ell, it looks like the Daily
Howler screwed up again, mistakenly identifying an overgrown blog entry as
a peer-reviewed scientific paper. And there appears to be confusion over the
fate of the self-proclaimed caliph, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who apparently has
died once again. (I’ll believe it when I see his head on a pike in some
suitably public venue, thank you very much.) And houses in Florida are
disappearing into sinkholes for whatever unholy reason. Arab citizens of Israel
murdered two police officers at the Temple Mount, Turkish authorities continued
purging government workers, Liu Xiaobo was cremated in China, and two tourists
were murdered at an Egyptian resort.
And these are merely the headlines. Allah knows what horrors I
would find if I read the actual stories attached to them. When ignorance is
bliss, as they say, ’tis folly to be wise. For the moment I believe I’ll cling
to my ignorance with both hands, thank you very much. Maybe tomorrow will bring
better headlines.
