Standard Mischief

Sure it’s a free country, and as Michelle Malkin puts it, I’m glad you Wal*Mart hater types have suddenly done a one eighty on property rights. Even if our freedoms protect the right of people to assemble freely on a piece of private property, that does not make the idea a good one.

I’ll tell you what. The next time we send American troops overseas to shield the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from attack from someone like the Iraqi Republican Guard, we need to tell them it’s a package deal. Along with the Privates, Platoons, and Patriot surface-to-air missiles; we need to make it clear that we’re going to send Pornography, Pork BBQ, and Pabst Blue Ribbon. We left those traditions home with us during Operation Desert Shield out of respect for our hosts. R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Screw the rest of the world’s peaceful Muslim community, maybe we should have just nuked Masjid al-Haram, (via suborbital trajectory, because it’s the only way to be sure), in retaliation for the al-Qaida attacks in New York and at the Pentagon.

On a slightly less hysterical note, can we hope the over-regulators in Manhattan exercise a little eminent domain abuse?
