If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

To be fair to Harris he does say that if you have to rely on airport security, you are basically fucked. BUT if you do go that route and if your particular terrorist of the day is of that persuasion then leave white granny alone with your limited resources. Also Boston probably doesn't help your ca...

Reading the ogvorbis blogspot blog-- and his prior wordpress blog-- is chilling. One of his frequent themes is Hey Christians! I'm an atheist, but look how respectable and normal I am! No need to fear that I'm secretly the devil's pawn. Not a strong argument, from someone who is self-described rape...

What's more, the point on Ogvorbis remains. Benson just found a way to again avert it being visible on her blog. That's the game. Welch Insult Exegesis is allowed to establish all kinds of convoluted theories about ideological underpinnings to make "us" look horrible (kkk! anti-semitism! misogyny!)...

FWIW, my recent comment (more or less) on Bensonâ€™s blog, currently in moderation: Ophelia (#102 ): Steersman â€“ ah so thatâ€™s how itâ€™s done.

Apparently you are special - it's up now.

I will have to go to remedial.

Aneris, "Next round at Benson's place. This time the moderaton queue can't be about first time commenter.
