If you can't find information about it outside of Fox News, that means that it's about as credible as a Bat Boy story.

Oh really?  Seeing that they were one of the few that refused to call the election...  Just because you don't like their views doesn't make them less credible.

No, what makes them less credible is the fact that they feature stories like "Chickens... you rely on them for food and feathers. But could they secretly be plotting to kill you?" And "Water- you drink it... but does it cause cancer???".

The Wall Street Journal and right-wing opinion columns mostly have respectable opinions, in my view, and often they're right. That doesn't mean that every assrag piece of sensationalist yellow journalism is legitimate just because it has radical views on something.


Honestly, wake up. There's more to the planet than ****ing political orientations.

Well then.

It's a good call, in my opinion. After all, it's basically all the old Taliban warlords who surrendered who are heading most of Afghanistan now. Karzai can't do **** right now, outside of a very small area.
