Our task — ordeal if you will — is that we must make war so godawfully terrible to our enemies, and the rewards of peace and reform so humanely sweet to our friends, that the vast middle in between will have no problem choosing sides. -- Victor Davis Hanson

John Kerry seems to own the exclusive sphincter boy title, don't you think? And that fairminded Kos is quite a miserable failure, too.
Any woman with a sister-in-law who has more money than she does will most definitely be a farbisseneh. A farbissener, or female farbisseneh, is an embittered person, someone who is sour about anything and everything.
A farbissener is always irritable. He's the guy who feels the world should send him checks for nothing. That he should not have to get up in the morning and go to work. There has never been a bus that has arrived on time for a farbissener. A farbissener is someone that feels you owe him something, but doesn't know what, and wants it right away. Even if he got it, he still wouldn't be happy. Because then he couldn't complain. If a farbissener can't complain, he might drop dead on the spot.
I wonder how much coverage this will get from our Nobel Prizewinning ex-President:
Dhimmi Carter thinks that if he had been re-elected in 1980, he could have solved the Middle East problem. The New York Times reports Carter employed an interesting turn of phrase in making the argument. He said:
"Had I been elected to a second term, with the prestige and authority and influence and reputation I had in the region, we could have moved to a final solution."
Remember when the press made hay with candidate Bush not knowing the President of Afghanistan? Yesterday, Dean mentioned the twelve-years-defunct Soviet Union four times.
On yesterday's "Hardball," Dean was asked by Joseph Nye, dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, what he would do about Iran. Here's what he said:
The key, I believe, to Iran, is pressure through the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is supplying much of the equipment that Iran I believe mostly likely is using to set itself along the path of developing nuclear weapons. We need to use that leverage with the Soviet Union, and it may require us buying the equipment the Soviet Union was ultimately going to sell to Iran, to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
The Governor of landlocked Vermont, like the governor of landlocked Arkansas, is a poor choice for managing a nation.

SALT LAKE CITY -- A lawyer for a Utah man with five wives argued Monday that his bigamy convictions should be thrown out following a Supreme Court decision decriminalizing gay sex.
The nation's high court in June struck down a Texas sodomy law, ruling that what gay men and women do in the privacy of their homes is no business of government.
It's no different for polygamists, argued Tom Green's attorney, John Bucher, to the Utah Supreme Court.
"It doesn't bother anyone, (and with) no compelling state interest in what you do in your own home with consenting adults, you should be allowed to do so," Bucher said.
The state said the court should reject the appeal because Green failed to raise the issue during his trial more than two years ago or anywhere else along the judicial path since then.
Green, who is not affiliated with any church, was convicted of four counts of bigamy and one count of criminal nonsupport of his 30 children in August 2001.
Besides his five-year sentence, he faces up to life in prison after being convicted of child rape for having sex with one of his five wives when she was 13.
"He preys on young girls," assistant Utah Attorney General Laura Dupaix said. "This case is about a man who marries young girls and calls it religion."
No more. 
It is.
