Being insightful as I throw stones
Somehow I stumbled across this book The Enemy At Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11 on Amazon and it provoked two thoughts.
- First I thought of Eric Hoffer’s adage, to wit, Americans can only hate Americans, they consider foreigners to be inferiors and feel sorry for them. That would make this book a sign of health, albeit an ugly one.
- Then I thought of the South Park episode “The Mystery of the Urinal Deuce” and the lines:
Kyle: So who was responsible for 9-11?
Stan: A bunch of pissed off Muslims. What are you, retarded!?

Atlanta cop update
See Report: Lies involved in no-knock warrant and Town hall meeting to discuss “no-knock” warrants. The systems seems to be working, albeit quite slowly. I’d assumed that since this feel out of the news for a month that it was being covered up, it’s nice to see that I might be wrong about that.

Cop wounded in drug raid that killed woman to retire
Curiously, the name of the APD spokesman is James Polite, which is just kind of eerie. If that’s your name, are you destined for some kind of PR occupation?

A lonely Monday post
I spend all day today debugging, which is also how I spend the early morning hours after I got home last night. It’s been a strange day. There has been very little email and phone contact today. Combine that with the weather and listening to quiet singer-songwriter music and the day has a rare seamless quality.
Your link for the day is It’s time for a new International Brigade, which is about private armies and the crisis in Darfur.

Perfectly put
Don put it very well in his open letter to Lou Dobbs. Why he’s taken more seriously than Bill O’Reilly or Cynthia McKinney I’ll never know.
