The Muppets Are Communist, Fox Business Network Says -

It must be hard being the Onion these days. Pretty hard to beat the “real” news.

U.S. and Europeans clash over Syria strategy at Human Rights Council | Turtle Bay -

…And once again U.S. policy on Israel gets in the way of the rest of our foreign policy agenda. Let’s get this straight: We can’t use the imprimatur of an international organization to clamp down on Syria’s gross violations of Human Rights… because that might give international organizations a way to crack down on Israeli’s violations of Human Rights?

How ‘bout Israel just refrains from violating Human Rights?

Nope, better to just let Assad keep killing his on people. I can’t imagine why the Arab World doesn’t trust us..

The “Brave Five” indeed. If only their efforts could have sent this all back from where it came.

In a word, despicable.
