“As for OBL getting all of his info from MSM and other left leaning places I wonder if he might have access to the blogers I have been reading for the past month or so.”

I was wondering the same thing when reading Penwil’s ideas, but I don’t know how many left leaning blogs there are in comparison to the those on the right side of things. I visit some of the left’s from time to time to keep my humor up (and to remind myself that my Roger-like migration away from there was on the money), but I don’t have a handle on the largeness of their presence. But the bottom line on AQ is that they probably don’t have sufficient human resources with adequate English skills to distinguish between sarcasm and direct statements, the former being much more prevalent in this virtual world. He aslo may suspect that “unknown” non-MSM sources could easily be as insane and full of sh_t as he must know (deep down somewhere) that he is.

By the way, I did catch a reference in the NY Post of an Arab-democrat named Zogby (not sure if its the same as the Zogby polls or a relative) who believes OBL’s intent was to get Bush re-elected, as it would result in a steep rise in new recruits to his quirky club. If so, and it works, I guess some retrained degree of not-so-sarcastic appreciation will be in order.
