Winner of today’s most disturbing look into the life of a typical Palestinian, via. Little Green Footballs: A Mother from Hell. This woman is actually disappointed that her daughter failed to become a suicide bomber (she was caught before her bomb vest went off). I have a pretty good imagination, but that is just incomprehensible. The whole Arab-Israeli conflict is so alien to me that it might as well be taking place on Venus.
Winner of today’s most delusional Americablog quote: “On average, I’d say, the top liberal blogs are not far-left, nor are they conservative Democrats. The top bloggers tend to be middle of the road Democrats (or liberals) who occasionally veer left and right of Democratic center depending on the issue…” The media, politicians, and academics do NOT understand who bloggers, and what blogs, are. You have GOT to be kidding me. Clearly that author does not consider Americablog to be a top liberal blog, then.
Politicians with a sense of humor should be encouraged: Just Say No to Republican Adoption.
Articles on the rise of politically correct euphamisms are always amusing, even if they’ve been done a hundred times before and betray the author’s essential laziness: John Leo: Awash in euphemisms.
For the temporal warriors among you, here’s an interesting (if somewhat verbose) piece on the moral implications of time travel, found on Jimmy Akin’s Catholic blog: The Temporal Prime Directive. It loses credibility points for referencing Star Trek in the title, though.
In the continuing “debate” on the cartoon controversy, here are two conservative articles echoing Mark Steyn’s “liberals need to wise up quick” rallying cry: We should fear Holland’s silence and Dennis Prager: Why the Left doesn’t blame Muslims for Muslim violence. (Like Steyn, neither offers a solution.)
