Welcome to Loonyville. It's a place where ones imagination rules. Reality just won't do when you can replace it with what wish was reality.
In Loonyville, appeasing and ignoring your enemies will make them go away instead of just encouraging them.
In Loonyville, holding tax cuts for the poor and middle class hostage as a means to soak the rich is a great idea.
In Loonyville, paying people not to work helps the economy.
In Loonyville, people upset with health care are much more likely to set off truck bombs than radical Islamists.
In Loonyville, banning guns will make bad guys stop using them.
In Loonyville, tax cheats write the tax code and run the treasury.
In Loonyville, a state university can hold a Dreidel spinning event, but a German Christmas Holiday Market can no longer display the word "Christmas" on its sign.
In Loonyville, publicly "condemning" the man who published thousands of classified documents is a proportionate response.
And the list goes on.
As ridiculous a place as Loonyville seems, we can all call it home.

Here's another good one:
In Looneyville, the "Paper of Record" refuses to publish private emails (just private, not classified or top secret) from the Climategate scandal because they were "acquired illegally", and yet one year later they deem classified and top secret documents from the Wikileaks project appropriate to publish. (See Best of the Web about halfway down the page under "Two Papers in One")
I guess if it only threatens credibility of climate scientists, it's wrong to expose that, but if it threatens diplomacy, and by extension life and limb of Americans everywhere, then printing that information is the responsible thing to do. Makes perfect sense.
