Jonah Goldberg

"I Have Rights!" Some samples:

Now, some overly pedantic types might say, "Shows what you know! Islam has a very rich tradition of human rights."

To which I might reply, bully for Islam. The French have an ancient tradition of military bravery, but what have they done for me lately?

and

Consider Hussain Osman, another of the alleged conspirators, Osman spent his youth as an enormous fan of all things American. 'He had a fixation with America,' his girlfriend explained, particularly with hip-hop. The Somali refugee went to the discos all the time and 'worshipped' Tupac Shakur, the murdered rapper and son of a Black Panther. Now, it should be made clear that Mr. Osman is what some experts in the field call a 'moron.' Explaining to Italian authorities that he 'preferred' not to be extradited to Britain--isn't that special?--Osman insisted that he was no 'terrorist.' After all, 'We didn't want to kill, just sow terror.'


Made me laugh.
