My cousin, a nurse, just sent me the following from the British Comedian Pat
Condell:

I had never before heard of Pat Condell. I looked him up on Wikipedia and
see that he probably never graduated from high school, let alone college.

He is certainly no historian, but he seems to have thought for himself about
many of the issues surrounding the Ground Zero Mosque. While I wouldn't
invoke him as an authority, I did find him his humor provocative. Do many
Americans agree with his point of view? Whenever anyone conducts a poll, we
learn that more Americans agree with this point of view than not.
Why is the City of New York going to allow it to be built anyway? Perhaps a
majority in that City want it built -- I don't know -- I'll have to ask Eric
-- or perhaps the Mayor of New York is invoking his executive privilege, in
which case it would comprise a political decision overriding a popular
opinion.
