PTBC speed round for Wednesday

image1. Intriguing story about a Nazi named Aribert Ferdinand Heim, also known as “Dr. Death”, who fled after the War and has been on the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s most wanted list all this time, but who, it has now been discovered, lived in and died in the 1990s as “Tarek Hussein Farid” after moving to Egypt and converting to Islam.  Tarek Hussein Farid.  Huh. 

For Nazi Doctor, New Life in Cairo Provided a Haven

“Dr. Heim had a habit of looking into inmates’ mouths to determine whether their teeth were in impeccable condition,” Mr. Kohl said, according to a transcript of the interview. “If this were the case, he would kill the prisoner with an injection, cut his head off, leave it to cook in the crematorium for hours, until all the flesh was stripped from the naked skull and prepare the skull for himself and his friends as a decoration for their desks.”
—Josef Kohl, a former inmate at Mauthausen, on Jan. 18, 1946, less than a year after the German surrender.


2.   The Great Obama has a plan to cap, and then freeze, executive salaries for some of those companies getting federal “stimulus” aid.  Could be insanely unconstitutional, methinks, but don’t worry, according to Obamathink, that’s OK when it concerns corporate types.  Just so long as you apply the full force of the American constitution and the Geneva Conventions to foreign “alleged” terrorists and warriors at Gitmo.  (And by the way, there will be no caps and freezes on the millions in taxpayer-paid fees the lawyers will collect when terrorists are brought before traffic court for their li’l misdeeds, post-Gitmo.  Funny, that.) 

The administration also will propose long-term compensation restrictions even for companies that don’t receive government assistance, Obama said. Those proposals include:
• Requiring nonbinding “say on pay” resolutions — that is, giving shareholders more say on executive compensation.
• A Treasury-sponsored conference on a long-term overhaul of executive compensation.

Oh that sounds free. 


3.    Democrats “stimulus” package excludes “stimulus” in buildings where Christians pray.  Some folks say, “President Obama’s version of faith-based initiatives is to remove the faith from initiative” ... and “It’s not frivolous to say there’s a constitutional problem with excluding religious facilities from these grants…”

Conservative Groups Declare Obama’s Stimulus Bill a War on Prayer

Democrats in Congress have declared war on prayer, say conservative groups who object to a provision in the stimulus bill that was passed by the House of Representatives last week.

The provision bans money designated for school renovation from being spent on facilities that allow “religious worship.” It has ignited a fury among critics who say it violates the First Amendment and is an attempt to prevent religious practice in schools.

According to the bill, which the Democratic-controlled House passed despite unanimous Republican opposition, funds are prohibited from being used for the “modernization, renovation, or repair” of facilities that allow “sectarian instruction, religious worship or a school or department of divinity.”

Oh that sounds real free.


image 4. Speaking of freedom, liberals are against this (at left)... so buy two.  Use our link and we get a tiny commission, thereby driving liberals nuts.


5.   And re that Ann Coulter, I’m about to post her latest column.  I bet it has something to do with liberals being knuckleheads.  UPDATE:  It does.


6. What do you get when Ann Coulter and Megyn Kelly appear on the same show on Fox News Channel?  ..... Somebody ... please help .... me….  I appear to ...have found ...myself ...on the…floor… OK I’m alright…now….   You get my undivided attention.  Watch it below.


7.  USA Today picks up my blog entry on Nancy Pelosi... (and picks up reader daverbonz’s comments in the excerpt!  Hey daverbonz now you can say your opinions have been published in USA Today!)

    “I am a Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship God in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and for all mankind.”

    The Right Honourable John G. Diefenbaker, Prime Minister of Canada, House of Commons Debates on the Cdn. Bill of Rights, July 1, 1960
