A beheading here, a beheading there, pretty soon you're talking real news!

{link » Headless Body in Gutless Press}
“Just asking, but are beheadings common in western New York? I used to spend a lot of time in that neck of the woods and I don't remember decapitation as a routine form of murder. Yet the killing of Aasiya Hassan seems to have elicited a very muted response.”
 — Mark Steyn
I used to spend a great deal of time in New York myself, but I don't recall ever reading about a beheading there. Perhaps it's always been just an everyday occurrence and, therefore, doesn't merit mention along with the Bush-bashing gems to be found in the likes of "All the News That's Fit to Print".

Or, possibly, it doesn't conform to the immaculate bylines of those worthies who report all the news that conveniently conforms to their liberal views. After all, Mr. and Mrs. Hassan are (or, in the case of the Mrs., were) a respectable Muslim couple. Perhaps they remain respectable still, in accordance with mainstream-New-York politically-correct liberal sensibilities.

With some liberals, you know, you just don't know, you know?
