I always like when the wingnuts talk about things like Islamic cannibalism and the inherent violence of muslims, they sort of miss the fact that several largely white european traditionally christian peoples killed over 100 million of each other just a little over 50 years ago. Only 20 years after they had done it before. Nothing even remotely comparable on the scale of death and destruction has ever happened in muslim society.

I was in Afghanistan in the 1970s, several times, and I loved the place and the people (and the hash and the apple pie) — act with respect and you’ll get respected; diss ‘em and you’ll be lucky if you die quickly rather than lingering.

Have you changed since the seventies? Still wearing those bell-bottomed jeans and those platform saddle shoes? Of course not, these days you’re as ironically hip as the next guy, which is me.
Well, the Afghanis have changed, too. Abandoning their ancient culture of mutual respect, now they sit around hating freedom, and they know what to do about it!
I would say they’re not smoking enough hash, but I usually stay out of these cultural disputes. It’s too easy to be misunderstood.

One suspects that if Obama came out in favor of extraordinary rendition & torture tomorrow morning, Ms. Atlas would be a member in good standing with Amnesty International by noon. While still advocating global nuclear hell-fire as an antidote to possible Iranian nuclear power, of course … which all makes perfect sense, if your webpage includes creepy encomiums to a Grand Priestess of Inconsistency like Ayn Rand.

Re: Pam & Co., with their talk of ‘Islamic cannibalism,’ another cut off the album suggests itself — “The Lame-ia.”

Fucking Genesis fans find their way into everything.

What sucks is when they take up all the space at Genesis concerts.

Not since Duke, really. People there merely to squeal like pigs over “I Can’t Dance” shouldn’t really qualify as fans.

“No, parody is useless.”

No, sir, no, I say. Those lines about excrement were hilarious. Buck UP, man.

I hate to think what her male fans are up to after seeing them…

It’s ok, otherwise they would be lurking around the frozen food section of the supermarket, leering through the glass doors every time a woman tries to reach in for a box of fish sticks.

Obama is truly a limp-wristed elitist appeaser power-mad warmonger! We need an iron-fisted strongman compassionate diplomat like John McCain in the White House to ensure that Islam is eradicated dies out on its own without neo-imperialist Western intervention!

Hundreds of years ago anti-Jewish plays were put on. One of the libels acted out was the abuse of communion wafers. Nailed to the wall, they would bleed.

I forget where I picked this up, but it was probably Howard Fast’s _The Jews: A History Of A People_.

Oh, and sorry Yankee fans, Paps is not overrated. And Terry Cheesesteak won the All Star game for the second time in his career. Yeah, Boston sucks. Yeah, yeah.

Haven’t looked at any comments. Had to say that you f*cked with one of my favorite Genesis songs. Now, I’ll go lurk again.

Mark my words. She’ll say McCain isn’t going far enough. She’s nothing if not consistent in her inconsistency.
