The thing about Fortuyn is now widely believed in the Netherlands. Though there is one crucial difference between the Fortuyn and Coulter incidents: the pie that hit Fortuyn contained human excrement, which does make it look less innocuous.

I’m in Colombia. Next time I meet one of their journalists I’m going to say "Colombia isn’t the only place where journalists are at risk. A prominent American journalist was attacked this week… with pies."

Have you seen the Powerline update?

'Here in the Netherlands we were immediately reminded of the pie attack on Pim Fortuyn, the Dutch anti-muslim leader. Few months after he was subjected to a pie attack, he was killed by people with the same ultra-left background. In retrospect, the pie attack was seen as a harbinger of the mortal attack on the man who should have been our prime-minister.'

It just gets funnier!

Oh. Damn. My extreme-right-eating fetish will have to wait for another day.

Unless anyone fancies a slice of Jonah Goldberg?

He’s not ‘walking the walk’ himself either, is he? Someone else is off in Iraq doing that. He’s just writing a few hundred words for a newspaper, which is not a particularly risky thing to do round these parts…

Are you suggesting that we should cannibalise Ann Coulter?

Pelting Ann Coulter with pies? Shocking bloody waste. Much better she be pelted with little bubble packs of barbecue, honey mustard, sweet chilli or whatever-the-fourth-one-is sauce.

Fair point.

I'd rather be a mouse by choice *up until the point when obliged to be an owl*, and then return to mouseing.

Sorry to break it to you, but the world is run upon the agressive use of force. It's not something to think of as *bad* or *good* in understanding this concept, it just is. You should take a bit more of a Stoic, Aurelian viewpoint in these things, Nature is what it is, denying it will not change it.

"If you are unwilling to defend your right to your own lives, then you are merely like mice trying to argue with owls. You think their ways are wrong. They think you are dinner." -- Terry Goodkind

I refuse to be a mouse by choice.
