It seems that their panic at finding themselves in a country led by a black Democrat leads to an increase in violent incidents like the shooting at the Holocaust Museum. I’m currently gathering links to “wingnut hysteria” on del.icio.us, because I’m thinking of listing pairs of words that describe extremists at both ends of the religio-political spectrum.

…the new iPhones are coming with a new video and “send to YouTube” capability. And yes, David signed us both up for when they come out, as we’ve got 1st Gen phones, and we get a better deal because we didn’t upgrade before now.
