Two Drunken Moose Invade Home for Elderly
Nov 08 STOCKHOLM, Sweden- Residents of an elderly home in southern Sweden had to deal with a pair of intoxicated moose when they invaded the premises.
The moose, a cow and her calf, had become drunk over the weekend by eating fermented apples they found outside the home in Sibbhult, southern Sweden, said Anna Karlsson, who works there.
Police managed to scare them off once, but the large mammals returned to get more of the tempting fruits. This time the moose were drunk and aggressive, forcing police to send for a hunter with a dog to make them leave...(maybe they should have sent two drunken hunters after them...)

November 7, 2005- SEATTLE - Washington State is planning to open a latte stand inside the McNeil Island penitentiary... The Department of Corrections says it's 'thinking' that the latte stand will make a fine addition to its vocational training program.
...the real issue here is the image of a warm and fuzzy prison system where rapists and murderers get to sip lattes and munch on scones...

President Bush May Send Up To 5 Marines For French Assistance
General Says Five Might Be Overkill
November 07, 2005- President Bush has authorized the Joint Chiefs to begin drawing up a battle plan to pull France's beignets out of the fire again. Facing an apparent overwhelming force of up to 400 ticked off teenagers Mr. Bush doubts France's ability to hold off the young barbarians.
"Heck, if the last two world wars are any indication, I would expect France to surrender any day now," said Bush. Joint Chiefs head, Gen. Peter Pace, warned the President that it might be necessary to send up to 5 marines to get things under control. The general admitted that 5 marines may be overkill but he wanted to get this thing under control within 24 hours of arriving on scene.
President Bush stated he was having a hard time finding even one marine to help those ungrateful frogs out for a third time (OK, fourth time if you count Viet-Nam) but thought that he could persuade a few boot-campers to do the job while they were on a three day pass for Veteran’s Day. Said President Bush, “A Three-Day pass to Paris ain’t what it use to be, but these guys are used to sloggin’ through the muck.”
President Bush asked Gen. Pace to get the marines out of there as soon as possible after order was restored. He also reminded Gen. Pace to make sure the marines did not take soap, razors, or deodorant with them. The least they stand out.
French Roast
November 8, 2005- Coverage of the riots by major American media has been incomplete. Headlines have referred to "angry French teens" and "angry immigrants." That's misleading. According to a French official, most of these rioters are French born -- the children or grandchildren of African and Arab immigrants. The word that is missing in the headlines, and that comes in later paragraphs in news stories, is: Muslim. Hence, the frequent rioters' cry: Allahu Akbar. God is great. Not that you'll read that in The New York Times… It may turn out that the scarf ban tactically was a bad idea. Nonetheless, France has as much right to implement said ban as Muslim countries have to require women to wear the veil. Let me add that Muslim activists wanted far more than head scarves at public schools. They also wanted gender-segregated physical-education and history classes expunged of the Holocaust. Change the scarf policy, and they still will be dissatisfied… Rest of article at:

Reflections on the Revolution in France
By Daniel Pipes (Daniel Pipes is director of the Middle East Forum and author of Militant Islam Reaches America. He has a Ph.D. in early Islamic history from Harvard and taught at Harvard and the University of Chicago.)http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=20102
Jihad in Europe?
November 8, 2005-- Has an intifada begun in France — an all-out jihad? Are the French facing what is by now, as the riots are well into their second week and have engulfed virtually the entire country, a full-scale insurrection from immigrant youth who simply resent being marginalized and shunted to the fringes of French society? Or does the unrest have something to do with the agenda of jihadists worldwide? As is becoming increasingly well known, Osama bin Laden and others all over the world want to unify the Islamic world under a restored caliphate, reestablish the rule of Islamic law, and extend the hegemony of that law, Sharia, to the rest of the world also. Does that play any role in the French riots?
...Evidence so far is somewhat sketchy. Mainstream media reports have centered on the rioters’ economic and cultural marginalization. “Theirs,” laments AP, “is a drab life of days spent smoking hashish, hanging out on street corners.” An 18-year-old named Ahmed complains: “You wear these clothes, with this color skin and you’re automatically a target for police.” Some analysts, indulging in various degrees of schadenfreude, have alleged that France’s ingrained racism, snobbery toward outsiders, and mistreatment of Muslim immigrants are responsible for the riots.
Yet the horror stories detailing this mistreatment that are now filling the news do not entirely ring true. France has not neglected its sizable Muslim minority...Nor have Muslims been marginalized in French public life....

Arrests Said to Foil 'Catastrophic' Terror Attack in Australia
In what officials are calling the biggest counter-terrorism operation ever in Australia, hundreds of police in two states swooped in on Muslim radicals early Tuesday, saying they had foiled a major terror attack.
Seventeen men were arrested in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's two largest cities, just days after Prime Minister John Howard's government pushed through emergency counter-terror legislation.
"The police forces of this country may just have prevented a catastrophic act of terrorism," New South Wales police minister Carl Scully told reporters, while his counterpart in Victoria, Christine Nixon, said she believed the arrests had "seriously disrupted" the activities of a group planning terror…

Hero of the anti-war left
Former Marine Staff Sergeant Jimmy Massey has become a hero of the anti-war left, appearing in national news stories and giving speeches on atrocities he says he and other Marines committed in Iraq, including killing peaceful protesters, shooting a 4-year-old Iraqi girl in the head and filling a tractor-trailer with the bodies of civilian women and children killed by American artillery.
But after interviewing more than a dozen Marines and journalists present when these events supposedly took place, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports no one can recall the incidents Massey describes. And Massey himself tells the paper that despite giving first person accounts, he never witnessed the events he describes in person, but was told about them by other marines. (Sounds like John Kerry!) So why did…
Why did the press swallow Massey's stories?
The press fails to do it's job again, guess they heard what they wanted to hear...

Bill Clinton: Bush Tax Cuts 'Immoral', 'Unethical'
(Who'd know better than Lewinsky Bill about immoral and unethical?)
Nov. 7, 2005- Impeached Ex-president Bill Clinton is blasting President Bush's economic policies as "immoral" and "unethical," saying he blames administration tax cuts for increasing hostility towards the U.S. around the world.
"I hear all this talk about family values and all this stuff," Clinton told an audience at the University of Minnesota on Saturday… "I resent it," Clinton said, his voice rising in anger. "I think it's immoral, I think it's unethical."

GOP LEADERS TO LAUNCH NEW 'LEAK' PROBE; INFO TO WASH POST 'DAMAGED NATIONAL SECURITY'
Tue Nov …early this afternoon House Speaker Hastert and Senate Majority Leader Frist will announce a bicameral investigation into the leak of classified information to the WASHINGTON POST regarding the “black sites” where high value al Qaeda terrorists are being held and interrogated. Said one Hill source: “Talk about a leak that damaged national security! How will we ever get our allies to cooperate if they fear that their people will be targeted by al Qaeda.” According to sources, the WASHINGTON POST story by Dana Priest (see link below), revealed highly classified information that has already done significant damage to US efforts in the War on Terror.

General wants Wilson apology
November 8, 2005 Threatened with a lawsuit for "slander," retired Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely is turning the tables on Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, calling on the man at the center of the CIA leak controversy to offer a public apology for accusing him of lying.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Vallely claimed Wilson revealed wife Valerie Plame's employment with the CIA to him in a casual conversation the year before she allegedly was "outed" by columnist Robert Novak…
Wilson, he said, has made so many misstatements of fact, "but nobody has taken him to task."
Why Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald did not question Wilson and Plame under oath, "is a mystery to me," Vallely said…
...At least two veteran reporters say Valerie Plame's association with the CIA was widely known, and a prominent analyst on military and political affairs, Victor Davis Hanson, told WorldNetDaily his own green-room encounter with Wilson revealed a man who is unusually free with personal information to strangers...
...NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell, in an appearance on CNBC's "Capitol Report," Oct. 3, 2003, was asked how widely it was known in Washington that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA. "It was widely known among those of us who cover the intelligence community and who were actively engaged in trying to track down who among the foreign service community was the envoy to Niger," she said. http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=47289
