HAPPY NATIONAL AMMO DAY!

Thanks W…Adult…not Embryonic Stem Cells…grow your own organs: Professor Anthony Hollander, of the University of Bristol, said the advance had been achieved as a result of developments in stem-cell technology. “For stem-cell science, this is really exciting,” he said. “Without stem cells this procedure would not have been possible.”

Rick Moran: “Let Detrtoit go Bankrupt” is the title of Mitt’s piece in the New York Times and he pulls few punches in letting the auto industry have it for their many sins.

Ed Morrissey: If you can imagine Ayman al-Zawahiri singing The Banana Boat Song, perhaps you’ll get an idea of the irony — and the insult — of his message today to Barack Obama.  Zawahiri called Obama a “house slave”, which other translators changed to “house Negro”, in condemning Obama’s election.  If that sounds familiar, it should.

TigerHawk: FP Passport links to a cool “live” map that shows where there have been pirate attacks this year. The Times of London has a widely-linked article that considers some of the legal problems in going after pirates…The ugly truth is that the world has not developed a practical legal process for dealing with stateless murdering scumbags, whether their motivation is lucre or service to Allah. These bastards — pirates, jihadis, and so forth — are going to plague us until we do.

Thomas Jefferson would approve: “According to a news release issued today by the Indian Defense Ministry, the Tabar opened fire on a pirate ship after it came under attack Tuesday evening, leaving the burning vessel to sink. There was no mention of rescuing or capturing its crew.”
