How others see us/FCP planets in conjunction

Pepe sent me this email as a surrogate post:


If there ever was a perfect fcp story, this is it: terrorists and transvestites -the dream right-wing nut straw man.


I thought it funny enough, but going to my Taranto fix today, I see the sorry story gets a nice treatment (in color):



Same-sex marriage has come to Iraq, CNN reports:

Soldiers manning a checkpoint near Baghdad stopped a wedding convoy to find that the purported bride and groom were wanted terror suspects, an Iraqi Defense Ministry official said Monday. . . .

The soldiers became suspicious of the convoy because its members--save the "bride"--were all male and because one of the cars in the convoy did not heed orders to stop, the official said.

But the bride was male as well:

Upon inspecting the convoy, soldiers found a stubbly-faced man, Haider al-Bahadli, decked out in a white bride's dress and veil.

Bahadli was wanted on terror-related charges, as was his groom, Abbas al-Dobbi, the official said.


This is only an anecdote, though; it would be irresponsible and homophobic to conclude that there is a link between same-sex marriage and terrorism.



So Pepe could have been feeding Taranto all this time!

And now the punchline: Look down at Taranto's thanks...
