Bombers in the Non-News


Today there is a report about Samantha Lewthwaite, the White Widow, a British woman who converted to Islam and was married to a suicide bomber who died in the attacks on trains in London some years ago.  The news channels report they don't know if in the attack at the Westgate Mall in Kenya whether she was killed, escaped, or was not involved at all.

What the fuck kind of news is that.  Here's someone who is such a miserable excuse for a woman that her husband didn't mind killing himself for the cause, abandoning her and their two children, but nothing else is known about her.  So now she is, might have been, or wasn't involved at all in this terrorist attack at Westgate.

Wow.  Nothing gets past the news channels, does it.

It's not just the BBC broadcasting this as other televised news channels are doing it too and there are huge headlines in newspapers that talk of a world-wide manhunt for Lewthwaite.  Who knows what they will do if they actually determine she had anything to do with the attack.


In other news this morning:

Global Warming

The average temperature around the world is going up, down, or maybe staying the same.

John Kerry

Today he will bomb Syria, will not bomb Syria or will find some other way to posture at being a President.

Weather

Today it will be rainy, sunny, or kind of mixed, except for Scotland where it will rain ... maybe.



Dave Goodman does a show on the Dave Channel in which he ridicules the news.  Given material like that regarding Lewthwaite, he's never going to run out of material.  (The Dave Channel didn't get its name from Goodman.)
