Spooky Prayers

I have wondered in this blog exactly what Tucker Carlson is. He has no apparent knowledge of anything, so he's not a specialist. He is shallow, uninformed, pretentious, pontificating...hmmm. He should have his OWN BLOG! Anyway, I could not let this nonsense pass by; an excerpt from a TC ( the exact opposite of PC ...or any-kind-of-C, for that matter) interview about Muslims praying in an airline terminal: CARLSON: Oh, what a -- that's such a crock. I mean that is -- I fly -- you know, I fly more than anybody I know, practically. There are always people from south Asia and the Middle East on planes I fly. Nobody says anything. These guys were praying, standing up praying, and it freaked people out. I'm not defending that. I'm merely saying it's not just that they were brown or looked Muslim, they were doing something other people didn't understand, and it spooked the other people. I mean, don't you understand how that could happen? http://mediamatters.org/items/200611270010 Firstly, I admire Tucker's use of the concept "crock". I could never quite get it right. Secondly, it is well known that potential suicide bombers and airplane hijackers have a ritual which they go through to attract attention to themselves. It consists on standing up and speaking something incomprehensible and ensure that other people will call the cops. Thirdly, I guess I have to agree with TC that praying in public is spooky. If you live in a society that many of it citizens consider Christian, or Judaeo-Christian, or some other hyphenated combination of Greek and Latin words, to observe prayer is to be spooked! No doubt about it. In fact, I have written a screenplay for Eli Roth to direct called "Thanksgiving" ( soon to be followed by "Thanksgiving: the Sequel" ) wherein all sorts of spooky mayhem occurs centered around the public saying of grace at Thanksgiving. I shiver to think of it. Ooooh...what if those scary Muslims had prayed in public on Halloween? Brrrr...
