The bad news is that newspapers are dying and comic strips are fading into history. The good news is that the Huffington Post is guaranteed to make you laugh every day.

"American soldiers [are] going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the – of – the historical customs, religious customs." - John Kerry in 2005
“Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam’s torture chambers reopened under new management,” - Sen. Ted Kennedy
“We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there,” - Sen. Barack 0bama

Oh, wait! Those aren't right wingers.
