Gates of Vienna News Feed 12/22/2010

Gates of Vienna News Feed 12/22/2010President Barack Hussein Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, was unaware of the terror plot that was just foiled in Britain. His ignorance of the recent arrests in England and Wales was revealed when he was interviewed by Diane Sawyer on ABC News yesterday. His staff had not briefed him on what had just happened.

In other news, a prominent imam in Ghana is predicting doom in 2011. Sheihu Imam Rashid Hussein Salawat Qutubu Az-zamaan says that an “the unbalanced nature of the world where there is too much weight to one side” will cause extensive natural disasters. He proposes to remedy the situation by constructing huge pyramids along the equator, and also by having leaders recite the Koran 220 times.

I can see reciting the Koran 200 times but more than that and we're talking crazy talk.
