Just crazy:

There’s a storm brewing at the University of Washington, where students have rejected a proposed memorial to one of the school’s bravest military heroes.

Yes. They rejected it because they wanted more decorated alumni to be honored.

Malkin closes her “booga-booga liberal academia” post with a letter (posted by the Raghead Jawa Report) from the president of the UW student senate:

I would also like to remind you that as ASUW President I cosponsored this bill to create a memorial, it failed by one vote, and a good majority of those who voted against it wanted more inclusion of other alumni who were combat veterans who earned the Medal of Honor. This week a new resolution to that effect is being drafted and introduced. In the meantime the ASUW supports veterans in other ways, currently we are supporting state legislation that will hopefully pass and guarantee veterans tuition waivers. In the end, the buck stops here, I would appreciate further comments to be made to me. Please do not participate or condone the hate-filled comments and phone calls made toward individuals in our student government. It has been appalling to see what is being said to people. I too am nauseated.

I don’t know if he’s referring to death threats or not, but considering the way the world works, I have to assume he is. Didn’t take long for wingnuts to remind us that the “high road” only applies to other people, did it?

Unless and until tanks roll across the plains of Armageddon, wherever that is, I will not be posting another word about the so-called “cartoon jihad.”

If I don’t take that step, my next post will be filed from an undisclosed padded location.
