Flying Imams Want Airline Security Information

Uhhh… you’ve got to be kidding, right? The trial for the notorious “flying imams” has now reached the evidence discovery phase, and a CAIR-NY attorney for the imams is requesting that US Airways cough up information on their airline safety procedures:

Omar Mohammedi, attorney for the imams, and President of the Board of Directors for the New York Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, went first. His motion was for the judge, Arthur Boylan, to compel US Airways to divulge its training manuals, and information on its security procedures, so that they could show that the security procedures were not followed down to the last jot and tittle when the imams were removed from US Airways Flight 300 on November 20, 2006.

Those of you who are following this case closely might be thinking “Arthur Boylan? What happened to Ann Montgomery?” The PACER database reports that Ann Montgomery is the presiding judge, and Arthur Boylan is a referral judge. Ann Montgomery will still be the judge at the trial in 2009.

When I realized what Mohammedi was asking for, I was briefly dazed, as I heard the sound in my mind’s ear of a thousand bloggers screaming something to the effect of “Ok, let me get this straight. A group of imams led by a fundraiser for a Muslim charity (the Holy Land Foundation) which was shut down by the Treasury Department for its connections to Hamas, is asking a judge to compel an airline to divulge its security procedures. And everyone’s OK with that?!?”

How about: “No.”

It seems evident that the imams are on an exploratory mission to obtain information on post-9/11 airline security procedures. While the CAIR-NY lawyer may claim that this is a standard request, and something to protect the civil rights of their clients, this information would undoubtedly fall into the hands of terrorists. If the judge doesn’t comply this request, is it reasonable to assume that Leaky Leahy and now Chuck Schumer would be happy to oblige?

Manson Follower Denied Release

You gotta love it when the liberal mainstream media tugs at the heart strings of America, asking for a “compassionate release” of a stone-cold killer. That’s exactly what has been called for by many media outlets (here’s a cursory google search) over Manson follower Susan Atkins, responsible for the stabbing death of Sharon Tate, and now dying of terminal brain cancer.

Well, score one for the good guys. Susan Atkins was just denied release from prison. Take that, liberal media! The public has shown that brain cancer doesn’t make you any less of a douchebag, and it doesn’t make you exempt from your prison sentence. Luckily, the California Board of Parole agrees that a life sentence is a life sentence:

The state parole board on Tuesday denied a request for compassionate release to Charles Manson follower Susan Atkins, who stabbed actress Sharon Tate to death nearly 40 years ago and is dying of brain cancer. The Calfornia Board of Parole released its unanimous decision hours after a 90-minute hearing, during which it heard impassioned pleas from both sides.

Shock Video: Road Rage Against Cyclist

Here’s a real douchebag: James F. Millican, a 21-year-old Oregon resident, who engaged in a road rage incident with a cyclist. Millican allegedly chased down cyclist Jason Scott Rehnberg with his car, and then drove off at a high rate of speed, with Rehnberg clinging on to the car hood. Following the incident, Millican was arrested for attempted second-degree assault, driving under the influence of intoxicants, third-degree criminal mischief and reckless driving. After learning that his court date had been postponed, Millican asks the judge:

“So I have to stay in jail now…for a whole week?”

It’s probably going to be a lot longer than that, douchebag.

Millican had apparently become agitated at the cyclist when he had yelled for the driver to slow down. Here’s the shock video:

2500 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall…

Foster’s Melbourne Bitter: Australian for Drunk.

The Douchebag Report salutes Michael Leary, an Australian construction worker for drowning his sorrows with good ol’ beer… to the tune of A$1000 ($972 US) per week. The Northern Territory News reports that the father of four experienced distress after breaking up with his lover, and turned to the bottle… well, about 2,500 bottles per month. Leary was convicted of his seventh drunk-driving offense, but was not sentenced to jail. At least the judge had a sense of humor:

The magistrate also poked fun at Leary’s favorite beer, Melbourne Bitter, in a part of the country where drinkers can be as loyal to beer brands as they are to football teams.

“(That is) poor judgment on two counts there — drinking that much and drinking Melbourne Bitter,” magistrate Vince Luppino was quoted as saying.

Slainte!

You Had Me At ‘Waaah’

Take that, Dick Durbin! When interrogators aren’t forcing Guantanamo Bay detainees to play with deflated basket balls, listen to rap music, and forced to eat repetitive meals, they’re making little boys cry. A video released to the public shows then 15-year-old Omar Khadr, crying for his mother, while reciting other teenage anthems such as “you don’t care about me.” What separates this young douchebag from the other teenagers is that he is accused of throwing a hand grenade that killed a U.S. soldier during a battle in Afghanistan.

Well, Mr. Durbin… so much for your Nazi prison camp and Pol Pot references, huh? Interrogators are accused of talking harshly and bringing tears to the eyes of a prisoner? Oh the humanity! If you’re old enough to kill a soldier, you’re certainly old enough to face interrogation, and, well cry if you have to… cry if you have to… cry if you have to… you would cry too if it happened to you.

Douchebag.
