"Prominent members of the U.S. Congress warned on Sunday that a unilateral U.S. attack on Iraq could draw in Israel and lead to a wider Middle East war."

Joe Biden, Richard Shelby, Carl Levin, and unnamed others speak on the danger of U.S. action.  Its good to see our elected leaders thinking clearly again.

"SECRET PLANNING DOCUMENT SEES EXPANSION OF U.S. MILITARY ROLE ABROAD"

So far, this is the best reference to the Defense Planning Guidance draft leaked in 1992 to the New York Times.  I wonder how the New York Times feels about the fact that the Baobob Press has their articles from 1992 available, but the Times doesn't.

I have no idea why I'm listed as the #1 link for Estonian Porn on Google.  I get hits from this search at least once a day.  I wasn't aware Estonia had its own identifiable style of porn.  You learn something new every day.

"Can Joss Whedon create a third genre-busting television series to march alongside the twin titans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel? Can he pull off the hat trick and transform himself into the fantasy world's Aaron Spelling; except with, you know, talent?

That was the question last night as Firefly, Whedon's new "science fiction Western" debuted on Fox. And as a longtime Buffy / Angel fan, I had high hopes. Those two gems keep my television action-drama desires vaguely satiated, but ever since Babylon 5's conclusion, there has been a gap in my heart where a good, edgy science-fiction show should be. (Sorry, never got into Farscape --- though I admittedly never gave it enough of a chance and hear nothing but good about it --- and both Voyager and Enterprise have generally left me cold). "

Good review of the Firefly premiere on Blogcritics.  I was impressed enough with the first episode that I will be returning for seconds.

The Bush 'fool me once' video seems to be fairly popular.  As such, here's a better copy (high, low) of the video, including commentary from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
