Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
Here's something from LGF that made me just shake-my-head:
The European Union has solved Europe's problem with Islamic terrorism and jihad.Yes indeed, the über-intelligent peoples of the Old World have solved one of the greatest problems to face mankind in the 20th and 21st centuries: pretending that not speaking the words that aptly describe the threat will make said threat go away.By banning the words. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)
The European Union has drawn up guidelines advising government spokesmen to refrain from linking Islam and terrorism in their statements.Brussels officials have confirmed the existence of a classified handbook which offers "non-offensive" phrases to use when announcing anti-terrorist operations or dealing with terrorist attacks.
Banned terms are said to include "jihad", "Islamic" or "fundamentalist".
The word "jihad" is to be avoided altogether, according to some sources, because for Muslims the word can mean a personal struggle to live a moral life.
One alternative, suggested publicly last year, is for the term “Islamic terrorism” to be replaced by "terrorists who abusively invoke Islam".
An EU official said that the secret guidebook, or, "common lexicon", is aimed at preventing the distortion of the Muslim faith and the alienation of Muslims in Europe.
Last free human being out of Europe, please turn off the lights.
It's kind of like in the Harry Potter series of books where the wizarding community will refer to the greatest threat to them as 'He Who Will Not Be Named' instead of using his real name Voldemort.
And as for my usage of 'SWWNBN' instead of the proper name Cindy Sheehan, that's because she doesn't deserve to have a proper name used when discussing her psycho-babble.
Lovely.....using the ostrich technique to hide from danger. The only thing missing is plugging our ears and screaming 'Lah-Lah-Lah-Lah'.....

Wasn't Europe/Great Britain using the same tactics in the early 40s?

Hey Alec....
If you're really interested in helping people, send some of that love my way.
I promise: if you help pay for the rest of my education, I promise I won't enlist in the military.
Honestly - while I most probably will not agree with Mr. Baldwin on political issues, I do admire his acting and wouldn't have a problem accepting his financial assistance. Even better: he could help out my daughter in preparing for college.

You hate to see this happen to anybody. But Tony is one of those kind of guys that you just like as both a commentator and a public servant. So many of us like him on a personal level even though we have never met him. Tony is is my prayers.

Improvement
It's been a while (almost six weeks) since I posted about the 'Lovely Times' that I and my family were experiencing. I thought I'd post an update to it to let everyone know how we're doing.
Read More of "Improvement"Well, first off I want to thank those patrons who donated to my PayPal link on the sidebar. Sincerely: thank you!! While the monies donated didn't solve all of our financial problems, it did at least get us out of the denser part of woods.
Once again, it never ceases to amaze me that people can be able and willing to give someone....an almost complete strager money to help them along. It's the sort of thing that makes me put a little more faith into people as a whole and that there is hope for people in society.
For the most part, the fiasco that we found ourselves in concerning our past due rent was resolved mostly by my wife and the rest by family back east.
How so?
Well, without divulging too many details it was my wife who managed to come up with most (around $4,000) of the back rent; my family back east augmented the rest. My wife was able to borrow the money from someone who completely understood our situation and was willing to help and allow my wife to pay back the loan over the next few months.
And the 'good news' of all this is that we're officially caught up on rent - now we just pay the normal monthly amount and we're able to do that. We're still in deep for other finances and we're looking at all of our options, including backruptcy. Considering the B-word isn't something that we're taking lightly.....the situation is getting to be that bad and for the moment, all options are on the table.
And while the remaining financial woes are nothing to simply 'blow off', I am able to relax slightly because I don't have to worry about being evicted.
As I said - I just wanted to let everyone know that things are looking a little better these days and especially to thank everyone for their support and donations.
All done with "Improvement"?
