Number One browser in Germany, the first country of major consequence where IE has been knocked off the high perch.
However, it’s #1 with a plurality, but not a majority. I predicted about two or three years ago that the year following would be the year that Firefox gets a majority in some country. It hasn’t happened yet, but it’ll probably be in Slovenia or one of the Baltics when it does. If it can happen in Germany, that would be even better.
Full of tech companies (lovin’ them H-1Bs), academics and union leaders. So the jobs they won’t recommend to create will either be in India, or in the United States but done by an Indian with an H-1B visa, or in public elementary, middle and secondary schools, in institutions of higher learning (lower living) and anything in a union that does not involve middle-aged white men nor real industry/manufacturing.
I’ll take a flyer, then pitch the flyer.
The civil wrongs crowd is already pushing in that direction, and I’m sure this thing in the White House would do it. Today is the 150th Anniversary of his execution.
But the reason that John Brown shouldn’t be pardoned is because he was trying to provoke another Haiti.
The Haitian “Revolution” (i.e. attempted genocide of whites by blacks, spearheaded by mulattoes) early in the 19th century affected the consciousness of the Southern slave-holding class until the WBTS. This is why most slave states seemed to have insane laws on their books. They only seem insane to today’s sensibilities, but made perfect sense in context. One such law was that no person was allowed to give blacks literacy lessons, i.e. teach them how to read. MO had such a law, and groups who wanted to teach St. Louis’s blacks how to read chartered steamboats and riverboats to cruise the Illinois part of the Mississippi River near St. Louis (IL never had such a law) and literacy lessons were held onboard. The modern mind would interpret that as racist oppression. But the reason these laws were enacted was that the slave holding class feared that a little learning was a dangerous thing.
BTW, if you don’t know what that phrase means, it means that half-witted people with feeble minds wouldn’t interpret facts and information they learned in context, and would not bother to realize that there is a “rest of the story” to things they have learned, and bother to discover these additional facts, and their feeble minds would run with that information in crazy and insane and paranoid directions. In other words, a mind that can only absorb so much and only absorbs the little bit it can thinks that it’s a lot more smarter than it actually is, only because it’s like the thimble of water filled up to the top, compared to that half-full gallon of the savant next to him. The phrase has its roots in the literature of Alexander Pope.
Plug that into 1850s America, the slave holding class didn’t want blacks (free or slave) to learn how to read because they knew they wouldn’t be able to use that knowledge to read Shakespeare and Milton and Newton. Their new-found half-baked literacy of (even then) what they knew to be the typical feeble black mind would inevitably be led in the direction of Haitian-style revolution and anti-white ethnic cleansing, with the white slave holders being the obvious first targets. Furthermore, organized efforts at the time to teach blacks how to lead had very close links to those, like John Brown, who espoused Haitian-style insurrectionist rhetoric. Brown’s insurrection, though it was not aimed directly at a slave owner, was seen (and probably was indeed) the first step in that direction. This is why the Federal government, still predominated by Southern politicians even in 1859, came down hard and fast on Brown.
As an aside, look at how well black literacy has worked out today. Most American blacks know how to read, and what has this led to? Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, kook theories once taken seriously in the black community that jeans were being doused in secret formulas meant to sterilize black men, the theory that the K-with-circle logo on labels of Snapple Tea meant the Ku Klux Klan (it really means Kosher for Jewish consumption), spaceships orbiting the Earth, Afrocentrism, Egypt was black, Cleopatra was black, Martin Luther King is God, and so on and so forth. “The more insane an idea is, the more illogical it is, the more nonsensical it is, the more likely it is to be accepted as common currency in the black community. It is a linear relationship.” — EPH III
Or, to put it as Alexander Pope might have, a little learning can be a dangerous thing.
SLPD takes a man putting anti-McKee literature under car windshield wipers off to the city can, but the City Attorney won’t file charges.
If it’s illegal to do that, then almost every non-chain pizza and Chinese restaurant in the City also deserves to go to jail.
There’s another reason why local control of the SLPD is a bad idea. Mayor Slop is Paul McKee’s personal bitch, so Slop would sick the cops on every McKee critic.
BTW, what the fuck does someone want to “redevelop” North St. Louis for, anyway? To plop even more yuppie hippie libs into the city and scatter more blacks out to St. Louis County? Though that probably explains why Slop wants to so much — more liberal whites instead of blacks means that Slop is Mayor forever.
No cap-and-tax for Australia, mate. Kevin Rudd will be going to Copenhagen practically butt ass naked.
Channel 5 has this piece about the recent success of UMSL basketball. BTW, when did they change their nickname? They were the “Rivermen” for as long as I can remember, and now they’re called the “Tritons.”
Anyway, the video portion shows that the locker room is now carpeted and the lockers are made of wood. Which is, of course, the reason why the team is off to a 5-0 start, because they get to stand on carpet while changing between their street clothes and uniforms or gym clothes, and store either in a space surrounded by wood.
What is it with certain people and carpet? About 15 years ago, I overheard two black women, both St. Louis City residents, talking to each other. One told the other that she was sending her daugther, who was about to finish 7th grade in the St. Louis City Public Schools, out to a St. Louis County district starting the following year, under the interdistrict deseg program that existed at the time; IIRC, she was going to the Parkway district. She said that since her new school has carpeted floors, her daughter will learn better.
Carpet also makes you smarter, evidently. See what I missed out on by not going to a school with carpet on its floors? See what I missed out on by not going to a gym with a carpeted locker room? Although when it comes to that, I’ve dropped from a March 2007 high of 209 pounds down to 153 last week, which is what I weighed when I was 19. Carpet must not be good for that much after all.
That explains the pit bull.
Oops, I meant Sumner.
P-D:
After year of fights, shooting, historic Sumner High School may close
St. Louis — One of St. Louis’ oldest and most historic high schools has failed so many academic measures and been so riddled by violence this year that city school officials are wrestling with a choice: Dramatically reform Sumner High School — or close it immediately.
Alumni are now scrambling to save the 135-year-old Sumner. It is the first school for black students west of the Mississippi, and alma mater to such notables as singer Tina Turner, tennis great Arthur Ashe and retired congressman William L. Clay Sr.
Supporters meet this week to patch together a plan, hoping to rally local businesses, organize fundraisers and corral 100 community mentors for the school’s nearly 600 students.
“I’m just so afraid that once they close it, you know — maybe it might not reopen,” said Jacqueline Vanderford, president of the Sumner Alumni Association. “We want to keep it open, and work on what we can.”
I hope that somebody comes up with a “plan” that Adams falls for, in spite of its futility. I don’t want Sumner to close — If it does, all that will happen is that its (almost entirely black) troublemakers will be spread to other city high schools. Of course, it’s not like most of those other schools are any better off.
Primary school league tables 2009: academy is ‘worst’ school
One of Labour’s new academy schools was officially rated the “worst” in the country after parents refused to allow children to take Sats.
League tables show the Steiner Academy, Herefordshire, registered zero in English, maths and science exams for 11-year-olds this year.
The academy – an “all through” school for pupils aged four to 16 – is the first state-funded Steiner school in England.
Lessons are based on the principle that children learn in different ways and at different speeds – meaning education is tailored to the “whole child” rather than being focused on the three-Rs.
The moral of this story is that children can’t “learn in different ways and at different speeds” unless they’re learning at all.
I can’t tell from this article, but I glanced at the school’s website, and at least from the photos they show, the school’s students are almost all white. In other words, this is a school designed to appeal to dippy white liberal parents.

Also from Jolly Ole, another establishment liblabcon politician is now saying the water’s warm when it comes to helping the white working class, in contrast to the Blair/Brown governments having “ignored” their plight. Of course, as the article says, it’s all to head off the BNP. Except that I first read a story like this in June 2001, after a BNP candidate for Parliament finished in a surprisingly well third place and ahead of the Tories in a yellow dog Labour district where Muslims rioted a few months earlier, IIRC the town’s name is Oldham. And I have read such an article about once every three months since then, to the present time.
So for eight and a half years, all the establishment politicians and media in Britain have done is talk about how they were remiss to ignore the white working class. When are they going to start not ignoring the white working class? They can’t seem to do it in 8.5 years, so me might have to give them another 8.5. Or, better than that, vote BNP.
…And by that, I mean Federal money, on “bus monitors.” That means an adult human being responsible for quelling fights and incidents on every bus.
I don’t have a problem with it, but I also don’t think it’s going to work. I mean, what will it all amount to? Another human being to see with his or her own eyes what the School District and the Police Department and the State’s Attorney’s office will ignore, that blacks love to hate and beat up whites?
A Krona to a Krispy Kreme that the St. Louis MSM treats this as a way to “stop fights on the bus,” and while you hear the words “stop fights,” you’ll see the school bus camera video of the gang hate that took place on the bus a few months ago. In other words, the St. Louis MSM is trying to distract from the race hate by interspersing the vocal word “fight” over this video. Not “fight,” you dumbass, racial hate crime.
