The same people who are bloviating about how a diplomatic solution to Iran’s nuclear weapons program is BAD are the same morons who told the American people that the United States could conquer the Middle East in a matter of weeks by invading Iraq.
And who said that China would never join the war to fight for North Korea.
And that the Cubans were going to rise up and join the invaders.
And that North Vietnam was under supplied and on the verge of collapsing.
And that the people of Iran loved the Shah.
And that we need to eliminate any remotely possible threat of a communist takeover in central America, because the Soviet Union is stronger than ever.
And that the Muslim Jihadists were easily manipulable country-folk who hate the godless Soviets but appreciated the Christian Americans and would be easy to tame if we could get the U.S.S.R. out of the Islamic world.
And that Bush the First didn’t “finish the job”.
And that Clinton is being criminally negligent by cutting military spending in the face of the growing threat of anti-American sentiment in the third world.
And that the only way to “prevent another 9/11” is overthrowing unfriendly governments in the Muslim world, which shouldn’t take long, because, as we say, Muslims are unsophisticated simpletons (even more so than the Vietnamese were supposed to be), who will be easy to steamroll.
These people say lots of things. And haven’t been right yet.
You may have forgotten about half this list and now you are depressed and for that I am sorry.

“In 18 months I’m turning over the keys. I want to make sure I am turning over the keys to somebody who is serious about the serious problems the country faces and the world faces,” Obama said. “And that requires on both sides, Democrat and Republican, a sense of seriousness and decorum and honesty,” he added.
Obama is just messing with the Republicans, he has no intention of turning the keys over to anyone. #PresidentForLife
Friends, I never bought into the Christian Hell because, really, what needs to be worse than Khmer Rouge Cambodia, Rwanda, Buchenwald or Philadelphia in August? But I would like to see a little room in the Twilight Zone, where smug little pricks like Huckabee and Trump and Santorum have to watch TV news of smart, rational legislators in a Jeffersonian representative democracy, elected by an educated people, all working towards improving a technologically-sophisticated humanistic moral civilization. Forever. That’s exactly the reverse of the parade of nonsense on my TV. Everyday. Forever.
Pastor E. Dewey Smith of the House of Hope, Greater Travelers Rest church in Decatur gave an impassioned sermon, posted to YouTube on Thursday, in which he slammed church leaders for judging gay people but “you change wives like we change underwear.”He went on to criticize the habit of picking and choosing which parts of the Bible to adhere to, based on what is socially advantageous or convenient, but ignore it when it gets in the way of business.
Thanks to my friend Andrew for bringing this hilarity to my attention.
Two veterans tackled an elderly protester aka victim of FOX News elder abuse – who rises like a corpse from the earth during President Obama’s Tuesday speech on veterans’ issues in Pittsburgh. The rightfully angry vets tore the zombie’s sign, which actually read: “The Emperor Benghazi Has No Clothes”, from his hands. Video footage by NBC captured the brief scuffle, which occurred as Obama was addressing the national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Benghazi!
Then they all joined hands and sang:
There once was a something Benghazi,
That something-or-other Benghazi.
Benghazi forever
So Obama’s never!
Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi!
Now, what is this exactly? Is this millennial irony? The Gold’s Gym shirt flopping over his pasty, noodle arms. The acid-washed jeans and that HAT plus shammy, what?And are those gourds hanging on the wall? Or are they weaponized butt plugs? His back up plan was very confused.

Laws Have Been so eviscerated by the punishment-obsessed rightwing that you would almost need to be hallucinating and eating your own feces to meet the legal test of insanity. At trial, the insanity defense generally hinges on a person’s inability to distinguish right from wrong or understand the “nature and quality” of his act. Being profoundly mentally ill is not enough. You have to be deemed “legally “insane.”
Just how crazy must a person be to be ruled incompetent for execution in the United States?
