Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

The Flaying of Richard Cohen, Episode XV
Yet another deconstruction of Mr. Cohen's flaming fluorescent bleeping bleeping assbleeping, yet comfortingly predictable, dumpster logic, lovingly produced by Axis of Weevil Minister of Arts and Crafts (Knife Sharpening Division) and Sine Qua Non Pundit, Charles Austin.

Cohen's topic: Zac Moussaoui--victim of soicumstances. So much good stuff--here's a snippet:

Or, let us just suppose that Moussaoui is the moron he appears to be.

It is apparently beyond Richard’s ability to imagine that Moussaoui could be a moron and the 20th hijacker at the same time.

He acted so strangely at his flight school that he called attention to himself, and someone, in turn, called the cops. He appears to be the perfect dupe -- the very fellow Osama bin Laden might have had in mind when he said on a videotape that not all the hijackers knew that they were on a death mission.

Richard goes for the trifecta – fluorescence, confusion, and ignorance of the law. Even if the other hijackers didn’t know the fate that awaited them, had one of them miraculously survived any of the crashes on 9/11, they would be on trial for their crimes right now as well.

Maybe Moussaoui thought that he was merely going to help hijack a plane and take it to Cuba or somewhere.

Maybe Moussaoui was actually a disciple of Louis Farrakhan and thought that he was going to fly the plane to the mothership. So what?

Would that warrant the death penalty?

Given the conduct of the murderers on the planes and the results of 9/11 – YES!
