Of course today's NYT leads with all Ukraine all the time,as well they should. However, you know that geopolitical conflict isn't really how we do here, given that our official policy on Syria is ?????? Oh wait we forgot we totally want to talk about Syria for a minute you guys, because now thanks to the NYT we have a feels! The Times covered the online posting of a hot new pro-Hezbollah song that
<a href="http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/images\/2014\/03\/02\/nytfrontpage\/scan.pdf" target="_blank">Sub-hed</a> on <i>NYT</i> front page: &quot;Rebuff to Obama.&quot;
Or, in HuffPo style: Obama <i>REBUFFED!!</i>
The dogs of war are barking furiously now, particularly since they didn&#039;t get any red meat in Syria and every last thing that could ever possibly be said about Chris Christie has already been said. Six times.
Odd that Friedman is not already on board this express train to death. You can be sure he&#039;d like to tell Putin to <a href="http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/World\/Backchannels\/2013\/0318\/Thomas-Friedman-Iraq-war-booster" target="_blank">suck on this</a>.
It&#039;s sickening to see how much defense contractors, the MSM, and chicken-hawks in government want another war.
We have a coherent policy in both places: it&#039;s called Staying the Fuck Out of There. In GOP circles this is called &quot;Obama&#039;s trembling inaction.&quot;
It may not be the right policy, but it is a clear one and we&#039;re sticking to it, at least so far.
Ross is right, ya know. Does no one remember what happened after the Civil Rights laws came into effect? The thousands of nice decent private businesses that were driven into bankruptcy when they tried to maintain their right to refuse to make cakes and floral arrangements for black and interracial couples? The churches that lost their nonprofit status when they wouldn&#039;t officiate such marriages?
At the time, it was all over the news, and there were all those studies done, proving what terrible hardship was caused. I&#039;m sure I can find a website with the stats showing how bad it got ... just give me a couple of days.
Those are the <i>unconditional</i> terms of your surrender, Douchehat. When it comes to the rights of gay people to be just regular citizens, JUST SHUT UP ALREADY.
It&#039;s Russian gas, and EU customers - Ukraine can&#039;t win by pissing off both sides at once. What Putin wants is his Black Sea naval base, and the fucker doesn&#039;t want to pay rent. With or without a short and bloody war, the Crimea is gone; Ukraine will have to get used to it. Possibly cede it to Russia in exchange for getting to keep eastern Ukraine, which is a headache Putin will gladly do without.
in fact, in general just shut up, Ross, because this is far from the only thing you&#039;re wrong about
The weed of Crimea bears bitter Putin.
Yeah, sure Ross. You can negotiate with us about same-sex marriage.
By the way, negotiations will be conducted by Korben Dallas
The South is still segregated. They just spend less time building separate but unequal facilities for the coloreds.
Ross is willing to surrender on gay marriage? I&#039;m surprised he&#039;d Douthat.
I don&#039;t know if he ever has. But you&#039;d certainly think it the way he talks.

But! What did Friedman&#039;s cab driver think?
&quot;And Bill is out being the campaigner-in-chief, keeping the Clinton allure on display in 2014.&quot;
Boxers or briefs?
Oh, I get it...
&quot;Traditional Marriage&quot; = &quot;Marriage for me!&quot; &quot;Traditional Values&quot; = &quot;My values!&quot;
Too bad we don&#039;t live in the United States of Ross Douchehat. Sounds like a nice place. For Ross Douchehat.
SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP.
Those are the <i>unconditional</i> terms of your surrender, Douchehat. When it comes to the rights of gay people to be just regular citizens, JUST SHUT UP ALREADY.
Really? It was the closest thing to fingernails on a blackboard I&#039;ve ever suffered through, merely through the act of reading.

I&#039;m more outraged that &quot;Sully&quot; thinks he invented gay marriage.
