In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
I particularly enjoyed the first one to pop up - it's a letter to the editor of the offending yellow journal rightfully decrying the offensiveness of the cartoon. Note how she has to say "I'm neither Muslim, nor Middle Eastern, nor do I love the terrorists". I half expected her to pledge allegiance to the flag first.

The problem is that things like this are logical extensions of the narrative put out by...who? I would guess that the Bushites are merely pawns in some other players hands. Not to take anything away from their inglorious crimes.
And once the narrative has reached this point, it is may be much too late to re-capture those who are turned by this logic. They think it is clever. They pass it on to their friends and get trapped into espousing even worse.
What to do? Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

Feeling stupid today... Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
And all problems coming out of it. Ok. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
If so, you might be too. My "ok" was as in "ok, I get it" not as in "ok, all Iranians are cockroaches". Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
