Somebody made a Wikipedia entry about me. Whatdoyaknow?

I, like 70 percent of the rest of this country, hate you. For me, it's the fascism, torture and mass murder, though others may have their own reasons. Despite this, I am going to help you. I have something you can do for me, which will, if you parcel out enough truth and lies in the right order, help to destroy the Jackass in time to save your own despicable party for November. Here's how you do it: Tell the truth about the Oklahoma City Bombing! The truth is that the Democrats' cops set the...

Via Lew. "We may find it easier to grasp what the power of weakness is and how it works on us by first imagining its opposite. Imagine that instead of facing rag-tag bands of poorly equipped and trained insurgents, our Marines and soldiers in Iraq were in a very difficult fight with an opponent similar to themselves, but somewhat stronger. "What would fighting the strong do for them? Being David rather than Goliath, they would see themselves as noble. Every victory would be a cause for genuine...
