Come fry with me   [Mark Steyn]

JPod, just to put Ames in the big geopolitical perspective:

Number of Iowans who participated in alleged first key vote toward choosing the leader of the world's superpower: 14,203

Number of Indonesians who turned up to demand the imposition of Islamic law worldwide at a routine rinky-dink nickel'n'dime rally generating virtually zero press coverage: 70-80,000  

And I don't think they got free fried Oreos.

Imam to Tommy Thompson organizer: "My fourth wife went to a sharia rally in Indonesia."

Tommy Thompson organizer: "Jakarta?"

Imam: "No. Unlike your supporters, she had to provide her own transportation."
