Stephen Colbert “Some advice for the French on Mali: it gets easier once your media starts ignoring it.”

Bill Maher “There is a bad situation, there’s a hostage crisis in the Sahara.  If you have not been following this, the Algerians got mad at France for bombing Mali, don’t ask me about that.  So, they took hostages, including Americans.  Now they want to trade some of the Americans for the blind sheik who bombed the World Trade Center the first time.  Or, as they’re describing it on Fox, bleeping Obama does it again.”
