What the hell is this country coming to?

It blows my mind that Obama can say that another human being can be God's punishment for choosing to have sex, and yet it gets nowhere near the coverage of his "elitist" gaffe.

Just because I disagree with someone- even vehemently- I try not to get upset about them, mostly because if I did that, I would spend a lot of my time upset.

Also, because I'm skeptical enough about my own ability to parse what I think (there's a reason I use that signature line), that if I do get upset, I'm willing to entertain the notion that my upset may say more about me than it does about the person upsetting me. Of course, I could be right about this, too.

Then, along comes Nick Kristof with a column that states and supports all this better than I can:

An incredulous jeemie is oddly appealing to me.

Isn't this how we got into Iraq in the first place, by TPTB picking and choosing the data that supported their views and ignoring or downplaying the data that didn't?
