The Democrats who are too impotent and cowardly to do something substantive like stopping funding of the war so instead they settled on attacking the troops morale by passing a non-binding resolution in the House (well, two whole Democrats voted against it, while seventeen Republicans voted for it). They basically told the troops, “Nah! Nah! You’re risking your lives and getting shot at for nothing! Nah! Nah!”
This is what I pay taxes for?
Now I’ve realized a truth: I hate the Democrats. I know Jesus says I shouldn’t hate people, like I should love the Democrats but hate their Democratting – ya know, the pissant, cowardly, borderline treasonous stuff they do. But right now I hate them.
Eh… maybe I’ll feel better tomorrow…
UPDATE:
I agree with Captain Ed; those who voted for this resolution aren’t traitors… they’re just functionally the same as traitors but without the intent.

Steve Martin’s classic “Hostages” routine:

I finally got something that I wanted, something that I didn’t have. I saw on TV people having these things, and so many people had them and I thought, Ã…ehey, IÃ…fd like to take some hostages too! So i took some, stuck them in a sack and now they’fre out on the flagpole, and IÃ…’m going to blow them up at midnight.
Unless, if I get my three demands:
A hundred thousand dollars in cash.
A getaway car.
The letterÃ… M stricken from the English language.
See, the trick to getting what you want is to have two realistic demands, and then one crazy, impossible one thatÃ…fd never ever work in a million years. That way, if you get caught, you can plead insanity.

New York Sun:

The letter “X” soon may be banned in Saudi Arabia because it resembles the mother of all banned religious symbols in the oil kingdom: the cross.

Here’s the 64,000 Riyal question: How exactly do you cross out an X? It’s not like you can just X it out, because you end up with an even bigger X.
Or as my friend Uncle Guido says, “In Riyadh, they play Tic Tac Toe with real toes.”

It’s Friday, so it’s time for the wire services to post the non sequitur non-news story of Mahmoud Abbas praying at a mosque.
However, this week’s different… this week we’re going to start a new feature called:

WHAT IS MAHMOUD ABBAS PRAYING FOR?
So, from Mahmoud Abbas’ expressions, can you tell what Mahmoud Abbas is praying for?

Is it:
a) Why is there carpeting in this mosque? Why can’t there be carpeting in the Ramallah mosque he uses all the time?
b) There’s a dog food that makes its own gravy? Since when? And what does it taste like?
c) Leo Laporte to stop calling him about starting a daily podcast.
d) A DNA sample from Anna Nicole Smith. Or, failing that, to lea- [ed- STOP IT!]
e) The Jews to strike oil during their attempts to destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque so there’s at least something worth killing them all over besides rocks and dirt.
or
f) NONE OF THE ABOVE
