Apocalypse Watch It was looking for awhile that disease and war were assured their positions as front-running Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but now environmental collapse has surged ahead to join the pack. This terrifying piece form The UK Independent describes a recent scientific study which predicts catastrophic results from the current changes "of remarkable amplitude" in the circulation of waters in the Atlantic due to global warming. The scientists predict a nightmare scenario for Britain and the rest of Northern Europe, which would experience a new ice age within decades.
Bush Invokes Nas, Kindergarteners In Speech Either President Bush has been listening to much hip-hop lately, or his vocabulary has devolved into a playground dialect filled with "nicey-nices" and "baddies." After an al Qaida operative was captured in, Iraq Bush told an audience of health care workers at a hospital in Arkansas that "He was part of a network of haters that we're dismantling." Keep the forces of freedom ballin' GW. Holla.
But What About The Menacing Algebra? Or The Dastardly Home Ec? And to think that GW's phrase about "intentions of weapons of mass destruction related programs" seemed the silliest possible phrase only days ago... Despite recent admissions by our own Secretary of State and chief weapons inspector that Iraq has and had no weapons on mass destruction, cat-fearer John Ashcroft told officials in Austria that Saddam Hussein was still a threat, even without, you know, the weapons or materials that were needed to actually be a threat. "Weapons of mass destruction, including evil chemistry and evil biology, are all matters of great concern, not only to the United States, but also to the world community," he said. "They were the subject of UN resolutions." Evil chemistry? Evil Biology? Are we in a fucking comic book? Are we going to get grown-ups to run the country any time soon?
Glass Houses and Stones, General Powell, Glass Houses and Stones Claiming that in Russia "Political power is not fully tethered to the law," Colin Powell recently went to Moscow to discuss policy and make a big fucking hypocrite out of himself. Almost immediately after admitting that we waged an unprovoked war in Iraq despite UN and international disapproval over WMDs that never existed and we probably lied about, Colin had the chutzpah to criticize Russia for "developments in foreign policy in recent months (that) have given us pause."
It's too bad that Tony Blair already has the lock on the title of George Bush's lapdog because Dennis Miller could take that title just as easily. Miller has announced that on his soon to debut and soon to be cancelled talk program on CNBC, President Bush will not be mocked. "I like him," Miller explained. "I'm going to give him a pass. I take care of my friends." Viewers may wonder why a comedian wouldn't take shots at the biggest comedic target ever, but those who know Miller know that he isn't a comedian that isn't that concerned with being funny. In addition to having a monkey on air and being immediately followed on CNBC by tennis bad-boy John McEnroe's own show, Miller's show will highlight his own wacko points of view, like demonizing Peter Jennings. "He sits there and displays (his liberal bias) through subtle poker (expressions) all year long - the raised eyebrows, the arch tone of the voice. We get it that he's liberal. We get it that he doesn't like Bush. Just come out and say it!" Just shut up, stay home and collect royalties from Joe Dirt.
