Those state troopers forgot one part about Chappelle's KKK outfit that's sorta crucial in order to be funny: he wore it while being black. None of the troopers involved in the story are black. Haha oops we're just liars.

So the Clinton position on the assault weapons ban, duck hunting, paralyzed children and what policy she will pursue is: "Vote for me!" At least we always know where she stands.

Skipping the Olympics/opening ceremonies is ridiculous... if you want to protest China's actions, boycott their products. Check out how many things you buy come from China- it's really something.

So, now those 1,300 mutineers are no longer even nominally under the control of the Iraqi government. We've trained them, armed the, equipped them, and sent them into as-Sadr's arms.

I have zero sympathy for snowmobilers. Why anyone would want to break the serene silence of the snow in the wilderness with those dreadful things is beyond me.
