Monday Quickies

I'm still polishing my review of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire but I'll tell you now. Go.See.It. I have today off and I'm dashing off in a few minutes to finish my Christmas shopping. I loathe shopping in crowds and I go nowhere near a mall the day after Thanksgiving or the day after Christmas. So early, non-weekend days, allow me to get stuff done. This allows me to actually enjoy the decorations, carolers, taking the kids to see Santa, etc, during the runup to Christmas without fretting about shopping. So, here's some excellent links for reading until I get back this afternoon:

Michelle Malkin gives the final word on the Leftist moonbats who have moved from attacking her as an "Asian whore" to attacking her family. Brava.

In the news again, a 9th Circus Court ruling. Jay at Stop the ACLU and My Pet Jawa write about how making students dress as moslems and recite moslem prayers is not a violation of "separation of church/state" doctrine while saying "under God" in the Pledge is a violation. Heh.

Digger has the latest on murderous attacks on infidel young women in Indonesia. Hmmm... Berserker Baptists, ya think?

Dennis Prager looks at the Jordanian reaction to Islamist terrorism in its midst and later observes:

In a previous column, I proposed that supporters of the war in Iraq ask opponents of the war just one question: Without in any way compromising your opposition to the war, would you at least acknowledge that the people we are fighting in Iraq are evil? Virtually every one of the many letters I received from readers opposed to the war was incapable of answering in the positive. By fighting America and George W. Bush, the "insurgents" are essentially inoculated against moral judgment.

Likewise it has been nearly impossible for the Arab, Muslim and leftist worlds to morally condemn the blowing up of Israelis.

Mark Steyn is in fabulous form eviscerating the claims of American MSM that the riots in France had any Islamist roots.
Instead, the move-along-folks-no-jihad-to-see-here crowd points to the rioters' fondness for drugs, caterwauling rappers, casual sex, and hideous Western leisurewear as evidence of how culturally assimilated they are. Why, they threatened their victims with baseball bats!

Hold it right there for a minute. That's how we define "assimilating" into Western society at the dawn of the 21st century? If a fellow deals a little coke while wearing pants with a gusset located at calf height while singing along to the remix of "Slap Up My B**ch," we say, hey, he seems to be fitting in very nicely? No need to worry about his getting any wacky ideas down at the madrassah, he's an impeccably secular pluralist Peugeot-torcher.

Later!
