This struck a funny bone this morning. Not the part where the editor was put in jail for insulting the Egyptian government, but the part where it says:

JK wrote to Mr. Salazar about the Moveon.org ad and received a very good reply that needs to be spread to those who think they want to run the country.
I lament MoveOn’s decision to engage in the politics of personal attacks. As noted in media reports, I believe the the ad was inappropriate and sent the wrong message (“Salazar assails MoveOn over Petraeus attack ad”, Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, 9/13/07).

He doesn’t see civil war like we do and never has. May this not happen again, but if it does, may someone with guns be there to help.
Jeff Goldstein has been listening in.
First militant: “Oh, don’t get me wrong, brother: I’d happily kill any filthy Jew a goodly tree informed me was cowering behind its majestic trunk. But what I don’t understand is why I’m supposed to be concerned about subprime interest loans — or by the Great Satan’s refusal to sign the Kyoto Protocol.”
Second militant: “Oh.”
