My first love!…er, well, my first cyber love. First blog love? Even though we used to bat each other around a bit, and hardly ever agree on anything, you were always one of my favorite posters. I wish you a wonderful New Year. abby the squirrel » Posted By abby4ever On December 31, 2009 @ 3:25 pm Thank you very much, whats, and the same to you. » Posted By abby4ever On December 31, 2009 @ 12:44 am If there is an editor on thread now, could he or she please fix the little ‘article’ I just did entitled ‘A Wee Post’? There are some funny numbers that come after the name ‘abby’ and before the ‘Read More’ that shouldn’t be there, I screwed up…again. And the little square to the left that has the little red x in it, I don’t know what is supposed to be there . I’d very much appreciate it. » Posted By abby4ever On December 31, 2009 @ 12:41 am You say it much better than I ever could. » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 9:57 pm Ha! And a fine evening to you too, KQ! :] » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 9:55 pm Pepe: don’t talk about the troll anymore or your comments might have to be deleted all over again…and this one of mine, too. I can’t imagine anyone here taking what you said as an actual threat. Even if some did, I sure didn’t. You are adorable to worry so much. » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 6:31 pm Hi, you have some mail from me…and, as always, it is positively brilliant. abby » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 6:19 pm choice lady: I get your point, but it would take a real squirrel to openly accuse the President of causing Rush’s heart attack. I can’t see even an uber right-winger attempting anything like this; he would be laughed out, if not run out, of politics. » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 10:57 pm I suppose those of us who pray ought to pray for him…what to say, though, that’s the thing. » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 8:47 pm Don’t start on the Chuckie the Tuna thing or you will have me rolling on the ground all over again! LOL !!!!!!!!!!!! It just kills me, I don’t know why. Perhaps it isn’t Chuckie at all, perhaps I’m in the throes of some kind of nervous breakdown… » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 7:38 pm It’s a poltergeist who has taken up residence on this site. He is responsible for everything and anything that goes wrong here, and that’s a fact. His name is Percy. Percy the Poltergeist. » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 7:19 pm Going on your description of this Glenn Beck (I’ve never seen his show), he sounds like he is most definitely a man on a mission. Possibly even demon-possessed. But the photo of him! Why do so many right-wingers always look so clean-cut, clean-shaven, clean everything? As if they just came off a farm or out of a college classroom, or just emerged from a Southern Baptist prayer meeting (a really long one and where they did all the praying)? Is it purely for camouflage purposes? » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 7:16 pm Thanks for the video, boomer. What a hoot. » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 4:16 pm Forgive the ot post everyone…Ad Lib, you have a little mail. abby » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 4:09 pm I can’t stand it, I don’t know why this stuff about this tuna is making me laugh so hard. Who is this Charlie the Chicken of the Sea…is it a story or a cartoon or a film or…? » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 4:02 pm LOL!!! For some reason your post has me on the ground… » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 3:48 pm Ok. By the way, Scher: in addressing only the Hillary-Palin poll in my reply to your article, it may have seemed as if I was giving your (wonderful) article short shrift. Not so. I just know next to nothing about the topic. But I don’t have to know anything about it to say this much: some people around here can sure write. I.e. inform and engage in a most compelling way. And one of them is you. :] frown gone now » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 3:44 pm I was hard on Hillary during the primaries, unfairly so at times. I began to change my mind about her when I saw how she took her loss to Obama. I began to admire her, and my admiration has grown in seeing her perform as Secretary of State. I was hard on Palin too, but here, I have not changed my mind. I suppose it’s possible that I might, at some point in the future, but only just barely: nothing about this woman strikes a positive political chord with me. I just want to say that Hillary coming in only one percent above Palin, in this poll, is something I take to be one of the outrages of our time. (And I believe I’d have felt that way even if I had not changed my mind about Hillary.) » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 2:41 pm When To Give Terrorists What They Want And When Not To Marion: thanks for your really thoughtful post. No, I didn’t forget the Inciting Religious Hatred law or the British schoolgirl either; but if I’d mentioned everything that is going on over here, the article would have been 100 pages long. I didn’t forget the little schoolboy who was suspended because he wouldn’t kneel on a Muslim prayer mat for a Muslim teacher supposedly trying to ‘expand the child’s understanding of different faiths’, or the little girl from the same class who went home crying because the teacher had made her say ‘Allah’ rather than ‘God’ or ‘Jesus’ (the little girl was a Christian). As for the guy who wants to see the flag of Islam flying above 10 Downing Street, I am positive a radical cleric said it; it must be, given your post, that a noncleric has said it too. I imagine hundreds have said it. I may do another article on it, one more detailed. Or I may not, simply because sometimes it’s too depressing for words. It’s having a very negative psychological effect on nonMuslims in the UK, on the national psyche, as you well know. It’s hard for people in America to understand, it sounds incredible to them. Yet Tiger99 says it is starting to happen over there too. On a lighter note, I wish you a really fine New Year. » Posted By abby4ever On December 31, 2009 @ 4:36 pm test » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 12:49 pm Tiger99: thank you very much for your post. I didn’t know the same thing was going on in the States. Didn’t know you have honor killings over there. I thought some here would think I am either daft or hysterical to even worry that murder will ever be ripped out from under British law and put under Shariah law jursidiction. It may never happen…and yet if it did I would not die of shock, given what else has happened. (I’d die of grief, maybe, grief over what is happening to the UK, but not shock.) Over here we are being pursued by an extremely aggressive form of Islam, with our own culture seeming to fade slowly away, bit by bit. And now you tell me you have this same kind of thing over there. I have no quarrel with those who embrace peaceful Islam, with those who respect the law of the country they come to and want to settle in. I do have a big quarrel with those who, as I’ve said, want to subsume our culture under theirs. And an even bigger problem with a gov’t that would ever let them even attempt it, let alone accomodate it. Thank you for the links. » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 3:02 am Nellie: please be patient while I gather some articles for you, there are hundreds of them on every facet of this matter, plus I don’t know what sources you will not tolerate. Tell me which newspapers you positively will not read from, that will save me time and you some irritation. I assume you are ok with BBC stuff? In the meantime, my understanding is that the Shariah law courts deal mostly with family matters and, now, marriage and divorce matters…and those last two collide with the same in British Law. At first when they asked for Shariah law, they said they just wanted it for settling business disputes. Small matters. Then, somehow, it moved to marriage and divorce. Then it came out that some Muslim businessmen were not having to pay tax here because it was against Sharia law. This caused an uproar when it came out, did it ever. The biggest uproar was when we found out that (1) there were any of these courts in the UK, (2) how many there were, (3) how they were dotted all over the place, in almost every county, and last but certainly not least (4) that New Labour had forgotten to mention that there were ANY ANYWHERE. They knew how we would react. With the Muslim Council of Britain, it always starts out small, innocuous…and then grows like a snowball going downhill at top speed. Or, going back to a different metaphor I used in another post to you, it is a creeping kind of thing. As I’ve said, they can’t do murder cases yet and everyone says that will never happen…but then everyone said we’d never never have Shariah law in this country. One problem, the biggest, if they were allowed to try murder cases, is what are called honor killings. Currently, they are tried under British law. (But then so was divorce up until about two years ago.) These honor killings are so tied to family matters and family matters are so UNDER Shariah law jurisdiction, I don’t know how long it can last. They keep throwing up their religion which they say governs every part of their lives, every single part. (Taxes too, apparently. That came out of nowhere.) The treatment of women alone under Shariah law, should have stopped New Labour from ever allowing these courts. » Posted By abby4ever On December 30, 2009 @ 12:20 am THIS camel has got more than its nose in THIS tent, let me tell you. All that’s left to come in, is the hind quarters…and right behind that, Bedlam. As one Muslim cleric, a radical, once said (preached): he will never rest until he sees the flag of Islam flying above 10 Downing Street. Sorry I can’t recall his name but I can find out if you’re interested. As I recall, he is one of the radicals who happens to be living on state benefits over here. Yes, we sure know how to treat our radicals! (sark) » Posted By abby4ever On December 29, 2009 @ 11:34 pm The Muslims… and here I mean the terrorist ones and not the peaceful ones…have bigger bombs. I oversimplify that, but in essence…. » Posted By abby4ever On December 29, 2009 @ 10:51 pm I agree with most of this post of yours. I certainly wasn’t trying to create caricatures of Muslims or Arabs. But it WAS the Muslim Council of Britain… was and still is… that is pushing, pushing, pushing…what will the end be? From negotiation, to accomodation, to appeasement, to pacification… Arrrrrrrrrrgghhh! » Posted By abby4ever On December 29, 2009 @ 10:44 pm Bernard: here is just one of hundreds of articles on all different aspects of this Shariah law in the UK thing, it might interest you or it might not. It is a BBC report of 2008. Williams, The Archbishop of Canterbury, was positively roasted for the comments in this article. If you want to know more just Google something like ‘Shariah law should be allowed in the UK’ or simply ‘Sharia law in the UK’. I don’t suggest here that you are uninformed, on the contrary…again, I post the link just in case you might be interested in the depth of the debate. It really is starting to rip the UK apart. Here it is: » Posted By abby4ever On December 29, 2009 @ 10:36 pm A fine post, very thoughtful. » Posted By abby4ever On December 29, 2009 @ 10:19 pm I didn’t think were you saying that. If your brother has lived in Finsbury Park, he will know (and he must be a very brave person, too). In any case, we have problems over here. Big ones. Send help. :] » Posted By abby4ever On December 29, 2009 @ 10:16 pmComments Posted By abby4ever
