Bey IV said he had to “sacrifice a soldier” to “take out” the Oakland Post editor to protect the bakery, according to the statement taken by the Alameda County District Attorney’s office from a confidential informant. Bey IV remains uncharged in the Aug. 2, 2007 killing of Bailey; he is jailed awaiting trial on unrelated kidnapping and torture charges.

For those who haven’t been paying attention: “Hudna” is a temporary truce that Muslims are allowed to do during jihad when they need a break to rest and re-arm. There is no permanent peace when it comes to Islam. Remember, “Islam” doesn’t mean “peace”, it means “submission”.

As horrified passengers fled the bus, Li severed McLean’s head and displayed it to some of the passengers outside, witnesses said.

A police report said an officer at the scene saw the attacker hacking off pieces of the body and eating them.

Although why this is necessarily a bad thing is by no means clear.

The issue matters because American universities rely on foreign students to fill slots in graduate and postdoctoral science and engineering programs.

I guess American students aren’t applying for those positions? So why are we training foreigners? Do we get some kind of scoring points for beating other countries out for foreign students? (And can those points be redeemed for valuable prizes? Somehow I suspect that they can.)

Making a truce with jihadis is like making a truce with the Mafia:

1. They lie.
2. They fully intend to break it once it’s to their advantage to do so.
3. They have no control over their fringe elements.

It’s a wonder that people don’t catch on. There appear to be an awful lot of delusional folk in the world.

One of the inconvenient truths about abortion-on-demand. Cultures that value males over females can now make it happen — and, historically, cultures with an excess of young men over young women eventually turn to war.

So apparently the plan was:

1. Take advantage of the opportunity of the crisis to spend a ton of money on stuff the Democrats have been trying to spend money on for the last 40 years but haven’t been able to get through Congress, making loud scary noises whenever it looked like the herd was calming down;
2. Hope that enough special interest groups find something to their advantage in the ton of spending that they’ll stick with the Democrats while saying to hell with the rest of the country.

It might work. Guess we’ll see.

Jeff Jarvis is on the right track.

The complaint is that state government won’t get “covered” if newspapers die.

How about we crowdsource that? Every trendy issue has “interest groups” that pay attention to it. We just need to have these guys cover the local level like a blanket and blog about it.

And having transparent government is a good step in the right direction, as well. Any resident of locality X ought to be able to get every vote cast and every public word spoken by his representative(s) with just a computer and an Internet connection — like the ones available at public libraries.

Here it comes, the reaction I’ve been predicting since Sept. 11. No matter how craven the politicians may be, the common people know what’s at stake, and when the government refuses to protect the nation, the nation will take steps to protect itself.

It starts on the fringe, with those who are inclined to adopt violence in their daily lives as a matter of course, but as things get worse it will more and more penetrate the community.

Professor Stephen Hopper, director of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, in London, argues that the world is currently too reliant on just a handful of key species of edible plants for food.

He warned the combined threat of disease, climate change and lack of diversity in commercial crops has left the dozen staple species that provide the bulk of the global food supply – such as wheat, maize and barley – increasingly vulnerable.

He said farmers and consumers in Britain needed to increase the range of crops they grow and eat, to safeguard food supplies in the future.

That is, if what you eat is plants. We carnivores tend not to worry about a lack of corn or vegetables. Of course, potatoes would be a sad loss.
