Bonfire of the Absurdities in News New Format

A man, a can and the end of the road

A man, a can and the end of the road. “The Middle East may be entering an extraordinarily risky period. The stakes are no longer ratings on TV shows or popularity with the Base. This is about avoiding a disaster. It is now about preventing a real catastrophe. Let’s hope that Washington in its collective wisdom still knows how to recognize when it’s in a hole and stop digging.” Don’t bet the farm on that… not even an ant farm.

I knew I had seen President Vanilli on MTV!

If Syrian chemical wepons where targetted, there would have been an immediate retaliation by Iran if not by Syria.
Israel is bombing the Syrian "freedom fighters" because they realize they would be the next target.
