…think alike:

If I am a “white supremacist blogger,” as Johnson now insists, why didn’t he see fit to warn anyone about this prior to my coming to the defense of Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer and others after Charles had smeared them?

Charles Johnson deliberately misformed his readers about Geller et al. for months before I first spoke out against his cruel and unjust defamation. The one thing he doesn’t want deluded LGF readers to discover is the true history of his vicious campaign of lies against conservatives who supported European opponents of jihad.

Johnson smeared Geller over and over again, and savagely maligned anyone who defended her. It was the sheer sadism of Johnson’s assault on her that caused me to speak out.

Sure sounds familiar.

Apparently the importance to expose that racist, neo confederate and White supremacist Evil that is Robert Stacy McCain was so great that Charles waited until Robert Stacy McCain posted 5,071 entries on his blog on his blog before exposing him.

He was so outraged by Glenn Reynolds linking to him that he waited until his 21st instalance (yes that’s 20 instalances more than me, feel free to suggest to Glenn that I deserve another) to denounce him for it. Apparently he wanted to give Glenn every chance to change his mind.

When I look at this I can’t help but think this this quote from one of my favorite episodes of Doctor Who, the Deadly Assassin:

Hilred: We have him trapped in the Communications Tower.
Spandrell: Well done, Hilred. An antiquated capsule, for which you get adequate early warning, transducts on the very steps of the Capital. You are warned that the occupant is a known criminal, therefore you allow him to escape and conceal himself in a building a mere 53 stories high. A clever stratagem, Hildred. You’re trying to confuse him, I take it?

The actual scene is here starting at 7:15.

Those are all good questions. I wonder if we will ever get good answers?

Initial reviews not withstanding I certainly don’t want to skip the new 4th Doctor Audios:

Well lucky for US Based Dr. Who fans. Mike’s comics has an announcement to make:

As stated on our BBC Doctor Who Audio webpage, there is a new licensed source to the US market for BBC Doctor Who & Blake’s 7 audios, and we have negotiated preferred terms for these audios.

On the page all of the Hornet’s Nest episodes are available at only $9.99 each.
hornet's nest the stuff of nightmares
That is a better deal than any currently on eBay. They also offer a boxed/slipcased set and if THAT isn’t enough they offer free shipping on cd’s orders over $60 sent by media mail!

What more can anyone ask?

The sad thing is they announced this 10 days ago! See what getting tied up with the blogwars does? It keeps you from important things.

What do I expect from the president’s statement coming up any second? I expect him to Chanel the 4th doctor in City of Death To Wit:

4th Doctor: “If you do that one more time, Duggan, I’m going to take very, very severe measures.”

Duggan: “Yeah, like what?”

4th Doctor: “Er… I’m going to ask you not to.”

The Doctor and Duggan, in “City of Death”

Let’s see if I’m right but I have to scoot in 25-35 min so lets hope he talks before then.

MSNBC: 8:37 a.m. at moments like this Republicans wish Hillery Clinton had won. Hey Mr. Beck how’s that Obama is better than McCain bit going?

8:39 a.m.: Halperin: Obama is a natural multilateralist. He doesn’t want to be the leader.

BTW why am I watching this on MSNBC? #1 Morning Joe, #2 Mika is a handsome and fair woman, #3 Greater chance of absolutely comic nonsense to quote.

8:43 a.m. It starts, Gorden Brown got his meeting now didn’t he?

8:44 a.m. “We expect the IAEA to investigate”, That’ll put the fear of God in ’em

8:45 a.m. “Iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is shaking in his boots.

8:47 a.m. “Iran must be prepared to co-operate with the IAEA” Or what?

8:48 a.m. That’s Obama’s plan to say this while Ahmadinejad is drinking so he will choke to death!

8:49 a.m. France expects a “rigorous investigation”. Talk about high expectations “everything is on the table” including Sanctions! THE HORROR!

8:50 a.m. Sanctions in December! That’ll learn em!

8:51 a.m. Brown: “We are prepared to implement sanctions.” oh brother.

Shades of Life of Brian:

Judith: They’ve arrested Brian!
All: What? What?
Judith: They dragged him off! They’re gonna crucify him!
Reg: Right! This calls for immediate discussion!
Judith: What?
Sibling: Immediate!
Sibling II: Right!
Loretta: New motion?
Reg: Completely new motion! Uh, that, uh, that there be, uh, immediate action…
Francis: …uh, once the vote has been taken.
Reg: Well, obviously once the vote has been taken resolution the oh —- resolution!
Judith: Reg, let’s go now, please!
Reg: Right, right!In the – in the light of fresh information from sibling Judith…
Loretta: Ehm…not so fast, Reg.
Judith: Reg, for God’s sake! It’s perfectly simple! All you’ve gotta do is to go out of that door now and try to stop the
Romans nailing him up! It’s happening, Reg! Something’s actually happening, Reg! Can’t you understand? Oooh!
Door: [Sound of Closing]
Reg: Yeah, hello. Another little ego trip from the feminists…
Rogers: Hrm.
Loretta: What?
Francis: [Whistle]
Reg: Oh, sorry, Loretta. Uh, read that back, would, you?

Warning Brief nudity totally non rule 5 at the .50-1:10 This stuff starts at 8:59

MSNBC what did we learn:

8:59 a.m. Mika called it a very strong message that’ll show em!

I think they are at stage 3 of the foreign office method. Sir Humphrey would be proud!

Hotair headlines reacts, gateway pundit posts.

My reaction: Statement of common principles #12

12. Israel should not be expected to risk another Shoah for the sake of the national interest of any other country.

If the president simply said that it would have a greater deterrent on Iran than anything the three stooges said this morning.

Update: John Miller makes a good point:

Remember the central rationale of Obama’s decision to cancel the missile-defense sites in the Czech Republic and Poland?

I should have brought it up first, but I’m too excited.

Update 2: Yup Beck is wrong about McCain:

Claude Rains would be “shocked” to learn the Iranians have an undisclosed nuclear enrichment site…

Wars come first and McCain gets it. Watch out John, Captain Ed might sue.

Update in detail at Hotair:

As for Russia, they still see Iran as critical to their economic health, so don’t expect much from Moscow. Earlier this week, they sounded fatalistic about new sanctions, and some wondered if Obama hadn’t worked out some quid pro quo based on the shift on missile defense in eastern Europe. Instead, it looks as though Obama may have shared this intel with Russia, which is probably how Iran found out about it.

Hey we don’t have to worry, didn’t the president take care of Nukes yesterday at the Security council?

Update 3: Cripes even Talk Left is worried.

Update 4: Firedoglake reports it. Check out the comments there, WARNING: Be sure you are not drinking while you do so.

Update 5: Tell me how this parody is less accurate than what Iran has actually said?

Dear suckers esteemed inspectors of the IAEA,

Ok I see the problem, “Suckers” is crossed out.

the scapegoatMy review of the big finish 8th Doctor Adventure The Scapegoat (Season 3 episode 4) staring Paul McGann and Sheridan Smith is available at Amazon.com here.

I’ve been impressed at how good the Doctor/Lucie episodes have been. The news that it has been renewed for a 4th season is pretty good.

One thing, I picked this up used on eBay from a fellow in Israel Nice guy but FYI if you are the type of guy who can’t bear to wait then I’d pick it up closer to home. Saving a buck was my primary reason to get it there but although he doesn’t charge much expect to wait one week longer than from England and a lot longer than Worcester.
