"If she lives, we will try again to kill her"

[Stinky The Clown]

Our local eleven o'clock nooz says the Taliban is saying this about that brave young woman who they shot.

Some thoughts:

This could create a blowback that the Taliban may not be able to resist.

That young woman is one of the bravest people I can imagine.

How awful that, as mankind has evolved such that we can keep men living in space and are preparing for a man to break the sound barrier while in free fall from 26 miles up, these cave men still hold sway over an entire country.

The is a prime example of what happens when radicals of any stripe hold societal power.
