Sunday Reading List 2/24/08

It's Sunday again and I have selected items for your reading pleasure from all sides of the political spectrum on politics, current events, religion, terrorism, technology, and more.  Click on the title to read the entire article.  Enjoy:

The Materialist Faith of Communism, Socialism, and Liberalism, American Thinker

For over eighty-five years, America has been incrementally conquered by the same madness-inducing demon of hatred and violence that earlier took over Russia, China, Germany, and Italy.  Rabbi Aryeh Spiro concurs,

    "There is a madness in today's liberal thinking.  It insists on policies that tie our hands to defend ourselves while given free reign to the jihadists intent on killing us.  It is dangerous because it is becoming the law, and thinking of the land in the western world

Saturday Night At The Movies, Hullabaloo

The latest example is a film that reportedly, er, knocked ‘em dead at the 2008 Sundance festival and is currently playing in theaters-Martin McDonagh’s In Bruges. A pair of Irish hit men, Ken (Brendan Gleeson) and Ray (Colin Farrell) have botched a job in London and are exiled to the Belgian city of Bruges, where they are ordered to lay low and await judgment on their cock-up from their piqued Dublin employer (Ray Fiennes).

Chiling News About Encrypted Data, Just One Minute

Interesting news for folks who think their encrypted data is safe:

    SAN FRANCISCO —  A group led by a Princeton University computer security researcher has developed a simple method to steal encrypted information stored on computer hard disks.

    The technique, which could undermine security software protecting critical data on computers, is as easy as chilling a computer memory chip with a blast of frigid air from a can of dust remover.

Intel Plans to Launch Six-Core Microprocessors Later This Year, Free Republic

...  if those claims are correct, then it may mean not only another powerful central processing unit for Intel and a threat to chips from Advanced Micro Devices, but also a further delay in unification of Intel Itanium and Intel Xeon platforms

"Widespread Consensus: Obama Promotes Anti-Semitism, Racism, Hatred of Israel"  Israpundit, MUST READ ARTICLE

A growing number of bloggers such as Richard Cohen, Brigitte Gabriel, Sharon Hughes, Charles Krauthammer, Kenneth Blackwell, Naomi Ragen, Debbie Schlussel, Ed Lasky, and William Levinson are pointing out Barack Obama’s numerous connections to unsavory individuals and organizations that espouse and promote hatred of Jews, Catholics, white people, Israel, and/or the United States. By “connections” we do not mean casual social contacts, but Obama’s deliberate efforts to seek out these entities and gain their support. On February 8, Ira Forman of the National Jewish Democratic Council allowed himself to make the following noises about this rapidly widening campaign to expose Obama as a promoter and enabler of Jew-haters, racists, Israel-bashers, anti-Catholic bigots, and America-haters.  [snip]

Debbie Schlussel
Obama’s Nation of Islam Staffers, Edward Said & “Inflexible Jews” Causing Mid-East Conflict: An Obama Insider Reveals the Real Barack

Schlussel cited this picture as follows: “Barack Hussein & Michelle Obama with Palestinian Activist, PLO/Arafat Advisor Edward Said @ Arab Fundraiser

    But a former Obama insider says that Obama’s sudden aversion to NOI and Farrakhan is belied by the fact that Obama employed and continues to employ several Farrakhan acolytes in high positions on his Illinois and U.S. Senate campaign and office staffs. I have verified that this person–who agreed to talk on the condition of anonymity–held a key position in the Obama campaign. The insider was so close to Senator Obama that they frequently personally discussed and exchanged direct e-mail messages on campaign and policy matters. This person is not connected with the Clintons and is not a disgruntled employee.

FISA Fight: Run for your lives!, Daily Kos

The Attorney General of the United States--our nation's chief law enforcement officer--just admitted, in a letter to them, that the wiretapping the government has been conducting since 2001 is illegal. And they knew it. Does Congress really want to be rewarding such a brazen flouting of the law?

Iran sets law to execute apostates and converts from Islam WORLDWIDE, Infidel Blogger's Alliance

LEGISLATION has been brought by the government of President Mahmoud Amadinejad before the Iranian Majlis that would mandate the death penalty for apostates from Islam. The law's reach would be worldwide, the legislation says.

Ronald Reagan’s Legacy, by John E. Carey at Peace and Freedom II and The Washington Times

Ronald Reagan, when briefed on emerging U.S. technology for missiles, sensors, lasers and other efforts, saw the future. He saw a new hope for our children and he committed himself — and his nation — to achieving that vision.

Thinking About Embargos, Andrew Sullivan

Stephen Hugh-Jones discusses the Cuban embargo and  how the EU is "making the same mistake" with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus:

Absolut Quartet Makes an Orchestra Out of Ping-Pong Ball Cannons, Robots, Gismodo

The Absolut Quartet is an impressive electromechanical sculpture, which was put together by Dan Paluska and Jeff Lieberman. Using ping-pong ball cannons to play a marimba, robot fingers to tinker wine glasses and a central computer to control, well, the whole lot, the two creative minds have created the first—to our

The secret of how flat-chested Keira became a buxom pirate girl, Other Crap

A dose of reality for parents, "Signs of adolescence", Dooce

Leta, screaming from the backseat: "WE'RE GOING TO GRANDMOMMY'S HOUSE, RIGHT?"

Jon remains silent, not because he means to, it's just the screaming doesn't sound so much like screaming anymore as it does background noise. I think this is called Coping.

I dunno bout the rest of you but I thought Drew Carey's video was outstanding. You sure won't hear anything that optimistic from the drive by media.
