A facebook friend commented: “Bin Laden is at this moment being beaten up by 72 Virginians.”
Maybe the Salahis are among them.
Vegans?
Not sure he’d like that any better, Mudge.
A few weeks ago, Dan was the guest on WCVB-DT’s “On The Record” show, aired on Sundays at 11:00 am. I usually watch Howie Kurtz’s “Reliable Sorcerors” in real time then, but I recorded “OtR” because I thought Wasserman might provide a good interview, which he did. I didn’t realize that the show ends with a little news quiz, a la “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” without the laughs. Hmmm…if Dan Wasserman undergoes a quiz, would that be a Wasserman test?
Rhetorical question, I assume.
It’s raisins, not virgins. It was a mistranslation that stuck because women are more desirable than fruit and contemplation, which is what the Koran (apparently) originally intended.

As a Muslim, I find it offensive that people would make awful and tasteless puns about another religion. Puns are the lowest form of humor! When I think of people like Jalaluddin Rumi and Omar Khaiyyam, who have devoted their lives to prayer and learning, I lament how we Muslims (to paraphrase Eliot) have been reduced to a whimper of occidentalism and a South Park joke.
Or maybe I’m just being uptight because I haven’t Bin Laden so long.
(Sir, I apologize for the crudity but I swear, once I thought of it I had no choice but to post.)
Let it flow, Arafat.
