Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader was working himself up into a lather over the plight of Gillian Gibbons. You know Ms. Gibbons. She who allowed her children (by which your Maximum Leader means the children she taught in school - not her biological children) to name a teddy bear after the prophet Mohammed.

At first your Maximum Leader was hoping that Gordon Brown would send a group of Royal Marines to the Sudan to rescue Ms. Gibbons before any sentance would be carried out upon her. But then it seemed as though the need for a military solution to the problem was averted when the Sudan pardoned her and allowed her to leave the country.

Your Maximum Leader is happy that Ms. Gibbons was not punished for a seemingly minor infraction (so minor in fact that in the civilized world it would not be an infraction at all). But at some level he wanted to strike a blow against this wild fundamentalism that seems to infect Islam around the world…

Of course, he’s found himself agreeing completely with that which Rachel wrote over on her fine blog.

Oh that we had more Charles Napier’s in the world.

Carry on.
