Radical Islam's ability to spit issue as it does is a great mystery. From one angle, so many of them clearly very desperately need to get laid. From another, it seems impossible to impregnate anything when you only physically interact with it to deliver it ritual beatings, maimings and, when it sasses you back, an "honor killing." Still, they seem to get the job done. You wonder when they have the time.

My theory is it's during the hours the rest of the world reads.

How does radical Islam feel about evolution?

They listened, then cried "islamophobia", blamed the Jews and beheaded a few infidels.

Fine until the 13th Century.

The Creation Museum in Kentucky opened over the weekend:

• Some exhibits show dinosaurs aboard Noah's Ark and assert that all animals were vegetarians until Adam committed the first sin in the Garden of Eden.

I think it's time that we let Hollywood weigh in on this important debate. If we see velociraptors crawling onboard the Ark in Evan Almighty, -- and deciding (by nothing short of the Will of God) not to devour everything else on board -- then I'm willing to buy it.

Ummmmmmm, I think the Ark was after Adam sinned. And the velociraptors probably ate all the other stuff that's now extinct. Which is WHY it's extinct. Because God's plan called for the velociraptor to eat those particular animals.

Jez.

Now, now, Fringey. Attentive attendees at the museum learned that dinosaurs were on the Ark. Maybe it was God's plan also to have the velociraptor be there on the Ark too, and somehow decide not to feast for 40 days and 40 nights.

They were on there a lot longer than that. After it stopped raining, it took 150 days for the water to subside to the point that the Ark could come to rest on Mt. Ararat. It was another 77 days until the dove came back carrying the olive branch in its beak. They were on that freaking Ark for 9 months. And all they got was a stupid rainbow.

No, the velociraptors ate -- they just only ate the animals that are now extinct. So, like, the woolly mammoths checked into the Ark Motel . . . but they didn't check out. Um, and then the velociraptors died out too. Shifty may be able to help with that. Maybe one of them ate the other, and the remaining one died of old age.

It all makes so much sense now. God has a plan for everything!

1. I used to throw the "flypaper" (we went to Iraq to move the front in the "war with radical Islam" over there) argument around, but even I wasn't sure that level of cynicism existed in our foreign policy. Lately, people have been using it a lot, as both praise and criticism for the war. I wonder why when I raised it early people told me I was nuts. While that's true, I'm occasionally right.

You shouldn't feel vindicated. It's just that as the war drags on, more and more people are willing to embrace more and more hare-brained post hoc rationalizations for it.

The Unicorn (written by Shel Silverstein and performed by the Irish Rovers)

A long time ago, when the Earth was green
There was more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the Earth was being born
And the loveliest of all was the unicorn

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn

The Lord seen some sinning and it gave Him pain
And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He says, "Hey Brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo,
and take some of those...

Green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
Don't you forget My unicorns."

Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall
He marched the animals two by two
And he called out as they came through
"Hey Lord,

I've got green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn
I just can't find no unicorns"

And Noah looked out through the driving rain
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was falling
Oh, them silly unicorns

There was green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, "Close the door because the rain is falling
And we just can't wait for no unicorns"

The ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away
That's why you never see unicorns to this very day

You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
You're never gonna see no unicorns.

Until recently (when every other justification turns out to be wrong and things are going in the shitter) have people less cynical than you been willing to admit to this sort of thinking.

But really, the response is what Shifty said.

Hey - can I call it a "quagmire" yet? A couple of years ago you gave me shit for that. Just checking.
