First, an apology for being AWOL, and the lack of blog posts. This election–you might have heard of it, between Barack Obama and Emperor Palpatine?–is kicking my ass. And some of you know that I’m in school at night at Johns Hopkins, finishing my master’s, and my final draft of my thesis is due Monday. So, in short: kill me now.
We’ve got a ton of great blog posts in the works, if I can get through the next week. Be patient folks, they’re comin’.
In the meantime, check out this video of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin (may this be the last day I have an excuse to post anything about this moose hunting hillbilly dingbat). She says that Bill Ayers is a terrorist, but she “doesn’t know” if people who have bombed abortion clinics and KILLED people can be called the T-word. Oh, and she also has said Obama is not only “pals around with terrorists,” but he also represents the spectre of a socialist state. (Kudos to Obama for getting attacked with both old school and new school scare-mongering).
Let’s get the logic: People who burn SUVs are “terrorists.” Nuns are terrorists. People who release mink from fur farms are “terrorists.”
But people who bomb federal buildings and kill people aren’t terrorists, and religious nut jobs who murder doctors aren’t, either.
Remember when Judge Aiken, who presided over the “Operation Backfire” Earth Liberation Front cases, said this terrorist scare-mongering is not political? Riiiiiiiight.
