Laughter is the best medicine

And a damned good way to taunt, too.

Now go away, Mahmoud. Or we will taunt you a second time.

If you don’t see a spate of stories on U.S. casualties at the end of the month, then there must be some good news the MSM is ignoring…

(The) September numbers from Iraq are good news, no matter how you analyze it. Not only did the [...]

Rushing to judgement
