You know, usually when I want to be entertained by the Valkyrie-like shrieking of the Moonbats, I head over to Rabble. But lately I'm finding far more amusement reading the Letters Section of the Toronto Star.

From Peter Buzza Smith:

With the recent escape of Natascha Kampusch in Austria, the "Stockholm Syndrome" has become etched in our consciousness. The syndrome is defined as, "an emotional attachment to a captor formed by a hostage as a result of continuous stress, dependence and a need to co-operate for survival."

Could former Progressive Conservatives, taken captive by Stephen Harper in a hostile takeover, be suffering a similar mindset? Harper's strict party discipline, refusal to let them talk with media and ability to tell his captives what they wish to hear, despite their bondage, are eerily in tune with the syndrome's pathology.

Perhaps Americans, under a similar state of captivity under George W. Bush for the past six years, could enlighten us on the finer details of how, exactly, the Stockholm Syndrome works.

I could not make better stuff up with a bag of magic mushrooms, a copy of Alice in Wonderland and a week off to do it.
