Obama Suddenly Remembers: He Almost Joined the Military

He’s never mentioned it before, not even in two autobiographies, but Barack Obama has suddenly remembered that he considered joining the military.

Obama disclosed that he had once considered serving in the military.

“You know, I actually did,” Obama said. “I had to sign up for Selective Service when I graduated from high school. And I was growing up in Hawaii. And I have friends whose parents were in the military. There are a lot of Army, military bases there.

“And I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option. But keep in mind that I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren’t engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it’s not an option that I ever decided to pursue.”

UPDATE at 9/7/08 9:12:26 am:

Just one problem with Obama’s little story.

Registration for selective service was not reinstated until 1980.

On March 25, 1975, Pres. Gerald Ford signed Proclamation 4360, Terminating Registration Procedures Under Military Selective Service Act, eliminating the registration requirement for all 18-25 year old male citizens. Then on July 2, 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed Proclamation 4771, Registration Under the Military Selective Service Act, retroactively re-establishing the Selective Service registration requirement for all 18-26 year old male citizens born on or after January 1, 1960. Only men born between March 29, 1957, and December 31, 1959, were completely exempt from Selective Service registration. The first registrations after Proclamation 4771 took place on Monday, July 21, 1980, for those men born in January, February and March 1960 at U.S. Post Offices.

White Muslim convert arrested over ‘Gordon Brown assassination plot’

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2626446/White-Muslim-convert-arrested-over-Gordon-Brown-assassination-plot.html
 
 
The 25-year-old man was arrested at a flat in the Whalley Range area of Blackburn, Lancs, shortly before 7am on Tuesday.
He is believed to be a friend of two other men arrested by counter-terrorism officers at Manchester Airport on August 14.
The pair, who had been about to board a flight to Finland, live less than 100 yards from the home of the suspect held on Tuesday.
A fourth suspect, also from Blackburn, was arrested in Church, near Accrington, shortly after the arrests at Manchester Airport.
All four men are being questioned about a posting on an Arabic website that often carries messages from senior members of al-Qaeda.
The message, written in English, allegedly included a threat to target “all the political leaders, especially Tony Blair and Gordan (sic) Brown”.
It appeared only briefly on January 24 and purported to have been written by Shaykh Umar Rabie al-Khalaila, who described himself as “the leader of al-Qaeda in Britain”.
The latest man to be arrested changed his name when he converted to Islam four years ago.

LGF, PJ Media, Zombie Team Up for Convention Coverage and LGF2 will post it here too

e have something special planned for the Democratic Convention this coming week!

Little Green Footballs and Pajamas Media are joining forces to send the undead creature known only as Zombie to the Convention, for the kind of exclusive, slightly bent coverage only an undead creature can provide.

We have a full schedule of newsworthy stuff laid out, but you’ll just have to keep checking LGF because the Recreate 68 moonbats may act up and change our plans. We’ll be staying in touch with Agent Z minute by minute during the circus, through the magic of the innernut.

Zombie’s reports will begin tomorrow, the opening day of the Convention. The reports will appear simultaneously at LGF and PJ Media; here at LGF they’ll show up as front page articles just like the ones I post.

We’re looking forward to this week; there’s no way to tell when or how often Zombie’s reports will show up, so stay tuned to LGF and PJ for the latest.

LGF2 will post these stories as well. This is to bypass the Cult of Charles.

IPhone Software Update

Last week we had a post about the problems some users are experiencing with their shiny iPhone 3Gs. Apple has released a software update, which I’m now installing. (Just sync up your iPhone with iTunes and choose “Check for updates.”) No details from Apple yet on what this is supposed to fix or add, but it’s a 248.7 megabyte file.

UPDATE at 8/20/08 12:13:40 pm:

It’s performing a firmware update, which (fingers crossed) could be a fix for the 3G connectivity issues.

UPDATE at 8/20/08 1:44:26 pm:

No difference in connectivity as far as I can tell.

Charles continues to try to link Corsi to neo nazis

Corsi is not a neo-nazi. Charles is continuing his attempt to paint him as such. 

Jerome Corsi canceled his most recent appearance on the neo-Nazi radio show Political Cesspool (after appearing twice before), and the knuckle-draggers are seething.
