re: "Darwinian Tourism Still Thrives In Egypt"

DMartyr at The Jawa Report ("Sand people: get it?") accounted for two American tourists who went missing in Egypt.

Money quote(s):

"Many parts of the world are not a safe place for foreigners. We, living in America, tend to take security for granted. Travel the world, enjoy your life. Just use a little common sense."

Many places in the world are no more dangerous than your home town. The dangers in those places, however, will often take forms different from the hazards you routinely avoid in your everyday life.

Of course, some places are way more dangerous than your home town.

Americans planning overseas travel would do well always and everywhere to take a lot at the Country Specific Information that the State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs takes such pains to compile and update.

re: "NC Democrat Recommends Suspending Next Congressional Election"

DMartyr at The Jawa Report ("Sand people, get it?") noted a statement by NC Governor Beverly Perdue:

"You have to have more ability from Congress, I think, to work together and to get over the partisan bickering and focus on fixing things. I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that. The one good thing about Raleigh is that for so many years we worked across party lines. It's a little bit more contentious now but it's not impossible to try to do what's right in this state. You want people who don't worry about the next election."

Money quote(s):

"I was reading an unrelated article where a commenter suggested the possibility that the Obama Administration is deliberately stoking racial and class tensions with the intention of inciting riots and anarchy in the streets. The Administration would then declare Martial Law and use that as a pretense to delay or suspend the 2012 Presidential election.

I laughed at the suggestion. Until I read the article above."

re: "Obama's Gift To Cameron: Wood Burning Grill"

DMartyr at The Jawa Report ("Sand people: Get it?") noted another deliverable from somebody's protocol shop.

Money quote(s):

"Its actually a pretty nice gift, if you ask me. It's American made, grilling is an American past time, and it commemorates a service for our Troops. I'm actually impressed with the thought that went into the gift."

Concur. Much improved over previous efforts.

re: "President Sued For War Crime"

DMartyr at The Jawa Report ("you know, sand people") has some breaking news.

Money quote(s):

"No, the loony democrats are not suing George W. Bush for going into Iraq to kill Islamic terrorists (at least, not yet). Republican Bipartisan lawmakers are suing President Obama for illegally going to war against Libya"

I suppose they've got standing, after all, given what the Constitution actually says. It'll be quite interesting to see how this plays out in the courts.

re: "DHS's Communications Chief: "I Swear To F--king God I Am Going To F--king Decapitate" ICE Press Shop Staff"

DMartyr at The Jawa Report points out a clear failure to communicate.

Money quote(s):

"Apparently, communication is his f--king expertise.

DHS's Napolitano must be so proud."
