| No More Mister Nice Blog and the War on Murdoch-ism Posted: 05 May 2010 11:56 AM PDT Leftist blogger No More Mister Nice Blog has a current offering entitled "Oh, Now It's OK To Blame Terrorism on U.S. Actions?" What provoked him? A New York Post article stating that the Times Square bomber claimed to be retaliating for drone attacks against the Taliban in Pakistan.
