The American Spectator

Another Perspective

The Bank of England released the names of 19 people who have been taken into custody for plotting to blow up airplanes while in flight from England to the United States. You can always count on a bank to be the first to flush out deadbeats ("don't loan these people money!"). Sallie Mae will probably release more names later today.

Oh, that's the wrong list. That's the sign-up sheet at the Bingo hall.

The funny thing is that the above-mentioned names will be scrutinized with equal fervor at airports in the name of "fairness."

The actual list of 19 who were taken into custody read like invitations to a laser-tag party at a Riyadh Chuck-E-Cheese: all Muslim, all under 35, all male. Hmm, call me crazy, but I'm starting to notice a pattern here.
