C'mon, be fair. Those people were probably WISHING they could boo. The AP guy just picked up on that. We pay them to be that discerning.

Well if the AP can read minds, why can't Billmore - kill them all . . .

Fair enough.

But I still can't help with your GI problem. It's knowledge I lack. If I knew of any remedies that could help, I'd share.

Be careful. You're channeling Kerry now.

Go fuck yourself.

No, I think it's Cheney. But we digress. Let's leave this one be for the day, shall we?

Yup, that Eric Rudolph made one heck of a bundt cake. And I'm sure that he didn't get any help from the fine church-going folk of Western North Carolina (at least those who thought that abortion clinics, gay night clubs, and the Olympics were fair targets for bombs) while he was "camping" in the Nantahala National Forest.

I think its pretty well established that Rudolph spent some time indoors, sheltering in basements and outbuildings of some unnamed folks.

P.S. We don't need to kill the sympathizers, though, until the activists do something big. (More to the point, we're not quite so comfortable advocating extermination with a magical nuke of those whose beliefs are not _so_ far away from one end of our American political mainstream.)

Would I like my magical nuke to get the clinic bombers, too? Sure.

Am I dismayed that you, too, entirely missed the point of my reply to Pony? Sure.

Given so many whiffs, I have to entertain the possibility that I just write poorly.

The Attackers in No Way Represent True Islam and We Must Disown Them

Abd Al-Rahman Al-Rashed, former editor of the London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, wrote in the daily under the title "The Painful Truth is that All of the Terrorists are Muslims:"

" Obviously not all Muslims are terrorists but, regrettably, the majority of the terrorists in the world are Muslims. The kidnappers of the students in Ossetia are Muslims. The kidnappers and killers of the Nepalese workers and cooks are also Muslims. Those who rape and murder in Darfour are Muslims, and their victims are Muslims as well. Those who blew up the residential complexes in Riyadh and Al-Khobar are Muslims. Those who kidnapped the two French journalists are Muslims. The two [women] who blew up the two planes [over Russia] a week ago are Muslims. Bin Laden is a Muslim and Al-Houthi [the head of a terrorist group in Yemen] is a Muslim. The majority of those who carried out suicide operations against buses, schools, houses, and buildings around the world in the last ten years are also Muslims.

"What a terrible record. Does this not say something about us, about our society and our culture? If we put all of these pictures together in one day, we will see that these pictures are difficult, embarrassing, and humiliating for us. However, instead of avoiding them and justifying them it is incumbent upon us first of all to recognize their authenticity rather than to compose eloquent articles and speeches proclaiming our innocence…

"Islam has suffered an injustice at the hands of the new Muslims… We will only be able to clear our reputation once we have admitted the clear and shameful fact that most of the terrorist acts in the world today are carried out by Muslims. We have to realize that we cannot correct the condition of our youth who carry out these disgraceful operations until we have treated the minds of our sheikhs who have turned themselves into pulpit revolutionaries who send the children of others to fight while they send their own children to European schools."

I'd say you write well, but build loads of assumptions in. If your readers miss, or don't share, those then we misunderstand.

What about those who quietly sit back and support those clinic bombers' activities, or lend the fugitives aid? Or who would quietly be pleased if there was a Christian fundamentalist theocracy established in the United States?

P.S. I think you want your magic nuke to get them, too, which puts to rest any charge of racism. You, sir, are a fanaticist -- with an unreasoning hatred of violent nuts of all types and those who support them.

Dude, don't you know anything? It's OK for him to say it -- he's a Muslim TOO.

I can't let this sentence go uncorrected. It's either

Or whom would quietly be pleased if there were a Christian fundamentalist theocracy established in the United States?

or

Or whom is quietly pleased that there is a Christian fundamentalist theocracy established in the United States?

Not surprisingly to some, I'm leaning toward the second one.

This is from Cheney today:

"It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States," Cheney told about 350 supporters at a town-hall meeting in this Iowa city.

This is the first thing I have seen on the GOP side that has crossed the line, but I think what he is saying implicitly is ridiculous.

"Everybody told me, 'God, if you're coming to Canonsburg, you've got to find time to go to Toy's, and he'll take care of you,'" Mr. Kerry said, dropping the name of a restaurant his motorcade had passed on the way in. "I understand it's my kind of place, because you don't have to - you know, when they give you the menu, I'm always struggling: Ah, what do you want?

"He just gives you what he's got, right?" Mr. Kerry added, continuing steadily off a gangplank of his own making: "And you don't have to worry, it's whatever he's cooked up that day. And I think that's the way it ought to work, for confused people like me who can't make up our minds."
