clipper's remarks: It is not the first time Baron-Cohen has duped a spy master. Alluding to the assassination of John F Kennedy, he once asked the former CIA boss James Woolsey to "go back to the grassy knoll" and reveal "who actually shot JR".

Courage of the flip-flop: Has McCain got it?

clipper's remarks: Like when it was demonstrated to him that his religious companions were bigots that advocated murder. Was it cowardice or courage or the pope and the Catholics that made him have such a radical change of mind and dump his fundamentalist 'friends'?

Apparently they have dumped him back. Hagee has put out a statement saying that he withdraws his endorsement from McCain because he has “become a distraction in what should be a national debate about important issues.”

It takes one type of courage to drop bombs from the sky. Another altogether to order men into battle. A far greater courage to bring home the troops. Which courage does McCain have? Bush landed on a carrier. He wore the uniform. Did he demonstrate any courage?

Courage of the flip-flop

It's easy to be a conviction politician. Real bravery consists of changing tack according to the evidence

Clip Source: www.nobeliefs.com

Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk

The trouble with most people is not that they lack the courage to stick to their guns, but they don't have the greater bravery to change course. Consistency is a good thing, but not when it is understood as simply refusing to change your mind

Indeed, one of the best reasons for changing your mind is precisely to become more consistent. If you backed biofuels for environmental reasons, then it would be consistent with your beliefs to drop that support if you became convinced that biofuels weren't that green after all

Clip Source: silencedmajority.blogs.com

In February, McCain said he was “very honored by Pastor John Hagee’s endorsement.” After controversy broke out over offensive comments made by Hagee, McCain originally evoked Hagee’s support for Israel as his reason for continuing to embrace his support. McCain’s full statement is here.

Consistency is much more important at a time than over time.

Muscular bronze stallion with weird human genitalia advertises provincial hotel

A bronze sculpture of a stallion holding a piece of rail in its mouth was built last week in the yard of Yar Hotel

The stallion has a short-cut tail and the well-marked reproductive organ which greatly resembles the one of a man

Maxim Dikunov named his stallion Yaryzh and said that it symbolizes the struggle between nature and civilization.

According to Maxim’s mother, the management of Yar Hotel arranged a contest to choose the sculpture which could perfectly express the atmosphere of the hotel. A lot of sketches were suggested to the hotel administration. Finally they choose the stallion.

When the sculptor’s father was asked about the stallion’s human sex organ he said that “it is just a matter of nature and peopel should not stick noses in it.”

Yana Chernyshova, the hotel’s director, said that she liked this sculpture very much.

She said that the artist exceeded her expectations

it was exactly what she wanted.

Cow dung fate for 'manure bomber'

Clip Source: farm1.static.flickr.com

Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk

A woman fell into a tank of slurry as she tried to make "manure bombs" using her stockings, German police today said.

The unfortunate woman stripped off her foul smelling clothes and fled the scene naked, along with a female accomplice wearing just her bra and pants, a police spokesman told Reuters.

Clip Source: online.wsj.com

Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk

It is unclear what the women were going to do with the manure-filled stockings, but officials suspect it could have been related to Germany's 3-2 victory over Turkey in the Euro 2008 semi-finals that day.

Clip Source: www.saundersallotment.co.uk

Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk

The two women entered a farm in the northern village of Eberholzen, Lower Saxony, on Wednesday evening and started to fill the stockings from the slurry tank.

"One of them slipped into the manure tank, right into the cow muck," said the spokesman. "The other one helped her out. We found their clothes in a field. One seems to have run off naked, the other in her underwear."
