Iran Fishermen Rescued

First Posted: 1/18/12 11:58 PM ET Updated: 1/19/12 12:19 AM ET

For the third time this month, the U.S. Navy has come to the aid of Iranian fishermen.

On Wednesday, the guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey came the the rescue of a sinking Iranian fishing dhow, the Al Mamsoor, after an MH-60R Seahawk helicopter spotted it in the Arabian Sea early Wednesday morning.

The dhow had been flooding for several days, and by the time the U.S. Navy reached the ship, the Iranian crew had abandoned it and climbed onto other dhows nearby.

Still, it was clear that they needed food and water, so the team from the USS Dewey provided the fishermen with 150 pounds of food, water, medical, and hygienic supplies.

Earlier this month, American forces rescued a group of 13 Iranian fisherman who had been held captive by Somali pirates for more than 40 days.

The Religion of Peace strikes again.

From The Bolton News:

A 71-YEAR-OLD mosque leader and his 67-year-old wife took part in a violent attack on a rival family in massive street brawl, a court heard.

Nadir Khan, president of the New Medina Mosque, and other members of his family, attacked Mohammed Iqbal Khan and his family on August 7, 2009, Bolton Crown Court was told yesterday.

A jury heard that Nadir Khan’s family, referred to as the Marlborough Street group, were armed with baseball bats, cricket bats and a car steering wheel lock.

The 10 defendants are all charged with violent disorder and a variety of other offences, all of which have been denied.

The families attend the same mosque and have a long standing grievance towards each other, the jury was told.

More proof Canadian people are not having enough babies

We have all seen people walking around with tiny dogs in different degrees of humiliating (one may presume) anthropomorphised  costumes, some even in baby carriages.

Well, someone sent me these pictures from a city park and no, these are not leg warmers as you can clearly see the buttons.

These are custom knit sweaters, or so it at least appears, for trees.

Buttons…

First, a thorough analysis of the butter shortage crisis by a typical Norwegian. H/T Gates of Vienna for this one.

I must say, that’s a better analysis than the Scandinavian media which blames the butter shortage in Norway on the writings of Fjordman.

Here is a National Post explanation of the actual shortage. Like a typical communist nation, they are fining anyone bringing butter in from outside the country to compensate because, I dunno. I guess it makes their commie command and control dairy look bad unlike not having any butter doesn’t make them look bad for some reason.

Remember the drunk girl on the train, jailed over the holidays for expressing herself without sticking to the narrative?

Best and gutsiest Latma so far

Saturday Night Live should have been riffing on this stuff for years now. Just goes to show you that the so avant-garde SNL is actually a bunch of conformist gutless wonders, and certainly compared to this. Back in the day, all comedy troops took on serious truths like Latma does here. Today, you end up in front of a ‘Human Rights Commission’ if you even mumble an obvious truth.

Kim Jong Il’s death, a great loss to golf, as it is to us all.

From Yahoo.com:

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il’s death was noted on Twitter as an epic loss to golf, with hundreds recalling the Stalinist state media’s reports of Kim’s 11 holes-in-one in a single round in 1994.

Reports hailed Kim’s 38-under par 34 over 18 holes at the 7,700-yard Pyongyang Golf Course in his first try at golf, a feat watched purportedly by 17 security guards protecting the man hailed as “Dear Leader.” Continue Reading →
