sadly, probably decades more of such senseless killing to come
before the vile global jihad ideology burns itself out.
Nice to have something both left and right can agree on
- that the Burmese regime has no right to exist
and should be ended.
Solidarity with the brave pro-democracy protesters.
May Burma be free soon.
Salman Rushdie reads from "The Satanic Verses".
This is a witty, intelligent and profound attack on the origins of all religions.
Every religious person should listen to this and think about it.
From here.
Sarkozy
wins France, May 2007.
After
Merkel's
win in Germany
and
Harper's
win in Canada,
it feels like the West is back to normal now.
The "Axis of Weasels" is finished.
A depressing day for the West's enemies.
Maybe they should just give up.
And sharing power does not change my opinion that the DUP and Sinn Fein / IRA
are both
extremist parties that no normal person should belong to,
and that do not belong in any normal western government.
The DUP
are still 17th century religious fundamentalists.
SF/IRA
are still a criminal gang of Marxist-Leninist gunmen.
But I still hope it works.
A bizarre, once-off, flash crowd took my site down in
Dec 2006 - Jan 2007.
Here's how it happened:
At some point, this page
on my site became the no.1 hit in the world
if you searched for
"saddam"
on Google Images.
This would normally be odd
(I certainly don't think it should be the no.1 hit),
but not a problem.
But when Saddam was executed, this became a problem.
Vast numbers of people typed "saddam"
into Google Images, looking for images of the execution
(there were no such images on my site).
My site was hosed with
about 10 times the normal amount of traffic.
I got about an extra 100,000 visitors in a 1 week period,
starting on 29 Dec 2006.
The bandwidth quota I pay for
was rapidly exceeded, and my site went down.
It seems like it was a bizarre, once-off flash crowd
that is unlikely to happen again.
