Look!  Unicorns and bunnies eating neapolitan banana splits on clouds made from spun sugar!  Under a delicious lollipop rainbow! Quick! Somebody fetch the river dancing midgets.  And the hookers.

British citizens donating to “charities” that in turn fund terror attacks aimed at British citizens.  “Photojournalists” and “aid workers” digging up bodies to stage propaganda credulously lapped up by a western press.  The UN passing cease fire resolutions that have the effect of recognizing Hizbullah as a state-like actor.  The AP playing apologist for a new Hizballah superhero. What’s next—Al Franken taking up arms against the Santa Monica Hillel?  Jackie

From The Times Online: Security sources believe that a man arrested in last week’s anti- terror raids in Britain is Al-Qaeda’s leader in this country.

“You know what really irks me, counterculture icon Billy Jack? The fact that there are those who still question my ‘authenticity’ as a Black man. This despite the color of my skin — a burden with which I was born and, through hard work and some Great Society mau-mauing, I have since overcome in this, your Benighted States of America. Then there’s the inconvenient fact that my father was a
