The Islam identification thing is mind-boggling and the trickle down effect is one of my least favorite things about facebook these days.

Then it gets tied to this fun meme:

..with (I guess?) the logical conclusion being 'Hey, we went to war against Germany didn't we? So we should go to war against Islam!"

NYPost has a story today with the Pilot saying that basically everything Williams said is wrong.

Seems to be competing pilots

Appears a helicopter with Williams' did come under rpg fire, just not his. Whatever, I don't like him anyway.

with any luck, only .0007% of the population find this cockeyed equation appealing. One odd thing is, those who DO seem most likely to also find Hitler appealing

Glenn Greenwald positing that we are hypocrites if we shame ISIL because drones.

No shades of morality with this idiot. Can't believe people read him.

I guess?

It's right up there with the one about "cross the iraq border and you'll get hung. cross the north korea border and you'll get shot. Cross the US border and you'll get food stamps and free healthcare' one. Sure, the US should strive to emulate those countries!!!

yeah, it's their presumption that their "therefore" is obvious rather than a non sequitur that makes it - well, it isn't funny, I guess, more like sad

Izzies claiming Jordan's airstrikes got the US hostage

good response would be cheering on another Jordinian strike on 20 more Izzie targets

I don't know what happened to Jindal--he was largely elected as a competent and pragmatic conservative, but he's become a full blown mindless ideologue.

I'm a bit frightened though that David Vitter seems to share my assessment.
Be Bold!

You don't say. Usually I see multi-posts I make before I (or someone else) deletes them. Not this time.

I blame any multiposts on my current SP - Frontier - because 1) Frontier sucks and 2) I hate them.

My new notebook and its hypersensitive trackpad also gets a share of blame.

Because i would never ever intentionally trouble the internet with reiterated posts.

so now we've got that cleared up, JH, the question stands: is Jindal's bigger brighter political future on the ropes because he's Brownbacked Louisiana's budget?
