The New Crusade

[Occhidiangela]

And you get reactions from people like; ...and Catholic churches are firebombed in Gaza and the West Bank. I just get worried when the tinder is so dry that a spark like a Danish Cartoon, or a reference to a conversation from 600 years ago can ignite WW4. I also came upon another interesting site, JihadWatch.Org, in my research here.

Definition of the Modern Middle Eastern Muslim:

Fool walking around with a chip on his shoulder, waiting for an excuse to riot over the slightest perception of offense, unaware that he is being cynically manipulated by a rather small cadre of symbol and spin mongers. (Hmmm, that definition fits abortion clinic bombers to a T, and certain rogues who lay in wait for eurotrash. :P )

Mohamed would roll over in his grave. Well, at least he'd have the 72 vrgins roll him over, in the clover, roll me over lay me down and do it again . . . except they never did it in the first place, since they are still virgins. :blink:

I note that some of the old jokes about Iran being turned to glass have been making the rounds again, with the new feature being that holders of public office and "serious columnists" like Krauthammer (that name is either a Bavarian or Yiddish dialect slang term for "shil" can't trace the etymology) are making them, rather than political cartoonists.

"Let's do the Time Warp again!."

The recycling Reagan era witicisms is encouraging, however, as it means we might get a return of Joe Piscopo and Eddie Murphy on SNL. That might be a good thing. We also might see a Timbuck Three reunion tour.

If I may misquote Raoul Duke: "My advice to you is to start drinking heavily."
