A side note to the protesting of Daniel Pipes and Islamo-Fascist Awareness Week at Tufts University:
A group called "Pathways-Tufts Interfaith Initiative" was one of the signatories to the fliers used in the protest. (See the second photo in the entry above.) This group exists at the sufferance of a Federal grant:
Pathways is a new program on campus that aims to promote tolerance and understanding across religious and cultural group on campus. Funded by a federal grant, the project is the result of the leadership and vision of a consortium of partners, representing student organizations and faculty members from across the university...
The "consortium of partners," btw, includes the Muslim Brotherhood founded Muslim Student Association. Here's an article on the Pathways site about the group.
OK, my title is a slight exaggeration (although who knows who paid for the photocopies), but here's another federal grant to a college to create a group with an agenda that often runs counter to American interests.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
