“These are the stakes” television ad, produced by the Republican National Committee and featuring Osama bin Laden, began a limited run on U.S. cable networks yesterday.At press time, it's 1,868 days plus two hours (even) on the Osama Clock.Our Republican adversaries have never been long on subtlety, nuance, or irony.

Our political leaders are the equivalent of a thug group now. Our rulers are political/money thugs.
