ps. Nothing has happened yet. Is that clear?

NEW YORK — A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said he Believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement.

He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

“Al-gebra is a problem for us,” Gonzales said. “They desire solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.

They use secret code names like ‘x’ and ‘y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns’, but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.

As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, ‘There are 3 sides to every triangle’.”

When asked to comment on the arrest, George W. Bush said, “If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes.”

Aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President.

Thanks Zahra for sending this to me.

The Minister of Defence is starred at the technical details of what is claimed to be “the most advanced naval cannon in the world” (see) (see). I know exactly nothing about things in the military but from my experience as an engineer I suggest they cover all these hoses and wires.

Another view from an Israeli author (see).

Any request in Internet search engines for the words “genocide” against “Muslims”, “Arabs” or “Palestinians”, in the context of “Zionists” or “Israel” – will give us endless results. Even after we’ve filtered out the trash, we are left with millions of publications written in deadly seriousness.

Any response?

History over the “propagation of the faith with the sword” is a bad legend, one of the myths of Europe during the long war against the Muslims – the reconquest of Spain by the Christians, the cross driver, the defense of the Turks, who would have conquered almost Vienna. I have the suspicion that also the German Pope believes honestly in this fairy tale. That became means that the head of the catholic church – even a considerable theologian – did not make itself the trouble to study the history of the other religions.

Why did he express these words in the public? And why now?

One can see it now only on the background of the new crusade of Bush and its fundamentalist-Christian supporters as well as its slogans of the “Islamofaschismus” and “the global war against the terror” – after “terrorism” became a synonym for the Muslims. Because for Bush’s other accomplices is this a zynischer attempt to justify the rule over oil resources of the world. It would not be the first time in the course of history that a religious Maentelchen is spread over naked economic interests; it would not be the first time that a raid becomes the “crusade”
