Proportional response has become a new favorite quip in the lexicon of international citizens. Ok. Let us look at the math. x is proportional to y, if it follows this form:
x = a * y
Where 'a' is a non-zero constant.
The situation we are actually observing now, from our international detractors is what is known as inverse proportionality.
x = a / y
The MSM are openly advocating the belief that if 'y' is terrorism and 'x' is the response to that terrorism, as 'y' gets bigger, 'x' should diminish, since the 'x' breeds more terrorism.
I would agree with the assertion that the international response to terrorism has not been proportional. Inverse proportionality is not a proportional response.
So what can we do to guarantee proportionality?
The minimum possible value of 'a', which affords a future for Israel is
a value equal to one.
x = y
So for every act of terrorism a carefully balanced and measured response is delivered. Of course, this minimum condition, leads to several decades of zero progress. Obviously this is a condition we are familiar with.
What I would like to see is an 'a' value equal to 100.
x = 100 * y
For every act of terrorism 'y' we see a response 100 times more potent. This is a value, designed to achieve victory.
And the beauty of it is, when you look at the math, it is a proportional response.

Jules Winnfield
(h.t. Drudge) Samuel Jackson to voice 'God' in new audio version of the Bible.
Hmmm.
.
'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyrannies of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepards the weak through the valley of darkness. For he is truly his brothers' keeper and finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.' Now I've been saying that s*** for years, and if you've ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never gave much thought to what it meant, I just thought it was a cold blooded thing to say to a mother f***er before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some s*** this morning that made me think twice. Now I'm thinking it could mean you're the evil man, and I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here is the shepherd, protecting my righteous ass. Or maybe it means that you're the righteous man, and I'm the shepherd, and it's the world that's evil and selfish. Now I'd like that, but you see that s*** ain't the truth. The truth is, YOU'RE the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.
- Character Jules Winnfield (Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction)

Tragedy on the Grassa Strip
Some metaphors are so timely, it makes me wonder if there is a higher being.
I was evacuating some lawn furniture from the wilderness that is my yard. Suddenly, I was attacked by a suicide bomber. This angry violent insect could not be reasoned with. Needless, to say, it died in the name of its queen, but only after leaving a sting which I will not soon forget.
Shaken, but determined, I scouted the region. Ah, yes. There is the nest of the violent jihadis. They are out in the open now, fomenting unrest amongst their peers.
Night soon falls. My vast intelligence services inform me that all of the leaders are back in the hideout, preparing for the next day. They pray, Queen willing, the next day will bring another gloriously painful round of suicide attacks on yours truly.
Heeding the advice of my covert operatives in the field, I decide that now is the time to prepare a precision air strike. I select a weapon known for its effectiveness.
********* WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! ***************
Parents should be cautioned, that the following images are of a violent, graphic nature. Don't blame Insolublog, if your children don't get any sleep tonight.
Under the cover of darkness, a devastating stream of hell fire is visited upon the nest of terrorists.
The site of the strike is littered with the writhing bodies of dying terrorists. Many are still struggling out of the nest. I am also sorry to say there was some collateral damage. I saw some black sugar ants and maybe a grasshopper or two, who were caught in the strike.
War is hell. When you are dealing with mindless brutes, who submit to a single cause, sometimes you have no choice.

The Race
You have got to be kidding me.
UPDATE:
I have some pictures of Karl Rove's trip to La Raza. (I know it's cliche', but I couldn't help it.)
Here's Karl getting off the plane in Los Angeles. It has been a rough flight, but hey; this is about unity with our illegal brothers.
La Raza leadership give Karl the tour of their new charter school. This is the place where 'La Amo Raza' is cultivated to it's pure state. They have already taken care of that 'invade your neighbor' part of the big plan. Now that is efficiency.
No doubt impressed, Karl sits down and works out 15 million in U.S. taxpayer education grants (appeasement concessions).
Finally, upon his return to D.C. Karl holds up a piece of new amnesty legislation for the U.S. congress.
'Don't worry folks, I have had a long and fruitful discussion with La Raza, and they have assured me that they really didn't mean all that talk about killing off the white gringo American. We will have peace in our time. Keep up those school payments. Trust me. You wouldn't want to provoke them.'

It is all Fun and Games
...until someone loses their life. Gubernatorial independent candidate Christi Mihos has been warning the people of Massachusetts about the problems on the Big Dig for years. He has been at it, since Jane Swift fired him and threw him overboard from the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority. I wrote about the technical shortcomings of the Big Drip, somewhat humorously, back in this fisk.
It doesn't seem so funny now.
Not So Private Business
Moonbats would be quick to point out only the complicity and greed of private businesses, involved in Big Dig construction. This doesn't fool anybody. All of these contracts are procured by political public sector palm greasing. State agencies and not-so-private private interests create a multi-billion dollar legalistic paper Hydra, which insulates everyone, both public and private from accountability. Much like our federal government bureaucracy, there is tongue wagging abound, with very little jail time for anyone. This was a marriage that could only be made by government shaking hands with government connected businessmen, instead of keeping its grubby hands out and contributing to checks and balances.
The Authority
For anyone, who lives in a state without the curse of one or more state authorities; a state authority is a bureaucratic construct. It is an automaton, without control. Authorities were an ill-conceived attempt to provide private style business efficiency to government, after WWII. Without market checks and fiscal responsibility, there is nothing to prevent the inevitable bureaucratic meltdown. Authorities become expensive warehouses, to shelve the recipients of political nepotism and favoritism. They mercilessly draw off the resources of taxpayers and ratepayers. They do this without supply and demand control. They give politicians a convenient excuse to blame something other than themselves for undesirable graft driven behavior. The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority killed a young woman last night, by negligent homicide.
Matt Amorello
Matt is the quintessential bureaucrat. He grabs all the glory and headlines, when he thinks things are going well, putting his name everywhere, at the ratepayer's expense. He instantly becomes a divergent singularity of blame, pointing to all outward directions from the space he occupies, when his own folly comes home to roost. Mitt Romney has been desperately trying to rid the state of this arrogant blob for several years now. But in an authority, the Governor has little authority. Matt's criminal negligence may change this situation.
Tom Reilly
This person is running for Governor of Massachusetts on the Democrat primary ticket. He is supposed to be the Attorney General for the state. Attorney general is the chief law enforcement officer. Here is how Tom has been diligently enforcing the law:
This is just the type of politician Massachusetts is famous for. ( Cue fat Teddy ).
Yes. Tom Reilly wants to be Governor.
The Wrapped Sandwich
Congratulate all of the shrimp cocktail, caviar and champagne bureaucrats, folks. They all cost a young woman, her life. They all cost the taxpayers of the United States over fourteen billion dollars for a defective, leaky and crumbling boondoggle.
Just think. If we vote Democrat in November, we can have the same type of government, a synchronous harmony of public graft, private pandering and main stream media propaganda, to fill the leaks in the seams of public opinion. Then we can watch education, immigration and national security go straight to hell.

- Tom Reilly openly and publicly advocated for in state tuition rates for illegal aliens.
- Tom Reilly vigorously and vocally defied both state and federal immigration laws, by openly refusing to enforce the law.
- Tom Reilly directly interfered with the investigation of the drunk driving deaths of two young girls.
- Now, Tom Reilly is caught cautioning Matt Amorello, not to address the press, on a tragedy which everyone knew was inevitable. Within hours, he pledges to provide a deep criminal investigation.
This is just the type of politician Massachusetts is famous for. ( Cue fat Teddy ).
Yes. Tom Reilly wants to be Governor.

Shooting Blanks
I wonder if Kim is suffering from some Freudian delusion, driven by violent repressed, impotence and/or homosexual denial.
I wonder if he is engaging in projection, as is evidenced by an unhealthy fascination with metal cylinders called Taepodong-2.
One thing is for sure. After seven tries, he still can't get anything up.
There are those on the left who still insist on putting a rational face on this maniac. Of course, I still remember back in November of 2005, when red North Koreans ran Christian church leaders over with steam rollers, in front of fainting crowds.
I guess that event was not on the Ted Turner tour.
Everybody seems so concerned about North Korea's ability to hit the U.S. or Japan. They do not even need to make it that far. They could airburst a nuke over Taiwan or the Phillipines, which would take out a large chunk of the U.S. high tech economy, which heavily relies on the region for electronic fabrication.
I am sure the Chinese would be crying over the pile of money they would make, as U.S. interests desperately shift production over to the red mainland. I am sure they would poo-poo our concerns about stolen intellectual property. No doubt they would reward the little bastard with a state parade, and a large supply of Western movies on stolen DVDs.
