Rick’s problem is that he gave credit to Attorney General Gonzalez and not enough credit to the Dems. The inevitable happened; he was slammed from the left.

You are most likely right about that. Any concilatory action now would require a reasonable and rational response from them and we all know that ain’t never gonna happen in this situation. I think I was just saying that it’s too bad it got to this point. That’s all.

Let’s face it…there are enough earth shattering problems as it is without creating more by either mistake or design? I wonder if the Danish editors even “dreamed” what the result of their cartoons would be.

In a world where even rumors can cause major scale riots (i.e. Korans in toilets) and Hollywood stars who participate in movies in that part of the world where “fiction” is viewed as fact…we can only expect more of the same. When this Gary Busey, Billy Zane movie comes out I fear it will be much worse. I had really hoped that fellow Americans would have the decency and the sense not to participate in this hatefulness no matter what their politics but obviously they are. Why? Is it all just for money? Or is it hatred of their own country? I’m not sure which is worse. And people will die…because of a MOVIE that all too many in the middle east will be brainwashed into thinking is real.

as for the old broad from mahablog, I think she is really janet reno with a five o’clock shadow.

Seriously….look at her…either that or she is really in touch with her simian ancestry.

Will Amadinajad’s (sic) new suggestion that there be a Holocaust cartoon contest (very weird and disgusting) potentially raise an intriguing question?

In order to take up a pen and make a cartoon, will they have to put down their AK47s? Since cartoons themselves never actually hurt anyone, will this serve as a more acceptable alternative to violent outrage? Don’t know. Just asking. And if Danish and other newspapers allowed some acceptable (non-violent) response to their editorial cartoons would would Islamics respond?

It sure would be interesting to find out. Just not sure how.

Barbara O’Brien proved, conclusively, that the TANG documents were not fakes, or so she said. (wiggling eyebrows)

BTW, I know you feel the last episode of 24 was alittle slow but the show needs those lulls in order for headquarters to get their FISA warrants.

I just left a message on Maha’s blog asking him:

a) Is he old enough to get into PG13 rated movies?

– and –

b) If he’s tall enough to ride the roller coaster?

Or was it Mahwan? I forget.
