In the wake of the horrible tragedy at Virginia Tech today, Bush sockpuppet (interim) Dana Perino found time to address the REAL crisis today — the ease with which would-be Charles Whitmans can get the means to achieve their grim apotheses:
“The president believes that there is a right for people to bear arms, but that [...]

Cue America’s favorite combover — Paul Wolfowitz is in trouble again.  Turns out the guy who was so self-righteous that more than 3000 young Americans are dead, and over 25,000 horribly wounded, couldn’t separate the thing in his pants from his job.
What is it with these Bush guys?  I just can’t tell.  It’s not really [...]

Tonight’s Adult Swim programming featured a disclaimer for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force marketing campaign that led to chaos in Boston. A nice, if inadequate, gesture. Still …
It seems unconscionable that anyone, for whatever purpose, could consider such a prank funny in this era.
Consider this in context. Is 9/11 far enough in [...]

There are some things in life that are merely stupid. Then there are things that that are so stupid they make me want to run, screaming, in terror for the future of our species.
Before I post my little quote, just keep in mind two things. 1) Iran (according to our dimwit president anyway) [...]

It’s that time of year again when we drink ourselves silly. A sample: when the phrase uttered is “sectarian violence,” have one car bomb (heh).
I can’t do much better in terms of rules, but I think they’re remiss for not adding something along the lines of, say, finishing one’s drink upon hearing the term “gold-plated”.

Namely, that de facto partition of Iraq is the most likely outcome.
Scenario two: De facto partition
Probability - High
Unsurprisingly, this scenario is considered to be the most likely and has been accorded a high probability. The sectarian and factional issues witnessed in 2006 are powerful and highly stable, suggesting more of the same in 2007. In [...]

A’ight.  This damn horse is so freaking dead that subsequent beatings produce not so much as a trickle of new blood.  Still, I can’t resist (yet another) chance to get in a dig against Bush and his damnable invasion.
According to ABC, Iraqi insurgents were caught planning an attack on the U.S.:

Mimicking the hijackers who executed [...]

Couldn’t resist the attempt to transcribe Howard Cosell into a phonetic form …
After all, the U.S. is rolling up its sleeves and striding back into the squared circle that is the Space Race to take on the young comer, China.
Funny.  IMO, the only visionary contribution Bush has made during his regnum imperium has been his [...]

Quick. What middle-eastern country with a history of U.S. intervention has actually managed to turn itself into a functioning (if flawed) democracy?
Hint: it’s not Iraq.
Opponents of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took an early lead in key races in Iran’s local elections, according to partial results announced Monday, with moderate conservatives winning control of [...]

Remember the last time the U.S. intervened in the Horn of Africa? Yeah, that didn’t work out so well. And keep in mind that in ‘91, we went into Somalia with the best of intentions, and with a kinder, gentler kind of big-stick diplomacy.
There’s trouble a-brewin’ in the Horn again. War looms [...]
