Britain expels Israeli Diplomat Over Dubai Passport Row

The UK's long history of anti-Semitism just added another footnote. They are now expelling an Israeli diplomat over the use of 12 forged British passports by the killers of Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai.

Mahmoud kidnapped and murdered two Israeli soldiers, but Britain has their knickers in a twist because they allege the Israeli government was responsible for the "misuse" of passports.

To them I say, Eff You!

Mabhoud was killed by electric shock. Ouch, bet that left a mark. Score one for the Mossad, none for the UK.

Dancing with the Stars: Season 10 Premiere

I have no idea why I thought this might be an entertaining two hours, but I did, and boy was I wrong.

Truth be told, I watched only the first hour and then saw Kate Gosselin sashay near the end of the second hour. Her arm flapping could not disguise the fact that she can't dance, but neither could Shannon Doherty or Niecy Nash.

Ratings were reportedly very strong -- 19% better than last year's opening show, but the show was flat, the dancing mostly bad, and the "stars" all faded, insipid, clumsy or reality TV recyclables.

Best moment: When Bruno said something on the order of "You looked like you wanted to eat her" to one of the male dancers. Cut away to Tom Bergeron who simply looked down and probably prayed the director would cut to commercial.

Sarah Palin TV Deal Said to Be Done: Blame the Discovery Channel

The former governor's asking price was $1.2 million per episode. A network paying anywhere close to that figure would make "Alaska" one of the most expensive nature series ever produced.

File this under "the scum rises to the top."

Tata Nano: Sales are So Hot They're on Fire; Nano Nightmare

One poor schnook took delivery of a new Tata Nano, and this is what happened as he was driving it home:

No injuries were reported, other than the crushing humiliation and pain of having your new car self-immolate during the first hour or so of ownership.

You can read all the gory details here.

Toyota, you're not alone.

Pow! Try and deny it now, Mr. West Coast Choppers!

If You Missed the 2010 Paralympics, You Missed a Great Show!

Words cannot express the wonderful quality of the competition nor the individual and group achievements. From March 12-21, this Olympics was at least equal to if not greater than the able-bodied version. Alas, it did not get the TV time, but I was able to catch several hours of the programming and fell in love with it.

I especially enjoyed the Ice Sledge Hockey competition, which was fast, furious and fun.

My compliments to all of the athletes and the hosts for putting on a great event, even without that glare that accompanied those other Olympics.

Google Quits China Bitch: Will No Longer Filter its Results for Commies

After a protracted battle with Chinese authorities over censorship, Google has pulled the plug on their Chinese search engine. Queries to that address are now redirected to Google Hong Kong.

Here's what Google had to say about the closure:

Robocop's Car Appears: E7 Squad car from Carbon Motors

Billed as the world’s first purpose-built law enforcement patrol vehicle, this is the E7 Squad car from Carbon Motors.

It's a green vehicle that is to be powered by BMW-supplied diesel engines. Expected to be available in the marketplace by 2013, Carbon Motors Corp claims they will directly and indirectly employ upwards of 10,000 Americans.

And they describe their company as follows:
"Carbon Motors Corporation is a bold, new homeland security company on a critical mission to design, develop, manufacture, distribute, service, and recycle at end-of-life, the world’s first purpose-built law enforcement patrol vehicle."

Dems Finally Win One, Frum Points Finger, Drudge Displays His Stupidity

David Frum, former speechwriter to President George W. Bush writes:

Conservatives and Republicans today suffered their most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s.

It’s hard to exaggerate the magnitude of the disaster. Conservatives may cheer themselves that they’ll compensate for today’s expected vote with a big win in the November 2010 elections. [...]

No illusions please: This bill will not be repealed. Even if Republicans scored a 1994 style landslide in November, how many votes could we muster to re-open the “doughnut hole” and charge seniors more for prescription drugs? How many votes to re-allow insurers to rescind policies when they discover a pre-existing condition? How many votes to banish 25 year olds from their parents’ insurance coverage? And even if the votes were there – would President Obama sign such a repeal?

Britney Spears' Nipples Are Sad, Alway Looking Down

Depression is no laughing matter and yet when it spreads to your nipples, it's almost funny.

Here's Britney busting by a fan with a bottle of orange soda and some coffee -- two items that taste great together -- at a gas station.

Everything about this scene says White Trash, although the look of joy on the fan's face says this is a moment she'll remember forever.
