Hell is getting crowded
: Israel is not the only place being terrorized by suicide bombers of the Islamic stripe. Ten people at a Hindu temple in India were just murdered by a Muslim suicide bomber.

You won't like what comes next
: Inspired by Victor Davis Hanson's line, "There will be no second Holocaust," Will Warren pens a few right-on lines of his own:

Not concerned with what Allah wants or doesn’t,
Don’t care what it says in your holy text,
Doesn’t matter if your sad story was or wasn’t.
Don’t try it: you won’t like what comes next.
The lights
: A chorus is growing to keep the towers of light. I strongly agree. The lights should become a permanent part of our skyline, part of the permanent memorial.
Now add the fact that it is going to take as long as six years, they say, to build on the site (can't find the link now); we need these lights there to fill in the hole.
But Mayor Bloomberg is being a bozo about this, saying that the lights will go dark in April and may come back again. He's whining about the cost. Damnit, a mayor of vision would not quibble. He's acting like a CEO, not a leader.

Get me rewrite
: So Noam Chomsky is going to start a newspaper about the war. From where else? San Francisco, of course. Chortle.
