‘Countering Violent Extremism’ Is A Perfect Phrasing

by Smitty Ed Driscoll seems to think this is ‘wussy‘ formulation. Note the accuracy, however, when used in the singular. What have we done against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? Counter A Violent Extremist (CAVE), that’s what! I, for one, welcome this refreshing outburst of accuracy in countering the Flemish Menace from my otherwise systematically incompetent overlords.

Oh, Canada?

by Smitty (h/t Lucianne) Ottawa cancels Ann Coulter. Right-wing antagonist Ann Coulter cancelled a University of Ottawa address last night after organizers decided it wasn’t safe to speak.
