Meanwhile, six arrests have been made in the London terror probe—including one this morning that, in the run-up, forced the evacuation of an area of Birmingham. Not surprisingly, at least one of the terrorists, Yasin Hassan Omar, was living on the dole—his anti-western jihad, which his neighbors say was no secret (right after 911, he told a local shopkeeper that he was a supporter of Usama Bin Laden) fully subsidized

The kind of observation one feels free to make before he’s had his coffee, which is what he relies upon to kickstart whatever it is that controls the social graces
That Jared guy from the Subway™ commercials? Dude looked a whole lot better as a great big jolly fat man, if you ask me. Must be something about knowing you can eat a bucket of chicken and an entire Boston cream pie and it won’t make a bit of difference that gives the big person that special contented glow. I envy that.
A potential break in the Natalee Holloway case? One CITIZEN JOURNALIST thinks we may be on the verge of an important revelation
I haven’t been able to corroborate this just yet, but from what I’m hearing, there’s a good chance Natalee Holloway is in Miami, FL, dancing under the name “Krystal Champagne” at Big Mac’s Foxy Lady Lounge, 1800 Nw 79th St. If anybody’d care to drop $600 into my tip jar, I’m happy to follow up on the lead. And if you could somehow figure out a way to give me

Future scenes from the upcoming Congressional committee hearings into “Plamegate”
First Senator: “Uh huh. And this Joe Wilson fella is who again –?”* Second Senator: “—Hey, can he say ‘Wilson’? Because if not, I would like to register a strenuous objection to my esteemed colleague’s flagrant disregard for the national security of this great nation.”* **** Lots more here; and for additional Nadagate analysis, see Tom Maguire, Mark Kleiman, and The Daily Howler.
Policing the rubicon
Confederate Yankee addresses the second guessers (the majority of whom are non-British) of Operation Kratos, the London police policy of using head shots to kill suspected suicide bombers in an effort to save civilian lives—and he does so by detailing exactly how suicide bombings work, and why the London policy is more than simply appropriate, it is necessary: “Jihad for Dummies: A Non-technical primer” Personally, provided I’m convinced the police
From the “if Howard Dean didn’t exist, Republicans would be forced to invent him” file
From Townhall, this amusing bit from Howard Dean’s DNC Magic Misery Tour: After asking the students to donate money to the Democratic National Committee, [DNC Chair Howard] Dean said “one of the biggest problems in this culture of corruption that the Republicans brought to Washington, is they sold our government to the highest bidder. “If we want it back, we’ll have to buy it back,” Dean said. He also said
Why Rhetoric Matters, redux: a few closing thoughts
Will Femia of MSNBC’s Clicked links to my piece criticizing western leaders and media sources who provide rhetorical cover for terrorists, an argument prompted by London bomber Shehzad Tanweer’s purported admission to a cousin that “the abuse of Muslim prisoners in Guantanamo Bay” calls for “violent retaliation.” Muses Femia: Here at MSNBC.com we get letters about how talking about terrorists too much actually encourages them.

Has anyone else ever had that dream where Gene Wilder shows up in your bedroom in his Wonka hat and suit and warns you to submit to the will of Allah or else suffer the sword, then—to punctuate his point—slices off the head of a doped up Oompa Loompa and holds it aloft while his little friend Charlie hums “I Want It Now” and videotapes the whole thing…?
Or am I just reading too much WorldNetDaily before bed…?
