Every Christmas, Christians have to put up with historians claiming Jesus didn't exist...ah but now, Spengler notes, a German scholar claims that Mohammed never existed...and that Islam is a form of Gnosticism...and elsewhere, he notes the X rated Sufi poetry.

Murdoch's speech telling the dead tree media to clean up their act is a podcast HERE....

headlines prefer explosions and two year old corpses to the news that democracy is slowly working things out...

But the news that's not fit to report is that Michael Yon and StrategyPage agree:

November 22 is Victory in Iraq day...
of course, bombs continue, just like they do here...and the bad guys can reemerge if Obama screws things up...
