Still busy today

But since it’s always good to have something to argue about, I will post this:

…as a way of saying I no longer care about this ginned up controversy. At. All. The Right Wing Noise Machine is playing its suckers again. I’m with Darwin: just build the damn thing.

On the other hand, Steve Greydanus makes a reasonable case that if the purpose of the mosque is really to “build bridges” then this is shaping up to be a bridge to nowhere if the builders continue to ignore the obvious feelings of the local community.

I think the thing stands or falls as a local issue, not as the phony national controversy that has been ginned up by Fox, Newt Gingrich and others who just needed a pool table to keep River City excited till the elections in November.
