We've Been Out-Blogged

“Luxury doesn’t depend on the rouble, it depends on the spiritual strength of Russians and I think our spiritual strength will win out and everything will be fine, as long as we are left in peace.” - Gerard Depardieu

“The United States of America is changing its relationship with the people of Cuba. In the most significant changes in our policy in more than 50 years, we will end an outdated approach that, for decades, has failed to advance our interests. And instead, we will begin to normalize relations between our two countries. [...] I look forward to engaging Congress in an honest and serious debate about lifting the embargo.”
- Barack Obama

“I want to appreciate and recognize the support from the Vatican and especially Pope Francisco for the improvement of relationships between Cuba and the United States.” - Raúl Castro

DICK CHENEY:
I'm more concerned with bad guys who got out and released than I am with a few that, in fact, were innocent.

CHUCK TODD:
25% of the detainees though, 25% turned out to be innocent. They were released.

DICK CHENEY:
Where are you going to draw the line, Chuck? How are--

CHUCK TODD:
Well, I'm asking you. [...] Is that too high? You're okay with that margin for error?

DICK CHENEY:
I have no problem as long as we achieve our objective. [...] I'd do it again in a minute.

  1. is that a real mitt romney tweet? cause it makes a lot of sense - if i ever downloaded movies at all (such an event still lies in the future, i suppose - although no one is promised tomorrow, one should always remember), i'd download this one and make the donation to fight ebola

    i like this pope a lot better than pope ratzinger

    of all christmas and hanukkah miracles, the greatest is that anything exists at all, as pioneering experimental psychophysiologist and insightful metaphysician gustav fechner pointed out - see the chapter on his empiricist pantheism in william james's 'a pluralistic universe'
