Scary Arab Clowns here
For the record, we, the Scary Arab Clowns think Vago (Chris) is out of his mind too. We think he is twice as scary as us and thus we continue to pretend we are keeping him hostage out of fear for our sanity and lives. There is no telling what this lunatic will do next, in truth he has kidnapped us and forces us to pretend we have kidnapped him. It is all very confusing….to us and no doubt to you.
Thank you for your wonderful compliment on our grammar and vocabulary. We work harder than other clowns to be proficient in your language.
As to what we think you should do in America…by all means you should let the banks fail. Did you know that there is a real estate boom in Iraq right now? Trust us, the banks there failed miserably. They used to have a different currency. While we understand that chaos is not desirable, the truth is that your society has been being exploited and manipulated by bankers and thieves.
And did you know that sometimes you get fed what they think you want rather than what you really want or need? A good example of that is the laptop industry
We hate to be the ones to break it to you America, but your experiment has failed. It took a few wrong turns and now you are not the beacon of democracy you think you are, the inspiration to the world, or the leading edge of the future of the human race.
You are ensnared in a materialistic culture that focuses on the wrong things. Look to your Native American Churches, look to those practicing radical simplicity. We know, that you, like us, seek happiness and fulfillment in this life.
You might be amazed to know that those who have lest in this world are among the most satisfied and that even among those with most, there are those who also find satisfaction. Buddha told you this: Desire leads to suffering. What you need to consider further however is what the desire is and where it comes from. Desire comes from an empty spot in your being. If you think about it, you will rationally know that this cannot be filled with the material things of this world. Better hair, nicer car, more, bigger, and better security on any level cannot fill this void…
Jesus told you to give to God that which is his and to give to Ceasar that which is his…wise words. Ceasar can take material from you but when you give to God, your harvest increases.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said “Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when friendless. It guides us to happiness, it sustains us in misery, it is an ornament amongst friends and an armour against enemies.”
So yes, let your banks fail and learn that which can never be taken away. Plant food, ride bicycles, share with each other, and life will be good.
Oh, and by the way, we, the scary arab clowns, think your guns are very idiotic. It’s like growing poison in your garden.

The Bad News…and the Good News
There are two sides to every coin. Every good spawns an evil and every evil spawns a good. Not to mention, if you take the long view of things, black and white, good and evil…tend to become less distinct.
For example: The bad news is that 80+ people died in Mumbai attacks today. There really is no good side to that, however, it is good news that we have reached a point again where 80 people in a non-U.S/European country dying violently is worth the U.S. media noting. Not too long ago, this would have hardly gotten a mention. Think about that for a second and tell me if I am wrong.
On a different black and white note, I heard a couple of homeless guys talking earlier today at a bus stop and one of them asked the other how many black friends he had (the asker was black, the respondent was whitish), the whitish guy said some definite number. I don’t remember what it was, but the important thing is that I realized that if I were asked a question like that, I wouldn’t even know how to answer it. I’ve never counted my friends in terms of color or religion or gender or any other similar way. It would be easier to answer how many republican friends I have or how many friends that are missing fingers…anyway, it just struck me as a strange thing to ask and a stranger thing to have an answer to. is someone black if their dad was black or if they are from New Guinea or if they are Aboriginal? I have no idea. Maybe the easier question is how many bigots am I friends with…easy answer is none if I can help it.
And in response to the bombings in Mumbai, let me just say that the terrorists just made a huge mistake. India is not a country to fuck around with.

Update on Anarchist RNC welcoming Committee
Personally, I think they should have dressed up like Native Americans, broken into a warehouse and stolen tea, and turned the rivers into a giant tea party. Although, I do like the idea of throwing marbles into the street too. This is why discussing even ridiculous things is no longer safe in America.

ST. PAUL (Reuters) – Anarchists discussed kidnapping delegates and practiced throwing Molotov cocktails to disrupt the Republican National Convention, according to court documents released on Wednesday.
Eight people, described as leaders of the “RNC Welcoming Committee,” an anarchist group, were charged with felony riot, which carries up to a five-year prison sentence as St. Paul courts processed the 300 people arrested in protests during the presidential nominating convention’s first two days.
Separately, U.S. authorities said they had charged a 23-year-old from the state of Michigan with possessing Molotov cocktails, which they said he had planned to use to cut off power at the convention hall.
The documents painted a chilling picture of the plans behind Monday’s unrest, when a few hundred black-clad protesters smashed store windows and threw rocks and bottles at police, marring an otherwise peaceful antiwar march in the Minnesota capital.
“We have watched as a few lawless people tried to overshadow the peaceful protests and the exercise of free-speech rights by thousands of law abiding citizens,” Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner said at a news conference.
Over the course of a year before the convention, the self-described anarchists appealed to like-minded groups in more than 67 cities and met several times to hash out plans, according to the charges.
A separate affidavit from undercover agents who infiltrated the group said members had discussed stretching chains across a nearby highway, kidnapping delegates and disrupting the convention with burning tires, urine and feces, and explosives including Molotov cocktails.
Other plans included posing as workers or volunteers to sneak into the convention hall and block its outside air intake vent. They discussed using street puppets to hide weapons, and throwing marbles to trip up police horses and pedestrians, the affidavit said.
Gaertner said her office had charged 16 adults and 5 juveniles with felonies ranging from destruction of property to obstruction of legal process.
Felony charges were dismissed against 27 of those who had been arrested, which Gaertner said was a function of the difficulty of building a case given the chaos of the confrontations. Another 47 were charged with lesser gross misdemeanor crimes, St. Paul city attorney John Choi said.
Roughly 20 of those arrested had refused to give their real names, Choi said.
More protests are expected on Thursday, when John McCain will accept the Republican nomination for the November 4 election.

Carter’s warning, Prices rising, and Bin Laden’s driver.
If you enjoy conspiracy talk, you certainly know about the warning that Dwight Eisenhauer gave regarding the military industrial complex. A lesser known warning came from Jimmy Carter about the dangers of energy consumption.
Check this out from Drudge:
“The energy crisis is real. It is worldwide. It is a clear and present danger to our nation. These are facts and we simply must face them.” — Jimmy Carter, July 15, 1979
History has born Carter to be dead on.
In that same speech Carter proposed a cap on foreign oil imports and an ambitious conservation plan that included a 48-mile-per-gallon fuel efficiency standard for cars.
If that amount of savings was going on, United States would have no need to import a drop of oil from the Middle East
In the United States, donsumer prices were 5% higher than a year ago and rose 1.1% on a monthly basis, the Labor Department said yesterday. Energy prices were the main driver of price growth, and were 6.6% higher in June as the cost of petrol, natural gas and heating oil increased. As a result, the average weekly wages, after adjusting for inflation, fell by 0.9% in June – the biggest monthly decline in 24 years.
How does that feel? At least now you know you aren’t imagining it. I didn’t have the right tool to fix a flat on my moped recently and when I took it to the mechanic today it turns out he had raised the price of labor since two weeks ago when I talked to him. Cost then, $60 to repair the flat and put a new tire and tube on the bike. Cost now, right around $80. When I asked him why the price had gone up so much he told me that his prices had gone up because his expenses have gone up. I still feel like I’m being gouged but I had just pushed the damn thing a couple of miles to get it there. For the extra $20 I would have bought the god damn tool I needed. I’ll admit it though, I didn’t want to push it all the way back home. It’s more than the cost to replace a tire on a fucking car though! At least it gets 100 mpg.
In any event, I wouldn’t have thought twice about spending that $20 on a couple of drinks or a decent bottle of wine, so I let it go…mostly. I think I’ll be investing in some tools soon though.
Have you ever heard of Hawaiian Shave Ice? Well, now you can get Martian Shave Ice. The new Nasa lander is scraping ice from the surface of the red planet. So far the only flavor is dirt.
The stock market wizards keep pulling new tricks from their hats to keep stocks above the 11,000 mark. This is a psychological move since many investors now look at a drop below 11k as indicating with certainty that we are in a recession. I have no idea how they managed to get the cost of oil to drop with these bizarre rumours that the soured economy is lessening demand. You would think people would be conserving…but really, the big spenders in energy consumption haven’t slowed all that much. It’s all smoke and mirrors and despite the disdain I feel for the magicians tricking us, I tip my hat to them for pulling it off again. How long can they hold on?
The smoke and mirrors are good, no doubt, but see how it makes you feel to read about Osama Bin Laden’s driver giving testimony. The terror suspect is accused of conspiring with al Qaeda and providing material support for terror because he served as bin Laden’s $200-a-month driver and occasional bodyguard. Conviction could carry life imprisonment.
At this point I should admit that while was driving for a limousine service, several of my charges were war criminals within the Bush administration. I was not happy about the situation but I needed the job so I shuttled them back and forth from five diamond hotels to the U.S. Pacific Command (PacCom) for meetings with other big wigs. I know, shame on me for providing material support to Bush and his cronies. Funny that with all their security they either didn’t know or didn’t care that I was even then running a blog called Terror Suspect.

Banning the homeless, stealing coffee beans, Japanese suicide, Russian enemas, and ecoterror.
Honolulu council member Rod Tam has introduced a bill that would ban sleeping or lying down at bus stops. I think this is a great idea. Bus stops should be for bus riders. And they should look like this:
The problem with letting the homeless use bus stops as shelter is that it discourages other folks from riding the bus because not only do they sleep there, they shit and piss nearby, they leave their garbage (often their belongings), and they scare the hell out of timid commuters who might otherwise leave their cars at home.
We have enough cars on Oahu to circle the island 8.5 times if lined up end to end. That’s a lot of fucking cars. Way too many.
Tam is a controversial guy, either ignorant or naive depending on who you listen to. Recently he used the term ‘wet backs’ to describe hispanics, he claimed it was only because he was naive about the origin of the term…as odd as it sounds, that’s possible here in Hawaii. Local culture is pretty different from North America and sometimes folks here are pretty clueless about the political correct way of doing things. By nature, Hawaii is not a politically correct place. There is along history of people mercilessly making fun of each other here and nothing is off limits, not ethnicity, not gender, not deformities, not even sexual preference. All that is changing though.
Elsewhere in Hawaii someone stole half a ton of green coffee beans from Kailua-Kona. Big Island police are looking for 24-year-old Donimic Brooks, who is believed to be involved in the heist of the green coffee beans. My suggestion is look for the guy with the giant mug of coffee that he can’t hold without spilling.
Over in the other part of Hawaii, that we call Japan, there is an epidemic of the elderly killing themselves. I think it’s a good idea. The Japanese are sensible people. Always have been except for that idea about bombing Pearl Harbor.
And, those not so sensible Russians have unveiled a monument to the enema.
Tehy love to make statues in Russia, if not Lenin than an enema bulb. Lovely nurses though…they almost make it seem appealing.
Not so enjoyable is the conviction of Briana Waters, 32, of Oakland, Calif., in Tacoma (fair city of my birth). She was an Evergreen State College student who acted as a lookout in 2001 when others set fire to the Center for Urban Horticulture in Seattle. The Earth Liberation Front claimed responsibility, saying that researchers there were genetically modifying poplar trees.
