Keller the Killer: Re-Visiting a Modest Proposal
In the wake of a much-belated and truly odious non-apology from bloodthirsty child-killer and warmonger Bill Keller, I am compelled to re-publish a six-year old modest proposal for the New York Times. (And folks, it’s really worth reading Keller’s sterile, self-serving, bullshit, if you can stand the way it’s going to make you sick in [...]
Read More..>>The Arab League Also Needs to STFU.
Thanks a lot, guys:
CAIRO — The Arab League secretary general, Amr Moussa, deplored the broad scope of the U.S.-European bombing campaign in Libya and said Sunday that he would call a league meeting to reconsider Arab approval of the Western military intervention.
Moussa said the Arab League’s approval of a no-fly zone on March 12 was [...]
Note to the Republicans: STFU
I think I’ve made my feelings on the Libyan adventure quite clear, but if there’s one group of people I don’t need to hear from it’s the Republicans:
ome Republicans suggested that Mr. Obama had waited too long to protect the rebels against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, had been too reluctant to employ American power and had [...]
QOTD
Bill Hangley, on FB:
Can’t build a road. Can’t fix a bridge. Can’t lay train tracks. Can’t pay teachers. Can’t help you with college. Can’t patrol Wall Street. Can’t raise taxes. Can’t protect entitlements. Can’t find Bin Laden. Can’t end the two wars we already started. Bomb Libya? Sure, we can do that.
I’ll add that if, [...]

Anne-Marie Slaughter Wants to Intervene in Libya
Anne Marie Slaughter in the New York Times:
PRESIDENT Obama says the noose is tightening around Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. In fact, it is tightening around the Libyan rebels, as Colonel Qaddafi makes the most of the world’s dithering and steadily retakes rebel-held towns. The United States and Europe are temporizing on a no-flight zone while the [...]
Don Rumsfeld Got Soldiers Killed for Something He Didn’t Even Believe In
This is the piece of shit the US Constitution Center has honored with a book tour appearance:
Donald Rumsfeld vowed to fight a “different kind of war.” In the days following the 9/11 attacks, the secretary of defense spoke about how America’s success in Afghanistan depended on the U.S. military being seen as liberators, not infidel [...]
Noted War Criminal Donald Rumsfeld to be Celebrated, Honored at US Constitution Center
Why not re-animate Hitler, Pol Pot, and Pinochet and invite them while you’re at it?
Rumsfeld, of course, is former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who will appear at the National Constitution Center on Feb. 9, as the first stop on a national book tour for Known and Unknown, his soon-to-be published memoir.
The choice of title suggests [...]
Remember Why You Need to Vote for Democrats
We Americans have short memories: here’s a little refresher as to who ruined the economy; who started a needless wasteful war in Iraq; who was warned months before September 11 that bin laden was determined to strike in the US with airplanes; who it was that turned a record surplus into a crushing deficit; [...]

DUUUUUUH, hoocouldanode???:
Scores of documents made public by WikiLeaks, which has disclosed classified information about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, provide a ground-level look — at least as seen by American units in the field and the United States’ military intelligence — at the shadow war between the United States and Iraqi militias backed by [...]
