A Seven Of Clubs In A Spoof Deck Of Weblogs
No, Really Dudes. I Fold. Like most people with homes above the Mason-Dixon and SAT scores over 800, I thought that the "Deck of Cards" that the US Army dragged out at the beginning of the Iraqi War was ridiculous. Like most sarcastic people on the internet, I laughed when I saw the first spoof deck of cards lampooning the Bush administration. I laughed less when I saw the neo-con "Traitors of the Left" cards, and audibly groaned when the French and the Russian decks were released. Now we have reached a point where there are enough spoof decks and counter-spoof decks and counter-counter-spoof decks that one could create a new deck of cards by assigning each parody deck its own card. Witness the new deck of "Republican Chickenhawk Cards" put out by the folks at BuzzFlash. Enough is enough. It's a nice idea, but please take your politics away from the gin rummy table and stick with the hysterical rhyming by-lines.
"The Permanent Scars Of Iraq" Tremendous and heartbreaking piece from the New York Times Magazine about some of the 2,600 troops who have come back from Iraq after being wounded in action.
Bullshit Against Bullshit, Let The Campaigns Begin On February 12th the Bush campaign sent an email to 6 million supporters with a link to an internet video that attacked John Kerry for getting "more special interest money than any other senator." That is true, if by saying "more special interest money than any senator" they meant "didn't get more special interest money than any senator" and "definitely got far less special interest money than Bush." All hail the glory of FactCheck.org.
Finally, After Three Decades My Prayers Have Been Answered Prepare to get united America.
