In my country, we'd section people like Malkin under the Mental Health Act and not allow them access to cutlery, far less computers. Reading her blog always makes me feel like one of those Victorians visiting an asylum to point and laugh at the lunatics. On the subject of great choices in clothing, I went to Vietnam & Cambodia on holiday a few years back. It was sunny, and my personal "top cover" isn't what it once was, so I invested in the only sun hat I could find - dark green, all-round brim, red star on the front. I was wandering around Angkor when I met a very pleasant American chap who informed me that "damn, son, last time I saw a hat like that I had to shoot the guy wearing it". He was a very nice guy; he'd brought his wife over to show her some of the places he'd been sent way back when and they'd decided to take in some of Cambodia too. But I left the hat at home when we had a weekend in New York earlier this year... I love America.

I'm watching season 3 of the Muppets, and the whole huff and puff rather reminds me of Sam the Eagle. Tempest in a tea-pot, frankly. I’d be much more annoyed by a Che Guevara tee-shirt.

When is a scarf so much more than a scarf? Apparently when it’s worn by America’s culinary cutie, Rachel Ray, and said scarf slightly resembles the Palestinian keffiyeh.
After an uproar led by notable conservatives such as Michelle Malkin…
