"Every one deserves a chance ." ;D (Apologies to the kids)

Maybe we should send 'em all an X-Box, paintball pellets , and some seed catalogs . Celery-o , you have any spares ?

( Wormwood huh? Which one ? & the goats can even eat that? Careful, you might have the Revenoo-ers coming down to sell ya' stamps for your milk and cheese)

Maybe a new hobby could change their outlook, and take up some of their scaremonger time? (See Stephen Jay Gould's essay on search patterns ) Kinda like chocolate-covered broccoli . So good, they won't notice it's good for 'em .

Recently, some gene-splicing types came out with a study suggesting that there's genetic basis , maybe even "need" for the "Us vs Them" / tribal behavior . Perhaps some, as with allergies, or taste in food, are more prone to it than others .That would correlate with the gray vs black/white findings . Would be an interesting thing to test. Has anyone ever desconstructed the language of paranoia to it's universal basics ? (Or figure if that exists ?) I think some of the psycho-sexual analysis here, on this topic is a bit of a stretch .

On a sort of related topic, saw "Letters From Iwo Jima" last night. What were O'Reilly & Co. bitchin' about , when it first came out ? The humanization of THE ENEMY?

LWM , if you're still reading , check out The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) . http://memri.org/index.html

It translates ME media to English. Might find what you're looking for there . If not , you'll find something to make the trip worthwhile .

Kasmira , "FauxMica"? =))))

Good Celery , "pink baby muffins with peanuts"? ;D Was once mistakenly served a peanut butter/ sardine sandwich . ( in Horseheads, NY)

Was wondering same . Didn't find anything . I took disconnect as a sign to get some sleep , so didn't get a chance to ask him . Here's the site, if you ever get the itch to beat your head against the wall . ;D I inadvertently clicked it , so as I was already there had to put in my 2c.

I read it online sometimes . Seems better than most . Have a comment section after each story , so wingnut/moonbat conversation is possible. ( We here are the "moonbats" , in case you missed it . ;D)

Not that familiar with him, so not sure how to take this, re NIU shooting . Searching, and not finding the right word, or something else ? (Just seemed a bit of odd phrasing..*shrug*)

"...unfortunately, we’re so hedged in with various restrictions on that, the people can be, in effect, as weird as they want to be, and it’s still not possible to remove them from the classroom..."

Oh yeah , almost forgot , the UK has been "hollowed out by Islamism", and we're blind . ;D

Sleeps With Lions , reread it , and also Glenn's response to the same charge from another corner . Not saying there's no danger, but that it's overblown in both severity, and in it's supposed unprecedentedness.

Good Celery, oncologists - a good thing? Usually, esp if ya got cancer, but depends on the good Doc herhimself. One I know is the cheapest person on the planet . Prefers Cheap Celery to Good Celery, in everything, even though it's a house of treasures. Usually makes for bad soup in the garden , no matter how many green thumbs I lend her.

bucky,Pauliac, ondelette , thanks for Sufi,Nasrudan, and Pakistan . Good stuff. ;D

Dirigo , I'm a couple stone throws from the St Po-leeece Lab, so I'll grab your samples before it gets there . ;D (Bloomberg's goin' nuts . Glad I have some Two-Stones-For-Every-Dirt territory between him & me . ;D )

adnoto, yes there is a certain element of "conquer the beast" to this, but it is real . Doing anything? Yes , writing and calling, and engaging True Believers on their blog-turf , trying to get through. If you look back in previous comments sections , you'll see it from many .Imagine that there's a lot of work unmentioned as well. As Derbig Mooser suggested , other means would be abhorrent, and at least as bad as what they attempt to cure .

Holly, I read Bees first post as if "them" = the WARRIORS , and GG & others will pop their bubbles & expose 'em , although the tone seems to go the other way . ????

Re: Kristol . I normally don't read him . Now I remember why . Other than the irony of it all, and the over-filled, sky-high-falling-off-the-truck level of bs , this it what stood out for me :

"The director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Gen. Michael Hayden, the director of national intelligence, the retired Vice Admiral Mike McConnell, and the attorney general, the former federal judge Michael Mukasey, are highly respected and nonpolitical officials... "

Non-political?!!! The Bush Administration doesn't do non-political . That, in of itself, would be political to them. An apolitical person might be prone to choose facts, pragmatism, or principle over ideology . If they were non-political they wouldn't get the job .

Here's some paranoic comedy I ran across , courtesy of Arlene Peck . (Seems to know a lot of FOX guests . Quelle suprise!) This is just a (tame) sample . There's lots more where that came from . (Talks about Bush in the same way that the RWers talk about appeaser-Democrats. =))))

....It usually takes a lot to keep me quiet but with this crowd I was awed. Three days of listening wasn’t enough. Unfortunately, more of the mainstream aren’t listening or worse, not caring about this war with blood thirsty degenerates.

One of the speakers and best selling author, Dr. Harvey Kushner and adviser to the FBI and FAA spoke of Radicals’ Islam’s infiltrating America. Folks, like roaches they are everywhere and we are losing this war. Dr. Kushner detailed how the United States continues to be infiltrated by terrorists ..."
