I wonder what the media reaction would be if Bill Simon were to drop out of the California governor’s race this week and be replaced by Bill Jones or Dick Riordan?

I mean, the technology’s only been around for seventy years or so…

Apparently the thirty-three pounds of weapons-grade uranium supposedly seized by the Turks the other day is not not only not thirty-three pounds (turned out to be five ounces). It’s not even weapons grade. And it’s not even uranium.

I wonder how much fake uranium the Jihadis have been wasting their money on? These people are such dolts, there ought to be all kinds of sting operations that we could pull on them.

As originally reported by Rishawn Biddle, Glenn writes that Tikkun is whining about someone sending out fake emails, ostensibly from them, to make them look stupid. The gallant law professor implies that there is snark to be made of this, but like Rishawn, unavails himself of the opportunity.

Always up for the cheap shot, I’ll just comment that for all my satirical brilliance, I, for one, lack the imagination to come up with any fictional emails that could top the genuine articles for that purpose. Some folks are simply beyond satire.

Now there are reports that John “Jihad” Walker Lindh, the young Marin County man who went to Afghanistan to seek enlightenment and fight for a regime that executed homosexuals by toppling stone walls on them, was part of a gay love triangle in Pakistan.

If you wrote a novel like this, no one would believe it.

The University of Michigan is going to be sponsoring a Palestinian hatefest in a couple of weeks in Ann Arbor.

A couple nice quotes:

Glossing over Palestinian terrorism, the mission statement declares “it is not our place to dictate the strategies or tactics adopted by the Palestinians in their struggle for liberation.” This outsourcing of morality allows the group to focus on Israel’s sins while ignoring those slaughtered by Palestinian suicide bombers.

You have to wonder two things: How would the university react had the Klan or some other extremist group spouting racist, sexist or homophopic hate speech asked for a platform on campus? And when did anti-Semitism lose its seat on the bus of political correctness?

Torricelli is scheduling a press conference for 2 PM eastern. I wonder if he’s being pressured to drop out while the Dems still have time to find an alternate candidate?

Nelson Mandela continues to dissipate his reputation with foolish statements. Now he says that the UN is getting dissed by the US because Kofi Annan is black. Following his recent comments that Israel is a “white” nation and Iraq is a “black” one, this myopic and distorted race-based view of politics is rendering, if it hasn’t already rendered, this once-notable and respected man into utter irrelevance.

The real question should be, how did this loon become New Jersey’s poet laureate in the first place?
