No More Mr. Nice Guy


Unlike every other white-boy pundit, I?m no Islamic scholar, but given that, as I understand it, during the holy month of Ramadan Muslims are expected to live in simple fashion, it?s hard to see in what way taking out the water lines, the food warehouses, the electric supply, etc., is disrespectful. Quite the contrary, one would have thought: Happy Holidays from the Great Satan!

and

But where are the American Civil Liberties Union lawsuits when you need them? If B52s taking Ramadan off isn?t in breach of the separation of Church and State, what is? As Joshua Micah Marshall put it in a droll commentary, ?Some of my conservative friends must be wondering something like this right about now: if we wanted a war fought from the air, with strategy dictated by politics and not the military, we might as well have given Bill Clinton a third term.?

Though it's a little early in the morning for it out here in La La land, our compatriots in Europe might want to enjoy it with a little snifter of fine cognac.
