Sad but funny.

The Axis of Weasels - France, Belgium, and Germany
This poor sod is a shining example of how it can be sad that "survival of the fittest" doesn't seem to apply to humans all that much anymore.
However there is some funny stuff sprinkled in there. One can only laugh...

Boris, you're a better man for finding mirth in this muck. I, for one, cannot believe that this kind of ignorance manages to masquerade around as informed opinion. To be sure, I'm one to trust that everyone's entitled to an opinion, but, and I'll speak daggers in perpetuity if anyone wants to contest this, I am no relativist. This kind of "humorous" cultural and nationalist rant is little more than ineffectively veiled racism. Frustrated jingoist pricks worldwide make me sick. Continue spewing skewed ideologically-slanted sermons out of your ass, buddy. Your humour makes angels of us all. Really! Scary.

it's a strange, strange period in political history. well, at least in my lifetime. when Bush I talked about the new world order, he was obviously a bit premature. It took his son to start to realign the post-cold war world through aggressive action. Are the French / Germans wrong to oppose war in Iraq? I think not. Do i trust that their intentions are perfectly moral and pure? no, it's politics just a deeply on their side too. don't be fooled!
i see myself as leftist, but i think that this little cartoon best describes how i'm feeling...i need a bit less dogma.

"may I have the strength to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I cannot accept, and the wisdom to tell one from the other"...
In this case that translates to "laugh or kill" ...
