On the Fact that a Fair Chunk of Warren Jeff's 80-Something Wives Were in the 12 to 14 Age Range When He Married Them

Could we get rid of that "cruel and unusual" clause just this once, please?

On the McCain and Graham Plan to Annihilate Assad and ISIS Simultaneously

There aren't enough spools on the planet to thread that needle, folks......And say what you want about Vladimir Putin. At least the fellow has a coherent plan when it comes to Syria; the fact that he's picked a devil (Assad) and stuck with him. No, it isn't what I would have advocated (namely, nothing/letting them fight it out amongst themselves - when your enemies are slaughtering each other, I say let them) but it's far better than the neocon policy of endless intervention and the Obama policy of endless intervention lite.

On Environmental Nut-Job, Bill McKibben, Uttering this in 1989 -

"The choice of doing nothing - of continuing to burn ever more coal and oil - is not a choice.......It will lead us, if not straight to hell, then straight to a place with a similar temperature.......A few more decades of ungoverned fossil fuel use (and, again, this is 1989) and we burn up, to put it bluntly."............In any other field of endeavor, an individual who is this wrong would have been drummed out of the profession. But because this is environmentalism, a field that has gotten so infused with big money politics and in which the bureaucracy literally feeds off itself (entire government agencies and university departments having since been established), people like McKibben, Hanson, Ehrlich, etc. are not only allowed to spout their bullshit but encouraged to. How fucked is that?

On the Fact that Clinton's "Operation Desert Fox" Happened on the Eve of His Impeachment Proceedings

Well it did buy him some time and so mission accomplished I guess.

On the Fact that Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, and Richard Perle Allegedly Settled on the WMD Rationale for Invading Iraq for "Bureaucratic Reasons"

There aren't enough Tums in the Milky Way Galaxy to quay my indigestion on this one, sorry to say.

On Sean Hannity Quoting Machiavelli Tonight

What's next, Sarah Palin quoting Rousseau? Nancy Pelosi quoting Cicero? Elmer Fudd quoting Bastiat? A fruit-fly quoting Hobbes? I mean, it's gotta be something good, no?

On the Brain-Diseased Concept of Substituting One Pugnacious Philosophy (Incestuous and Crony Capitalism) for Another (Socialism)

I disagree with Albert Camus in that nostalgia is NOT the mark of human. Gullibility, surface-thinking, and fear are (this constant need of man to systematize his way to what he thinks is security but what is little more than cowardice, self-deception, parochialism, and bald idiocy).
