Muslim male extremists stole my Neiman-Marcus cookie recipe

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

Malkin defends a woman in Nashville who forwarded a piece of chain e-mail and was disciplined by her employer, the city.

Metro Finance Director David Manning said Lazo-Bell used ''poor judgment'' in forwarding ''such an inappropriate message.'"

Unfortunately, Lazo-Bell seems to agree with those accusing her of wrongdoing. She has issued a pathetic apology...The city of Nashville owes Lazo-Bell an apology, not the other way around.

And just what did Lazo-Bell forward that caused such an uproar? Well, it's a quiz. And not just any quiz. Here's a sample question:

In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by:

(a) Scooby Doo

(b) The Tooth Fairy

(c) Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid with dynamite left over from the
train job.

(d) Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

(Michelle links to the quiz, a file charmingly titled muzzie_quiz.htm).

The quiz, presumably, shows the left's "backwards" approach to the idea of racial profiling. If only we'd admit that all terrorists are Muslim extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40, we could really get down to the business of homeland security.
