OOOOooo! A “George W. Bush is a farsighted genius blog!” I thought they were extinct! I guess that 27% of the population need SOMETHING to read.

If you want to break your heart: Ghaith Abdul-Ahad’s “Five Years in Iraq” series for the Guardian. Title page includes new plus older pieces from him.

Digression: caves in the Muslim narrative have a resonance different from ours. We may associate caves with Neanderthals, but many a Muslim intuitively understand that it was from a cave that Mohammed received not only revelations (The Night of Power) but went on to conquer by sword much of the world.

Yeah, you gotta give that to the judeo-christian narrative. Not a lot of hiding in caves going on.

But our civilization and its values may not have the time if we cave in to the Paul Krugmans of the world.

Fight the real enemy! *tears up picture of Krugman*

Mr Krugman might want to consult his colleague Tom Friedman about the technologies available to students in Islamabad or miscreants in caves.

Cripes, why bother?

Cut out the middleman, go right to the source and talk to a cabbie in Islamabad about it. He’ll tell you all you need to know, including the lame-ass metaphor you can use for the book you’ll write based on that 5 minute conversation.

Someone must explain to Mr. Silver that it’s not that we are sufferfing from CIPA…it’s simply that Mr. Silver is a hypocondriac.

Maybe Hollywood John McCain is keeping him quiet before picking him as a running mate.

What ever happened to the right-wing prejudice against actors spouting off their opinions? Those were the days…

Somebody please tell Mr. Silver:

Writing a 2,800 word ramble to say little more than “Aiee, we’re all going to die!” doesn’t make you a deep thinker.

Good catch, tbogg! I don’t watch much teevee, but now I put Ron on my “No Watch List.”

Whatta fucking dipshit tool asswipe.

OMG. The brown people are coming to get us!!! Get under the table and do not come out until W has killed them all and saved the human race!!!
What a major douchebag Silver has become. How much you wanna bet he gets a prominent “Prime Time” speech at the Repug Convention. It’s all they’ve got, apparently.

By the way, when did he lose the Anton Chigurh hair?

Apparently Mr. Krugman and many others have no fear that a couple of guys in caves with access to computers represent an existential threat to the way we live.

Err….. yeah, that’s pretty much how we feel. You do know what “existential threat” means, don’t you? Oh……… never mind, then.

Shorter Ron Silver: There’s just not enough fear mongering going around these days.

Ron has a lot of stock in Depends. He is trying to get the stock prices up by making all of us pissy-pants scared.

Waaah! Fuck Ron Silver!

Sorry, I’ve had this Dick Cheney thing stuck in my head all day. Damn you, Jon Stewart.

“Apparently Mr. Krugman and many others have no fear that a couple of guys in caves with access to computers represent an existential threat to the way we live.”

Um. No.

It’s your commander-and-chief who adopts that attitude, as well as a whos-who of overall-soiling wingnuts on the PW blogroll whenever someone has the audacity to ask “Where the fuck is Bin-Laden?”

darthvegas: “OOOOooo! A “George W. Bush is a farsighted genius blog!” I thought they were extinct! I guess that 27% of the population need SOMETHING to read.”

I still don’t believe that 27% of the population can read. How do they write, you ask? Well, monkeys banging on typewriters would produce more readable text.
