This essay by Ted Rall has sent Instaredundant and his posse into a holy furor. "Rall supports the Iraqi insurgents!" shrieks the blob. Come on, guys, that's simple-minded even for you. But let's grant that Rall is, in Reynolds' words (actually, he probably took them...

From Wednesday's Today show: Couric: “You say you’re not a hero...” Lynch: “No.” Couric: “...you’re a survivor.” Lynch: “Exactly.” Couric: “But, Rick, you think Jessica Lynch is a hero.” Bragg: “Yeah, we’ve argued about this, too, a lot. But, you know, I’ve said this...
