Time magazine has become a laughing stock under the puerile guidance of managing editor Richard Stengel, who I can say has the intellect of an iguana. Now let’s cut to an example of why NO ONE reads Time anymore: In an effort to re-elect their boy toy Barky they did an issue on “look how cool our boy Barky is because he allowed men with guns to shoot Bin Fuckladin.” In an effort to lie to their readers and suggest that G.W. Bush had nothing to do with the capture and kill of bin FuckLaden, Time put this header...

If you thought NASA stood for National Aeronautics and Space Administration you live pre-Barack Obama as potus. The man who looks destined to turn the White House into Hyde Park Romper Room has told the head of NASA to make Muslim outreach his TOP priority.

Charles Bolden, a retired United States Marines Corps major-general and former astronaut, said in an interview with al-Jazeera that Nasa was not only a space exploration agency but also an "Earth improvement agency".

A while back, I struck up a conversation with the elegantly dressed man sitting to my right at a dinner party. We were talking about the cost/benefit ratios of war. It is hard to say war is beneficial, but the reality can be—for example, WWII halted the eradication of millions of Jews--a benefit.

I took the measure of George W. Bush before he took office. As Gov. of Texas, Bush was said to have mocked--in high-pitched female voice-- Karla Faye Tucker. (Tucker was an admitted killer with a most troubling past, who was executed by the state of Texas under Bush’s watch.) Bush mocked her attempts to have him grant her a pardon. Tucker Carlson, a very conservative media guy and no relation to Karla, was the one to make this accusation, and never for a minute did I doubt the episode.

Quiz question: What was Bush’s first act in office?

Answer: A symbolic one.
An executive order that reinstated Ronald Reagan’s Mexico City Policy. On George W’s first day in office, he thanked the folks that brung him to the dance, and returned to American policy the ordination that prohibits non-governmental organizations o family planning clinics that receive US dollars from the mere mention of the A word—even when the physical health of the mother is threatened. Under Ronnie it was the Mexico City Policy; Bush resurrected it as the Global Gag Rule.
