Fox News Finds Iraq’s Missing WMDs Right Where Saddam Hid Them, In Syria, Iran, Sudan, North Korea And Probably France
Ladies and gentlemen, our long national nightmare is over. Fox News “military analyst” retired Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerny has found the Weapons of Mass Destruction, and they are at points east, west, north and south of Syria, because why not. Also, the Russians helped hide them there, and (presumably) also in all the other countries [...]
Richard Cohen Bravely Argues We Should Arm Syrian Rebels Because What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
You know what would be a great idea, says Richard Cohen? You ready? Here goes! Arming the Syrian rebels, many of whom are foreign Salafist fighters! Does that sound like an awesome idea, or WHAT? What could possibly go wrong with that, we armed and trained the Taliban when they were fighting the Soviets, and [...]
Romney Talks War Stuff Without Actually Promising More Wars, What A Wuss
Oh, boy, a Republican presidential candidate just went to give a “major foreign policy address” to a military academy, which as we all know means a whole lot of highly explosive murder-death, for freedom, right? Well, sorry carnage lovers, your 2012 GOP nominee isn’t the sort of guy who, say, makes up comical “Weird” Al-style [...]
‘Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Too Hard To Solve,’ Says Forceful Leader Mitt Romney
A happy Mitt Romney Whitey Tape Day to each and every one of you! By now, you are well aware that Mitt simply does not care for the 47 percent of Americans who, due in part to tax-cutting policies put in place by Republican presidents, don’t count Federal income tax among the array of taxes [...]
Romney Supporters And Syria’s Assad Have Thing In Common: Nails Girls
While the uneducated, common people in America are completely unaware of “how the systems work,” they are now SO relieved to have Romney supporter woman-in-Range-Rover telling them what’s what. “Nails Girls” across our freedom nation listen with bated breath, while buffing elite nails until they bleed (OOPSY!), for directions from their betters on how to [...]
The Wonkette Geopoliticker: Which Five Bloody Dictators Deserve A Date With The Hague?
International Justice Alert: Charles Taylor was sentenced this week by the Hague to serve 50 years in a British Slammer for his heinous acts that he says were done “with honour.” He’s expected to appeal, but chances are he will finish his life behind bars.

Fill In The Blank: John McCain Says U.S. Should _____ Syria
It is now time for your Wonkette Monday Game Post! So: what does war-loving Sen. John McCain think the United States should do about Syria? Negotiate with? Mate with? Appease? Wine and dine? Hug? Kiss? Apply crippling sanctions to? Ignore? Ignore? Ignore? Send aid to? Grundle-pump? Send to private school, basketball camp, or the Applebee’s [...]
National Press Club Suspends Journalist For Questioning Saudis
Hey kids, do you want to grow up to be a journalist? Here’s what journalists do: Spread official lies in the “mainstream media,” and also ignore whatever is actually happening around them, and always show the proper decorum when dealing with the Rich & Powerful. What else? Oh yeah, a good journalist also spends his [...]
Joe Lieberman Already Planning To Invade Syria
Oh, look what you did. You gave Joe Lieberman precedent to invade pretty much any country on the planet under an authoritarian regime. He says it’s “consistent” to invade all these places. Well, he’s not wrong! Lieberman’s days may numbered, and he probably should be ignored by everybody at this point, but somehow we get [...]
Today In Revolutions: Yemen Massacre, Syria Clash, Bahrain Bloodletting, Etc.
The bloodshed seems to be halted in Libya today, hooray for the UN no-fly/no-massacre resolution, but some of the other many Arab Uprisings are still going terribly today: “Syrian security forces dispersed protesters in two towns Friday, state media reported in the first official word of what appeared to be the gravest unrest in years [...]
Hitchens Beaten by Lebanese Thugs, In Lebanon?
Here’s some Hot International Gossip that’s just weird enough to be true, because it’s about Christopher Hitchens drinking while on assignment in some Foreign Land, so it’s already 100% credible: The beloved Washington journalist was supposedly out for a night of boozing in Beirut when he chanced upon a political propaganda poster from the not-so-beloved [...]
