“Why would these English explorers search for these spices, yet to this day never use them in their food?"
“I’ve been to Canada, and I’ve always gotten the impression that I could take the country over in about two days.”
“You have to remember one thing about the will of the people: it wasn’t that long ago that we were swept away by the Macarena.”
“Here’s how bizarre the war is that we’re in in Iraq, and we should have known this right from the get-go: When we first went into Iraq, Germany didn’t want to go. Germany. The Michael Jordan of war took a pass.”
“Most world religions denounced war as a barbaric waste of human life. We treasured the teachings of these religions so dearly that we frequently had to wage war in order to impose them on other people.”
“When did fact checking and journalism go their separate ways?”
“The Republican party is the party of nostalgia. It seeks to return America to a simpler, more innocent and moral past that never actually existed. The Democrats are utopians. They seek to create an America so fair and non-judgmental that life becomes an unbearable series of apologies. Together, the two parties function like giant down comforters, allowing a candidate to disappear into the enveloping softness, protecting them from exposure to the harsh weather of independent thought.”
