Promises, Promises... Today's Best of

Promises, Promises...

Today's Best of the Web points to this message posted on the Columbia Daily Spectator message board by academic intifada-ist Edward Said:

the moment we start kicking terrorists out of New York City--I leave also. A terror-free city is no place for me.

Sounds genuine to me.

The message was left as a comment to this article, about an anti-PLO protest outside the UN in New York City, which contains the following sentence: "PLO out of NYC claims the PLO has been sponsoring terrorism for decades, a charge refuted by the PLO." I'm sure "refute" is just a malapropism. But Said probably liked the slant of this article (unlike the ones that he has previously said make living in America "a terrible experience.")

On the other hand, this one must have driven him crazy. No Said or pseudo-Said comment has been posted yet.
