I was watching Anderson Cooper over at CNN trying to do his best Scud Stud impersonation.  Major fail.

The Republicans have a bunch of draft copies left over they could send to Iran's leaders.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
