- So much happened this weekend! For example, a Nigerian flying on Northwest Airlines to Detroit on Christmas Day apparently tried to blow up his plane, which meant that another Nigerian flying the same route on Sunday freaked out everybody when he spent an hour in the bathroom with, presumably, the runs. [Los Angeles Times]
- How could this troubled young man, the attempted bomber, have slipped through the cracks? Because the authorities get so many tips about terrorism threats and suspects that they just ignore most of them. [Washington Post]
- Another big event this weekend: Santy Claus brought the people of Iran more violent protests that killed 10 people, including the opposition leader’s nephew. [New York Times]
- Thailand is sending about 4,000 Hmong refugees back to Laos, despite the wishes of the UN and the United States. [Reuters]
- Sorry, nerds! The iPhone is no longer available to New York City-based online buyers, due to a Grand Conspiracy. [CNET News]
- Director Roman Polanski spent the holiday season at a Swiss chalet and penned a thank-you letter to all his supporters, who are appalled that he might have to go back to the US to answer to a decades-old court case involving sex with a 13-year-old. [Guardian]

Neither the Testicle Bomber nor the guy with digestion issues is me, in case anyone was still wondering. I was at a Lady Gaga concert all weekend, and that’s my alibi.
Are these bombings because we didn’t give our bank account information to Nigerian Princes so they can put $8 million dollars into it?
Well, I’m going to reply back from now on for Freedum.
Hmmm, I’ve noticed that blogads has in their wisdum put an ad for a Michelle Malkin phone in show on book TV. I wonder how good their phone screeners are. I feel like asking her about ping pong balls and how it feels like to be the Asian equivalent of an Uncle Tom.
Back to Laos? Is that where the jobs are?
“New York is not ready for the iPhone” – Ahh think ah’ll move back to West Virgina.
I forgot to set my Outlook calendar. Does post-holiday depression start today or do I have to wait until next Monday?
Do New Yorkers need phones? Don’t they just yell at each other?
Nigerian Business Executive: When the FBI demands you prove your alibi by describing what Lady Gaga was wearing, in five words or less, you’re screwed.
All this while our Muslin president “holidays” in Hawaii. Asleep at the wheel? More like AWAY from the wheel. WAKE UP SHEEPLE, THE EMPORER HAS NO POWER/CLOTHES.
“I’m laotian”, “What, your’re from the Ocean?”, “No, Laotian, laotian” paraphrased from King of the Hill
[re=485428]Nigerian Business Executive[/re]: Wait a second – I heard that Lady Gaga is dead! That kind of blows a hole in your alibi, doesn’t it?
to ManchuCandidate:
I resent your implication that woman and I have anything to do with each other.
No TruckNutz under the tree again this year. Santa is a fucking douchebag.
[re=485438]UncleTom[/re]:
Ha.
I said AN Uncle Tom, not THE Uncle Tom.
Rep. Pete King calls for more “religious” profiling at airports since, in his words, “100 percent of the Islamic terrorists are Muslim”.
His logic is unassailable, no?
Thanks a lot Nigerian Testicle Bomber, now I’ll be getting my nuts squeezed at the airport by some TSA dolt and I won’t even be able to have a cigarette after my frisk’n.
Right, so some guy whose own dad reported him as a terrorist can get on a plane with explosives but I can’t bring a yogurt. I’ve worked with Homeland Security- they are a mess . It was thrown together too quickly.The people I worked with are much higher up than TSA agents and they didn’t know what they were doing.
First of all, just because the alleged terrorist is from Africa and may have tried to kill a lot of people doesn’t make it okay to throw around racial epithets like N*gerian.
Secondly, the word is raped. Polanski raped a thirteen-year-old girl.
[re=485452]finallyhappy[/re]: Hey, keep your yogurt off the plane! I hear it’s got live cultures. I don’t know what that means, but it scares the hell out of me.
Bellicose, fear-mongering, sanctimonious statement from the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Govermental Affairs in 4…3…2…
I heard that the TSA is now going to require a note from your parents.
Also, at least we know Polanski isn’t superstitious. [/Putney Swope]
[re=485436]red sky[/re]: I learned from KotH that Laos is landlocked.
[re=485428]Nigerian Business Executive[/re]: I actually did think of you, when I heard the news this morning, after waking from a four day drinking binge. Such exciting times!
[re=485458]Brendan M.[/re]: Anally raped, then “excused” himself on the grounds that he thought she was fourteen. Oh, but he’s a Great Artist, so all’s well. Except he never made a movie that wasn’t pretentious twaddle. But by saying so I’ve revealed myself to be a philistine and can heretofore be ignored. Happy “Roman Is Touched by Bernard-Henri Day”!
[re=485494]chaste everywhere[/re]: Uh…Chinatown?
Not that that excuses anal rape of a minor. Well, maybe a little bit, but still…
[re=485449]depraved indifference engine[/re]: Brilliant! Make all swarthy type folks ride the bus instead of airplanes, in the BACK of the damn bus for that matter…
[re=485430]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Yes but I still love her looooong time!
Excessive time on the thunder bucket is cause for alarm? Using that logic, I should grab five other big dudes, say Let’s Roll, then storm the lavatory when some old, smelly lady is taking too long to fight her yeast conflagration. It’s my patriotic duty to throw grandma from the plane. Mission accepted.
[re=485494]chaste everywhere[/re]: [re=485503]Mr Blifil[/re]: Yeah, I want to see him spend the rest of his life in prison, or at least a good chunk of it, and I find the selective morality of his supporters appalling, but I’m not going to question that rapist’s film-making abilities. I mean, if Hitler was the fifth Beatle, would you shit all over their discography?
Long/short of WaPo article: In 2008 Bush officials gave Crotch Terrorist a U.S. Visa. Liebermonkey furious.
When I phone in on Sunday., Jan. 3, 12-3pm ET, for sexy talking do I need credit card? How much per minute? She a man?
[re=485503]Mr Blifil[/re]: [re=485515]Brendan M.[/re]: Chinatown: Two words–”Oscar bait” (David Thomson and I are in a small minority on that one). Everything since then–pretty bloody boring, with the possible exception of “The Pianist,” though even that one has long stretches of dullness.
He’s under house arrest, it’s not like he’s in jail-jail, it’s something else entirely!
[re=485434]ChernobylSoup v2[/re]: Haha! That’s easy! “Cosmo-flavoured cotton candy!” Do compound words count as one word or two when they’re not hyphenated?
[re=485437]Mahousu[/re]: I don’t think it counts if she’s not “technically” alive in the traditional sense, as this pic clearly demonstrates.
[re=485491]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: Aw thanks! So imagine how I felt when I heard the news in the middle of my drinking binge! Did I actually do it and not remember because of the booze? No, I’m not in custody on my way to Gitmo, so it couldn’t have been me. Phew!
[re=485571]Guppy06[/re]: “Guppy” kinda rhymes with “Whoopi”! were you separated at birth, maybe?
While Roman’s criminal act is long overdue for punishment, it has to fuck with your head just a little bit to have your wife and baby “visited” by the Manson Family.
[re=485478]Dean Booth[/re]: Of course, he’s not superstitious. He had all those old farts hollering “Hail Satan!” in Rosemary’s Baby.
[re=485571]Guppy06[/re]: Chalet arrest–doesn’t sound like the hardest of hard time.
[re=485458]Brendan M.[/re]: In the lexicon of Great Artistes, “had sex with” = drugged and ass-raped.
A question I have yet to see anyone in the media address:
Given that the plane was about to land in Detroit, wouldn’t the passengers have preferred a fiery death?
I suppose it’s Hopey’s fault that the Nigerian airport didn’t use the body scanner, or that this idiot didn’t get his nuts frisked in Amsterdam…
Why didn’t Barack Obama’s grandmother see this terrorist attack coming when she faked her son’s birth certificate and planted it in Ohio?
The cops always get the wrong guy.
The real terrorist was in the head having a smoke.
Orally Taintz wants you!
Is this part of that “storm of planes” Uncle Al Qaeda promised us eight years ago?
