Imagine my surprise…
‘Splodeydopes. Sudden Jihadi Syndrome.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was likely steered into the sea intentionally, by its own captain, in a pre-planned mass murder-suicide, a new report reveals.
In an exclusive story posted online Friday, New York magazine says that the plane’s captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, “conducted a simulated flight deep into the remote southern Indian ocean less than a month before the plane vanished under uncannily similar circumstances.”
The story cites as its source a confidential document from the Malaysian police investigation.
It took the FBI to discover the grim news of the captain’s apparent suicide test runs, the magazine said.
Okay, that’s an old one, and I was like many others, really expected to find a follower of the pedophile prophet behind that one.
This one doesn’t surprise me either: Eight (or nine – depends on which report you read) dead in Munich, witnesses report the killer screaming Broiling beats frying Aloha Snackbar (or something like that).
The mainstream media and politicians BOTH are scrambling to find reasons it’s NOT about Islam, but…

Eclectic, that’s me.
Haven’t given a nod to our Celtic friends in a while, so here are The Chieftains doing O’Sullivan’s March:
Today in History – July 23
1632 – Three hundred colonists bound for New France depart from Dieppe, France. That, folks, would be some of my ancestors. Don’t call me ‘French’. I’m Cajun. My ancestors have been here longer than many of you other folks’ ancestors.
1903 – The Ford Motor Company sells its first car.
1929 – The Fascist government in Italy bans the use of foreign words. We’re awfully close to banning certain words and phrases here.
1962 – Telstar relays the first publicly transmitted, live trans-Atlantic television program, featuring Walter Cronkite.
1967 – 12th Street Riot: in Detroit, Michigan, one of the worst riots in United States history begins on 12th Street in the predominantly African American inner city. It will leave 43 killed, 342 injured and 1,400 buildings burned. That was just a riot. A few decades of dimmocrat government has the place looking like the aftermath of a nuke today. And it’s bankrupt.
1983 – Gimli Glider: Air Canada Flight 143 runs out of fuel and makes a deadstick landing at Gimli, Manitoba. A series of errors, including confusion over pounds to kilograms conversion, result in the near disaster.
1984 – Vanessa Williams becomes the first Miss America to resign when she surrenders her crown after nude photos of her appeared in Penthouse magazine. Ah, yes… The famous ‘duck call’ issue.
