From a blue stater to red staters
John Stewart said last week that being in New York he clearly knew nothing about terrorism and he was glad that the red staters were there to tell him about it….

Bombings
OMFG! What the hell is wrong with people? Bombing trains? While we don’t know who has done this (the fact only first class cars were targeted leaves open the possibility of some sort of pseudo-Naxalite movement), I must say even I am inclined to believe that this is the work of some members of the Cult of Bin Laden – who, like the members of the Seas of David, have heard enough about the Qur’an to consider themselves Muslim. This is a horrible tragedy, and I pray for the deceased, and that the perpetrators truly understand God’s Justice. Technorati Tags:…

I’ll have to stop reading this blog if you lead me into agreeing with the likes of Juan Cole. : (
Seriously though, I think Cole could have made his point without the reference to the Taliban and Islamists — seems gratuitous to me. Like we don’t have enough trouble. Nice, acceptable secular examples would have sufficed.
Don’t misunderstand me — I think the Congress egregiously overreached here and I’ve already sent email to the two Democratic congressmen In Maryland that voted in favor of this travesty (both from perfectly safe seats, but what the hey!).
