Quote of the Day

"...since Sept. 11, 2001, America has found Muslim allies willing to die at our side in the fight against Islamic radicalism. Just to demonstrate some connection to reality, perhaps conservatives should delay their criticisms of Islam's irredeemable violence until after the inspiring, courageous, mainly peaceful protests of Muslims in the Middle East draw to a close. For some conservatives, liberty is found only in their private stock, aged in Anglo-Saxon cellars, to be sipped and savored at their leisure. But much of the world, it turns out, is thirsty and cares little about the vintage." -- Conservative columnist Michael "Mushroom Cloud" Gerson in today's Kaplan Daily, proving once again that a even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut. Extra bonus points for him naming elitist wordsmiths George "Quill" Will and Peggy "Nooners" Noonan as offenders. Kudos to him.
