NYC refudiates Palin.

By comparison, being named "Jon Stewart" is highly correlated with being more insightful than 99/100 of political pundits.

Choosing the username "Hauldren Collider" is highly correlated with being a tool.

With wit like that, you could give Stewart a run for his money!

That's a pretty low bar, these are pundits we are talking about after all.

More to the point, in this case, what Stewart had to say was pretty on the mark, regardless of whether or not he's a comedian.

[Guynemer]

Seriously, if Gingrich or Palin or ****ing Howard Dean keep this **** up, I'm going to pull a Farnsworth and leave this ****ing planet.

[Hauldren Collider]

Oh sweet, you can leave the planet? I've wanted to do that for ages.

[Kuciwalker]

With wit like that, you might make someone chuckle.

[Kuciwalker]

Somewhere.

I gave him a pity chuckle.

The Cordoba Initiative hasn’t begun fundraising yet for its $100 million goal. The group’s latest fundraising report with the State Attorney General’s office, from 2008, shows exactly $18,255 – not enough even for a down payment on the half of the site the group has yet to purchase.

The group also lacks even the most basic real estate essentials: no blueprint, architect, lobbyist or engineer — and now operates amid crushing negative publicity. The developers didn't line up advance support for the project from other religious leaders in the city, who could have risen to their defense with the press.

The group’s spokesman, Oz Sultan, wouldn’t rule out developing the site with foreign money in an interview with POLITICO – but said the project’s goal is to rely on domestic funds. Currently, they have none of either.
