Okay. So a British submarine commander apparently yelled at his subordinates so badly that some of them burst into tears.

I am unsuccessfully trying to wrap my mind around a submariner bursting into tears after being yelled at by his C.O.

They sure don’t make sailors like they used to. Mr. Christian never cried.

And then there’s this little bit of cognitive dissonance: The BBC’s Thought for the Day, which has been “a religious reflection on topical events” for 36 years, may be opened to secular contributors. A secular opinion on topical events. Gee, we don’t see that very often. Bold move, BBC!

Instructions on how to salt the hide of your sacrifice for the Eid.

Strangely, I couldn’t find a PETA announcement about the slaughter of all those sheep during Eid. Funny, they’re still going after kosher butchers. You don’t think it’s–prejudice–do you?

    The BBC’s Thought for the Day,

    Seems American’s are going to get more; their spin and deception as well:
    ABC to Distribute BBC News Reports

    The British Broadcasting Corp. will make about 40 video news clips available daily in the United States and Canada for Internet and cell phone subscribers through a deal with ABC News.

    BBC News producers will choose segments on top world and U.K. news, …

    Happy happy, joy joy ….

    There was this post some time back which points to PETA’s flaky stand:

    Bomb-sniffing pigs to protect settlements (Peta Alert, Pig Martyrs)

    Which Mr. Christian? The Brando or the Gable?

    Maybe the commander needed a Tic-Tac.

    Bad Breath sure would bring tears to MY eyes. :)

    Hat Tip: The movie “Shrek”.

    Of course it is not religious prejudice. PETA just does not believe in allowing themselves to be killed for their “priciples”.
