Go west, hateful man.

From Yahoo News
Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza, who was jailed for stirring up religious hatred, has been refused permission to appeal to the House of Lords over a decision to extradite him to America on alleged terrorism charges.
Senior judge Sir Igor Judge (who will be  Lord Chief Justice from 1st October) refused to certify that his case raised a point of law of public importance to go before the law lords, the highest court in the land.
The Egypt-born preacher from west London still has to complete serving a seven-year jail term in Britain for inciting murder and race hate.
The US authorities want him to face trial on charges which include providing support to al Qaida.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith formally approved the extradition in February.

Thanks to Alan for saving me the trouble of having to Google for a photo of the one-eyed Hamza (not to be confused with the "Blind Shiek", Omar Abdel-Rahman).  It would be "far too easy a target, in too many obvious and well-trodden ways" to make sport of the judge's Christian, or sur, names or to trod upon the grave of Marty Feldman because of a "banal" "impulse" to cite his role as "Eye Gore" in Young Frankenstein.
 
Seriously, there was nothing amusing about this:
 
 
(I remembered the ugly "incident", although I had to be informed by Google of the principal's mellifluous name, Mahmdouh Mahmud Salim, and that he was described as "Osama's best friend.")

Erradumb: At least I didn't write "to boldly trod," but it was to no avail; shoulda' been, OMG, tread, not trod, when I did trod and fail.
