  2. Europe will defend Afghanistan to the last American soldier.

    I thought Obama was going to bring the rest of the world onboard and be multilateral and talk to our enemies and stuff.

    So far Obama has done exactly what W was doing, the only difference is now the Media and Democrats and Left think it’s all brilliant.

  4. Jesus Effin’ Christ? 72 weeks in Juvie for killing someone? Because they’re honor students with no previous record? Hang the little fuckin’ bastards and their shitty, stupid worthless parents!

  5. This Binghampton man should be celebrated for his love of learning. His rampant killings are a testament that no child should be left behind. Perhaps visits toschools and hospices are in order?

  6. We need to find out who the three teenagers are and get that information out ASAP. If the justice system can’t imprison these fucking little monsters, then we, the public, can at least imprison them within the court of public opinion. They should be shunned in everything they do and everywhere they go until they have suffered the equivalent of a just prison sentence.

  7. Re: Tuba Man — What a horrible miscarriage of justice!

    I don’t think the article said whether the Tuba Man had any family — but I’d be doing a Fred Goldberg, hauling these punks off to civil court and seizing every dime they make for the rest of their lives.

  8. Unpaid Intern, learn some damn geography. Sanford’s the Governor of South Carolina. Don’t bestow Virginia that ass wipe governor. The papers to succeed from the Union unfortunately came from South Carolina not VA.

  14. Tim Kaine, the Democratic governor of VA, is also the current chairman of the DNC and was on the short-list to be a VP candidate. He also helped VA “turn blue” in ’08 and was one of Obama’s earliest supporters. Hate to sound nit-picky, but I live in VA and we’re pretty proud to have relatively progressive leadership in a southern state.

  16. ‘Gunman described by local police chief as “depressed after recently losing a job and angry that he couldn’t speak English well.” ‘
    So the Binghamton gunman was our former president?

  17. E@16 wins this round.

    But can’t they just throw some more $billions into that Sound Transit ‘sinkhole’?
