Two terrorists make grave threats

Everyone has heard that pudgy little Adam Perlman has threatened the president of the United States in his latest video message from his mom’s basement (ABC News link);

American Al Qaeda leader Adam Gadahn told his followers to welcome Bush “with bombs and traps” upon his upcoming visit to the Middle East this week.

“The occupied territories are awaiting their first visit by the crusader Bush and the mujahideen are also waiting for him,” said Gadahn, a California native and now an Al Qaeda spokesman.

Gadahn is the star of the latest al Qaeda propaganda video to be posted online by the group’s media wing, As Sahab.

Jammie Wearing Fool comments that it sounds like Harry Reid wrote this latest screed from the terrorist with a Jewish-sounding name.

But much more frightening, is the story that George Clooney may boycott the Oscars (Times Online link);

THE Hollywood star George Clooney is being credited with inspiring an actors’ boycott against film award ceremonies that threatens to reduce next weekend’s Golden Globe Awards to a shambles and is jeopardising the most important event in the Hollywood calendar, next month’s Oscars.

This weekend the Screen Actors Guild announced that the 70 actors shortlisted for awards at the Globes will not be attending the ceremony in sympathy with scriptwriters who have been on strike for two months.

Officially, television network NBC, which splits millions of advertising dollars with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, organiser of the Globes, says the show will go on. Both bodies said on Friday they were in “an extremely difficult position” and would try to woo the actors back.

Behind the scenes NBC is split between those who are in despair seeking to salvage the festival and those raging at the “disloyalty” of actors.

Neither of these individuals are aware of the realities of their threats. The best thing that could happen to the war against terror is if the President were attacked. The best thing that could happen to the movie industry is for those millionaires to boycott their own pat-on-the-back ceremony.

Both will probably make Taranto’s “Bottom Stories” list.
