But for "balance," they might try an episode where some really smooth operators DON'T show obvious signs of incipient terrorism, until the Muslim family Homer wrongly suspected point out a few things Homer would never have guessed, and help nab a few REAL terrorists. There were lots of Muslims working in the World Trade Center. Do you think that fazed al Qaeda any? No, they shouldn't start hammering Islam.

Or, do you consider anything short of Sharia law for everyone in North America to be bigotry toward Muslims? Is it OK with you that in our country, once your daughter is 18, she can marry whoever she wants, and only seeks her father's permission if she chooses to? Because if you think it is bigotry against Islam to try her father for murder if he kills her, then you need to find yourself another country to live in. As long as you know what the laws of our nation are, and accept them, you're cool. After all, there are fifth generation Muslims going to mosques that have been around since the 1890s, and nobody was bothering them before 9/11, or very much since then. They carry American flags proudly.

Eric Rudolph? That Hindu guy from Sri Lanka with the name even the AP couldn't spell consistently, who was doing suicide bombings before we ever hear of al Qaeda? The Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda? Oh, and what religion exactly was Jonas Savimbi? Don't forget the ARENA party in El Salvador... they were good Catholics... no wait, they murdered an archbishop. Maybe they were all Hispanic Muslims? Timothy McVeigh? Eric Rudolph?

I really do not believe that 9/11 was an inside job. And I know that video on the internet about how it was a missile fired at the Pentagon is false, because there was a whole freeway full of morning commuters who saw the plan crash into the building. But I do appreciate THE ONION's headline "Privileged children of millionaires square off on the world stage." (That would be oil heir Osama bin Laden and oil heir George W. Bush.) I fully believe that the neocons are just as ready as Rahm Emmanuel to "never waste a crisis." And yeah, they DO want to dehumanize us at airports and get us conditioned to be subservient to the government. There are of course, terrorists who are Muslim. Also, there are terrorists who are Christian, pagan, Hindi, Buddhist, and a few atheists no doubt. Be watchful, but be real. OK, I'm going to try to be balanced about all this.

Big deal. Tips are between a man and his God. Personally, along with Steve Buscemi, I don't think most wait-people deserve it, even when they do a decent job. They're just doing their job. As for him being rich, what, should he overpay for socks at Walmart, too? Where does it stop?

The writers, showrunners, and directors are responsible for its former popularity and current decline. Groening was never the driving force behind the show. Apart from creating the original characters, of course. You give far too much credit to Groening.

The fact that they put all to the fire, not just one side over the other, makes me appreciate them all the more.
