Bernie Ecclestone Formula One auto racing chief likes Hitler

Mussolini got the trains moving on time and Hitler was good at mobilizing people to get things done. These are the deep insights of Bernie Ecclestone, the ugly man who hold the commercial rights to Formula One racing. One should not get distracted by little things, like the murder of a few million Jews, according to Bernie. That would be so parochial. What matters is that Der Fuhrer made a weak country strong again. Bernie has evidently not heard that Adolf LOST a really big war. Bernie must have forgotten that his hero caused the destruction of Germany, of his own people. What precisely did he get done?

Muslims are rioting in Greece for the second day in a row, demanding respect. The rioting Muslims injured seven policemen, burned more than 70 cars and damaged ten stores and one bank. They shocked and frightened tourists who ran for cover in nearby hotels.

Non-Muslims are retaliating and things are heating up. Three people were hospitalized in Athens Saturday morning after unknown assailants threw a gas canister through the window of a Muslim owned store. The attack came a day after violent clashes between more than 1,000 Muslim protesters and Greek police in central Athens prompted by the alleged “mutilation” of a copy of the Koran by police.

JewishWorldReview | If anyone suggested that Tiger Woods should try to be more like other golfers, people would question the sanity of whoever made that suggestion.

Why should Tiger Woods try to be more like Phil Mickelson? If Tiger turned around and tried to golf left-handed, like Mickelson, he probably wouldn’t be as good as Mickelson, much less as good as he is golfing the way he does right-handed. Read more >

JewishWorldReview | It must be a bitter disappointment to those in the media and in politics who have been dying to use the word “recession” that, for the second quarter in a row, there has been no downturn in the economy, though growth has been slow.

Alarmists have been reduced to quoting other alarmists on the supposedly impending recession but that is still not the real thing.

The definition of a “recession” is very clear and straightforward: Two consecutive quarters of negative growth. We have not yet had one consecutive quarter of negative growth. Read more >

JewishWorldReview | Some of the people who are most adamant against outsourcing economic activity from the United States to other countries often seem to think we should outsource our foreign policy to “world opinion” or act only in conjunction “with our NATO allies.”

Like so many things that are said when it comes to public policy, there is very little attention paid to the actual track record of “world opinion” or of “our NATO allies.” Read more >

Cal Thomas’ analogy equating Islam to a slow spreading cancer whipped up a storm amongst the Islamists and their appeasers. We have frequently equated those appeasers to HIV. Like the virus, they weaken our immune system so the Islamists can move in for the kill. Analogies are used to provide insight and clarity. The cancer analogy is useful but imprecise, so we borrowed a better one from Mother Nature, the source of all good analogies.

We are talking, of course, about the relationship between the ichneumonid wasp Hymenoepimecis argyraphaga and the orb-weaving spider Plesiometa argyra. Dr. William G. Eberhard’s paper explaining the parasitic relationship in the Journal of Arachnology is here. Damn Interesting has an excellent summary in Mind-Controlling Wasps and Zombie Spiders.

In the forests of Costa Rica, there lurks a sinister variety of wasp, bent on hijacking the minds of hapless spiders for its own ends. Left unmolested, a variety of orb spider known as “Plesiometa argyra” spends every day of its life carefully reconstructing its perfectly round web, and feasting on the insects unfortunate enough to become snagged upon it. But should one of these spiders fall victim to this as-yet-unnamed species of wasp, the spider is stripped of its free will, and made to spend the last evening of its existence building a protective shelter for the larvae that infect it.

It is a true example of mind control in nature, and though scientists are well aware of the method of infection, they are uncertain exactly how the mind control is accomplished. When a wasp successfully attacks a host spider, the spider is temporarily paralyzed as the wasp lays eggs on the tip of the spider’s abdomen. Once the wasp departs, the spider regains its ability to move, and it continues its daily web construction for the next two weeks as though nothing has changed. Meanwhile, the wasp’s growing larvae cling to the spider’s belly and feed on its juices through a number of small punctures.
