POPSFascism at Home Means Fascism Abroad Shame on all those media outlets that have been complicit in this dirty lie all last week. And shame also on our pathetic secretary of state, who said that she hoped that “the genuine will and desire” of the people of Iran would be reflected in the outcome. Surely she knows that any such contingency was deliberately forestalled to begin with. Earlier this year, I spent a week with Hitchens in Lebanon, and at one point he wandered off to attend a Hezbollah rally in the suburbs south of Beirut. I thought I had seen enough Hezbollah rallies over the last couple of years and could hardly stand the thought of sitting through yet another one of those bigoted scream fests. I wish now that I had gone, though, because Hitchens witnessed an alarming escalation.

POPSObama Revisionism, Adams and Jefferson, Friends of Islam . . . hostility to religion. Still, as usual, it's fascinating, especially this bit of history that Obama somehow failed to mention this morning when revisiting (or I should say, revisioning) Adams, Jefferson, and that oh-so-warm relationship between the Morocco and the fledgling United States: I believe on the evidence that it was at this moment that Jefferson decided to make war on the Muslim states of North Africa as soon as the opportunity presented itself. And, even if I am wrong, we can be sure that the dispatch of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps to the Barbary shore was the first and most important act of his presidency. It took several years of bombardment before the practice of kidnap and piracy and slavery was put down, but put down it was, Quranic justification or not.

POPSHitchens on Palin and Science No comment needed. Hitchins says it all at the source. The poor woman is going to wake up after this and find her world shattered. No True Alaskan Man is going to put up with comments that his woman doesn't listen to him. Mark my words.

POPSREJOICE! http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/gate/archive/2007/05/23/notes052307.DTL&nl=fix If this doesn't sum up the ROSE COLORED GLASSES phenomena of...THE AMERICA (mostly republican) WAY OF LIFE, NOTHING WILL! Mark Morford, in his scandalously funny, farcical style epitomizes what we have all witnessed in the last 60 years, give or take a year or two. Thank you Mark, for making me realize once again... I AM NOT TOTALLY NUTS, I just am made to believe I am because I THINK! A real handicap in this greedy, glutinous corporate world! http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com
