Love his stuff - yes, he can be described as controversial, if you're an idiot. For those of us with half a brain cell and the ability to use it, he's bloody hillarious.

Must dig out his Dawn of the Dumb book, actually.

'1 in 5 Americans believe Obama is a Muslim'

Good to know the education system in America works -.-

I was planning a year in America studying as part of my degree.

Thinking about it, maybe I'll give it a miss... Don't want to become entirely thick.

I don't know whether to agree with him or not, on one hand the American media has once again conned people into believing something its not, on the other hand a 2 minute walk is still pretty close, and I don't see why the building could just be put somewhere else in New York

Its not really the distance its the fact ... its not a mosque (i think i spelt it correctly this time ) . Its a multi faith recreational center being built by Muslims . Its for every one .
The mediums have become confused and sadly the soundbite era has made people fare less likely to question or check for themselves what comes out of their TV, radio , website .
