#1 Too f*cking late.

Let it burn.

#2 Two Cohens collide by time travel:
"Lookin' good, young Rog! May I cavil?
Don't act quite so priestly;
The One turns out beastly
And everything starts to unravel."

#3 You know, it's just possible that in, oh, about '07, somebody warned you this would happen.

#4 The Great Unraveling

That has been the goal all along for the ~~communists~~ progressives. "Your grandchildren will live under Communism" — Nikita Khrushchev

Now some of the guilty parties are mimicking Colonel Nicholson: What have I done?

Remember, being slick, hip, and urban means never saying you're sorry.

#5 Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Yeats

#6 I did notice the NYTs did not pin any blame on the current administration for any of this "unraveling."

#7 Bullshit. When was it not a time of beheadings in the Middle East? And why do we have to police them? Drill here and let them figure it out for themselves.

As for Scotland, they might get kinda hungry without the English keeping them on the dole but they'll just have to figure it out then, won't they? Maybe they'll have to lower their standards a bit, tighten their belts and go to work. It's for them to decide and I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it either way.

What I see unraveling is our own society with its 47 percent, communist politicians, the cesspool known as Hollywood, the open border and the debt. Why doesn't Mr. Cohen wring his hands about that?

#8 It was the time following 30 years of evermore stringent PC.

#9 Agreed Ebbang Uluque6305. However, ISIS (headloppers) should be wiped out. They are a cancer on the world. Like Bin Laden did, they will send their minions over to the U.S. or other Western countries to spread death and destruction. 911 should not be forgotten so long as history goes on. Not to slight some of the other vile things perpetrated by such groups.

#10 Sort of reads like the intro to a tedious book by Faulkner...

#11 Like Bin Laden did, they will send their minions over to the U.S.

That's why I mentioned the open border. It's also troubling to me that our government is so free and easy issuing visas to young men from cat box countries. That's the threat I see. How can Champ even pretend to be concerned about protecting our country when he won't do squat about the border? I wouldn't give him one red cent for his war against ISIS until he does something about the border. Then if his Soddy friends got nervous enough he might actually do something.

Furthermore, how about some of that terribly politically incorrect profiling at the airports? Little old ladies from Kansas don't carry bombs. Young Arab men do.

It would also help if he'd stop meddling in places like Libya, Egypt and Syria where he hasn't the vaguest clue what he's doing.

I can't support anything Barack Obama does because I don't trust him. Not one bit. He's lied too often and he's done too many things that don't make sense.

I don't trust Mr. Cohen either. Reading his drivel made me gag. If him and guys like him had done their jobs in the first place Obama would have never been elected.

#12 If him and guys like him had done their jobs

They did. Whether useful idiots, apparatchiks, or Koolaid drinkers, they only work for the Inner Party and power. They achieved their goal. Unfortunately, some have discovered the price of selling one's soul. Better to remain a brain dead dogmatist to the destruction they worked, than to feel the remorse that is eating at them. I hope they enjoy the latter. Well deserved.
