As one might expect, the push to remarry hasn't gone over well with traditionalists who see it as taboo.

Mohammed's first wife Khadijah was a widow two times over. She was a rich, 40 year old merchant, and he was her 25 year old employee.

they should give him a second prize to match the first, because that will be a blessing not just for Afghans but also for the region and for the world.

In SoCal, we have many fine private universities, for people who can afford them. For people who can't afford them, we have a public option.

It doesn't harm Caltech or USC for UCLA to exist.

If it works for education, then why all the paranoia over health care?

Sometimes not being able to recognize social signals when you're a little girl is a blessing.

It's a mixed blessing, to be sure, but it does allow you to ignore the various messages out there and concentrate on what you want to be compared with what other people think you ought to be.

The magazine has been floundering with competition from Maxim etc. This is a brilliant move on their part to reclaim their territory as something more than just a place to spy on naked female boobies and heinies.

The mansion crowd is rich in comedy types. Looks like Hef is finally making use of his comedy assets.

I was paying attention to the Taliban because I was in the Feminist Majority and I participated in the public education campaign run by Mavis Leno.

While they were in power, the Taliban committed atrocities against Afghan women that were unprecedented in Afghan history.

And that's saying a lot, because Afghanistan contains a large tribal population and tribal ways are traditionally harsh towards women.

Taliban atrocities were not tribalism in action. They were sociopathy in action.

The Taliban committed genocide, and they found brides for their soldiers by murdering the parents of young girls and handing the girls over to be raped and then married off.

Those are not traditional tribal ways. Those were the actions of sociopaths.

They ran training camps instructing terrorists in how to maim and kill innocent civilians.

Again -- that's not traditional Pushtun tribalism. That's sociopathy in action.

They might as well be Nazis, that's how evil and sociopathic they are.

I had to learn about their atrocities in order to explain them to the public and lobby Congress to pay attention to the part where they were training terrorists.

It left a deep, deep scar in my heart -- so deep that these pictures Glenn has provided can barely touch it.

This is nothing, Glenn, to what the Taliban is going to do if they're allowed to get back in power.

You think Kate Harding hates Roman Polanski?

That's puppy love compared to how I feel about the Taliban.

He can still make me tingle all over from the way he manages to combine cool nerdly reason with loving compassion and pride in his country.

If we decided to leave Afghanistan now, then Afghanistan would be back in operation as a terrorist haven within two years.

If we decide to leave Afghanistan only when al Qaeda has been rooted out, then all the Taliban have to do is send their local al Qaeda operatives somewhere else until the Americans leave.

If we don't beat the Taliban, then that's what's going to happen.

Right now the Taliban are promising not to target our country for terrorist attacks if they take over the country again.

The Taliban are genocidal child-raping sociopaths.

Any promises made by sociopaths are best ignored.

Obama is about to do something so colossally stupid that the Prize will be seen as a mistake as soon as he does it.

Obama is going to tell al Qaeda that America is only in Afghanistan to get them.

If I were al Qaeda, I'd know exactly what to do next: PRETEND to leave Afghanistan, so the Americans will pull out their troops.

Once the Americans have gone, then all al Qaeda has to do is wait for the Taliban to take Kabul and torture Karzai to death and hang his mutilated body in the center of Kabul, like our mujahedin did with Najibullah.

Once Karzai's mutilated body is hanging from a lamp post in Kabul, al Qaeda can just come right back to Afghanistan and go back to what they were doing when we interrupted them so rudely after 9/11.

This Nobel Prize is definitely premature.
