Right it's DC's fault? No, no it's you and your elected reps you send to Congress and 1600 Penn.

That's not how ethics work. It's a grey, grey world and we all live in it.

It's actually not some trumped up thing. You haven't lived in KSA so I'm going to give you a pass here but just because the Sauds are OK with a dignitary doing it doesn't mean the populace or the law isn't rigorously applied to everyone else. There's a considerable discussion taking place in the Gulf about her absence…

It is what we have come to expect from the era. It's not like the MLK Memorial was a win, what with an incorrect quote, grifting by his ultra-grift prone family and whining about his face on the monument.

No one likes the WW2 memorial anyway. Fascist flashbacks are a buzzkill. Also ruins the view.

They do. This faux rage is annoying because it presents the notion that GOP women are some how insurgents "stickin' up" for their sex and they' re not.

I have yet to see the US government shut down every single independent news service nor force them all off cable, murder their journalists or exile them to Gulags for piping up, except in the fever dreams of the ulta-loony-left/right.

And yet lots and lots of women do so daily. It's a sub-cultural fix where I live but it's creepy as fuck and it annoys me.

There's no question the man is an ass, and probably got what he deserved but when legitimate journalists are targeted and murdered by the state, it's also uncomfortable to go after him, at least for those of us who have lived close to Russia, been in its sphere of influence or been/lived there.

No they didn't. A few spoke up (a tiny few) and then backed down.

And then they did.

Well they did, after getting lectured. So not sure why there's a sing and dance about it.

Americans are ridiculous about that war and the one before it. If it's not being fought on your soil then you should probably STFU about lives lost. This blog reminds me of the shame of being American some times.

'Nazi Occupation of the Netherlands Diet'.

For reference—Russia is every bit as touchy as America about its national legacy vis a vis the Second World War.

No spellun learnin in skool!

So a shade above Gawker then?

If only we could do this with Isaac Mizrahi who may or may not know the sun is a star.

Well sure, but if you're from Jersey everything is artificial.

Unless each of those was the dived for kind, I'm thinking you're sporting cultured cheaps. I mean really, pearls are, after all for the poor anyway. If you can't wear 20lbs of precious stones (no fucking colored diamonds nastiness) on your neck you might as well just stuff your head in the oven.
