A Blog of Wrath


War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
--John Stuart Mill

Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
--Gen. George S. Patton

If we don't want the world's wealth to be controlled by people with money then the alternative is to have the world's wealth controlled by people with guns. Governments have plenty of guns.
--P.J. O'Rourke

Beer is evidence that G-d loves us and wants us to be happy.
--Ben Franklin

 
Apparently there's a new term for the intended victims of a terror attack - "bystanders." The latest in doublespeak from the masters of perversion in the media: "In 93 suicide attacks since the current violence erupted in September 2000, 357 bystanders have been killed." (AP) The AP used the same term in speaking about Morocco and Saudi Arabia, and The ever-on-the-dark-side NY Times has taken up this usage as well.
