“Playwright Harold Pinter, speaking at last weekend’s rally, said ‘The US is a nation out of control,’ and ‘unless we stop it, it will bring barbarism to the entire world.’ He said America was ‘a country run by a bunch of criminal lunatics with Tony Blair as a hired Christian thug.’ When Blair shows up in the pulpit cleaving the air with a scimitar, let me know. When US television broadcasts a speech with Billy Graham hosting an Excalibur replica from the Franklin Mint Collection, demanding the decapitation of Muslims, let me know. When George Bush grips the podium and beseeches American rock formations to give up the location of non-Christians so we can slit their throats, and it’s carried live on national TV by presidential order, drop me a line. It takes a particularly rarified variety of idiot to look at a Jew-hating fascist with a small mustache – and decide that his opponent is the Nazi.” – James Lileks, bleating like a lion.
