After a long hiatus, Saturday Night Live’s “Ambiguously Gay Duo” is back, and the first three minutes of the animated sketch feature plenty of the kinds of lines you’d expect (sample: “Commissioner, we make a great team: You finger the perps, and we give them our fist.”). And then…

After Feigned Outrage Over ‘Cop Killer’ Rapper, Huckabee Brings in Ted Nugent Preceding His ‘Big Announcement’

Click here to view this media Well, no big surprise that Mike Huckabee decided he was enjoying his well-paying gig over at Fox News so much that he’s not going to run for president in 2012. If we weren’t sure before he made it official tonight, this appearance by Ted Nugent on his show just prior to his “big announcement” should have tipped everyone off. Nugent was asked what he thought about the killing of Osama bin Laden and although Nugent praised the decision to go in and get him, he downplayed the importance of them finally killing him by saying it didn’t really matter that much in the overall “war on terror.” Anyone think he wouldn’t have been dancing around praising Bush as the best president ever if this had happened under Bush’s watch? And for all the talk from Huckabee about being a Christian and a man of god, why is he allowing someone who spouts off the kind of inflammatory, violent rhetoric we heard out of Nugent here on his show? I think we all know the answer to that, but I find it pretty ironic after all of the yelping over the rapper Common coming to the White House , on the night that one of the Republican Party’s supposed “front runners” was potentially going to announce whether he was running for president or not, he chooses to bring someone like Nugent on to spout this nonsense: NUGENT: And everybody rejoiced. There was an uproarious celebration because we know that when good wins over evil it’s perfect. And that was a perfect maneuver. God bless President Obama for making that right decision. HUCKABEE: He did make the right decision. NUGENT: And god bless the warriors. I get to train and hang with these heroes of the military and especially those comando warriors, those U.S. Navy Seals. Um, you’ve all heard about equality. I’m sorry, we’re not equal to them. They’re superior beings. They are the greatest warriors in the history of the world and they’re ours. HUCKABEE: Ted, let’s talk about it. Are we safer because of the death of Osama bin Laden? Does that make this world a more secure place? NUGENT: No. It was a great moment and it was long overdue, but in the real world with the war on terror and our security, it was a hiccup. It was a brief good, but it isn’t even the beginning of what we have to do. we have to kill them all. We have to find all his idiots and we have to kill them all. If we unleash the heroes of our military who are trained and ready to do so if we just did what Obama did that day and said go kill him. You know where he is. Go get him. If we just let the warriors do that like they’re supposed to all of those rats, all of those mongrels, then we would be on our way to being safe. But we’re not safer now. The only way towards peace and love is to kill people who mess with your peace and love. HUCKABEE: Hmm. I want to talk about the… NUGENT: That’s how you build nations. Nugent went on to endorse militarizing our borders in the United States and claimed we could stop all of the illegal immigrants coming in “before 6pm” if they just let the military come down there. He then went on to compare securing the entire border of the United States to him being able to secure his private property. So I’ve got a question for Mike Huckabee. How many “rats” would Jesus kill Huck? Of course Huckabee knows exactly what he’s getting when he allows Ted Nugent on his show after this appearance. Click here to view this media You remember the time he told a concert audience back in 2007 that Barack Obama was a “piece of s–t” and suggested both he and Hillary Clinton get a taste of his semi-automatic weapon: Nugent: I was in Chicago last week I said—Hey Obama, you might want to suck on one of these you punk? Obama, he’s a piece of shit and I told him to suck on one of my machine guns…Let’s hear it for them. I was in NY and I said hey Hillary—you might want to ride one of these into the sunset you worthless bitch…Since I’m in California, I’m gonna find– she might wanna suck on my machine gun! Hey, Dianne Feinstein, ride one of these you worthless whore. Any questions? Freeeeedom! And it’s not just at concerts. He’s done this on Fox News too. This is a guy who told Neil Cavuto we should ‘kill the pigs’ — like the ‘Marxist’ pigs in the White House — and told Sean Hannity that Obama was “spitting on the Constitution” . I also found it pretty ironic that Huckabee and Nugent decided to treat the audience at his show to the two of them playing Cat Scratch Fever following this segment. If the fact that he had Nugent on in the first place wasn’t enough of a hint that there was no way he was running, not wanting the lyrics to Cat Scratch Fever to be his official campaign song might have been a hint as well. Media Matters has an extensive report on all of the feigned outrage over the rapper Common that I linked above. I highly recommend reading the whole article here — Fox News’ Contrived Outrage Over “‘Cop Killer’ Rapper” .

WiFi-only Motorola Xoom won’t have Movies right away, Canadian Xooms getting SD support someday

If you’re the proud owner of a Motorola Xoom, you will get Android 3.1 , but we’re afraid the timing and features included in that update may depend on where you reside and which one you bought. For instance, while both Verizon 3G and WiFi-only Xooms in the United States are seeing the latest Honeycomb slowly trickle in right now , Motorola says that the WiFi version won’t have movie rentals available immediately after the update. What’s more, though the new hotness doesn’t seem to bring microSD card support to US devices, Motorola says that Canadian models will get that exact functionality “soon.” What if you don’t live in North America at all? We’re afraid we can’t tell you. WiFi-only Motorola Xoom won’t have Movies right away, Canadian Xooms getting SD support someday originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 15 May 2011 16:06:00 EDT.

PlayStation Network restored to limited service

Sony begins restoring service in the United States and Europe after shutting it down last month after a security breach Sony began restoring its PlayStation Network service in the United States and Europe after shutting it down last month after a security breach affecting more than 100m online accounts. Restored operations are mainly limited to online gaming, chat and music streaming. Sony said it aimed to fully restore the network by the end of May. The company also began a phased restoration of its Qriocity movie and music services which share the PlayStation Network’s server, said a Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. spokesman Satoshi Fukuoka. Limited services will also resume in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the Middle East, and Sony said it will start restoring the service for users in Asia soon. Sony’s PlayStation Network is a system that links gamers worldwide in live play. Sony shut it down on April 20 after discovering a hacker attack and said personal data, including credit card numbers, may have been stolen. But the company said it had not received any reports of the stolen information being used illegally. Kazuo Hirai, chief of Sony Corp’s PlayStation video game unit, said in a statement that the company has beefed up security measures to protect customers’ personal data. He offered “sincere regret” for any inconvenience caused by the network intrusion. While the partial service allows users to enjoy video games and online chat, Sony said consumers still cannot buy video games or other content by using credit cards. “While we understand the importance of getting our services back online, we did not rush to do so at the expense of extensively and aggressively testing our enhanced security measures,” Hirai said. Among the 100 million user accounts, Sony said about 92 million can access the limited PlayStation Network service. The network serves both the PlayStation video game machines and Sony’s Qriocity movie and music services. It is a system that also allows users to upgrade and download games and other content. Sony spokesman Sosuke Kamei said the company’s probe into the hacker attack was ongoing. He declined to give details on the investigation. Sony came under heavy criticism over its handling of the network intrusion. The company did not notify consumers of the breach until April 26 even though it began investigating unusual activity on the network from April 19. Last month, US lawyers filed a lawsuit against Sony on behalf of lead plaintiff Kristopher Johns for negligent protection of personal data and failure to inform players in a timely fashion that their credit card information may have been stolen. The lawsuit seeks class-action status. Since the shutdown of the PlayStation Network on 20 April, Sony’s share price has dropped nearly 9% to close at 2,241 yen ($28) on Friday.

Afghanistan’s ‘Sandhurst in the sand’ to bring square-bashing to Kabul

Head of Afghan army wants officers to be trained at replica of college he hopes to build with support from Britain The school is a cornerstone of the British military establishment – revered by those who survive it, feared by those who don’t. But Sandhurst may soon have a rival in a rather unlikely place. The head of the Afghan national army, General Sher Mohammad Karimi, wants to build a replica of the Royal Military Academy, which has been churning out officers for the British army since 1741. General Karimi attended Sandhurst in Camberley, Surrey, in the 1960s and has never forgotten the experiences he had there. They would have included basic training on military tactics and leadership, as well as being bawled at by sergeant majors, boot polishing and square bashing. So-called “beasting” which involves pushing cadets to their physical limits with a tough regime of cross-country runs, boxing and route marches, would also have been in operation. And this is exactly the sort of thing Karimi wants his own high-flyers to go through in an effort to bring Afghanistan’s army up to scratch. In Kabul the idea – dubbed “Sandhurst in the sand” – has already won the approval of American and British commanders with Isaf, the international security and assistance force. President Hamid Karzai now has to sign off the idea. General William Caldwell, head of Isaf’s army and police training, told the Guardian: “General Karimi would very much love to build Sandhurst in Afghanistan. I’m supporting him. He thinks so highly of Sandhurst, he would love to model it and build it here. I know the UK government is looking at it in terms of providing trainers to help if we were to do this.” Caldwell added that Karimi had returned to Sandhurst last month as a guest of honour and found the trip very moving. Three Afghans have been training at Sandhurst over the past year, while another three are due to arrive soon. “When he was there in 1967 you did a two-year course, not a one-year course,” said Caldwell. “He thinks today’s cadets have got it easy. When he was there he knew very little English, and had to study and study. He was the only trainee not from the UK.” During his recent visit to the UK Karimi praised the level of training at Sandhurst. He said: “[It] provides the ideal preparation for candidates to return to the Afghan national army as really good quality officers.” The school at Sandhurst was established in 1947, but the army has had a military academy since 1741.
