This one grew on me like the “Mac or PC” Rap. Pretty cool and you might learn something.

Sometimes news items just leap on the wordpress all by themselves… I guess the other cars of the world just didn’t have enough “bang” for the Buck ….. anymore.
I’m guessing they are using that Pinto design that was ahead of its time.
Looks like they will call this model…the “Proton”.. As names like..
“the Surge”,
“Boom”,
“Bam”,
“Terrorist” and
“Jihad”
were already taken by other car makers…
The features include (and as Dave Barry would say… I swear Im not making this up…)
Proposed by Iran, the collaboration would include installing features in automobiles such as a compass to determine the direction of Mecca for prayers, and compartments for storing the Quran and headscarves.

This one should talk about it too. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Malaysian_car_maker_unveils_’Islamic_car’

This whole Iraq war is ugly, but this sickened me even more than usual tonight.
Ahmed al-Janabi, a 45-year-old father of three was shot multiple times in his eyes, and killed for what was on his ID cards. He was a teacher and father of three children. A Sunni.
I expect hellish amounts of public denouncement in outrage from all muslim countries over this, but especially the shiite ones.

Frankly, every arab muslim leader should pledge to stop the violence in memory of this innocent teacher.

Item#1
Iran president Ahmadinejad is visiting the US. Per the news, he was declined to lay a wreath at the Ground Zero site. This is the guy that supposedly didn’t believe that the halocaust happened. Weird and interesting guy. Dennis Miller referred to him as “AquaVelvaJad”
Item#2
First Dubai and now Qatar are buying significant stakes in our US and European stock markets. Ummm. Maybe that needs to be checked on?

Item#3
GE Plastics that made Lexan, a super tough clear plastic that is capable of stopping bullets was recently purchased by a Saudi Arabian company called SABIC. Umm. Maybe that should be checked on too.
Just raising a Spock’s eyebrow at this point…
