HERE IS WHAT OBAMA SAID ABOUT MILITARY TRIALS WHEN A SENATOR HERE IS WHAT OBAMA SAYS AS PRESIDENT Obama has hoisted his own petard and it seems to have been made in Germany. Remember, several members of the al Qaeda cell that planned and executed the attacks of September 11 were previously based in the northern German city of Hamburg.

Rather than simply quoting from a single First-Person Nugget of Wisdom, I thought I would add a few brief observations: On Twitter, not a day goes by when Bradley Wiggins doesn't transfer to Sky. But like a good wacky sitcom, the plot goes awry and the characters inevitably wind up back where they started... setting the stage for another day of madness. A new item for the PdC Lexicon, from our good...

We’ve reached the end of the Church’s year and we honour the Kingship of Jesus Christ. In today’s Gospel we’re presented with a frustrated and perplexed Pilate. Are you the King of the Jews?

I've followed all the debatifying about the decision to prosecute five (ALLEGED!) 9/11 co-conspirators in federal court with weary, muffled resignation. Yes, I know "debatifying" isn't, like, a real word. Since almost everyone else is making shit up, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't. Thank God we have a new controversy, eh wot?
