Blowback

Scores dead, hundreds wounded. Probably just some jihadis upset over Kyoto stalemates and subprime lending. Or Maybe Bhutto was caught reading “My Pet Goat” while the Towers fell. So difficult to tell sometimes what sets these folks off. **** Michelle Malkin has more.

"Neal Boortz and Susan Estrich Debate Randi Rhodes Incident" (UPDATED)

Video here, courtesy STACLU. Incidentally, Steve Green and I talked about this very thing on next week’s Pajamas Media XM radio show (not sure when it airs, to be honest).

I’ve sprayed the area and pulled the weeds twice this summer — it’s a considerable stretch, but nothing
