jaunthieThese all read like headlines out of The Onion, but they're not. They're real.
You just can't make stuff like this up (well okay you could, but no one would believe you). Stranger than fiction, indeed.
But at least there's some kind of sick humor in all of that - Onionesque, but there. No humor here, just sickening - and if even a fraction of it is true, we've got even bigger problems than we knew: Justice Department covers up paying ongoing mass murderer as an informant, forces out those who object.
- Washington Monthly: "the only problem with our Iraq strategy is that we haven't declared war on enough people."
- Culture Shock on Capitol Hill: House to Work 5 Days a Week starting in 2007 (If you didn't know, they only work 2.5 days a week now - when they're not in recess, which has been more often than not for the current Congress.)
- Jewish pundit: If you are incapable of taking an oath on the Bible, don't serve in Congress Conflict with his alleged religion aside, it's even more ironic because no religious text is used in the actual swearing in - just in the photo op afterwards.
- Wife uses cell phone to take photos of husband having intercourse with dog, calls police
