Let's Get Our Act Together

Bomb-sniffing dogs to wear “booties” in Muslim homes

Guidelines being drawn up by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) urge awareness of religious sensitivities when using dogs to search for drugs and explosives. The guidelines, to be published this year, were designed to cover mosques but have been extended to include other buildings.

Ibrahim Mogra, one of Britain’s leading imams, said the measures were unnecessary: “In Islamic law the dog is not regarded as impure, only its saliva is. Most Islamic schools of law agree on that. If security measures require to send a dog into a house, then it has to be done. I think Acpo needs to consult better and more widely.

“I know in the Muslim community there is a hang-up against dogs, but this is cultural. Also, we know the British like dogs; we Muslims should do our bit to change our attitudes.”

Barack Obama Now Wears His Patriotism On His Lapel

Posted by On the Right on Saturday, July 05, 2008 2:38:22 PM
Strange new respect: Obama wraps himself in the flag

Tired of having his patriotism questioned, the Democratic candidate has made Old Glory a major visual element of his campaign.

When the flag-pin issue arose in October, Obama said he had made a deliberate choice not to wear one shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks because he believed the pins had become a "substitute for, I think, true patriotism."

"You start noticing people wearing a lapel pin but not acting very patriotic," he said then. "Not voting to provide veterans with resources that they need. Not voting to make sure that disability payments were coming out on time."

The Struggle against Jihad and Islamic Supremacy  An American writer says that it's time to draw the line.

al-Qaeda's Plan 'B'  "Western civilization is doomed. Its last bastion, America, lacks the will for a long war."

Supply And Demand

Posted by On the Right on Saturday, July 05, 2008 12:00:49 AM
There is no mystery behind the rise in oil prices. They rose too high too fast because of booming demand for oil for petrochemical products, electric power and shipping from many emerging economies (particularly China, India and the Middle East). Meanwhile, the supply of oil slipped in the US, Mexico, Venezuela, Nigeria and Russia.

Obama & Oil

Posted by On the Right on Friday, July 04, 2008 11:23:11 PM

Barack Obama's new ad says he "worked his way" through college and law school. But his campaign says he had two summer jobs.

FactCheck.org: Obama's Work Claim

"When somebody opens a business, they're speculating. When somebody fills two gas cans, they're speculating that the price today is cheaper than it will be in the future."

The Economist: The Oil Price: Don't Blame the Speculators

"If you take the speculators out like the Democrats are suggesting, all you're going to do is move the speculators offshore to places like Dubai and lose American jobs -- and also lose control over the market. Is that what they want?"

"How come none of the senators from these ethanol states ever complain about the speculation in corn or wheat that's driven up the prices of bushels? It's only oil. Why is that? It's because they have a bias against oil."

New research from the journal Energy Policy sheds some light on the UK’s experience with wind power and its most damning drawback: variability. As my good friend and fellow Planet Gore contributor Sterling Burnett writes: Because wind is an intermittent resource, wind farms must rely on conventional power plants to back up . . .
