Oh, and while I'm mentioning Sully, I read with great amusement this little blurb about the "British left's new litmus test of being anti-Israel".

Which fits in nicely with the litmus test here in Blogland of being anti-Palestinian, doesn't it?

And by the way, Sully and Ian- most leftists I know are pissed off about Chechnya, not the least reason being that it's ignored by the mainstream media.
