From the AP: "Rumsfeld said he had heard similar reports of the Saddam regime setting fire to oil wells. 'Needless to say, it is a crime for that regime to be destroying the riches of the Iraqi people,' he said."  How fucking stupid does he think we are? - Marcus-Marcus 1:27:05 PM    comment []

This Is Radio Clash Clear Channel, the country's largest owner of radio stations, has been sponsoring pro-war rallies around the country. Of course, these pro-war rallies HAVE NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the behemoth's current difficulties in Congress: Sen. Russ Feingold, among others, wants to re-regulate the radio industry, which would mean that Clear Channel would have to slim down by, oh, say 1,200 stations. I would urge you to boycott Clear Channel, but that would probably mean never listening to the radio or attending a concert again. - Consider Arms 12:58:27 PM    comment []

Senator Byrd Weeps for America Cheer up, Senator! Remember: Optimus Prime is out there fighting for us! $154 MILLION for Humanitarian Aid to Iraqis I'm speechless. $154 million is insufficient for humanitarian aid to Mississippi, let alone a country ravaged by war and sanctions that is getting a further scourging as we speak. If It Feels Good, Fire Missiles at It "Minutes before the speech, an internal television monitor showed the president pumping his fist. 'Feels good,' he said." This isn't the big cheerleading contest, George. Some States Cancel Presidential Primaries Before you freak out about how they're violating your right to vote, think of it this way: If we were good at voting, they wouldn't have had to stage a coup in 2000 to elect their candidate, would they? So when you think about it, this is really the voters' fault. From Our "They're Dropping Like Flies" Dept: A sixth MP has resigned from Tony Blair's government over the illegal war in Iraq. One day, Tony will be the last person in the British government. Land Fit For Heroes. . . Independently Wealthy Heroes While mouthing banal platitudes about supporting "our fine young men and women in uniform," the GOP is trying to cut $15 billion in veterans' benefits over the next 10 years, including $1 billion starting in July. Note to soldiers: Whatever you do, don't get sick or hurt in Iraq, because your government doesn't care enough about you to pay for your health care. The Further Misadventures of Tony Scalia Scalia, who recently accepted an award honoring his contributions to the protection of free speech, will only speak at places where the press is banned. Perhaps this is why: "In response to a student's question, Scalia said it was 'a wonderful feeling' to have led the Supreme Court's rejection of a recount of the Florida vote, thus handing the election to Bush." That "wonderful feeling," in case you're wondering, is dissimilar to the feeling of a 2,000 bomb reducing your family to wet pulp. -Consider Arms 12:55:41 PM    comment []

Well, as was inevitable, the war started late last night. Here to pick up our spirits is a news story to remind us that, along with the men and women fighting in Iraq, Optimus Prime is leading the charge against the Decepticons, er, Iraqis. - Marcus-Marcus 10:33:58 AM    comment []
