Did you hear about the "SUV" that ran over about a dozen people out in San Francisco? I was listening to talk radio when it happened last night & the host (Savage) was asking, "How much anybody wanted to bet that by the morning new shows the story would be about: 1. The dangerous SUV, 2. Speculation about the mental stability of the driver, and that 3. No mention would be made of the fact that the driver's name would make it seem that he were a Muslim.
Sure enough, I'm watching Fox New this morning, and the Radio Host was right on all points.
This same type of vehicular assault by a Muslim driver happened at Duke University a few months back. I don't believe that anyone working in a major newsroom wouldn't remember that incident.
It's like we are fighting the war blindfolded.

I sure did. It kind of reminds me of a joke by a comedian (Seinfeld?) where someone is trying to describe a mugger while being politically correct. I hadn't considered the speculation about the safety of SUV's being a talking point. But I was sure his mental stability would come into play. But, indeed, at least with some sidewalk drivers, there is a question of craziness or drunkenness. I don't recall the Duke incident offhand.

And that's the way some like it!
