More left than the one us kiwis are going to have in a couple of months... but if that doesn't put anyone off there's a couple of spare rooms at my place. And i don't even have an iron.

[Dingfod]

I'll bring my own iron if I can get it past Homeland Security.

Keep dreaming, Ding. Obviously, you'd only try to bring an iron through if you're a terrorist. They'll have to pull you aside and do a body-cavity search to make sure that's the only iron you've got.

So any of your countries take ex-felons?

I'm just asking for a "friend."

Fine, just leave us with all the crazies. I'll send you pictures from the death camps.

[Deadlokd]

You'd think Australia would, wouldn't you, considering our origins (European origins, not Aboriginal [I acknowledge the traditional owners of this land]ones). Criminals and jailers one and all, but no, apparently you have to be "of good character" to enter the country now. I think someone done been gettin' ideers above it's station!

[Qingdai]

The first thing one does, when invading a country, a trailer park or getting bumped up into a higher level of government, is make sure none of your white trash relatives can follow you.

Meanwhile, Mr. Magoo seems not to understand the concept of "Spain."

Honestly, how could anyone not know about, um, you know, Spain?

You fucking liberals. It was just a slip of the tongue.

He was clearly talking about New Spain, as in the Viceroyalty of New Spain, which constituted significant territories in North and Central America until the Spanish-American War. So he was probably just thinking about that Spain, which he remembers from when he was a young man in his late 30s. Remember, his state of Arizona was under Spanish control as recently as 1821. McCain still remembers those heady teenage years right after the Tready of Cordoba was signed.

And Zapatero better watch his ass. President McCain will finish what the Adams-Onis treaty didn't!

[Dingfod]

I think he mistook Zapatero for Emilio Zapata. You know those Zapatistas are terrorists.

“And I’m thinking, this guy’s really bold, he doesn’t even know what I’m going to do, he doesn’t know what my plans are. And he’s praying not “oh Lord if it be your will may she become governor,” no, he just prayed for it. He said “Lord make a way and let her do this next step. And that’s exactly what happened.”

Wow. Just wow. Petra, hon, how big is your property? I need to go tent-shopping this weekend.

LORD MAKE A WAY

You guys shouldn't make fun of witchcraft. It's totally real.

Catholic League: For Religious and Civil Rights

Witchcraft is a sad reality in many parts of Africa, resulting in scores of deaths in Kenya over the past two decades. Bishop Muthee’s blessing, then, was simply a reflection of his cultural understanding of evil. While others are not obliged to accept his interpretation, all can be expected to respect it. More than that—Muthee should be hailed for asking God to shield Palin from harmful forces, however they may be manifested. And for this he is mocked and Palin ridiculed?

First of all, yes they are to be mocked and ridiculed. Second, you can expect until you are blue in the face for all I care.

Even with a reasonably fair education in the occult and long prior experience with churches just like Palin's...

Yes. Yes, I am going to mock them with a fury their god cannot hope to match. And rightly so.

Next?

[ChuckF]

Setting aside the "witchcraft is a sad reality" thing...

Standing by for the Catholic League to respect Osama bin Laden's fatwas. Apparently they can be expected to respect it.
