More on the Oslo Human Torch
16 May 2012 | 8:33 amConcerning the man who set himself on fire yesterday in front of the courtroom in Oslo (see the post and video here), our Norwegian correspondent The Observer sends this additional information:Here’s a brief update on the ‘human torch’ incident. I’ve had a look in the Norwegian newspapers, and according to VG.no the man in question is a Norwegian citizen originally from Tunisia. He arrived in Norway in the late 1980s and has apparently been living in Sweden for several years, where he also has several children.The article goes on to say that the police in Norway have had dealings with… -
Upholding the Law… American Law
16 May 2012 | 1:20 amOnly American law should be used in American courts. Foreign law — especially foreign law that violates the U.S. Constitution, federal law, or state law — should not be considered when adjudicating cases under American jurisprudence.This is a no-brainer. It shouldn’t be controversial, but it is.It wasn’t significant until the specter of Shariah loomed over the judicial system of the United States. Then it became “discriminatory”, an “infringement on religious freedom under the First Amendment”, and — dare we say it? — “racism”.A couple of days ago Kansas became the… -

For those interested in haruspicy, the avian entrails do not bode well for the new leader of the Fifth Republic.In other news, Moody’s ratings agency downgraded the debt of 26 Italian banks. The trade association for Italian banks considers this move an “aggression” against the Italian people.To see the headlines… -
A Hot Time in Oslo
15 May 2012 | 12:51 pmA man set himself on fire today in front of the courthouse in Oslo where Anders Behring Breivik is being tried. He attempted to break through police barricades, and demanded that police shoot him. Then he fell down, and police officers extinguished the flames.One report says he is a “foreign national”, and the Norwegian MSM haves pixellated his face in the news videos, so he is almost certainly a culture-enricher.Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for uploading this video:Below are excerpts from an article in The Local about the incident:Man in Flames Tried to Enter Oslo CourtA man set himself on… -
The People’s Church
15 May 2012 | 12:11 pmThe Norwegian parliament has decided to abolish the state church and replace it with a “people’s church” or something similar. Our Norwegian correspondent The Observer has translated a news story about today’s decision, and includes some background for non-Norwegian readers:Here’s an article that deals with the separation of church and state in Norway.I am in principle a supporter of such a separation, as I consider religion to be a private matter (and besides, the church in Norway is a joke, as it is heavily controlled by non-Christian members of the parliament).However, I am…

"What is this?!" he kept saying. Another sportsman told me he only received part of his 2011 salary in March 2012. Players are being signed up a month at a time. These are people who were well off here in Greece, and by far and large they still are. I mean they are still managing to pay for private… -
Potty, dolphins, biking and the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

The dolphins at the Attiko Parko show flamingos at the Attiko Parko ZooI think we really need to get some time away from them - we are so tired of repeating the same things over and over again that it's just driving us nuts (and how crazy am I to be going to Geneva with them for 2… -
