#1 Too bad there's a sequestration going on. The President could've thrown in a few White House tours.

#3 Paying the jizya good and hard. Like the old saying about hitting yourself in the head with a hammer, it will feel so good when it stops...

#6 Sequestration is hard on the little people - the workers. Can't let a little thing like that interfere with The One Grand Plan!

#7 Humanitarian aid is a farce. Money is fungible. The $195m we give them for food just frees up money they would have spent on food for other purposes - like waging war.

Seriously, how much of the $195m has been directly earmarked by Syria to pay Russia for recent arms deliveries?

#8 Given to Assad or to the "rebels"?
