Twelve suspected Lutheran extremists arrested in England:

LONDON — Police on Monday arrested 12 men on suspicion of plotting an act of terrorism, swooping in major pre-dawn raids across the country.
The dozen, aged between 17 and 28, were detained “on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism in the UK,” police said in a statement. . . .
The BBC cited sources saying the operation was related to an investigation into Al-Qaeda-inspired terrorism.
Four of the men were from Cardiff, four from Stoke-on-Trent, and three from London . . .

The Lutheran Menace™ is everywhere!

Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit wrongly suspects Amish and Shriners in this plot, which clearly has all the hallmarks of radical Lutheranism.

UPDATE: Ed Sven Morrissey at Hot Air says nothing about the Lutheran nature of this terror threat. Are they part of the conspiracy?

Your Official Julian Assange Moonbat Kook Conspiracy Theory Guide

Posted on | December 19, 2010 | 7 Comments

After the Supreme Court stole the election from Al Gore and the Mossad staged the so-called “terrorist attack” — Fire Can’t Melt Steel! — Halliburton orchestrated the invasion of Iraq and Dick Cheney ordered Richard Armitage to “out” courageous truth-teller Valerie Plame.

Everybody knows this, except those fools who have been misled by the Right-Wing Noise Machine.

Meanwhile, two Swedish CIA operatives entrapped Julian Assange in a bogus “rape” charge and Karl Rove bribed the Swedish prime minister to have Assange arrested.

Everybody knows this, except those dupes who have been hoodwinked by Faux News.

Rule 5 Sunday – Did Somebody Say Cheesecake?

Posted on | December 19, 2010 | 16 Comments

Let’s warm up with some choice links from Yankee Phil, who proffers some Yahoo! girls and a rather nice agglomeration of Rule 5 linkagery.

Left Coast Rebel goes back into the pages of history to bring us Pamela Anderson’s Playboy cover and the Anita Ekberg shot it was modeled on. He also thoughtfully provides some illustration for the NOW v. Hooters kerfluffle.

Soylent Green seems to be rather excited about the new Tron movie, and is not shy about sharing the reasons why. Not content with that, he demonstrates that the cuties of Tron look even better without the special effects, although sadly, not all of them are becorseted. Finally, a very important PSA!

Proof Positive also takes note of the Hooters controversy, before moving on to Carmen Electra and a look back at a true classic, Raquel Welch.

Fishersville Mike, in the spirit of the season, offers us a gift suggestion in the form of a video.

Troglopundit, overcome with the defeat of his beloved Pack by the miserable, mangy Lions, nonetheless manages to think of the needs of Katy Perry and single girls everywhere.

Boom3 takes us back to the days of Harry Truman, Lauren Bacall, and a fresh young face not yet known as Mrs. Joe DiMaggio.

Mind Numbed Robot, despite his busy week at his lab & experimental brothel, manages to alert us to Brooke Burke. Much obliged, O Man of Metal!

Finally, at Dustbury, Mr. Hill draws our attention to “some f*ing model”, in addition to Lesley Stahl, whose body has aged well (if not her mind) and Angie Harmon.

Thanks to all for their links! For next week’s Boxing Day Rule 5 linkagery, send your links to the Rule 5 Wombat mailbox!

Julian Assange, Victim?

Posted on | December 19, 2010 | 15 Comments

The World’s Smallest Violin, playing “My Heart Bleeds for You”:

LAWYERS for Julian Assange have expressed anger about an alleged smear campaign against the Australian WikiLeaks founder.
Incriminating police files were published in the British newspaper that has used him as its source for hundreds of leaked US embassy cables.
In a move that surprised many of Mr Assange’s closest supporters on Saturday, The Guardian newspaper published previously unseen police documents that accused Mr Assange in graphic detail of sexually assaulting two Swedish women. One witness is said to have stated: “Not only had it been the world’s worst screw, it had also been violent.”
Bjorn Hurtig, Mr Assange’s Swedish lawyer, said he would lodge a formal complaint to the authorities and ask them to investigate how such sensitive police material leaked into the public domain. “It is with great concern that I hear about this because it puts Julian and his defence in a bad position,” he told a colleague.

(Wait — did you catch that? Leak documents that make the world’s most famous document-leaker look bad, and his lawyers demand an investigation!)

“I do not like the idea that Julian may be forced into a trial in the media. And I feel especially concerned that he will be presented with the evidence in his own language for the first time when reading the newspaper. I do not know who has given these documents to the media, but the purpose can only be one thing – trying to make Julian look bad.” . . .
Another supporter close to the WikiLeaks founder said the leak appeared designed by the authorities in Sweden to jeopardise Mr Assange’s defence. “There has been a selective smear through the disclosure of material. That material, in Swedish, was passed to a journalist at The Guardian,” a source said. “The timing appears to have been cynically calculated to have the material published in the middle of the bail application and the appeal.”

Irony? What irony?

(Via Memeorandum.)

UPDATE: Speaking of crazy, Amanda Marcotte:

RS McCain made it clear that he supports rapists as a vigilante force punishing women who are sexually liberated with men that aren’t RS McCain.

Sigh. I am extremely dubious of the concept of “sexual liberation.” From what, pray tell, are you being “liberated”?

“Sexual liberation” is one of those moldy leftovers from the 1960s — like “peace” — that some people seem incapable of examining with anything like the skepticism such glittering generalities deserve.

Cui bono? Who benefits from a regime of “sexual liberation,” and who suffers as a result? Given that some 40% of all babies in the U.S. are now born out of wedlock, and that unwed motherhood is closely correlated with child poverty, educational failure, etc., does Amanda Marcotte suppose that such consequences of “sexual liberation” represent some kind of Progress?

As for my alleged endorsement of rape as a “vigilante” measure, this is like saying I’m in favor of third-degree burns if I warn children not to play with fire.
