He was saving the world from homeless "Vampire Peacocks".

To the blockquotes!

A peacock that roamed into a fast-food store parking lot was savagely attacked by man who vilified the bird as a vampire, animal-control authorities said.

Beaten so fiercely that most of his tail feathers fell out, the bird was euthanized, said Richard Gentles, a spokesman for the city Center for Animal Care and Control.

"Tail feathers" my ass! If Mr. Gentles read this blog he would know that was just a euphemism for "avian cock blocker".

The peacock, a male several years old, wandered into a Staten Island Burger King parking lot and perched on a car hood Thursday morning. Charmed employees had been feeding him bread when the man appeared.

I thought Giuliani fixed this problem when he was Mayor. Fuckin' Bloomberg.

He seized the iridescent bird by the neck, hurled the creature to the ground and started kicking and stomping the animal, said worker Felicia Finnegan.

"He was going crazy," said Finnegan, 19.

Asked what he was doing, she said, the bird-beater explained, "'I'm killing a vampire!"'

Ummm....Ob-V! How could these employees not know this?

Employees called police, but the attacker ran when he saw them.

Where he proceeded to post entries about license plates on his well known blog.

I, for one, will sleep a little more soundly tonight, though. Ace's hunger has been sated, and for the time being he sleep's one off rests.

Radical Islam in England, revealed.

Christopher Hitchens suggested watching this. I think I've actually linked this before, but if you haven't seen it, it's worth watching.

Part one is below. The other five parts can be found here.

Thanks to JackM., who got the actual title from, of course, Allah himself (who also has video of Hitchens' appearance, and links to the Vanity Fair articles he mentions).

Thanks to JackM., via the Corner.

Unrelated Bleg: Christopher Hitchens suggested watching an net film called, he said, "Underground Mosque" about the connection between radical Islamists and organized crime. He seems to be in error about that name, as I can find no references to such a movie. (There are hits on that search term, but apparently for an actual underground mosque in Malaysia.)

Anyone know what the actual title is?
