I don’t actually read Molly Ivins columns, who does? But since I was forced to this time by her name calling, I thought I should note one thing: She’s a buffoon. After calling me “some juvenile jerk,” she writes “In the first place, that kind of arrogance is exactly what creates terrorists.” Well, first of all, she clearly didn’t read the article in question. But that’s cool. But does she really believe that American “arrogance” (i.e. Americans) are to blame for the creation of terrorists? I thought we’d gotten past this sort of asininity. If whatever creates terrorists is wrong, I’m sure she’ll be in favor of shutting down Hollywood and stopping all aid to Muslim countries — two things which clearly piss off the al Quaeda crowd more than sarcastic comments about declaring war on Canada. I’m sorry I haven’t read Ivins more regularly, that way I’d at least know whether it was five or ten years ago when she became a caricature.
