"WE ought to get out of the Geneva Convention . Considering where fighting a none signitory group of monsters. This would cut off the Supreme court at the knee’s.Since they just cut off the heads of prisinors anyway. Why do we bother?

Next get serious about Iran before they nuke Isreal. Fight them. Syria & this whole evil allaince if need be. As well as Pakistan where the poisen sack resides. With real allies.

Start treason trial against the media that have given comfort if not secret information to our enemmies. The NYT , comes to mind."

or

"We need to announce to the world that we will simply no longer allow the following (not an all-inclusive list):

  1. nukes in anybody else’s hands unless we approve it

  2. violence against citizens on a large scale (e.g. Rwanda, Sudan, fill-in-the-blank-of-wherever-Muslims-are-killing-everyone-else)

  3. the wholesale teaching of children that the US, Israel, etc are bad, and that killing infidels is OK"

or

“What give us the right? See above; gov’t has a duty to protect citizens, and the wacko actions of Muslims and Commies are endangering our citizens unacceptably.”
Gah!

After reading that, I’m getting ready to wage a War Against Bad Grammar. Seriously, we need a Gitmo for this kind of thing.

Geez, it reads like a Little Green Footballs “best of”…

Well, apparently his political views have now spilled over completely into his fiction. Here’s what Publisher’s Weekly has to say about his new novel, Empire:

It’s like right-wing porno.

Astonishing. I love how he says his book is a warning about the dangers of divisive rhetoric, too.

“Rube” and “Cole?” I feel like scrubbing myself throroughly with Cliche-B-Gon[sup]TM[/sup] just from reading the synopsis.

Funny, they placed my marrigae license in a really nice (a little Baroque for my tastes, but nice) frame, and then proceeded to arrange my wedding pix thematically, with pithy little word baloons!

Oh, and they threatened to throw out all of my plaid and checked oxfords.

–with the help of special guest star,*** DIRK PITT!***

You mean Dirk Pitt[sup]®[/sup].

Is it safe to mention Pitt® in the Pit? Won’t that cause a black hole or something?

It depends on which one is inside which. In one case, they simply destroy each other, in the other case they rip a hole in the fabric of reality, dumping themselves, their contents and you into the Ethereal Plane.

Does it end with a mano-a-dyko battle to the death between Rube and Hillary Clinton? I’m picturing the climax involving Rube driving a flaming cross into Hillary’s heart and then throws her body off the Empire State Building, where it crushes Bill to death as he’s about to acrtivate the Librul Satellites That Will Simultaneously Abort All Fetuses And Turn All True Blooded Americans Into Homos.

Am I close?
