I don't like this guy, but... asking him to apologize for saying this: U.S. Sen. John Edwards drew flak Wednesday from South Carolina Republicans for comments about Strom Thurmond, the state's recently retired Republican senator. In a letter soliciting membership for a new presidential campaign advisory committee, Edwards, a North Carolina Democrat, said he wanted to show "that the Old South of Trent Lott and Strom Thurmond is in the past, and the New South can produce true leaders who can unite and not divide." only proves that the "Southern Strategy" is alive and well. 9:53:18 PM    comment []

Dead Man Walking, day 1: FWIW, these mass layoffs never make the news because they are not officially "layoffs". The preferred euphemism is "resource action." That's got to make the people affected feel a lot better. 9:47:11 PM    comment []

Bush to declare fighting 'over'   Put on yer decoder rings, boys and girls, here's tonight's secret message graciously brought to you by Bechtel and Halliburton corporations: Murdoch & Rev. Moon employees are hereby commanded to terminate reports of "untidiness" in Iraq as Americans the world over celebrate and step to the music of Iraqi freedom. Any further reports concerning looting, civil unrest, or US Armed Forces slaughtering unarmed civilians will henceforth be regarded as lies being spread by the evil Saddam-lovin' liberal press, and should be disregarded by red-blooded Americans. See? I'm here on an aircraft carrier and I have nearly mastered a military salute. I'm so handsome. Should I shove a pair of socks in my pants? Where's my Teleprompter? Karl? Let us bow our heads and gloat. 7:39:18 PM    comment []

5774   Smile! You may already be a winner! A Kenyan brewery has agreed to pay out prize money to more than 1,000 people who all claim to have the same winning number in its popular bottle-top lottery. More than 1,000 people say they had bottle-tops inscribed with 5774 - the winning number in the beer promotion. Crowds of "winners" rushed to the offices of Kenya Breweries last week, each demanding the top prize of 20,000 shillings ($260). Police used tear-gas to disperse them. Two hundred and sixty dollars, tear gas, desperation. They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? You could accuse me of viewing the world through shit-colored glasses tonight and I could plead nolo contendere, but still this is news of The Great Depression variety. Coxey’s Army. The Bonus Army. Right now, far away places with strange sounding names. Dead canaries. Two hundred and sixty dollars. Tear Gas. 2:40:29 AM    comment []
