Good News, Not-so-good News, and Bad

Mass Murderer. Great News! Finally! The Serbs have come up with that fugitive–killer-creep, Radovan Karadzic (rhymes with son-of-a-bitch) after leaving him on the run for 13 years (far longer than he should have been allowed to live). Seems this creep will be sent to the Hague so the world that has nearly forgotten him can get a review of the genocide he led in Bosnia.

John McCain. We have often in these page speculated upon whether the North Vietnamese might still possess his brain (although for what useful purpose?). Well, there might be some question whether we would want this man conducting our policy in the Middle East when he refers, as he did the other day, to “the Iraq/Pakistan border.” Will somebody show this dork a map? What’s next, the Italy/Norway border?

Gas. Republicans, who have done so much to give us the gas crisis, have launched a new slogan to justify drilling anywhere: “Find More, Use Less.” Brilliant. All you need to do is consult some charts about gas prices and fuel usage over the recent decades. These incompetent dolts should take an Econ 101 course. American’s aren’t going to lower their consumption if you add to the supply hoping to lower prices. They’re “addicted”! Don’t you idiots listen to your president?
