>>. Herman Cain Is a Stupid, Stupid Man This, from a man who, after 9/11, declared American soldiers to be cowards while the terrorists Were not cowardly in their actions, implying they were brave warriors. Up is down, down is up. Dave, what are you talking about? What did American soldiers have to do with 9/11? And where did I ever describe terrorists as brave? What I said at the time was that bin Laden's attack on the WTC was audacious. So that you are clear audacious means..........fearlessly, often recklessly daring; bold. Has nothing to do with bravery. Now getting back to Cain.........increasingly he is looking more and more to be stupid, contradicting himself at nearly every turn. I think he is getting ready to write a book that you conservatives will eat up.

Bill Maher sells out .. or comes around depending on your viewpoint: Our friends at NewsBusters.org note that Bill Maher, the ostensible comedian who hosts the HBO show "Real Time," said this on last Friday's show: Since 2005, I think, the number of drone missions has gone up by something like 1,200%, and for good reason. You know, we can do it a lot cheaper. It's cheaper, we can get closer to the target and therefore kill less civilians. They can stay up longer. I'm sold. I'm going down to the dealership tomorrow. I'm hoping they have a hybrid. . . . And I've heard people say, "Well, this is not good because, you know, this is like a video game." Good. Why is that a bad thing that it's like a video game? I don't understand why it's a bad thing. I know the argument is, "Well, you know, it makes us more likely to go to war if we don't have to, you know, risk our troops." How could we be more likely to go to war than we've already been? Yes, this is the same Bill Maher whose most famous utterance, a decade ago on ABC, was this: We [America] have been the cowards. Lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building. Say what you want about it. Not cowardly. ABC fired Maher for that remark. It looks as though he learned his lesson well and can now be relied upon to do the bidding of his corporate overlords. online.wsj.com
