Mar Steyn ping. Hope it wasn't a reprint. I searched but couldn't find anything like it.

Hesham Mohamed Hadayet is no Dudley Moore. He killed 2 Jews but couldn't knee cap the Great Satan. Makes you wonder where Al Qaeda gets its new bottom of the barrel recruits from. They can't even stun America on the Fourth Of July! And I am still waiting for Suleiman Al Ghaith to make another announcement shortly...

If last Thursday's shooting is the spectacular Fourth of July massacre al-Qaeda have been promising for months, then they're to be congratulated for a bloody slaughter on an epic scale never before seen in America except from incompetent grade-school psychos who steal Uncle Bud's hunting rifle but forget to take any extra ammo.

Great stuff, as always.

Mark Steyn's on the money. What happened at LAX wasn't a hate crime. The suspect wasn't a white fundamentalist Christian redneck. Oh according to the FBI it doesn't qualify as a terrorist act either since we all know Islam is a religion of peace and a peaceful Muslim can't murder Jews out of religious conviction. He must have had some unknown reason to murder two innocent people. Now you get the picture.

I love Mark Steyn!

I suspect we get a bone beforehand ... unless they believe -- after two years of barnburners like Elian and Condit -- we're due for a summer recess for a change.

Obviously, Underperformin' Norman Mineta, the scrupulously sensitivity-trained U.S. Transportation Secretary, would have been wary of jumping to conclusions. Were he running the LAPD, he'd have pulled in a couple of elderly nuns and Kelli-Sue, a trainee hairdresser from Des Moines

I just love the way this guy writes.

I've even been known to "borrow" some of his stuff!

[knighthawk]

Don't forget his mother denied he could have done it, and to many people that proof enough!

You are about as lucid as f.christian; that is, not much.

I'll type a little more slowly, then:

I don't think they'll let us just sit tight until September. They will have us all worked up about some stupid scandal that goes nowhere after yanking everybody's chain and monopolizing everyone's attention during the end of summer news slump.

An Osama video might have been the perfect thing ... assuming he still were alive (in which case "we'll get 'em") but might face undue scrutiny by tinfoil types if he's really dead and they're just faking (in which case "we got 'em").

I offered Osama a small part, but he said, "I've got one already."

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!! Fuming, his followers must be.

[knighthawk]

Did you notice Mark Steyn threads alway carry a lot of things like "I love"? LOL!

[headsonpikes]

"Underperformin' Norman" bttt.

Dang! Steyn is funny!

[goldstategop]

Terrorism is like sex: either you do perform or you don't. Norman is badly in need of a political Viagra shot.

[What Is Ain't]

What a treat! Steyn rules!

[FreedomPoster]

Ping for the MSPL. Another beauty!

[GoreIsLove]

Was wondering what Jackie Martling was up to.

...this column is pleased to inaugurate the David Atkin Muslim Balls Award...

Let me be the first to nominate The Master himself, Mark Steyn!

Of course, Steyn is not a Muslim,... but we shouldn't let that get in the way. Being a Muslim doesn't get in the way of the FBI either.
