Angelina Jolie Syndrome, Afghanistan and You

Just because you are the best looking person in the room, doesn't make you the smartest. Anthony Gregory and Radical Caucus leader Susan Hogarth try schooling animated sex toy Starchild. As my smoking hot anti-immigration/wall building/racialist ex girlfriend would say, "Good luck with that." This thread is a must for those of you who were disturbed by yesterday's Liberated Space.

Former World Bank executive appointed Palestinian PM by Abbas

No, this is not a joke. The BBC just reported that Abbas appointed a new prime minister, Salam Fayyad, as Prime Minister of Fatah-controlled Palestine. The BBC helpfully adds that "a former World Bank executive, Mr. Fayyad is a well-respected figure internationally" thereby using the code words indicating that this appointment has received the approval of Abbas' bosses in the Imperial High Command. Wikipedia says that "he is seen as pro-Western" and that he also was the IMF's representative in...

Panic seizes clueless Imperial High Command

(Cross posted from my blog) Looks like the Imperial High Command has been totally caught off guard by the events in Gaza. Now, a former Israeli IDF Intelligence Deputy Chief - General (ret) Yaakov Amidror says that "Hamastan in Gaza" would endanger all of Israel while the IHT reports that the Bush Administration is considering "accepting the Hamas takeover of Gaza".

A month ago, the school -- under pressure from the government to release the data or lose funding -- changed its policy that blocked the release of students' personal information.

O’Reilly calls others traitors for covering America’s defeat in Iraq

Bill O'Reilly claims CNN and MSNBC are giddily helping the terrorists by covering the violence in Iraq. He is the true patriot for talking about nothing instead. It is obvious to me that the true culprits are those greedy technologists - I'm talking to you Sony and so forth! - who keep inventing smaller and cheaper video cameras and selling them to those darn ungrateful Iraqis.
