    Nice. I bet Slobo & Saddam were just not loved enough as children, right? Torturing and starving your own people is a God-given right, after all.

    I just have to throw my two cents in and say that this guy hardly represents your typical leftist. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a bunch of Liberals willing to fight & protest for the rights of Saddam. I'm happy to call the guy a fringe left crazy, but not to conflate him with more mainstream Liberals.

    Thanks for checking in Bug & Lefty--always enjoy your comments!

    Lefty, I'm not so sure--Danny Glover and Steven Speilburg are ardent supporters of Fidel Castro, a tyrant that has trampled the rights of his people for decades. Jim McDermott paid a nice social visit to Saddam a week before American troops landed, and during a time that demands were being placed on Iraq by the United States (and the U.N. I might add). Diane Sawyer praised Arafat, a man who butchered 21 school children and a whole lot more as being a hero. Are you sure this is kind of sentiment is the fringe of the left? Or is it truly mainstream. Would like to know your thoughts.

    If you haven't seen Team America (and don't mind a lot of gratuitous swearing), I suggest it. I'm not really concerned with what Hollywood thinks about politics either. The world those folks live in doesn't much resemble the one the rest of us live in.

    I see what you mean. Its often those with the loudest mouths or the broadest pulpits who often speak for the rest of us, huh.

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".


Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.


Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.


In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
