Monday potpourri.

bustinchops has suddenly discovered Republicans' blaming of Vietnam on hippies also works nowadays:

Ostammer is losing the war in Afghanistan just as he’s doing nothing to help Iraqi forces re-affirm their slipping grip and just as the Pakistan tinderbox approaches explosion.

Ostammer won’t do squat about any of this because he doesn’t want money spent on the military. He wants that money spent on his “redistribution of wealth” (reparations) scheme.

diamond6 doesn't care much for the truth of Tom Ridge's accusations of politically manipulated terror alerts:

I thought Ridge and Bush were close friends? If he really said this he is nothing more than a traitor.

It's traitorous, no matter if it is true or not! A true friend and patriot allows the country to crumble, so long as his' loyal!

SpaceBar makes an interesting comparison to the Obama's vacation:

Louis XIV wasn’t as extravagant.

Sheesh.

Alas, context shows Kansas58 is serious when he says:

The Nazi Brown shirts were gay.

No proof, of course.

P-Marlowe is sure things would be different re: the Lockerbie bomber if Reagan were in charge:

If Reagan were president or maybe even GWB we would have sent f-16 planes to divert that flight to Guantanamo.

Freepers' fantasy presidents are all about international incidents to avenge 200 Americans! This works because in their heads we would totally nuke Scotland if they got all pissy about it as well.

America: Superpower cauyse everyone else is ashes!

exit82 knows what "I want to extend best wishes to Muslims in America and around the world. Ramadan Kareem" really means:

Using the Ovaltine secret message decoder ring:

“I am Muslim, just like you, except I cannot reveal it yet. Be patient.”

When he mentioned his Christian faith, I went wee-wee.

Not sure what the deal is with that last line...
