Who knows, maybe heÂ’s just a random nut job walking around a public park in camouflage and an assault weapon or maybe thereÂ’s something more sinister here. I guess the MSM will have to wait to see how to spin thisÂ…gun nut=lots of coverage, sudden jihadi=not so much.

A 26-year-old Dearborn resident, Houssein Zorkot, was arraigned in 19th District Court Tuesday on several felony charges, including carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent.

Zorkot, a third-year medical student at Wayne State University, was allegedly armed with an AK-47 assault rifle and dressed in black clothing with camouflage paint covering his face when he was arrested Saturday in Hemlock Park.

On the upside, the FBI has sprung into action

Dearborn police have called in the FBI to help with the case. FBI spokesperson Dawn Clenney confirmed they had been contacted about the case, but declined to discuss the issue any further.

"We are aware of the situation. It's their situation," Clenney said. "Beyond that it would be inappropriate to comment."

UPDATE:

Looks like thereÂ’s something to see here after all. Rusty at The Jawa Report has this quote from what appears to be the guys website:

"The start of my personal jihad" was posted on the day Zorkot was arrested.

And he proclaims his support for Hezbollah!

But the FBI says, ‘it’s their (the Dearborn Police's) situation”

Move along everybody.

A Norm MacDonald joke there. Anyway, happy Rosh Hashana.

The true "Jews didn't show up for work that day" conspiracy begins today, as millions of Jews who seem fairly secular and semi-observant suddenly discover they must start leaving work early every Friday for the next three months to beat the traffic avoid using electricity.

What a scam. Well-played, Jews. Very well-played.

Some Lesser-Known Jewish Conspiracies Noted Here: Good times. Some of the better ones are quoted at Christopher's blog. Some good ones:

You know when you get a bag of pistachios and there are some that aren't partially cracked open already. They break your eating rythm and you have to decide whether it's worth it to crack them open with your teeth or whether you should just them away.

That's the Jew's handiwork.

You when you take a crap in a public bathroom and then realize that there isn't any toilet paper - that's because a Jew took it.

...
You know when you go to the zoo to see the monkeys and lions and bears but those cages are all "closed for maintenance" and you waste your fuckin' day in the Turtle House?

That's because Jews can't have a bar mitzvah without monkeys and lions and bears.

404 Error?

No such thing exists.. It's a Kabbala code for "We whacked Christ."

...

You know when "some people" are moving in on you, and using the blacks as muscle?

I think you know where I'm headed with this.

...

You know who created the whole myth that women can have orgasms - perverted Jews.

...

Fran Drescher's career?

I guess she was just "lucky."

Brussel sprouts. Gee, a vegetable nobody likes but everyone seems compelled to buy.

"Jew lettuce," that's what I call it.

Daylight.
Savings.
Time.

Just so they could sell you more crap on the way home from work.

Basking in all the wonderful publicity they received from the Kyla Ebbert episode, Southwest Airlines has decided to go back to the well again. This time they told 21 year old Setara Qassim to cover up while on a flight from Vegas to Burbank.

What exactly does Southwest have against the young hotties?

A waiter in Ft. Lauderdale bolts to the rescue out of the restaurant where he's working when he sees a woman being carjacked. When the incident is over, and he tries to get back to work he find out that his boss fired him.

This is NOT the kind of press a restaurant needs. I'm guessing, their business is going to take a sharp drop. Dissing heroes isn't the way to win the hearts and minds of the buying public.

UPDATE: Well, that was fast. Moron-commenter theBman notes that the ban has already been rescinded and provides this shiny link that has a more complete version of the story. As one of you no doubt would have noted: "Old."

PC Administrators have run amok at Hobbton High School. Students are prohibited from wearing items with flags from any country, including the U.S.

The school created the new rule because of controversy around students wearing flags from other countries (my guess is Mexico). The dunderbrained superintendent says that all flags were banned so administrators wouldn't have to "pick and chose" which flags to allow.

The story came to light on Tuesday when a student honoring 9/11 was asked to remove her Stars and Stripes t-shirt.

Here's a hint for school administrators; this one's okay:

Incidentally, I'm not supportive of banning the display of any flags at schools unless absolutely necessary to prevent substantial disruption of pedagogical activities at the school.

Some guy in Michigan offed himself with a homemade guillotine.

Creativity - 9/10 (the idea is so old, its become new again)
Determination - 10/10 (it obviously worked)
Crowd pleaser - 0/10 (he did it out in the woods alone)

The Soviet judges gave the overall effort a solid 9.5

As many of you know, the 1st annual "Jackstock" will be taking place this Saturday, September 15th, between 8-12 PM in Washington, D.C.

For those who have not yet received the official invitation (blame LauraW, I put her in charge), let me share the guest list with you. It is sure to be the social event of the Century.

My future bride, Fox News' Miss Suzanne Sena, is a confirmed attendee. *

Red Eye's Andrew Levy will be appearing. **

Mary Katharine Ham will be there. ***

Michelle Malkin and the ever-mysterious Allahpundit will be present. ****

And, of course, yours truly will be serving as the Master of Ceremonies.

All of you are invited (except Michael), so contact LauraW to RSVP.

I know you have nothing else going on that night, after all. I look forward to seeing the Moron Army in full force.*****

*By "confirmed attendee" I mean, of course, that we will be watching that Red Eye clip where she mentions me repeatedly.

** Since he appears in the afore-mentioned Red Eye clip, Levy will also be "there", under a very loose definition.

*** I also plan to screen my complete collection of Hamnations, so, in a sense, MKH will be omnipresent.

**** Since posting here on Saturday night will probably be light, I imagine we will spend a lot of time posting comments on the Hot Air site to pass the time. I'm fairly confident Michelle and Allah will have some threads up, and nothing says "Par-tay!" like flooding the HA boards.

*****Really, if any of you show up at my house, I'm calling the cops.

Take a look and check the date of the last login.

Either the claims he's being embargoed are bullshit or someone else is logging into and updating his MySpace page.

Reason he was weaving in and out of lanes? His SUV has a wide stance.

I hope he gets Al Gore Jr.'s lawyer, because he's going to need it:

video of the arrest of House Judiciary Chairman Rob Briley over the weekend shows the Nashville Democrat alternately berating police and breaking down in sobs.

At one point a profane Briley asked officers to take him out to the woods and shoot him in the head.

...

Briley called the officer a Nazi and a brownshirt, then sang the first line of "Springtime For Hitler" from the Mel Brooks movie and musical "The Producers."

The video is not yet available, or at least I couldn't find it; let me know if you do.

Incidentally, he was arrested for vandalism after being released on the DUI -- cops found later he had done about a thousand bucks' worth of damage to the back of their cruiser trying to kick out the glass when he was left there alone.

So, let me answer the questions liberals want to ask:

Are you saying the arrest of a psychotic state rep means the war in Iraq is won?

Yes. And...?

The Vid:

It takes a while for the howling and sobbing to begin. Then it gets pretty good.

Thanks so much to SarahW.

Update: Actually, when confronted with the actual human suffering rather than just dryly reading about it, it's not as funny as I first thought.

It's far funnier.

No, really, it's not funny at all. I take no delight in this at all.

Well, some. But who's counting?

I'd have more sympathy if he didn't fall into the default whine about it being "Nazi, Germany" when someone's pulled over for driving in jerk-eyed meth cyclone.
