I've long known that the word asinine means silly, foolish or idiotic. (Webster's defines it as "marked by inexcusable failure to exercise intelligence or sound judgment" giving the example of "an asinine excuse". But it was only today that I discovered that the word literally means "having the qualities of an ass".

Today's asinine headline from the Ass. Press reads: Hamas Abandons Truce After Israeli Strike.

Gosh, I thought they abandoned the "truce" before Wednesday's bus bombing for which they took responsibility. No, wait. They abandoned the "truce" before last week's suicide bombing for which they took responsibility. Hold on, they actually abandoned the "truce" a month ago when they announced their refusal to disarm. Oops, I'm sorry, they never abandoned the "truce" because there never was any "truce". It was only a three-month hudna (=chance to regroup) before starting another killing spree. But these guys are apparently too addicted to Jew-killin' to hold it in for even that long.
