This has been bothering me for a while and I was going to just ignore it, but some of my favorite bloggers have been stooping to this new low of insulting Barack Obama using his middle name.

Sen. Barack Hussein Obama, a major presidential contender (for 2008), does it matter if he is a Muslim or not? Should it matter? Plus he is Black, should that matter? If you are saying it shouldn’t, why is he hiding or eliminating his middle name (is he not proud of his father’s given name?), [...]

Is it Barack Hussain or Hussein OBAMA? Well according to this article it may even be "Muhammad"! "Rumor Two: Obama’s middle name is not “Hussein” but “Muhammad.” As Politifact notes, all available public records going back to 1991 refer to the candidate as “Barack H.

~Robert~ On Friday, Vets for Freedom PAC released an advertisement featuring Iraq war veteran Sergeant Garrett Anderson. The ad points out that Senator Obama was unwilling to meet with Illinois veterans, has never met with General Petraeus, and hasn't visited Iraq in over two years.

For those about to use Barack Obama's middle name in referring to him, I ask this question: Do you really think that people don't know what you mean when you say it?Sure, some people are called by their full names. However these people are rare, usually just use an initial and choose to present themselves that way. For example, we don't talk about John Sidney McCain. It is not conventional to use the middle name. Using it means something, and those about to use it know what it means.It's coded language. It carries baggage - the Obama is a secret Muslim, or that he has been tainted by his Muslim heritage. Yes, it is his name. It is not automatically illegitimate to use it. But it is no more normal to say it with emphasis than it is for someone to call McCain "Sidney" exclusively. S

AP Photographer Granted Iraqi Amnesty By Robert H. Reid Associated Press BAGHDAD (AP) — An Iraqi judicial committee has dismissed terrorism-related allegations against Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein and ordered him released nearly two years after he was detained by the U.S. military. Hussein, 36, remained in custody Wednesday at Camp Cropper, a U.S. detention facility near Baghdad's airport. A decision by a four-judge panel said Hussein's case falls under a new amnesty law. It ordered Iraqi courts to "cease legal proceedings" and ruled that Hussein should be "immediately" released unless other accusatio

~Snooper~Well, it looks like Gov Richardson is going for the VP slot for Barack. I find this curious. I also now further question his rationale.In light of the poll numbers spiraling into the cistern within the Abyss of Obscurity that Obama is fast approaching, why is it that this endorsement comes at this pivotal time? Simple. Gov Richardson is a bigot as well.He just made it official and Fox News carried it live.Will it distract from the Rezko - wright quagmire which reveals what a crook and bigot Barack is? Will it distract from the fact that Barack isn't even close to being fit to be President?There is some chatter going about at Hot Air and ABC Blog. It will be interesting where this all goes.More at memeorandum...

That title was not a misprint. Even Karl Rove, Bush’s right hand man, has reportedly told Republicans to stop calling Obama by his middle name Hussein. According to The Atlantic.com, Karl Rove met with Republican state directors in a closed door meeting in January, and told them they should not go down to that level. Rove told Republicans that calling him Barack Hussein Obama would give voters the impression that Republicans are bigots and could potentially damage the party. “The context was, you're not going to stigmatize this guy. You shouldn't underestimate him,” one of the directors said. Rove suggested that Republicans refer to Hillary Clinton as Senator Clinton and Barack Obama as Senator Obama, the honorific which they have earned. Rove’s effo

I believe that Hishammuddin’s views were his alone and not shared by the rest of his UMNO colleagues especially by his seniors who constantly made headlines in the online world.I do agree with Hishammuddin that local alternative news providers and bloggers should be more responsible in disseminating information to the wide public.

Saddam Hussein was prepared to take $1 billion and go into exile before the Iraq war, according to a transcript of talks between U.S. President George W. Bush and an ally, Spanish newspaper El Pais reported on Wednesday. During a meeting at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, on February 22, 2003, Bush told former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar that Saddam could also be assassinated, according to the transcript published in El Pais in Spanish. The Egyptians are speaking to Saddam Hussein. It seems he's indicated he would be prepared to go into exile if he's allowed to take $1 billion and all the information he wants about weapons of mass destruction," Bush was quoted as saying at the meeting one month before the U.S.-led invasion. Asked by Aznar whether Saddam could really leave, Bush replied: "Yes, that possibility exists. Or he might even be assassinated."Spokesperson Dana Perino was asked about the transcript published this week by the Spanish newspaper El Pais. It purports to

Wyatt was "willing" to pay oil surcharge, witness says|A former Iraqi oil company official, testifying in Oscar Wyatt's fraud and conspiracy trial, said he was in a meeting where the Houston oilman was haggling over how much of a surcharge he would pay to buy Iraqi crude. Wyatt, 83, is accused of funneling millions of dollars in illegal surcharges or kickbacks to Saddam Hussein's regime under the United Nations' oil-for-food program. Charged with fraud, conspiracy and violating U.S. sanctions, Wyatt could be sentenced to 74 years in prison if convicted on all counts. Wyatt contends all his dealings with the Iraqis were lawful. Mubdir Al-Khudhair, a former manager with Iraq's State Oil Marketing Organization, is the first witness since the trial started early this month whose testimony has tied Wyatt to surcharges. Al-Khudhair told the jury he was in a meeting in January 2001 where Wyatt was negotiating the purchase of some Iraqi crude and expressed "his willingness to pay the surc

Much was written about the Mechanical Dress and the LED-Dress from Hussein Cahalayan but you ever wondered how it was made? For my part, I wanted to know a little bit more about the background and looked underneath the two dresses. It turns out that a young smart guy from Germany, Moritz Waldemeyer is the technical wizard behind the fabulous creations from fashion oracle Hussein Cahalayan. Moritz moved to London to study business administration but discovered robotics during an internship at Bosch. He switched to mechatronics and landed a research and development job at Philips where he worked for 3 years. ‘We did some things that were considered pretty crazy at the time,’ he says. ‘Like a bra for female athletes embedded with sensors to monitor their heart rate.’ Not that crazy anymore but available by Numetrex for example. Waldemeyer says: ‘Mechatronics is simply a combination of mechanics and electronics’. ‘It’s a relatively new disciplin

Obama, the bully? Democratic Presidential Hopeful Barack Obama Takes Control of MySpace Page From Former Supporter  At the cost of losing 160,000 friends, Democrat Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has taken over control of the MySpace page listed under his name on the popular social networking site. The case raises questions about the campaigns’ desire to control their message versus the power of voter-generated material, especially for a candidate such as Obama who has sparked unsolicited excitement on the Web. For the past 2 1/2 years, the Obama MySpace page has been run by an Obama supporter from Los Angeles named Joe Anthony. At first, that arrangement was fine with the Obama team, which worked with Anthony on the content, promoted the link and even had the password to make changes. But as the site exploded in popularity in recent months, the campaign became concerned about an outsider controlling the content and responses going out under Obama’s name. It tol

Hussein Cahalayan did again surprise and excite the Wearable Electronic Fashion world again with his latest creation presented during the Milan Design Week last weekend. The last time, Hussein has surprised the Fashion world was during the summer/spring 2007 show last autumn in Paris with the mechanical dress. This time, Hussein presented a Video Dress that is even more exiting, showing a time lapse of a rose opening and closing up, in a spectacular display of colors and light, created from 15.000 LEDs that are embedded in the fabric. Though all those LEDs will need quite some power and might not be very practical, it is for sure a brilliant idea and concept that is very pleasant to look at. Hussein Cahalayan truly understands on how to use and combine electronic functionality and technology to create highly fashionable dresses. In the video below, you can see how the light effects work – gorgeous. Hussein Chalayan video dress - moritzwaldemeyer How long will it take to hav

What does Al-Qaida, Ho Chi Minh and Saddam Hussein have in common? They were once our allies. It seems our government leaders have managed to create a history of turning on former allies. From the beginning of it's history, theVietnam War was a conflict that could have been avoided if government leaders in Europe had acted responsibly. In fact, all wars are avoidable if leaders acted responsibly. It was precisely because of France's suppression of the rights of the Vietnamese people that eventually bought Ho Chi Minh to power. Believe it or not, all Ho Chi Minh really wanted to be was a chef. He became disillusioned over the hypocrisy he saw in Western governments and embraced communism while living abroad in France. Let's briefly review the history. Following World War I, on behalf of a group of Vietnamese patriots, Ho Chi Minh petitioned the European powers at the Versailles peace talks for equal rights in French Indochina, but he was ignored. He was rebuffed first by

As unbelievable as it seems, Saddam Hussein is alive. Our government attempted to cover the incident up, but somehow this amazing video surfaced earlier today. The coincidence is amazing, but could this have anything to do with the discovery of the tomb containing the remains of Jesus Christ which proves that he was never actually resurrected? Is it possible that Hussein was resurrected as some sort of sign? Be warned, the video is shocking. alive, resurrected, saddam husseinalive, resurrected, saddam hussein

Our article today is inspired from the recent massive coverage of Hussein Chalayan’s transformer dresses in many established fashion Magazines like Vogue, Elle, Style, I-D, to name a few. One of the features in their March 2007 editions is the coverage of the Spring 2007 trends: futuristic and an odyssey of metallic and science fiction fantasy. Hussein Chalayan has fascinated and captivated the audience in his Fashion Show last October in Paris. A lot of coverage has been given at that time to Hussein Chalayan’s transformer dresses but we decided at that time not to cover his show because we want talk2myShirt to focus on ‘already available’ products and DIY tips to make your own creations. You may say, we are more on the ‘practical’ side. The recent media attention made us coming back to Hussein Chalayan’s work because it shows again the strong coming of Wearable Electronic - our main focus in this blog. It is very interesting to see that fusi

Saddam Hussein, former President of Iraq and ally of the United States, died on December 30, 2006 around 6:00 a.m. local time near Baghdad, at the beginning of the Sunni observance of Second Eid. Saddam Hussein, former dictator of Iraq, torturer, rapist-by-proxy, murderer of children, user of weapons of mass destruction, was executed on December 30, 2006 by hanging, pursuant to the laws of the new Iraq. President Bush is reported to have said that justice has been done. Reactions, other than in Iraq, where people had and have a real stake in the life and death of this man, are fairly predictable: the end point tends to be predetermined by where the opiner begins. Thus Europeans, generally opposed to the death penalty, decried the execution as unjust, while the United States, a death-penalty nation, proclaimed it a day when justice prevailed. As always, what we see depends quite a bit on where we stand. But why should we in these United States care? The short answer is

This is a leaked video of the execution of former Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein last December 30 taken using a camera phone.The execution took place more than three years after his capture, on December 13, 2003. He was sentenced to death by the Iraq Special Tribunal, for crimes against humanity on November 5, 2006. His final appeal was dismissed on December 26, 2006, and the execution was carried out four days later at an Iraqi military base in Kadhimiya, known as Camp Justice.Up to the very last moment, Saddam Hussein remained unfazed and defiant, smiling and talking, reciting the Shahadah, amidst all the supposed taunts coming from the onlookers.The prison guard who allegedly took this video has been subsequently arrested. Since then, this clip has been aired on Al-Jazeera television and has circulated freely on the internet.Given the graphic nature of the content, viewer discretion is strongly advised.Note:Turn off the background audio first at the bottom of the page before clickin

Last night while we were ringing in the New Year with our new friends Josh Case and his wife Laura, Josh and I stepped aside to see if we could find news/video of the lastest on Saddam. Josh had told me that someone had a video in the room when Saddam was killed and he taped the whole thing. The mentioned tape had apparently made it to Youtube, so after the night had picked up and the ladies were cooking we sat down to find the video. I don’t know why, probably curiosity mixed with the idea that it was hard to believe the events of the past week. The Godfather of Soul, A former President, and now a famous Dictator all died in a weeks time. This, on top of the fact that Josh and Laura had just arrived here after attending a funeral of a close person in Josh’s life. All of this piled up and I guess we were just thinking about death. So we watched Saddam’s life end. When I was in 4th grade I remember rumors about Saddam, the rumor that I remember most was that his hea

This video may not be safe for work. I'm posting this because this moment is a very important one in world history, and only time will tell if this was really the will of the Iraqi people or more Washingtonian politricks. I don't want to embed this video on this blog but you can see pretty much the full hanging here, recorded on someone's cell phone. There's a lot of noise and the graphics

This execution was "shadier than a forest", as my chum Mark Armstrong is fond of saying. Now the Asian Tribune reports: The decision to send Hussein to the gallows was not a judicial but a political one. It was signaled by al-Maliki himself after the death sentence was pronounced by a special tribunal on November 5, when the Iraqi prime minister declared that Hussein would be executed before

As if shit over there wasn't already hotter than hell. Is this justice? Is this what we are bringing to Iraq? You can see some of the pre-execution in the clip below, which shows the noose being put around his neck. I have yet to find video of the actual deed. All I know is I wouldn't mind seeing George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney face the same fate. Fuck 'em. Filed Under: saddam

It seems like only yesterday that Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, was found hiding in a hole in the ground and put on trial for mass murder. Today, following his conviction, he was executed…and will shortly end up back in a hole in the ground…where he belongs.
