Heh. From Fulham Reactionary, "Perhaps the best thing about Boris Johnson's victory last Thursday/Friday has been the sight of the entire British left wringing their hands in palpable woe." ‘Tis a sight to warm the cockles of one’s heart.

Political Insecurity has more anecdotal evidence of peace descending on Iraq.

At Seraphic Secret, Hamas produces an "educational film" about the Holocaust—Palestinian style. Apparently, several famous actresses of old have weighed in with appropriate responses.
