Dear Mr. President:
I received a letter from my little boy – who lives with me but prefers to use the U.S. Postal Service for standard communication – stating categorically we do not have enough money for the purchase of Star Wars Lego and other necessities. While he didn’t state categorically this was affecting his health, [...]
As far as the Taliban is concerned, the Bamiyan Buddhas were worthless trash from the jahiliyya period of Afghanistan — the time of pre-Islamic ignorance. “Japan offered to hide Bamiyan statues, but Taliban asked Japan to convert to Islam instead,” from Japan Today, February 27 (thanks to Twostellas): WASHINGTON –…
Projection, conspiracy paranoia, bloodlust — it’s all here. “Evil Zionists Manufacture Super Mini-Gun to Kill Arabs,” from Translating Jihad, February 25 — translating “A Call to All Arab Intelligence Services to Kill the Head of Mossad Meir Dagan,” by As’ad Ambeh in Gaza’s al-Watan Voice, February 25: [...] I begin…

Two pirate captains, Barbossa and Jack Sparrow, battle against each other to gain power by the use of dirty tricks. Even the Royal Navy, who you would think to be the good guys, sink to the use of treachery. Moreover, [...]
