Here’s how the Huffington post reported it. Arianna Huffington is??? A Secular Progressive first & woman second it would appear.  

The Feed Bags nominee for best attack piece on Sarah Palin’s performance at the Tea Party Convention goes to Deepak Chopra. This piece has it all; the claim of jingoism regarding the constitutional rights of the detained Jihadist, a George Wallace comparison (Say wasn’t he a Democrat?) and his whole Corpse man be damned assertion that TOTUS Obama is still one of the smartest people to ever live. h/t American Thinker

A who’s who of Western experts on Islam, weigh in on the importance of the Geert Wilders trial in Denmark. Western Civilization on trial? Truth not a defense when it comes to the Islamization of Europe. (Creep)

Upon further (Peer) reivew maybe those dire African crop projections not as alarming as once claimed. 

In related news, impugned Climategate professor Phil Jones claims he contemplated suicide after his deception was exposed.  Yes my heart bleeds. Just imagine how all the reputable scientists Mr. Jones & Prof. Michael Mann conspired against have felt for the past 15 years. There’s never a Jack Kevorkian around when you really need one.
