HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So funny Kevin.

Who says there is no god.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Oh, Joy!

Oh, Rapture!

Oh, Glee!

And what Gandalf said...

Air Greenland finally solves the wingnut pundit problem!

Yeah, but they're exacerbating the melting of the ice sheet. The last thing Greenland needs is more hot air.

Taking pleasure at the misfortune of others is so bad, it really is.

That is why I consider this to be karma and not schadenfreude.

Not a bad idea, but I can think of a hot, desolate place that might suit them better.

Step 2. Denmark clamps down on them for overstaying their visa.

Snide comment: shouldn't the free market have fixed this?

That's awesome.

Perhaps Iraq Airlines can send a plane to pick them up, but with a detour through Baghdad.

Who says labor problems and subsequent work stoppages are never a good thing?

Ick! that's the second time in five minutes that I've gone to The Corner.

I'm gonna have to wash my hands in bleach now.

Thanks, Kev.

There IS a God !

sweeet justice indeed

"I believe there is a force to the universe, I just don't commit to any particular man behind the curtain" - Oliver Willis

I think it is the Maldive Islands that strand perpetrators of crimes like murder on uninhabited islands. If all of the political and military leaders who have supported the US occupation of Iraq should be exiled to one of the Greenland islands for the rest of their lives, that would be some small cold justice.

But perhaps their exile should be served somewhere very hot. The poor people of Iraq have had to endure very hot summers since the US invasion. Some place suitably just as hot might be more appropriate for the American political and military leadership to live out their exile. Abu Ghraib's latrine seems a good place for W. Bush to spend the rest of his life.

We should invade their homes and offices, spend all their money, and convert them all to sanity.

my preference is to airdrop them all on one of the ever-shrinking icebergs....

Free market theory says that he simply should have sent a signal conveying his willingness to pay a higher price and an airplane would have appeared instantaneously to "clear" the market. Either that, or a pony.

This is a case of (a.) market failure;(b.)a disguised call for state socialism; or (c.) cheap sour grapes.

Another argument for unions.

...And I bet THAT mensroom is busy with "wide stance" Neocons...

So what I am wondering is...do you think Air Greenland KNEW who it was stranding??? Do you think that is why they went on strike?

Erik the Red State.

"my preference is to airdrop them all on one of the ever-shrinking icebergs...."

....and hope that the polar bears are hungry.

Barbra Bush says that they will have it made and be much happier there!I feel sorry for the natives because There Goes The Neighborhood.

I tremble for my country......

Think of the children!

Michael Rubin's email is mrubin@aei.org for anyone wanting to commiserate with him, but I have to warn you, for some reason, he always resented communication from me. Why? What did I do wrong? Did I mock him for his rosy scenarios , could that have been it?
The American Enterprise Institute must be one meshugana place. Apparently, all it takes to become a scholar that are a few words of Yiddish, a bookmark of the AIPAC website and to be on the MEMRI email list. [That's not to say that everyone there is an idiot. Norm Ornstein wrote a good book, "The Broken Branch"]

Erik the Red State.-snort-

First - was it a liberal plot?

Second, if it was, how do we capitalize on the early success? If we all promised the government of Greenland, say $5.00 a month, how long would they keep them there?

Erik the Red State.

I would make a remark about certain body parts turning blue in a red state, but I might already be in trouble over some mis-located cats.

There is only one internet accessible computer at the hotel and a long line

I wondered why it suddenly seemed so sane today.

I have written Air Greenland an email thanking them for their great service in behalf of America, and offering them $5.00 a month to keep them there.

If they accept the agreement and tell me how many more people they need to pay them off at that rate, I'll see about arranging a payoff.

Such a joyful tale.

Sorry, Kevin. Stranding all the wingnuts in Greenland does seem like a good idea at first. However, if we put them all up there, they'll expel so much hot air that it will cause the Arctic icecaps to melt even faster, bringing global warming catastrophe on us all.

they should all get down on their podgy, well-worn knees and thank the gods for global warming and beg forgiveness for ever doubting it

Just now, Mike's telling the Greenland leadership (I know, I know, it's a Danish colony) that if they would take a crappy little country like Iceland, and threw them up against the wall, they could reclaim past glory.

Taking pleasure at the misfortune of others is so bad, it really is.

Point understood Tripp, however, being stranded for a couple of days with only 1 computer available is hardly misfortune.

Its a minor inconvenience, that I certainly do take joy in watching him whine about it.

Ah, I'll step out on a ledge and go for calling this both Karma AND schadenfreude. Because I was enjoying it just a little too much.

Where is the Abominable Snowman when we need him.

And another BIGGER problem.

Commentary: The next war?

UPI Editor at Large
BERN, Switzerland, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- After a brief interruption of his New Hampshire vacation to meet President Bush in the family compound at Kennebunkport, Maine, French President Nicolas Sarkozy came away convinced his U.S. counterpart is serious about bombing Iran's secret nuclear facilities. That's the reading as it filtered back to Europe's foreign ministries:

We get this "It's bad for the country to invoke impeachment procedures" but is it really going to be bad if, indeed Bush, following Dick Cheney's orders - does anything to incite another Mideast country in a war that is already out of control.

This war is about oil, AND it has NEVER been about anything else. It's "our vital national interest" that Hillary Clinton talks about all the time and she says we have to draw out the withdrawal LONGER that WHAT- I like to know.

Iran is trying to lead Iraq away from Western oil contractors - Iran has already stated that they do not feel the need to do business with Western oil contractors - Saddam said the exact same thing - and Cheney has a big problem with that, BIG enought to incite a war with Iran.

It was never Rumsfeld you have to worry about - it was always Dick Cheney.

I hope they get them out of there pronto - we need all the friends we can get at the moment, and I'm willing to bet these assclowns can do more damage to our relations with the fine people of Greenland by exposing the natives to a couple days of these idiots bitching about being stuck there than if we invaded them.
SEND THEM ALL TO A COLD AND DESOLATE PLACE AND THEN STRAND THEM
I thought this was the conservatives definition of marriage

I saw this on the law blog from the University of Pittsburgh (jurist.law.pitt.edu)

JURIST Guest Columnist Jordan Paust of the University of Houston Law Center says that notwithstanding his resignation, US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales might still be subject to federal civil suits in connection with his involvement in the denial of Geneva Conventions rights and protections to US prisoners and the authorization of secret and “coercive interrogation� of detainees...
Nearly-“former� Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is reasonably accused of abetting war crimes with respect to law of war violations concerning the status, secret detention, rights, and treatment of detained persons [see, e.g., 2007 Utah Law Review 345, 347, 358 (2007)]. Is he subject to civil suit for such alleged violations of international law? With respect to foreign plaintiffs who were harmed as a result of his abetments – especially during his chairing of inner circle meetings where decisions were made as part of a common plan to deny Geneva law rights and protections and to authorize secret and “coercive interrogation� of detainees that might include anything short of “torture� – civil suits can be brought in a federal district court under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA or ATS), 28 U.S.C. § 1350, for a “tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States.� As several federal cases (including Justice Breyer’s important concurring opinion in Sosa [542 U.S. 692, 762 (2004)] affirm, war crimes and crimes against humanity are well within the ambit of the ATCA.

there doesn't seem to be enough hotel rooms in town for everyone.

So they need a contest to see who gets a bed. I recommend:

• Drink a 5th of whiskey
• Romance an Inuit woman
• Wrestle a polar bear

Or is it "wrestle an Inuit woman". I hope they drink enough to get mixed up.

I am always amused when LudLibs, champions of homosexuals, are so quick to use queer jokes as a putdown.

I'd wish them onto Tower Air (do they still fly?) or some such airline but I have to think there's probably a law against these kind of wishes.

Folks: save money on the haircuts, the toothpaste. Get the best deal possible on a safe, reliable car.

But please don't don't fly on an un-brand-name airline.

On second thought don't try to save money on the toothpaste.

(Plus: Tom's has a delicious fresh, minty taste and feels velvety good even on bad teeth.)

What the hell are right-wing yahoos doing up there in Greenland -- awaiting The Rapture?

Back in WWII, we put out bounties for the German infiltrators in Greenland, and the Eskimos collected - frequently.

Walter E. Wallis "I am always amused when LudLibs, champions of homosexuals, are so quick to use queer jokes as a putdown."

I apologize. We "LudLibs" are just trying to bring the right-wing to its knees. Nevertheless, it must have been an unpleasant surprise for you to find out that a lot of your neocon buddies are already there.

mhr "And you lefties can go to Cuba, a great place where health care is free! The educational system is big on reading, Marx and Engels and Lenin and the speeches of Fidel Castro. A liberal heaven!"

Hey, kids! Let's go to Cuba and read some Marx and Engels!

And after that, we can come back to plot the violent overthrow of everything Americans hold dear, and then impose the Gay Agenda upon their God-fearing souls -- just as soon as I remember where I put my copy.

mhr: "**"

And so it goes.

Are you sure they didn't accidentally fly "Air GreenWALD"?

Donald, I went through a Marxist phase - but it involved an aging letch, cigars, and a falling duck.

What the hell are right-wing yahoos doing up there in Greenland

Looking for evidence that global warming is not occurring? May they all freeze . . .

Or maybe the natives up there weren't getting enough sneering condescension, and sent out for some.

Michael Rubin should have known better than to trust his travel plans to the Danes. They are as incompetent as the French, and just as big surrender monkeys. What have they ever given the world besides Leggo?

How many wars have you fought, Al?

Blue Girl, what the duck are you talking about?

I protest! In the name of global warming, those without a smurf to kick around, and lima beans(they really get a bad rap). That is all.

I see Kenji does not know the magic word.

Here's a hint: Think 1950s television and lines like "Lady, I love my cigar but I take it out of my mouth once in a while...."

Jim, are you just an old Groucho (fan)?

On top of everything else, the Danes stole Link Wray!

mhr: "**"

And so it goes.

Like an Ellen Jamesian from Garp?

What have they ever given the world besides Leggo?

Secondly, IIRC, the Danes gave the world a good example during WWII about how to NOT cooperate with Fascists, when the Nazis demanded that Jews and other targeted groups be reported and turned in.

What have the Inuits done to deserve this.

Perhaps they are there for more zombie shoots of "The Hills have Eyes" filmed in Greenland, by FOX Searchlight.

Oh, and Walter E Wallis, old chap - Be careful in your comments, or I will print your remarks from another site about the Rogers report from October '06 about Craig - It is available through google, and, Walter, you did say some pretty bizarre things - How is that Circle group going, by the way? And "butology"? Learned that in the 23rd Regimental Combat Team, did you now?

At least Blue Girl understood - Margaret Dumont never did - Good ole Groucho, brought Ms Dumont on his TV show for one last hurrah, just before she passed on.

And Al - Knocking the Danes? Their government has been one of Shrubs biggest backers in the Coalition of the Very Few and Fewer. Oh, forgot that penguin detachment from Tierra del Fuego.

I am not old!!!

;-) Jim

There's a bunch of European Communists stuck up there too.
