Remember how the elections in Kyrgyzstan were supposed to have been "rigged"? That was the reason for the "Tulip Revolution," or the "Pink Revolution," or whatever is going on in one of the poorest and most isolated countries in the former Soviet Union. The...
Put a sock in it, Plaut
I'm having such fun with those wacky craaaaazy zonked-out jokesters over at Frontpage -- the neoconservative equivalent of Ken Kesey's Prankster Bus -- that I can hardly stand it. First it's the screaming headline on Horowitz's blog this morning -- "Saddam Hussein...
