“It’s like a nesting doll of bad. This has been a weekend of indiscriminate shelling that has driven more than 1.5 million Ukrainians to flee the country. That number would be higher if Russia abided by its own announced ceasefires. Over the weekend, Russian forces continued to pummel cities with rockets and mortars despite the announcement of corridors for civilian evacuations. It’s like Putin’s competing in the evil Olympics against himself, and because he’s Russian, you know he’s juicing.” —Stephen Colbert
“In response to brutal Russian tactics, the US and its European allies have discussed a ban on Russian imports of oil. Take that, Putin! We’re not going to buy our gas from a war criminal. We’re going to buy it from the good guys: Saudi Arabia.” —Stephen Colbert
“Such a ban would have a cost, at a time when the average US gas price is at an all-time high of $4.104 a gallon. OK, that stings, but a clean conscience is worth a buck or two. I’m willing to pay $4 a gallon. Hell, I’ll pay $15 a gallon, because I drive a Tesla.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth
and Orwell’s 1984.”
