MSNBC and Vietnam Syndrome

Nice Item on AD about Good News Happening to Bad People

I must admit that Demosophia has a much greater tolerance for endlessly repeated nonsense than I have. Perhaps it is because, being younger, he simply hasn't seen the news repeat itself often enough. But it is more likely that, being smarter, he possesses the ability to make some sort of sense of it. I started to watch the MSNBC Chris Matthews' Grindhouse episode he writes about, but after about ten seconds I decided that things would be more enlightening over on the Home Shopping Network.

Syria: A Pitiful Vengeful Midget

KUDOS TOThe Laksin Entity for catching the Syrians in mid-weasel:

Mericifully for Syria, this nippy quote, taken from an seething missive to the U.N. security council, from Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa won't get much play in the papers, but it's a weasely bit of braggadocio--perhaps the posterity of a half-century of French occupation.

"Syria is not incapable of creating a resisting and deterring balance," the letter said.

Not to go all meat-headed here, but, man, if only Syria would bring it.

If only.... but the only way countries filled to the brim with cowards like Syria can "bring it" seems to be strapped to the body of a confused child.
