the news wars heat up

after this little bit in lloyd grove (scroll down…more…there ya go) i am waiting for them to choose their weapons in a duel to be moderated by zell miller.

articles like this make me happy that i’ll soon be in a small town that no one really cares much about. about three and a half years to let the furor wind down aand now it’s back to politics as usual for the brits. good luck boys. hope you’re not too attached to those national monuments and the people who staff and visit them.

so some iranians need to learn where and how to make political protests. fortunately, the fact that they all had e.u. passports means it’s unlikely that they’ll have to go back to iran and face the knives of the majils’ slaughterhouses, uh, i mean, iranian justice.

while the media talk about torture and jack-o and steroids congress passes bankruptcy reform to match the class action reform already signed into law. both with over a third of democratic senators on board. opposition? what opposition? kos can’t be happy about this.

shocking news from switzerland: fat kids grow up to be fat adults!

yep, the economy is at it’s worst point since the great depression.

and finally, i just don’t believe her, and i am more than a little disappointed in bruce.

now start drinking!

the wolfman does the party circuit

already reported via wonkette and gawker is the story of the book party tina brown and harry evans threw for edward jay epstien’s hollywood exploration the big picture at which the celebrity guest of honor was none other than paul wolfowitz. here is eric alterman’s quite interesting account of his meeting with the supreme evil.

heh heh. special for all ya vegetarians out there.

attention all virgins: please report immediately to the washington state area as the volcano gods are not happy and will be requiring fresh sacrifices beginning immediately! do it for the children, please.

so the secret service says that gannon/guckert was screened using his legal name, just like everyone else. well, that’s just not gonna do, dammit! besides, who trusts the secret service anyway?? we must flog this piece of carrion!!

trish durkin looks at hillary ‘08 and finds it wanting. am i the only one here who thinks that bill’s gonna die way to soon for her to ride the sympathy vote into office? ok, yeah, that sounds cold, but when you’re standing next to bush 41 and he’s looking like the youngster, bubba, it’s time to make some changes. i hope for his sake, he does. i’ve always had a soft spot for bubba.

speaking of hillary ‘08, this pdf from investor’s business daily via rcp gives her a commanding lead over a proposed condi run. cat fight! cat fight! cat fight!

just when you start to think of the ira as a political entity, they go and make an offer like this and ya remember, yep, drunken irishman (as if you need both words, oh fuck off, my mother’s maiden name starts with “o” apostrophe) with guns and explosives.

ok, back to work!

just when you thought it was safe to go back to the u.n.

yep, georgie once again proves up to the task as he names johnny “bring me the head of kofi annan” bolton as ambassador to the u.n. and as the world goes crazy a la the telegraph. what you didn’t really think he was gonna roll over and play nice, did ya?

thankfully reuters is here to explain that all those lebanese folks who’ve been calling for syria to get the fuck out are not really representative of the people. nope, seems that’s exclusively the parlance of hezbollah who are really, really pissed that they have to move their offices. specially since bashar is not too keen on having them hanging out on damascus street corners.

for the rest of the free world who’s been dying since martha went behind the walls, well, she’s baa-aack!!

and in other news, michael jackson’s still a perv.

i’m a catholic and i pray for the pope’s health everyday, so i get to laugh at every part of this story, both the cover (with deep guilt) and the result (without a trace of guilt).

more evidence that california is not just another coast, but another planet: your card’s no good here, stinky!

and cows everywhere look warily on the news that once again the food industy has been lying to us all along, godammit and milk is not good for strong bones and teeth. this is worse than when they said, oh yeah, bacon’s good for you!

happy surfing!
