Insanity Roundup
Maybe I'm just fried from reviewing my tax bill from my local school district--a bill totaling many thousands of dollars for education services that are unusable (thus our daily twenty mile roundtrip to a modestly priced private school).
Maybe it's my depression over the continued intellectual wanderings of my dear leftist friends.
Whatever it is, it seems like a particularly bad night for leftist insanity. Witness:
Professor Alex Hinton offers this robust example of personal angst writ large--did you know that our conduct of the war on terror has strong corollaries to the regime of Pol Pot? (via Powerline)
Ann Althouse covers a demonstration (anti-US? pro-insurgency?) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, organized to protest the US involvement in Iraq.(via Instapundit). Professor Althouse quotes a student demonstrator:
Sophomore [name deleted] said she supports the resistance in Iraq and said it will continue as long as the U.S. military is there.
And lastly, Mark Coffey at Decision '08 takes on the truly unfortunate task of neutralizing the most recent caustic bloviation emanating from Terry Jones, former member of the immortal Monty Python comedy troop. Jones:
A report to the UN human rights commission in Geneva has concluded that Iraqi children were actually better off under Saddam Hussein than they are now.
This, of course, comes as a bitter blow for all those of us who, like George Bush and Tony Blair, honestly believe that children thrive best when we drop bombs on them from a great height, destroy their cities and blow up hospitals, schools and power stations.
This from a man who undoubtedly seen (even in 1960's London) many still-vacant blocks, courtesy of the Luftwaffe.
Our capacity to ignore evil, aided and abetted by our comfortable existence, is truly frightening.
