A Duck Is Swimming : Качка плаває

It is a sad farewell song. It was popular in Ukraine during the 2014 Euromaidan uprising.

Ducks swimming symbolize death.

Khalid Sheik Mohammed and...

Khalid Sheik Mohammed: 

“If God said no adultery or no sexual contact without a marriage contract between man and woman, the Westerner’s God says men and women are free to do whatever they want to do,” he claims.
“A mother can even lie with her son and they can issue a marriage certificate for them if the majority in Congress or Parliament agrees to such a thing. Or a man can marry a man or a woman can marry a woman, but by God’s laws, these acts are considered social crimes and it will cause unhappiness in their life, it breaks their families and at the end it will break the whole society.”

I do not oppose same sex marriage, in a civil sense, even though I do not recognize same sex marriage to be the equivalent of traditional marriage (I guess that makes me a H8er, but hey, so are gays who call straight people "breeders," get over it).  But pass it democratically (by convincing a plurality of citizens it is an appropriate thing to do) rather than imposing it under 19th century equal protection clauses (which is complete nonsense and not what those clauses were written for). But in a sense KSM is correct about how Democracy works in defining legally recognized relationships. That is how it generally works in the West (although we were heavily influenced by the Bible in the past because it was the book that the vast majority of voters followed). I am glad KSM had started to denounce violence (he is not there yet).  In his own mind he is a righteous man because he follows the Koran (he is in fact an evil twisted man and until he admits his murderous ways are wrong and he accepts responsibility for them he has really not denounced violence). Ultimately what doomed KSM is he followed an interpretation of Islam that focuses on conversion by the sword rather than by persuasion.

And strangely enough many who denounce Phil Robertson think he is the equivalent of KSM, because he had the audacity to believe the Bible to be the word of God and a blueprint for how to live one's life.  Phil Robertson follows the teachings of Jesus, who preached non violence, forgiveness and personal responsibility.  And KSM follows the teaching of Mohammed.

Some Gay Men Like Beards too...

And of course there are those in the gay mafia who follow their sexual desires and demand the rest of us show them respect (without giving it back in return). That is the part that is breaking society. While they think "marriage equality" will make everything alright for them, it probably will not. There is something fundamentally wrong with many homosexual relationships. I say that from observation.  Hey, I am sure some are great.  Good for them. And obviously there are plenty of heterosexual unions that are less than perfect. Gays are separated by a book too, since Jesus said he came to fulfill the law, not replace it.

Update:
Here is a good question, why was violence in The Passion of the Christ denounced, but celebrated in 12 Years A Slave?  

Separated at Birth: Phil Robertson and...? Update: A&E caves, but no word yet from National Review...

Separated at Birth Free Speech: National Review better not be treating their talent bad...Mr. Steyn could find other places to go.  

Phil Robertson: How A&E screwed up...

Mark Steyn: How National Review screwed up...

Mark Steyn's The Age of Intolerance:

Look, I’m an effete foreigner who likes show tunes. My Broadway book was on a list of “Twelve Books Every Gay Man Should Read.” Andrew Sullivan said my beard was hot. Leonard Bernstein stuck his tongue in my mouth (long story). But I’m not interested in living in a world where we have to tiptoe around on ever thinner eggshells. If it’s a choice between having celebrity chefs who admit to having used the N-word in 1977 (or 1965, or 1948, or whenever the hell it was) and reality-show duck-hunters who quote Corinthians and Alec Baldwin bawling out some worthless paparazzo who’s doorstepping his family with a “homophobic” slur, or having all of them banished from public life and thousands upon millions more too cowed and craven to speak lest the same fate befall them, I’ll take the former any day. 

Because the latter culture would be too boring for any self-respecting individual to want to live in, even more bloody boring than the current TV landscape where, aside from occasional eruptions of unerotic twerking by sexless skanks, every other show seems to involve snippy little Pajama Boys sitting around snarking at each other in the antiseptic eunuch pose that now passes for “ironic.” It’s “irony” as the last circle of Dante’s cultural drain; it’s why every show advertised as “edgy” and “transgressive” offers the same pitiful combination of attitude and impotence as a spayed cat humping.

Jason Lee Steorts (Mark Steyn's editor) responds.
Mark Steyn Responds: Re-Education Camp
Jason Lee Steorts responds (he just wants to be civil).  A bit of advice to Mr. Steorts, while I agree civility is a skill set sadly in decline in the general culture, sometimes you have to just say what needs saying.

Mr. Steorts: The Fruit Cordial reference was to make a point...

Duck jokes

New York State to Ban Foie Gras?

New York State to ban Foie Gras?  I am surprised Nanny Bloomberg did not do so already in New York City.  You know what that means:  Get your foie gras here!  Get your foie gras here!  Get it while you can, they are trying to get Amazon to ban it too!

There is some hidden symbolism in this...

The fiscal cliff and all of that.

It is the game of the roses café...

don't prick your fingers on the thorns.  On Wisconsin

ESPN Bowl Link

Update:  First score Wisconsin.  Badgers score again.  Oregon, however, looks good on offense.  Which team will wear out first?

Update II:  Oregon's offense is fast.  But the Badgers definitely answering back.  Which team will stumble first?

Update III:  Too bad about the interception but still holding on.

Heartbreak.

The Badgers played well.  Unfortunately a few time management mistakes and a very untimely interception.  Oregon was tough.  But the Badgers were tough too.  But in a game like that, you can't make too many mistakes and still win.  I am proud of them.  

WISCONSIN BADGERS ROSE BOWL 2012 BOODA BADGER MOUTH

Congratulations Trooper York

The thrill of victory...

And the agony of defeat. 

As a Madison cow I am rooting for Greenbay.  But I do not mind your team beating the Cowboys.

Tomorrow, however, is Badger Day.



Update:  Oh yeah.  

Wisconsin Is Ready

Perhaps the most telling sign of Wisconsin’s fresh sense of comfort came from the players themselves. On Saturday, when Bielema was asked about his players’ limits for New Year’s Eve, the coach said he was pleased by a request from a few of his team’s leaders.“They asked for a tighter curfew window after the third day, so I like where they’re at,” Bielema said. “Hopefully, they bought in. They have a lot this year, and it’s paid off for them.”
