MILF Camps?

From The Counterterrorism Blog article about the recent Bali bombing:

The other cell that has been identified as being part of these attacks is a central Javanese cell that had a very important role in sending members to the Philippines for training. This cell first came to light in December 2004, when three Indonesians and their ASG escort were arrested entering Zamboanga, in the southern Philippines. The group was caught with US$7,000, 10 terrorist manuals, Al Qaeda VCDs and other materials. The four were on their way to MILF camps in Mindanao to conduct training. They also had blueprints for truck bombs on their possession.

It's news to me that they have MILF camps in the Philippines. And why would Indonesian terrorists go there for training, for God's sake? Radical Islamists won't even touch a woman, much less...uh..."train" with them. Just put MILF in Google and see what you get back. I tell ya, I'm stumped.

Prosthesis Thesis

The Ig Nobel award has named winners for this year. One of them is the inventor of prosthetic testicles for neutered dogs. If they guy had invented them for humans, he'd find a big market for them in the Democratic Party.

Where Have I Been?

A suicide bombing in Oklahoma just outside the stadium filled with spectators watching the Kansas State-Oklahoma football game happened without a report on any of the mainstream media. There weren't even any reports on the not-so-mainstream media. This is certainly strange...at a time when unconfirmed reports of an attack on the NYC subway system makes world headlines. Here is a case of someone who detonated himself on a bench outside of a filled football stadium, and we don't hear about it. Authorities have acknowledged that Joel Henry Hinrichs III, the bomber, tried to enter the stadium two times and had a ticket to the game.

Other reports say that large amounts of explosive materials were removed from his apartment along with jihadi literature.

Something smells fishy about this.

Mother & Daughter Reunion - Now I Can Sleep Again

Yes, it seems that Jennifer Anniston and her mom, Nancy, have renewed their relationship. They hadn't spoken since 1999 when mom Nancy published a book detailing secrets about her famous daughter. Contrary to my headline, this is the first I've heard of the spat. That shows you how much I keep up with the stars.

I do have an increased interest in tabloids, though. I'm trying to teach myself to read the Scandanavian languages, and a great way to do that is to read the tabloids from those countries. The writing is simpler and the stories are available in so many other languages that I can always check what I think I read.

God Is Still Speaking

To George Bush that is. An upcoming documentary on the BBC will report that George W. Bush told the Palestinian authorities in 2003 that God spoke to him and said, "George, go and put an end to the tyranny in Irak." At least it wasn't the Devil that made him do it.

Paris Has a Tough Week

Poor Paris Hilton, she breaks off her engagement (or someone broke it off for her) and then this! Paris was in line for the bathroom at Tao, a fashionable New York restaurant, and had to wait so long that she pissed in her pants. She must have been embarrassed, because she got out of line and went out the back door of the restaurant to go back to her hotel.
