Salafis Throwing Bombs: How American and British Planners Partnered With Al-Qaeda Affiliated Groups At the Start of the Syrian Civil War

For One Day, Protestors Stopped the War Machine
I’ve attended most of the major antiwar protests in Washington since 9/11. At a 2005 protest, a cop tried to whack me on the head with a wooden pole. At a 2007 protest, I snapped a picture showing George W. Bush hanging next to the U.S. Capitol. But my favorite protest was a potent little ruckus that I almost missed.

The route for the jaunt started on the National Mall, passing by the Smithsonian, heading toward the World War II Memorial and points...

It’s a Metaphor, You Idiots
Clint Eastwood is not saying that Atlanta Journal reporter Kathy Scruggs traded sex for new stories. He's saying that she was a whore. This is entirely accurate. And she was not alone. Kathy Scruggs was and will always be a disgrace to journalism and humanity. Just like all the people who are rushing to defend her now. I mean, don't get me wrong, she's got nothing on David Sanger or Michael Gordon. But it is what it...
