Islam And Democracy: Can A Country Fully Embrace Both?
"There are Muslims and Muslims.
Some believe that people should be able to choose, some believe that it is up to Allah to choose. Of the latter, the problem is that most believe that the mullahs know what Allah wants better than the people do. (It's kind of a Catholic/Protestant thing.)
Big problem: a small minority believes that if you don't agree with their mullahs, you should die.
Solution: assassinate their mullahs, pour encorager les autres."

“Oh dear. Can't stand up to a professional stand-up comedian like Glenn Beck. What are they doing hosting a current affairs show?”
Peggy Drexler: Beauty and the CandidateI have no time for Palin the Uneducated, but I am amused by an assistant professor saying "okay, she was a governor, but it was a state with a small population." And just how many states (of whatever size) have you been governor of, Peggy Drexler?”
Job Creation Idea No. 9: Encourage Banks To Lend -- Or Else
“This works for me. First we tell the banks that they did not have enough reserves to handle the crisis which is why we had to bail them out. Then we insist they increase their reserves to get better balance sheets. Then we tell them the government will confiscate this money with a Reserves Tax. A scheme the Mafia would be proud of.”
Job-Creation Idea No. 10: A Lower Dollar Would Level The Playing Field
“Yep. We can then become like New Zealanders - able to live like kings at home as long as we don't want to travel anywhere...making Americans even more world-ignorant and isolationist”
