#1 F'ing NY times writes Mr. Sparky a puff piece. Or should I just call it an obit?

Sparky's dead. He's dead Jim. I read it on rantburg.

#2 The American officials said Thursday they had no reason to doubt a claim of responsibility for Wednesday's bombings in Jordan issued by Mr. Zarqawi's organization, Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia.

Falsehood or no, be sure to let this bloodthirsty rotter bite off more than he can chew. One can only hope he chokes to death upon all he is trying to swallow.

What wholesome and satisfying fun to see the Arab street finally assume some sort of indignant stance regarding terrorist atrocities. "Sauce for the goose" does not even begin to define this Golden Momentâ¢.

#4 Zenster, the Koran waxes indignant when non-muslims practice hypocrisy, but it says not a word forbidding its practice to Muslims. Mohammed's command to "Do unto them as they have done unto you", is a far cry from "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.". It's closer in spirit to the Mafia Golden rule: Do unto others BEFORE they do unto you.

#5 Well, I was skimming so I got as far as this:

By comparison, ordinary, disenchanted Iraqi Sunnis make up perhaps 70 percent of the insurgency, with supporters of Saddam Hussein's former regime and Shiite groups accounting for the balance.

...before I realized that it was the NYTP.

#6 So it's "Mr. Zarqawi" but just "Bush"?

So much for journalistic politesse.....
