China has no intention of going to war with the United States. They would have made a lot of noise about it, but they wouldn't have done anything.

Honestly, this is what I expected Bush would do back in 2000. I didn't think he was a total idiot. I appear to have been proven wrong.



I wasn't aware we were stealing all the oil from Iraq. Is that rhetoric or hyperbole?



Hey sh*tlips, don't bother debating with these cameltoes. They are about as thick headed as can be
Well, it's true

Everytime I see these words all I can think of is that phrase coming out of the dark in Blazing Saddles: "it's twooo, it's twooo ..."

Kaneman, the elegant statesman as always.

Edit.

Actually, I think Kaneman thinks of itself as conservative. Objectively, this is humorous.
