More Steyn? Well, my goodness, this man is amazingly prolific these days, isn't he? (Hope he's raking in the big bucks). Ping, bump, etc., etc., etc!!!! Thanks Pokey.

[Tacis]

You know, I never thought about it before, but, just as AIDS is God's response to homosexuality, isn't the WTC attack God's response to New Yorkers electing what's her name?

[Amelia]

THANKS!!!

[Miss Marple]

Thanks for the ping, Pokey. I will quote Lazamataz, who back during the impeachment said "There is absolutely nothing that I would not think Bill Clinton capable of doing. Nothing. "

As we can see, Clinton continues to sink lower and lower. Pretty soon we will be unable to distinguish him from pond scum.

What a pleasant thought!

[JulieRNR21]

Steyn hits one out of the ballpark again! He's got the egomanic twosome pegged!

Narcisus(sp) be thy name

[McGavin999]

LOL, you really get to know about people when there's a crisis. I think the American people are getting their first real glimpse of the real Bill Clinton. Boy, are they going to be surprised!

[LibertarianLiz]

Lest anyone doubted, no, it is a physical impossibility for a Clinton to tell the truth.

Yep, I just heard the "radio talk show host" who organized this thing on Michael Medved's show this week. The "weapons" was some kid who wasn't even part of the demonstration, walking through with a backpack. The cops checked the backpack and he had a gun. They held him til after The Beast left and then released him. No arrests were made.

What really bothered The Beast was that people were allowed to demonstrate and voice their disapproval and their opinions. Why can't she just be Queen and be done with these commoners. Life must be so difficult for her.

[LibertarianLiz]

Why don't they just "kick it up a notch" (in Emeril Lagasse parlance) and claim to have been inside those black churches - worshipping, of course, with a five-pound Bible - while nasty right wing conspirators set the fires?

OR; he was just getting ready to jog past those black churches and if he hadn't stopped for a cup of coffee, he would have been a crispy critter for sure.

Or, maybe, he just missed those church burners by an hour ---- maybe less.

I really, really hate it when people use the WTC for their own petty agendas. I hated it when the gay activists used the fact that one of the pilots was gay to advance their agenda; and I hated it when Pat Robertson used it to advance his agenda; and I hate it when Bubba and The Beast try to use it for their own personal aggrandizment.

Let's get this straight. What happened on 9-11 had nothing, nothing to do with God. It had everything to do with the other guy. The maniacs who did this made an individual choice --- and that choice was evil. God's hand is no where to be found in this act.

However, God's hand may be found in the brave men at the bottom of the heap who put other people's lives ahead of their own.
