Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This really is a full service blog.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

He really is that stupid.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Seems someone agrees with Kofi Annan that Saddam should be tried in an ‘International Court:’

Saddam Hussein’s family wants the former leader to be tried by an international court instead of a special tribunal set up by the U.S.-installed Iraqi Governing Council, one of his daughters said Tuesday.

Raghad Saddam Hussein said her father appeared sedated in footage released Sunday by the U.S.-led occupation authority after his capture near his home town of Tikrit.

    Clark wanting to defend Saddam is no big surprise. If the US accuses anyone of crimes against humanity, you can bet Ramsey Clark will be knocking on his door to defend him.

    Verges is the international equivalent of F. Lee Bailey: I especially like “he must be presumed innocent”, which is not the way the Code Napoleon of his native France works.

    I am perfectly willing to have anybody who wants to defend Saddam. The only thing I ask the lawyers to do is defend him before an Iraqi tribunal and stand liable for any violations of Iraqi law or legal ethics during the trial. Clark and Verges are not lawyers, but propagandists. They have never been held liable for their violations of international law. Let there be a moonbat convention in Baghdad and let the Iraqis try the criminals among them.

    Hey, I have no problem with using international procedures here; namely, Turkish pre-trial detention facilities, North Korean interrogation techniques, and Chinese execution methods (including billing Saddam’s family for the bullet or rope).

    Never let it be said that we shouldn’t share. ]:-)
