I'M EITHER CRAZY OR LONELY: This is one of the dumbest news stories I've ever seen. When a Muslim extremist copycats Muslim extremists, protesting against a war that was brought on by the acts of Muslim extremists, of course it's fucking connected. What's the point of this story if not to tar and feather Tony Blair? Fucking A.

I was a guy that loved to read Noam Chomsky, subscribe to Utne Reader, go see Michael Moore movies, and laugh along with Janeane Garofalo at how stupid the bible-banging Republicans were. And yet since 9/11 I've felt like the whole Left has just missed the boat completely. It's shameful.

There is a dispersed global army of nutballs who want to exterminate "infidels." In this mission, they're all connected. They're trained and financed, to the extent that either of these things matters. Maybe W. doesn't have the right idea, but I don't see anybody else with any viable plans for how to deal with this right now. Instead I see a bunch of dummies thrilled about being able to trumpet the fact that some Muslim dumbfuck who TRIED TO FUCKING BLOW UP INNOCENT PEOPLE ON PURPOSE says he's not directly connected to Osama Bin Laden. Who cares what he says. Don't we see the writing on the wall?

As Napoleon Dynamite would say, "Don't be an IDIOT."
