But if it’s a war on straw or the English language, we’ll win
By Prof. InstaHack thinks this point is so clever it’s worth repeating twice:
“…why are they “death squads?” I thought that people who did this sort of thing were called “insurgents,” in the interest of neutrality, unless one chose to compare them to the Minutemen? Or is that only when they’re on the other side?”
Yes, I’m afraid a tenured law professor can’t understand why terrorists working on behalf of the state wouldn’t be called “insurgents.” Jeebus. There’s spurious claims of media bias, and then there’s just not understanding what words mean.
And I’m sure you’re as sick of the American press comparing the Iraqi insurgency to the Minutemen as I am! I hate to give up my liberal bona fides, but I’m afraid I can’t go along with this media consensus: besides my opposition to terrorism, I haven’t seen a songwriter remotely as good as D. Boon come out of the Iraqi insurgency yet…
