Well, I do, and to prove it, I’ll link to someone I really don’t like, Mickey Kaus, who has some really smart things to say about the hideous terror attacks in Mombai. The massive death toll was in large part due to the utter incompetence of the Indian police. Quoting from an article in the Belfast Telegraph, Mickey runs the following “There were armed policemen hiding all around the station but none of them did anything,” [said photographer Sebastian D'Souza]. “At one point, I ran up to them and told them to use their weapons. I said, ‘Shoot them, they’re sitting ducks!’ but they just didn’t shoot back.”
Mickey properly takes to task one of his bête noirs, everybody’s favorite bête, in fact, the New York Times, for not having the nerve to tell the truth about the abysmal performance of the Indian cops, preferring to lament the dismaying shortage of high-power rifle scopes.
Having done his good deed for the day, Mickey suffers a predictable relapse, fulminating about those damned illegal immigrants—you know, the ones who are already here, working hard, paying taxes, and, well, not committing crimes. They’re the real danger.
Afterwords
Mickey doesn’t link to individual items. To find his rap, go here, scroll down to December 1 and then keep going past the slap at the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, who do sound kind of whiny.
