Hey, might as well - everyone else is ripping Paul, as they always do when anyone gets too big for his britches. Kristol is particularly caustic, defending in an oblique manner a war that cost 600,000 American lives...

In the process, it provides us with a glimpse into how difficult it is to convince Americans that Islam is not the black sheep of religions...

GP: I don't participate actively in expressing political views and always turn down the offer of appearing on bills for political causes. Surely, everybody's opinions on politics matter, apart from very stupid people, who should shut the f?!k up... HugoDrax Thu, 16 Aug 2007 03:50:10 GMT http://scholarsandrogues.wordpress.com/2007/10/10/how-stupid I often think the only thing sillier than the average American is the person he elects to represent him. As you might expect, I've read the Bible, and have often wondered at those who have difficulty grasping its stance on the material world's relation to the celestial...

And Rep. Waxman is promising hearings on Blackwater's activities in Iraq...

Enjoy... HugoDrax Sat, 01 Dec 2007 12:14:58 GMT http://www.scholarsandrogues.com/2007/10/29/the-horror-is-getting-to-matt-taibbi Exclusive Q&A with writer Taibbi. Snippet - "If and when I ever get to be Interior Minister, one of my first acts is going to be the putting to death of anyone who thinks God interferes in the outcome of things like sporting events and elections. I'd want to have a giant shark tank built expressly for this purpose. Just throw them in there and then dump a couple of barrels of cow blood in the water..."

"Karl Rove figured out a long time ago that the way to take an intellectually incurious, draft-averse, naughty playboy in a flight jacket with chewing tobacco in his back pocket and make him governor of Texas was to sell him as God's anointed..."

Does it ever end? Former White House aide Monica Goodling today testified before a House panel that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales did in fact see a list of fired-ass US Attorneys, after he said publicly that he had not. See for yourself... HugoDrax Wed, 23 May 2007 22:37:24 GMT http://jazz-from-hell.blogspot.com/2007/06/bloomberg-also-thinks-constitution-is.html New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg says Sen. Barack Obama isn't eligible to be president due to his lack of experience, if this Politico report is to be believed. Incidentally, you may have heard that Bloomberg is also interested in running for president. Being old, rich, and Prince of the City, he's a natural choice over Obama, he might suggest. But the Constitution of the United States list these and only these requirements to be president... HugoDrax Thu, 28 Jun 2007 23:54:40 GMT
