Please add me to the Steyn Pinglist...please!

If you want to know what a multicultural society looks like, read the names of America's dead on September 11: Arestegui, Bolourchi, Carstanjen, Droz, Elseth, Foti, Gronlund, Hannafin, Iskyan, Kuge, Laychak, Mojica, Nguyen, Ong, Pappalardo, Quigley, Retic, Shuyin, Tarrou, Vamsikrishna, Warchola, Yuguang, Zarba. Black, white, Hispanic, Arab, Indian, Chinese - in a word, American.

I wish I had 1% of this man's wit.

You and me both. I wouldn't mind 1% of his brains, either. :)

And thank you for the ping, Pokey.

Typical French attitude towards everyone except terrorists:

"I fart in your general direction!"

"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!"

Interesting....by the same logic Latin American immigration may be defusing our historic black-white issues.

If France collapses, it is likely the mess will wash onto Britain's shores. I love my country, but I need a future too. If that is what occurs, I have no choice but to leave.

God, that's great:

I love the way those naysayers predicting doom and gloom in Baghdad scoff that Iraq's a totally artificial entity and that, without some Saddamite strongman, Kurds, Sunnis and Shias can't co-exist in the same state. Oh, really? If Iraq's an entirely artificial entity, what do you call a state split between gay drugged-up red-light whatever's-your-bag Dutchmen and anti-gay anti-whoring anti-everything-you-dig Muslims?

Tom McClintock wrote a piece that was posted here about the California Special Election that nailed it on the head.

Do you happen to have a link?

After this morning when I heard them say that 362 cars burned last night but that's actually good news because that's the number that burn on an average night, I knew something was very, very wrong. Well, I knew it before, but that was still a surprise.

Do they really think that war and rumours of war don't spread if the news stations don't tell people? What do they think people did BEFORE news stations or when the news stations get blacked out by the invaders. What simpering fools. The only difference is that the news people get is misty, distorted, often incorrect. Maybe it's not so different. Actually the rumors are probably to the other extreme, making it sound WORSE than it really is.

As Jean-Claude Dassier, director-general of the French news station LCI, told a broadcasters' conference in Amsterdam, he has been playing down the riots on the following grounds: "Politics in France is heading to the Right and I don't want Right-wing politicians back in second or even first place because we showed burning cars on television."

Hey! That's not fair! The French press gets to admit their left wing bias.

I agree with your sentiments, God, he's good. He is the edgiest writer going now, and my favorite I think.

Coulter is about the same every week. The rest ignore the elephant in the living room, as do the politicians and the so-called conservative media.

I'm reduced to listening to Savage on the radio because the others are sheep and Savage tells it like it is even if he is an id10t a lot of the time. We have a couple of decent local guys, Dan Patrick, and Edd Hendee who don't waste time and talk about real issues, but they're mostly state (Texas) and local (Houston).

France deserves to be Doomed.

France going down may save our butts, i.e., wake us up. I can't say I want them to FALL, what with the nukes and all, but I'm not exactly dismayed by their problems right now. Besides, que sera, sera.

Unfortunately no. A search on his name should do it though . . .

"Interesting....by the same logic Latin American immigration may be defusing our historic black-white issues."

It is in some respects, and will continue as the Hispanic population increases. One example, Black Americans poll out about the same as white americans on the issue of illegal immigration.
