You'll have bad times.  And he'll have good times.  —  This Unity, New Hampshire, event was the ultimate in political mortification for Hillary Clinton.  —  I may be crazy.  But Bill Clinton is not going to let himself be humiliated.  He's in talks with McCain before long if he's not already.

Amnesty International Hits Bottom with Phony Gitmo Display  —  Amnesty International used to be on the side of the good guys, drawing attention to the horrors inflicted by America's authoritarian enemies.  Now, it is a shill for those same enemies, and its farcical tactics are worthy of the most juvenile left-wing extremists.
