Gentlemen,

We can reduce the tedious repeats of the Tribesy and Fragony Show in two ways: you both can stop trolling each other and play nicely; or I can issue enough warnings to each of you every time to ensure topics aren't derailed because you're just sweet memories.

Your choice.

It's just that I have trouble dealing with such feelings, something about him

You could make a song out of that

Are you suggesting I marry Joel Klein or the President-elect? Your insult is maddeningly unclear.

Why just one?

I’m frustrated by this pro-Lemur .org media bias.

Global reactions to Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri's controversial condemnation of U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama as a "House Slave" (or, alternatively, "House Negro") have begun to pour in -- including via the top jihad web forums used by Al-Qaida to disseminate its propaganda. Though hardcore Al-Qaida supporters have predictably dismissed any criticism of Dr. al-Zawahiri and are fiercely backing his choice of words, there is a rather ironic (if not entirely unfamiliar) twist to this issue. After observing international press reporting on the incident, these same supporters are now bitterly attacking the media for its "unfair" pro-Obama bias and for deliberately "confusing" the meaning of al-Zawahiri's message.

Meanwhile, the Antichrist/Muslim/Socialist/White-hating President-elect is winning over some conservatives with his cabinet picks.

As someone who was skeptical of Obama’s moderate posturing during the campaign, I have to admit that I am gobsmacked by these appointments , most of which could just as easily have come from a President McCain. (Jim Jones is an old friend of McCain’s, and McCain almost certainly would have asked Gates to stay on as well.) This all but puts an end to the 16-month timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, the unconditional summits with dictators, and other foolishness that once emanated from the Obama campaign. His appointments suggest that, if anything, his administration will have a Reapolitiker, rather than a liberal, bent, although Clinton and Steinberg at State should be powerful voices for “neo-liberalism” which is not so different in many respects from “neo-conservativism”. Both, for instance, support humanitarian interventions in places like Darfur and Bosnia.

Combined with the moderation of the economic team that Obama has just named, I would say his administration already far exceeds expectations, and he hasn’t even taken office yet.

Bias, I say! Bias!

Your not doing your side any favors with tripe like this. I voted for the big O, but do I really need to hear you link Al Qaeda and the GOP in whining about the media? The answer is No.

Show me where I did so. I compared AQ's whining to a Time Magazine editor, not the GOP. The rest is beyond my control.

Is AQ complaining about media bias? Yes they are. Has the GOP whined about it at length? Yes they have. Does that make them comparable? Let's think about it. Most members of Al Qaeda have two feet, and most Republicans have two feet. Al Qaeda uses language, and Republicans use language. I guess they must be equivalent! Maybe they're even the same people!

I guess I'm an evil, unfair Lemur for even bringing this topic up. Anyone reporting on AQ's media bias whining must be a real tool.
