[Afternoon update]
I liked this comment on the debate with a Perry/Obama race:
Candidate Perry: My state gained a million jobs with no state income tax and a part-time legislature that meets every other year.
Candidate Obama: But Bush was my predecessor. I inherited what he left.
Candidate Perry: Ditto.
Heh.
I’m still here.
Either it didn’t happen, or there aren’t very many righteous people.
Hey, wouldn’t it be a hoot if they got it wrong, and what really happens is that your clothes are shot to paradise, but your body gets left behind?
I am completely unsurprised by this:
In a recently screened BBC documentary called ‘Secrets of the Superbrands’, UK neuroscientists found that the brains of Apple fans are stimulated by images of Apple products in the same areas as those triggered by religious imagery in a person of faith.

I don’t think it helps the so-called “moderate Muslims” to “follow Islamic traditions” with respect to this monster. He should have been fed to the hogs.
[Update mid afternoon]
I’m listening to Glenn Beck, and he’s channeling me. He says he’s already spoken to Muslim friends who are appalled that this happened.
Also, I’ll have a piece up at Pajamas Media on this subject later today.
Was Obama heavily into them at Harvard Law? It would actually be quite out of character for him if he weren’t.
Some thoughts on political mislabels, and (lack of) presidential leadership. And note the latest rube who has become disenchanted with the president.
Why, when and how may we have to find another home?
