  • Bill Kristol is Always Wrong

    Just remember that. Bill Kristol is always wrong about everything. His shit-eating grin is almost as impervious to reality as Dick Cheney’s baby-eating grin. Best comment on Kristol: He reminds me of a German saying: “The face that begs for a fist in it”.

  • Kim Jong-Il's Orwellian Truman Show Nightmare

    Peter Hitchens visits North Korea: But where Orwell’s ministry was a glittering white, the abandoned Ryugyong Hotel is a dingy dun-brown, its hundreds of glassless windows like sockets gazing at what its maker, the Great Leader Kim Il Sung, has wrought. … Every machine in the country is close to breakdown.
