So THAT'S Why...

The CDC has announced that teens are screwing less and eating more. Hmmm...is that why newly-weds almost always start getting fat right after the wedding ceremony?
Maybe He Should Worry About His Priests First

The Pope is worried about American society's "soulless vision of life." How about the vision of his pedophile priests that they protected for so long? Wake up, old man, the world is steaming right on by.

What's with these One-Eyed Mullahs?

The British police arrested Abu Hamza today due to an American request. We're going to try to extradite him. Abu Hamza has only one good eye. Then there's that Mullah Omar of Taliban fame who is known as the One-Eyed Mulla. Then what about that cleric, Sheikh Abdul Omar Rahman, we have in prison in New York who was behind the first WTC bombing? That fucker's completely blind! He doesn't even have one eye. Is there some subtle metaphysical hint here that these guys are symbolically fucking blind? I would say open your eyes to them, but that wouldn't help.

Now They Tell Us!

Not only did we get sucker punched by the Iraqis, now it looks like we got bamboozled by the Iranians. Things are never what they seem!
18,000 Strong and Still Growing!

According to the International Institute of Strategic Studies, Al Qaeda has 18,000 members around the world, and their recruitment has grown due to the war in Iraq. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot! George, how are you still walking with so many bullets in your feet?

Please, Please, Go Help Someone Else!

We have helped the Iraqis to over 5500 dead since Bush declared "Mission Accomplished." Don't you feel good to be such a help to the Iraqi people?

Now, The Conspiracy Theory Gets Even Better! Bring 'em On!

Aztlan.net has even more info on the Nick Berg video. It's just a way to deflect attention away from Abu Ghraib. God bless the Internet! The conspiracy theories can travel a the speed of light now.

It Took a Month to Admit It, but Better Late than Never

Barbara Ehrenreich finally said what I've been waiting for a woman to say.
Ahmad Chalabi - Fallen from Favor

This guy takes us on a wild goose chase that we paid heavily for, he admits that he was just leading us on, and we still supported him to the tune of over $300K per month. It wasn't until just last month that we cut the guy off from the trough. What the hell is or was going on here? He fed the Pentagon false intelligence about Saddam's WMD just to get us to establish him as the leader of Iraq. We fly him in just after the war started, only to find out the guy has no backing among the people. The fact that he hadn't lived in Iraq for 40+ years wasn't a clue? So, now finally he's fallen from favor. The people in the Bush administration were so dead set on going to war that they just ate up everything he told them. Kind of like getting screwed by a used car salesman, and going back to do business with him some more.

Not Enough Blood

Yesterday, I read a post on Aztlan.net that the Berg beheading was a fraud. According to a MD in Mexico, there wasn't enough blood in the video to indicate that Berg had been alive when it happened. I watched the video, and I did notice something out of place. The screams of the victim were not in sync with the video. In fact, the sound of the screams starts when the "killer" pulls the knife out of his shirt. Except, Berg doesn't change expression. I had put it down to being a very cheap video, etc. But, like the doctor says, if he was already dead, then he wouldn't spurt blood all over the place. So, I have to say that perhaps he was already dead, and they just had him propped up there to look like he was alive. The video shows him telling about his family, but it's clearly video from a different time. Things are not what they seem...still.

Rummy Said It's Okay

So, there's a new article out from Seymour Hersch that says Rummy approved the "less restrictive" interrogation techniques developed for Guantanamo for use in Abu Ghraib. See, I told he was on his way out!

Mistake

Yesterday, I made the mistake of viewing the Nick Berg beheading video. I found out it was available on a website. I wanted to see it, but after I saw it, I was sick at my stomach. I stayed that way for the rest of the day. One thing about though, it makes you realize what we humans are capable of.

I Support [fill in the blank] 110%

Does the statement, "I support Tom Eagleton 110%," ring any bells? It does to me. That's what George McGovern said about his Vice-Presidential running mate just before he dumped him. Yesterday, Bush said to Rumsfeld, "You're doing a superb job." That's a sure sign that Rummy is on his way out.

Original Mothers' Day

The first Mothers' Day was actually a protest against war. It was really about mothers raising their kids not to participate in war. What happened?

Murder & Rape

Unnamed military sources who've seen the photos and videos that Rumsfeld referred to say that they include images of murder and rape. Now, this makes you wonder just where did these soldiers learn how to do that? Some of them are prison guards in their civilian life. But, that leaves some who are just regular people. War not only kills inocent people, it also cripples those that survive it.

The Higher You Go the Further You Have to Fall

Bush and Rumsfeld must really be squirmin' these days. They make all these claims about how we're battling evil, how we're the noble ones, and then out come those undeniable torture photos. But, it's not like they didn't set themselves up for it. Bush thinks he's been annointed by God to rid the world of evil, and he turns out to be one of the worst offenders. Rumsfeld even told the senators that there are videos and more photos that are yet to come out. He said, "There are a lot more photographs and videos that exist. If these are released to the public, obviously it's going to make matters worse." It's an awfully long way down from way up there.

Would You Like Glass Shards with That?

I was struggling to get out of the truck this morning, because my parking "neighbor" was too close to the line, and I dropped Nana's thermos and it broke. So, I couldn't have my coffee this morning at work. I cursed very loudly when it happened, and opened my door real hard so it would put a mark on my neighbor's SUV. Yes, SUV, what else? I had to go over to the Capitol Grill to get some coffee, but even though it's good it's not mine.
