Hope the devils are sharpening their pitchforks. The world is a slightly better place.

Bump; ping.
The 300 firemen who died on September 11th died in part for their fellow New Yorker Edward Said, though he is too stupid and graceless to understand.
One down, two to go.

Edward Said died? Well that is great news! One less American-hating, anti-semite professor!

He will not be missed. That leaves Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak as the most dismal remaining member of the Columbia English department.

How sad. He'll be greatly missed... Where can I go to piss on his grave?

It's a generally good rule not to speak ill of the dead. I wish Professor Said had observed it in the days after September 11th when his almost every utterance was an insult to his fellow New Yorkers vaporized a few blocks from his ivory tower.

To paraphrase Cicero, we come here today to bury Edward Said, not to praise him. The good that man does lies intered with his bones, the evil they do survives them.
Said's will live on until the Islamofascists are scattered and another threat to civilization has taken their place.

I listened to a really nice Bach cantata on KPFA Berkeley (the west coast Pacifica organ) this morning, and when it was over the woman who played it abruptly ended my enjoyment by declaring that she dedicated the piece to "Edward Said, who, unfortunately is not among us any more." He had a lot of fans at RadioTaliban. Even from the grave he insults Western civilization.

He was a hugely influential academic, who found a way to make the institutional "counter-tribalism" (in John O'Sullivan's phrase) of America's elites pay off for him big time. His bestselling Orientalism is a deeply disingenuous work riddled with factual errors and with a selectivity of focus that negates its main claim. But it remains a stunningly successful example of how to parlay western self-loathing into bestseller status. Bumpity, bump, bump, bump.

Edward Said was a parasite on the West, one filled with poison for his hosts. He will NOT be missed!
