WHY THEY HATE US: Women wearing skimpy clothes? “For years the journalists and academics have said settling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict should be a high foreign policy priority for America because it would remove a potential grievance of terrorists. Are they all now going to launch campaigns against skimpy clothing?” Personally, I’m willing to see every terrorist in the world die rather than give up on the bikini.

UPDATE: Phil Bowermaster writes: “So if these people who are so upset about the mosque being built near ground zero want to do something constructive, why not pool their resources and put up a monument of their own. I suggest an enormous Hooter’s franchise as close to Cordoba House as they can get it. Also, maybe a restaurant specializing in BLTs.”

Don’t be silly. That would be unforgivably insensitive.
