In June, the "Gebirgsjaeger" Division of the German Army received 10 young mules for military training in the most demanding alpine  environments. 

The mules from Spain and France are a crossing from a donkey and a female horse. With their unique abilities, they provide unsurpassed benefits over motorized equipment not only for the German army's mountain infantry fighting in Balkan, Afghanistan etc., but the military enemy and mountain farmers around the world.

Mules can carry up to 180kg load in elevations exceeding 6.000m - noiseless on steep, narrow, slippery mountain paths, in all wheathers, requiring no fuel, oil or maintainance other than pellet food or grass around  - and a trustworthy "gebirgsjaeger" trained on leading mules. Today, the "Operation & Training Unit 230" at Bad Reichenhall of Bavaria is the only remaining German military unit specialized on training horses for demanding military tasks - anytime, anywhere .

An article in todays British "Daily Mail online", describes a Spanish report, that "cycling over 300km/week increases the risk of male infertility".

The first international comparison of cognitive function shows US seniors perform better than English counterparts

Researchers from the Peninsula Medical School, the University of Cambridge and the University of Michigan have carried out the first international comparison of cognitive function in nationally representative samples of older adults in the US and England and discovered that US seniors performed significantly better that their English counterparts.

The finding is surprising because older people in the US are known to suffer more from cardiovascular risk factors and diseases, which are generally associated with more cognitive decline and poorer mental function.

But Polls Say People Want Government Health Care...

The Leftmedia were in overdrive this week backing up their man Barack Obama on the issue of government health care. Before ABC even had the chance to broadcast a prime-time infomercial from the White House, The New York Times released a poll purporting to show that "Americans overwhelmingly support" health care changes, including that "most Americans would be willing to pay higher taxes so everyone could have health insurance and that they said the government could do a better job of holding down health-care costs than the private sector." Try not to spew coffee on your keyboard. In the end, "72 percent of those questioned supported a government-administered insurance plan."

Iranian anti-regime activists are hoping for an Israeli technological hand to help them fight the Islamic Republic. As of now, hundreds of protesters have been killed by the regime, which is evidently using Arabic-speaking armed thugs from Hizbullah to help perpetrate the violence.

"Dear Israeli Brothers and Sisters," writes Iranian dissident Arash Irandoost, "Iran needs your help more than ever now. And we will be eternally grateful. Please help opposition television and radio stations which are blocked and being jammed by the Islamic Republic (Nokia and Siemens) resume broadcast to Iran. There is a total media blackout and Iranians inside Iran for the most part are not aware of their brave brothers and sisters fighting and losing their lives daily. And the unjust treatment and brutal massacre of the brave Iranians in the hands of the mullah's paid terrorist Hamas and Hizbullah gangs are not seen by the majority of the Iranians. Please help in any way you can to allow these stations resume broadcasting to Iran.

Secondarily, who is more perverted: Michael Jackson or Liddlefella (aka Pedafella)?

MEMRI: Special Dispatch | No. 2420 | June 25, 2009

A recent thread on the Al-Falluja jihadist forum discussed the case of whether a Muslim who has nothing else to eat may kill an infidel in order to eat him. The discussion was prompted by a recently published book by Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi, one of the most influential jihadist sheikhs active today.  The following is a summary of the discussion thread.

the jewish community of luebeck (schleswig-holstein, northern germany) has excluded member rolf verleger from the jewish central council of germany for his ongoing criticism of "israels policy of war, occupation and violence".

acc an "evangelic press service (epd)" report printed in a daily newspaper of state capital kiel, the order to expel israel critic mr verleger ("publisher") came "from above" . it was meant for

"his ongoing criticism of israels war and occupation policy, israel critical viewpoints within the top body "jewish council of germany" - albeit friendly warnings by JCC secr charlotte knobloch ("garlic").

mr verleger, a prof of neurophysiology at the university hospital of luebeck, named israels occupation of lebanon "a policy of violence". his book "israels way of error" criticizes israels attack on gaza. he estimates, that his speech before the "muslim youth germany" overflowed the barrel.

OBAMA TO IRAN: LET THEM EAT ICE CREAM
June 24, 2009

On Iran, President Obama is worse than Hamlet. He's Colin Powell, waiting to see who wins before picking a side.

Last week, massive protests roiled Iran in response to an apparently fraudulent presidential election, in which nutcase Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner within two hours of the polls closing. (ACORN must be involved.)

Obama responded by boldly declaring that the difference between the loon Ahmadinejad and his reformist challenger, Mir Hossein Mousavi, "may not be as great as advertised."

Maybe the thousands of dissenters risking their lives protesting on the streets of Tehran are doing so because they liked Mousavi's answer to the "boxers or briefs" question better than Ahmadinejad's.

My father, Rush H. Limbaugh, Jr., delivered this oft-requested address locally a number of times, but it had never before appeared in print until it appeared in The Limbaugh Letter. My dad was renowned for his oratory skills and for his original mind; this speech is, I think, a superb demonstration of both. I will always be grateful to him for instilling in me a passion for the ideas and lives of America's Founders, as well as a deep appreciation for the inspirational power of words which you will see evidenced here:

Sarkozy: Burqa not welcome in France

. ," by Helene Fouquet for Bloomberg, June 22:

В начале июня по личному распоряжению президента США Барака Обамы специальный представитель США в Афганистане и Пакистане Ричард Холбрук посетил Пакистан с целью "выразить американскую обеспокоенность и поддержку в связи с гуманитарным кризисом на западе Пакистана и предложить дополнительную помощь". Г-н Холбрук сообщил, что в рамках такой поддержки Конгресс США рассматривает вопрос об ассигновании дополнительно 200 млн. долларов на оказание гуманитарной помощи. Таким образом, общая сумма гуманитарной помощи США Пакистану составит от 310 до 330 млн. долларов.
