Quote of The Day

"She cannot defend her own rights against her husband. How can she defend the rights of my country?"

--General Suhaila Siddiq, Afghanistan's only woman general, a surgeon, hospital director comments on Hillary Clinton.

Remembering why Mike Spann died

On Target: Andrea Peyser, the New York Post columnist who gave us the unforgettable description of Christiane Amanpour as "War Slut" (for which Rupert Murdoch had to apologize - more's the pity) jumps on the P.C. crowd this morning like a pit bull on a poodle. We wonder how Bill Press would handle it if Sweden had bombed the WTC.

"Wake" 'Em When It's Over: This report in the London Telegraph says captured terrorists are being flown to - of all places - Wake Island and suggests the reasons why. Although the Pentagon is still denying it it's probably true and shows that someone at Justice and the State Department is doing their homework. Brilliant.

Somebody Had To Do It: John McCaslin at the Washington Times tells us that an environmental group has done an English to English (!) translation of Al Gore's book in order to make it less scary. Maybe the dems should have done that with his speeches. You know, like those deaf signers they always have when no one in the room is deaf - quietly mouthing over his shoulder.

Old Men Go To War: Does anyone truly care if they get their war news from an aging network talking head? Seems the networks think so as Tom Brokaw, 61 waits in New York for a go ahead and Gunga Dan Rather, 70, mopes around Bahrain checking his MedicAlert bracelet and, no doubt, driving the military nuts with his endless whining to go see some action. Page Six reports.

Small Justice: Dave Flood, a 3'2" Florida radio personality wants to overturn the state law against dwarf tossing. Who knew they had one? Who knew there was a dwarf radio personality? Who actually enjoys going to bars that feature this odd sport? Why should anyone care if the dwarfs don't?

Ldotter Note: We've managed to use the words "slut" "deaf" and "dwarf" in one small column this morning. We do not want to hear from anyone about it, you understand. Tomorrow we may trot out "blind," "crippled" and "just plain nuts" - someone has to keep up the fight against the P.C. hordes.
