Robert Fisk is a bloody liar
Rabid America-hater and leftist journalistic icon Robert Fisk now claims that he's never heard about any problems or issues between Sunnis and Shias in Iraq. Indeed, he argues, they were always such great friends. The Americans are just lying, again.
Obviously, this is at odds with reality. But as Cointelpro Tool demonstrates, it is also the opposite of what Robert Fisk himself has been saying for years!

So much for the Biblical view of marriage
From The Hill:
Do not thou be too hasty, quoth McDermott
Amid increasing rancor over same sex-marriages and the federal marriage amendment, Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) took to the House floor last week to denounce the invocation of “biblical principles” of marriage by the “presidential prayer team.”
In a one-minute address, the fiery Seattle liberal said the book of Genesis allows for marriage “between one man and one or more women” and that “marriage of a believer and a nonbeliever shall be forbidden.”
And from Deuteronomy: “A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed.”
And he said, according to the Bible, “divorce is not possible, and finally, if a married man dies, his brother has to marry his sister-in-law.”
Hey, don't give Bush & co any ideas for more constitutional amendments.
Wonkette nudged me in the right direction.
PS: Actually, the so-called Old Testament allows men to divorce their wives at will (unnecessary to say, women had no such rights). But in the New Testement, Jesus made statements that can be interpreted to disallow divorce altogether. One rare example of the rather draconian family law of the Torah becoming even stricter under Christianity.

Spoiler Nader is at it again
A new Associated Press poll has Kerry and Bush tied in a presidential race, but it is still chilling reading for democrats.
The Republican incumbent had the backing of 46 percent, Kerry 45 percent and Nader, the 2000 Green Party candidate who entered the race last month, was at 6 percent in the survey conducted for The Associated Press by Ipsos-Public Affairs.
Six percent for Ralph Nader at this stage is very, very bad news for Kerry. The only good news is that Nader is unlikely to get a nationwide organisation running this year, since he will not get the Green party support.
From Talking Points Memo, where Joshua is not happy about the news.
