Good Line

...from Pete Coors on Meet the Press this morning. Not an exact quote, but something like "Why would we want to bring into the coalition countries that have been working with the enemy?"

By the way, has anyone noted the irony of calling the coalition, which consisted largely of countries that weren't on the take from Saddam and the UN Oil for Palaces program, the "coalition of the bribed"?

Noticed yes, noted no. I guess somethings just aren't mentioned in polite society.

My conservative hero always says of the left, to paraphrase, if you want to know what they think or how they operate look at what they ACCUSE others of doing.

Clever annotation of a leftist slogan on one of the ubiquitous "No War for Oil" signs.

Just a hyphen made it "No-War for Oil".

(The same vehicle kept the same sign for months, apparently either not noticing the defacing or connecting any dots.)

I think the what Steve suggests is more universal. It seems like the biggest lies are the ones that get the most emphasis. If you want to know what something isn't, look at what it is claimed to be. I've seen this so often (perhaps because I look for it) that I've come to believe the truth of it.
