As David Brooks noticed today, these two cities contain the entire future of the attempt to break the back of Islamist terror and Muslim autocracy. Right now, they’re the only stories that really matter.
KERRY AND CUBA: Another confusing, politically self-defeating mess.
QUOTE FOR THE DAY: “I’m more old-fashioned than a lot of women … I don’t view abortion as just a nothing. It is stopping the process of life.” – Teresa Heinz Kerry, in an astonishing puff-piece/Kerry campaign ad in alleged “newsmagazine,” Newsweek. You realize just how completely in Kerry’s tank the editors are when you read the small side-bar on Kerry’s former aggrieved wife, Julia Thorne. Annulment? What annulment?
MARRIAGE WATCH: A wedding dress goes on eBay. Put up there by the groom. His comments:
I found my ex-wife’s wedding dress in the attic when I moved. She took the $4000 engagement ring but left the dress. I was actually going to have a dress burning party when the divorce became final, but my sister talked me out of it. She said, “That’s such a gorgeous dress. Some lucky girl would be glad to have it. You should sell it on EBay. At least get something back for it.” So, this is what I’m doing. I’m selling it hoping to get enough money for maybe a couple of Mariners tickets and some beer. This dress cost me $1200 that my drunken sot of an ex-father-in-law swore up and down he would pay for but didn’t so I got stuck with the bill. Luckily I only got stuck with his daughter for 5 years. Thank the Lord we didn’t have kids. If they would have turned out like her or her family I would have slit my wrists. Anyway, it’s a really nice dress as you can see in the pictures. Personally, I think it looks like a $1200 shower curtain, but what do I know about this.
Actually, I think it looks fabulous. And that has nothing to do with the Vicodin I’m on.
POO-POO PLATTER: An online compendium of toilet humor. I’m trying really hard not to laugh these days (it hurts like hell). But you might feel like a break.
