A Persian mob breaches British Embassy in Tehran

Iranian protesters break the windows of a British Embassy building, in Tehran, Iran, Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2011.

The semiofficial Mehr news agency said embassy staff had left the compound before the mobs entered, but it also briefly reported that those who occupied the area had taken six staff as hostages. It did not give their nationalities and the report could not immediately be confirmed.

Broke through police

Joe Lieberman wants Blogger to use a terrorist flag module

“Pimentel’s Internet activity — both his spreading of bomb-making instructions links and his hate-filled writings — were hosted by Google,” Lieberman wrote.

“On his site www.trueislam1.com, Pimentel stated, “People have to understand that America and its allies are legitimate targets in warfare. This includes facilities such as army bases, police stations, political facilities, embassies, CIA and FBI buildings, private and public airports, and all kinds of buildings where money is being made to help fund the war.’ As demonstrated by this recent case, Google’s webhosting site, Blogger is being used by violent Islamist extremists to broadcast terrorist content,” Lieberman continued.

Unlike YouTube’s Community Standards, Lieberman writes, “Blogger’s Content Policy does not expressly ban terrorist content nor does it provide a ‘flag’ feature for such content.”

He continues: “Through your updated YouTube standards, Google has affirmatively stated that terrorist content will not be permitted on some of your sites. I strongly believe that Google should expand that standard to include your other platforms.”

The fed wants a new currency

Beginning with the pros at the SilverDoctors, a question was posed that if the new dollar is true, then Bix Weir’s Road to Roota story of a Gold standard is dead wrong…that the Fed has put out the info Bix used as a decoy.

The Doc (Ted Butler?) answered: “It depends on whether the new dollar is a devalued fiat dollar or is backed by gold. The Fed would not divulge this beforehand because the sheeple would dump their dollars for hard assets like gold and silver to avoid the devaluation–which is the entire purpose of the new dollar.”

Tradition of father's surname in demise

Hyphenation has other pluses. The invented names are distinctive; I’ve never come across a Tuhus-Dubrow outside my immediate family. The inconveniences — blank stares, egregious misspellings — are outweighed by the blessing of never having to worry about a Google doppelgänger. The problem, of course, is that this naming practice is unsustainable. (Growing up, I constantly fielded the question, “What will you do if you marry someone else with two last names? Will your kids have four names?”) Like many of the baby boomers’ utopian impulses, it eventually had to run up against practical constraints. I don’t have children yet, but plenty of others in my cohort — the first in which nontrivial numbers were born hyphenated — do. And reproducing while hyphenated brings inevitable quandaries. I was curious to see how my peers have handled them. So I asked around. What I found was a whole gamut of solutions. The name-blending pioneers now have grandchildren whose names embody an intriguing mix of the traditional and the maverick.

I want an assault rifle for Christmas or the reindeer gets it!

Family fun: A gun-toting youngster poses alongside Santa at a Christmas photo shoot in Scottsdale, Arizona

Toting the gun, and perhaps belts of ammunition around their necks, they smile alongside a rather bewildered-looking Santa.

Children and babies can also get their hands on a firearm of their choice, including grenade launchers, assault rifles and AK-47s.

The picture, taken against a festive backdrop, will then feature on a holiday card.

Afterwards, the families get a chance to test out the machine guns.

The idea of stay-at-home mums is wonderful but not practical any longer, imo

http://beer.weremight.com/forums/showthread.php?10269-Women-married-with-children-and-working

I know of two families where the wife was/is a stay at home mum. The first refused to work for 20 years. The husband worked 16 hours a day, 7 days a week for years. Eventually, his body couldn't carry on at that pace, so he had to slow down. They had their house repo'd because he couldn't manage the repayments on their 4 bed, 3 bath house SHE insisted on having.

The house was rarely clean, and to add insult to injury, she never cooked meals.

Wife #2 has not worked for 12 years. The husband works all hours. She never helps the children with homework, and their flat is a tip! He can't afford his own home and rents, and battles to pay the rent and utilities.

These two scenarios anger me. Wife #1 got a well-paying job AFTER they lost their home and can never buy another home again because of a bad credit rating.

Wife #2 says her husband is there to provide, even though they eat spaghetti out of a can, on toast, 3/4 times a week for dinner.
