Space for Sale?

NASA Chief Charles Bolden

NASA head Charles Bolden has been charged by the US President with new priorities for the American Space Agency…From a leading innovator of science, technology and “going where no man has dared to go”…

NASA's New Mission?

To a watered down social welfare agency charged with, among other things, Muslim Outreach…

The new priorities outlined for NASA by Obama are nothing short of absurd…They are destined to accelerate America’s descent into “normalcy”…They are rapidly realizing the US President’s vision of his country as no better than any other nation…at anything…unfortunately…

Just Say No

Obama says he sees NASA as “not only a space exploration agency, but an Earth Improvement Agency”…Really????

Bye-Bye

I guess we can say goodbye to American pride in still another area…not to mention the very real threats presented by these crazy policies to America’s security and economic interests…

Nuclear Iran

Also…It’s official…Iran goes nuclear this September…that’s just 2 months from now…

And the UAE ambassador to the US publicly states, “We are not willing to live with a nuclear Iran…Bomb Iran…A pre-emptive strike is the only alternative”

All this and more on “The Marty Roberts Show”…

Oh, yeah…Dubai is a country that I REALLY want to visit, quite the vacation destination, it seems.
Not that they would even let me in, anyway, being Jewish and a citizen of Israel and all. I COULD always use my US passport. Those ads on CNN make it look Oh, so inviting…
I think that I could abstain from having sex in public for the duration of my visit, but I don’t know about not drinking any alcohol. One month in jail for the public kiss, but I guess the moonshine is a lesser charge.
I wonder if it was really the Israeli Mossad kissing in public…in disguise, of course…

British kissing couple awaits jail verdict in Dubai


A British couple accused of kissing in public in the Muslim emirate of Dubai will find out next month if an appeals court will uphold their one-month prison sentence, their lawyer said on Sunday.

The couple is accused of “committing a sexual act (by) kissing on the lips and touching,” lawyer Khalaf al-Hosani told AFP. “A final verdict will be reached on April 4,” by the Misdemeanours Appeals Court, he said.

The two, named by the press as Ayman Najafi, 24, a British expat in Dubai, and British tourist Charlotte Lewis, 25, were arrested in November, after an Emirati woman accused them of kissing in a restaurant in the trendy Jumeirah Beach Residence neighbourhood.

They are also accused of consuming alcohol, a charge to which they pleaded guilty, but said they only kissed on the cheek.

They were convicted in January and sentenced to one month in prison. But they have been on bail since their arrest, with their passports held by the authorities, Hosani said.

The lawyer said he told court that the only witness, a 38-year-old Emirati woman, has presented different statements.

“She told the police that she saw them kissing, while she told the prosecution that her children saw them,” he said, adding that the defence is arguing that the couple only kissed on the cheek “as a greeting” which is allowed.

British embassy spokesman, Simon Goldsmith, said the UK mission was “aware of the arrest of a British national on November 27,” and that “consular assistance was provided at the time,” but declined to provide further details.

Dubai is a popular destination for British tourists. Around 1.1 million British nationals visited the United Arab Emirates in 2009, but the city state still adheres to certain strict Islamic rules, and bans sex outside marriage.

More than 100,000 British nationals live in the UAE.

Dubai doesn’t even recognize that Israel exists. Shahar Peer was barred from this tourney last year, even though she was one of the 30 top woman tennis players in the world. The UAE refused to grant her a visa, so she could not enter the country. Sweet revenge!!



Peer rolls into Dubai semis

Israeli tennis star continues superb performance, set to meet Venus Williams next

A year after she was stopped from playing in the Dubai Championships, Israeli tennis star Shahar Peer is proving unstoppable in reaching the semifinals on Thursday.

Unseeded Peer beat her third seed in four matches when No. 8 Li Na, the Australian Open semifinalist, retired with back spasms. Peer was leading 7-5, 3-0.

Peer, who has also beaten No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki and No. 13 Yanina Wickmayer, will meet defending champion Venus Williams.

“I’m beating so many good players,” Peer said. “It’s really good and I’m happy by the way I’m playing. I think I’m playing very, very good, and everything is coming together. So I just hope to keep going.”

‘She’s so brave’
Peer, who was been surrounded by security and played only on the most secure court at Aviation Club, earned the admiration of Williams.

“She’s so brave and she’s got so much character. I can’t imagine being in her shoes,” Williams said.

“I can’t imagine playing so well with this kind of circumstance. I don’t think anyone else on tour could do what she’s doing.”

Last year, Peer’s visa was denied by the United Arab Emirates for security reasons, so the WTA Tour punished the tournament organizers with a heavy fine.

She’s into at least the semifinals for the third time this year.
