According to the Washington Times, two of the suspects in the attempted bombings in Britain had eyes on the United States. David Hanson, the author of “A War Like No Other,” an account of the Peloponnesian War, sees the West sliding back into Carterville. But, not to worry: Madonna has saved the planet. And Colin McEnroe, once a religious writer for the Hartford Courant, planned to hobnob over the weekend with some Muslims, at least one of whom is a shady character, though not quite so abhorrent to the new left as Sen.

But get you in a pack and shove a Koran down your pants and you act like a footlocker full of glus-sniffing civit cats."
The Know Nothings were anti Catholic, like this, courtesy of Helen Ubinas: "We're talking about the Catholic Church here - an organization that can't seem to help but trip over its own callousness. It talks about helping abused children but bends over backward to protect pedophile priests. And that compromise that would have brought emergency contraception to rape victims? In the end, they walked away."
