Mark Steyn: "If They Ever Put a Bullet Through Your Brain, I'll Complain."

Mark Steyn nails it again:

“The Kerry campaign is a bore that's degenerating into a laughing stock.”

And, apropos of the massacre of the school children in Beslan:

” Could what happened in Beslan happen in the US? Two months ago, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported on a fellow called Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi, a suspected terrorist who'd fought with his fellow jihadi in Chechnya and somehow wound up in Minnesota, where he'd applied for licences to transport hazardous materials and drive school buses.


Americans who care about this stuff know where George W Bush stands. They're not sure where the Democrats do - sometimes it's full-scale Michael Moore denial, at other times it's going through the multilateral motions with Kofi and Co. No point on that continuum is of sufficient electoral appeal.


Last week, apropos the Islamists' impressive mound of Israeli, Nepalese and Russian corpses, Kofi Annan's office issued the following statement: "The secretary-general strongly condemns all hostage-takings and killings of innocent civilians."


Or, as Cole Porter wrote in Friendship: "If they ever put a bullet through your brain, I'll complain."
