Terror in America: Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Mark Steyn notices that the very thing that allowed 9/11 to happen in the first place is alive and well in America: Complacency.

Poll: Almost half of Democrats are Insane

It wasn't worded quite that way, but how else to you explain this result:

Zogby poll: 42% of Democrats think Bush either caused 9/11 or let it happen
I guess we should be grateful it’s not a clear majority, eh? You can thank the turds at 9/11 Truth for commissioning the poll; SLC spotted it earlier and has since been digesting the numbers. Spend some time with the data, paying special attention to question 402 starting on page 5 of the PDF. The results run on for several pages as Zogby breaks it down by age, region, religious belief, even gun ownership. The data for party affiliation comes on page 8. Here’s the most interesting bit, though, which I’ve taken the liberty of screencapping and highlighting. Click for large size:

Read the rest...quite enlightening.

UPDATE: Meanwhile Jeff Goldstein anxiously awaits the Bin Laden video which supposedly will "commemorate" 9/11:

New Bin Laden tape set to be released within the next 72 hours. Just in time for a long-promised special gift come 9/11?

Miraculously, early video captures from the tape suggest that Bin Laden appears to be growing younger. Which, I hate to say, suggests that his God is a lot more powerful than one who occasionally makes an appearance in a tortilla or in the bark of a tree, or who sends one of his lackeys to speak cryptically with a couple-three peasant girls at Fatima.

Allah be praised.

My wife, incidentally, has travel plans for the 11th. I’m thinking I might have to strap her to the sofa until this thing plays out.

Don’t question my patriotism, though. I just bought a new dishwasher and washer/dryer set from Sears. So I’m doing my part to fight terrorism by keeping the economy humming along.

update: 42% of Democrats polled believe the new bin Laden tape will feature Ron Silver in a robe and theatrical beard extensions — and that anything that blows up from here on out is proof positive that Bushco is invested in keeping the phony War on Terror alive, even if it means planning stealth demolitions, or dragging Karl Rove out of retirement so that he can don his ninja gear, head to the East Village, and detonate a radiological weapon himself.
