Shortly after Saddam fell Salam Pax blogged that the Communist Party in Baghdad, which apparently had just started pamphleteering, "had its heart in the right place."

'Nuff said about Salam Pax.

This article cries out for some links (if only because of the difficulty in believing some of this could be true, which, sadly, it all is)...

the Muslim Football League’s New Year tournament will bring together some of the most exciting Muslim football teams in Orange County: the Intifada, the Mujahideen, the Saracens and the Sword of Allah

Like the unfortunate Mr Colin Rose, fired from his prison officer’s post at Blundeston jail for making an ‘inappropriate’ remark about Osama bin Laden

Their position is basically that of Bernd Brandes, the computer engineer eaten by the German cannibal

But Noam Chomsky is admirably candid ... Hey, what about those three to four million dead?

This is SO GOOD I can't believe how much he packs into one article.

About this Sa'alem Pax guy, it's so expectable... he already was somewhat in the 'intellectual' camp, that's how he ended up with the cushy job that led to his ability to post during the whole thing. So now he's 'dancing with the guy who brung him' some more, why not? The pay's good, the US is the 'gofer' cleaning up the Iraqi pig-stye. Having lived in the middle east for a decade I can say with a clear conscience that expecting some kind of acknowledgment from an Arab is a waste of time.
Why did he think it would be any different? Because during the run up to and early experience of the war Sa'alam seemed pro-US? No, he was just reporting facts, and a little short of what to compare it to, he just sincerely expressed the truth. Now his true nature has come out. Welcome to the middle east.

Thanks for the hard work! You're right, if you didn't know better you'ld surely think he was going overboard with his imagination!!

Jesu, what a bunch of crap. Who picks the tomatoes in the midwest? Who mows the lawns? Who washes the cars?

Somehow, without the "benifit" of millions of illegal aliens sucking our budget dry, it gets done.

But all kidding aside, what we spend of educating, feeding, clothing, sheltering and medicating illegals could prop the wages for picking tomatoes up to about 18 bucks an hour.

To me, reading Mark Steyn's words is like eating a delicious meal. This article was especially tasty. :o)

The great thing is that I never get full. I could read/eat his words endlessly.

incisive and entertaining

Something Jabba the Hutt might say. This Steyn is my kind of scum...incisive and entertaining.

The man has so much skill with words, then he conjures up this cruel picture.
