I thought the prop my manager used at our last “team building” exercise looked familiar.

"Arbeit Macht Frei" — German for "Work Sets You Free" — has been stolen.

Look nice next to the original Mona Lisa he has.

Nope, it’s the original, cast by the prisoners.

I’m so sad to learn of this theft. The sign is a reminder that things can be so much worse for the entire world. I truly hope someone is brave enough to blow the whistle on the thieves.

‘Face

On the day I receive from my friend the gift of Mark Steyn, Lights Out: Islam, free speech and the twilight of the west.

After Iran has tested its missile.

After yet a newer update is released on Iran's building the essential activator for its bomb.

After we have allowed an Islamo-Commie sleeper to burrow into the most powerful position on earth.

After an Army major can give a six-month advance notice of his intent to mass-murder infidels to promote jihad.

Israel is public enemy number one of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy team, not Putin's Russia, nor repressive China.

It is a Sign of the Times.

I think of Steyn as a light in the darkness.
Where there’s light there’s hope (the genuine kind).

Polish police say the infamous iron sign over the gate to the Auschwitz memorial site with the cynical phrase "Arbeit Macht Frei" — German for "Work Sets You Free" — has been stolen.

VERY SAD...

SYMPATHY FOR A ZERO
Sung to the tune of SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL (no disrespect meant for Mick & Keith)

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of stealth and race
I’ve been around for a short, short time
Hid my past at the fastest pace

I cheer on the ground where Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Israel
was thrown into a murderous fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope is my refrain
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my change

I slunk from the troops in Afghanistan
and Iran when they tried for a change
Filled the Czars they’re so sinister
Constitution screamed in vain

I stole the banks
with a Chairman’s rank
When depression raged
And the Fed it stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope is my refrain, oh yeah
Ah, what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my change, oh yeah
(wee wee, wee wee)

I watched with glee
When my unions reigned
Ruined the ten decades
Of the cars they made
(who who, who who)

I shouted out,
“Who killed the Energy?”
When after all
It was cap and fee
(who who, who who)

Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of stealth and race
And I laid tax for carbon doors
That get killed before they reached Bombay
(woo woo, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope is my refrain, oh yeah
(who who)
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my change, oh yeah, get down, baby
(guess who, guess who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what’s confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(woo woo, who who)

Just as all my crap is so criminal
And all my motives feints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
‘Cause I’m in need of huge restraint
(wee wee, wee wee)

So if you beat me
Have some brutality
Have some viciousness, put me in chains
(yea who)
Use all your saved hostilities
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, mmm yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)

Pleased to meet you
Are you sick of my refrain, mmm yeah
(who who)
But what angers you
Is the nature of my change, mmm mean it, get down
(woo woo, woo woo)

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
(woo woo)

Tell me baby, Hussein’s my name
Call me Barry, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, Barak’s my name
I tell you one time, you’re to blame

Oh, who
woo, woo
Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah

What’s my name
Tell me, baby, Barak’s my name
Tell me, sweetie, what’s my name

Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Woo woo
Woo woo

I think you should send the blasted thing to Berlin and make the Germans look at it every day. I’m just saying...
