Mumbai, the NYT's revisionism, and lessons not learned

The Times' Editorial Page blames the Bush administration for "blessing" the military coup against Hugo Chavez without mentioning that it did the same. Why does that matter?

    Zoltan?? hahaha

    I'm back from a gruelling experience of fixing a computer that had a horrible series of trojans and viruses (viri?) and it took killing the beasties with a complete reinstall to rid the machine of them. Just in time to meet our new whackjob, Zoltan. Whatever

    I think we are "selective" about our "outrage" because there is so much to be outraged about. It's kind of like coming home after a tornado and your house is in shambles. You can only tackle a few things at a time, in order of importance: clean up a bathroom, clear out the kitchen, clear out a bedroom. Later, you can get to the rest of the rooms.

    As one commentor noted: "Defending Paul Wolfowitz on any level is just plain moronic and misinformed."

    Seriously. What a douchebag.

    The reason Zoltan can't go to Faux News with his silly-azz free-style stream-of-consciousness babble is because the idiots at the Faux sites won't even bother to try and read it. At least some here may have given it a whirl. I consider myself a bit of a poet, so I was willing to try and make the connections.

    After which, I decided it was mumbo-jumbo.

    Ignoring him is the best option.

    Meanwhile, I smell a rat with the ISI's refusal to cooperate with the Mubai disaster. Hmmm. Anyone else see the connection here? Remember, the ISI had a hand in 9/11.

    Ahhh, yes. The plot thickens.
