Army of None
If you want to see something that will make you heartbroken and angry, check out MilitaryCity.com. This has every confirmed casualty from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. Over 2,500 men and women dead for no good reason. Many have photographs and copies of the story of their death was reported in the news. I think a lot more people should be angry and upset that so many people are dying for nothing. I think there should be more lawsuits against the Pentagon or the government for not protecting the troops. Soldiers are just now beginning to get the proper body armor they should have had all along.
Now, there are reports that the Pentagon has successfully tested a vehicle to help eliminate IEDs, but it is tied up in red tape and none have been shipped to Iraq.
Cheney Shoots, He Scores!
Of course, to top news right now is that Dick Cheney accidentally shot someone while hunting. Boy is his face red!
I'd Buy That For An Allah
I love it that the cartoons of Muhammad that were in the Danish newspaper are now on t-shirts. Their motto should be "pissing off Muslims worldwide." I also wanted one of these Mayor Nagin and the Chocolate City t-shirts, where he looked like Willy Wonka. Their "conservative" t-shirts are a little stoopid. Especially the one that says that if you believe Bush lied about the WMDs, then you have to believe everyone else lied. No, they were basing their decision on the intelligence that Bush provided to us. Here's my analogy:
Bob tells you that the new store at the mall has the best prices on widgets in the city, but you'd better buy them soon before they sell out. He's never seen prices so low. You tell all of your friends about the lowest price widgets in the city. You and all your friends buy widgets from the store. Later, you find out that the the store actually charges double for their widgets that other stores do. You also find out that Bob lied about the price because he was in cahoots with the owner to drum up business. You go back and tell your friends that Bob lied and you now regret paying too much for your widgets and wish you could return it. Does everyone say, "well, if Bob lied, that makes you a liar, too. Sue believed you and told Margaret, so that makes Sue a liar, too. Margaret believed Sue and told John, so that makes Margaret a liar, too."
That's not a logical chain of thought because everyone was basing their belief about the widgets based on one man: Bob. He is the one that lied and you and your friends recognize that you passed on misinformation based on his lie. That's how it is with the members of Congress that now regret voting for war based on Bush's claim that Iraq was supplying the world with terrorists and had chemical or nuclear weapons posed to go off any minute. He had charts, graphs, aerial photos of factories, testimony from Chalabi, and the full backing of Tony Blair. So, we all believed his lie about the widgets and plunked our money down. Now, we regret the decision. Period.
"Remember What the Doormouse Said: Feed Your Head, Feed Your Head"
Marilyn Manson has announced he is going to make a movie about Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson). Carroll was weirdo and the movie should be great. Didn't Carroll smoke opium or something?
Give Me Your Rich and Well-Armored, Yearning to Go Overseas
Here's an op-ed piece about how ridiculous Bush's budget proposal is. It cuts billions of dollars from Medicare, Medicaid, other social services and student loans. This is just after Bush said that we need more math and science teachers. I hope all of the elderly Republicans that voted for him are pissed off.
