Telling it like it is


Sometimes the best political commentary doesn't come from the talking heads.

"...if 'they' are protecting a religion of peace by doing violence, we are protecting democracy by betraying it."
-film reviewer Jay Stone, trying to articulate what the movie Body of Lies may be saying about the War on Terror ("Shades of Grey," Ottawa Citizen, Oct 18, 2008, F1)

"...[they're] rigging a game that privatizes profit but socializes risk..."
-cartoonist GB Trudeau (9 Oct 2008 Doonesbury)
