You ain't nutin' but a hound dawg

Where is Binnie? Playing the guitar with Elvis? A BU prof takes a different look at this question.

Focusing on Osama and al Qaeda affirms a CIA axiom dating from the Cold War, an axiom challenged during the Reagan years but that has been U.S. policy since 1993, namely: terrorism is the work of "rogue individuals and groups" that operate despite state authority. According to this axiom, the likes of Osama run rings around the intelligence services of Arab states—just like the Cold War terrorists who came through Eastern Europe to bomb in Germany and Italy and to shoot Pope John Paul II supposedly acted despite Bulgarian intelligence, despite East Germany's Stasi, despite the KGB. This axiom is dear to many in the U.S. government because it leads logically to working with the countries whence terrorists come rather than to treating them as enemies.

Terror is the new communism, says Pepe

Fro the Dennis Prager show transcript: As they say on the TV show 24, the following took place last week between 9 and 10 p.m. on a flight from Los Angeles to Denver. I spoke for a few minutes to the 20-year-old woman seated across the aisle from me. She: What brings you to Denver? Me: I am giving a speech. She: What do you do? Me: I'm a radio talk show host. She: Who did you vote for? Me: McCain She: Why? Me: Smaller government and the war on terror. She: Terror is the new communism. Me: Communism killed about a hundred million people. And who do you think attacked and killed 3,000 of us on Sept. 11? She: The government.

For the record, as I believe this to be essential to understanding this young womans views, she is a student attending the University of California Santa Barbara. Truth is she had to be a student at a major university. She would never have come up with Terror is the new Communism on her own. It is a moral obscenity that one has to learn. Of course, there is an irony to this statement. Meant in the opposite way she meant it, I could largely assent to the proposition that terror is the new communism.

Pepe would collapse into a puddle, shaking uncontrollably, if such a heretical thought would ever cross his mind. The horror! The horror!

Say it ain't so, Pepe

Your buddies from Gitmo are gonna plead guilty to murder? Ah, mais non, mais non! Surely all these Binnie Boys (starting with KSM) are innocent. Just let them go -- to Nawlins, there is a nice little house right next door to Pepe, surely he'd love to have those innocent poor little souls persecuted by big bad W-Rove-Halliburton-Cheney next to his bosom.

Turning the other cheek


.. is a noble sentiment. But it ain't gonna do scat with the head-hackers. Only superior firepower will.

Pepe's Really Is The Stupid Planet



So, the Dumbing Down of America has paid off the for the Sorosian Puppet Masters. And in Versailles lives their Punicello, with his 57 Varieties of States and his Roosevelt giving Television Speeches to the thankful masses. Obamaclincible Ignorance
