Too Quiet On The News-less Front

After last Friday's ALL MARTHA ALL THE TIME spectacle, I waited for the usual Friday News Dump...

I waited. No biggies on Friday.

I waited. No biggies on Saturday.

I waited some more. No revelations on Sunday, either.

The same goes for Monday (yesterday).

Hm.

Quietly simmering on the Back Burner:


Simmer until reduced by half; Then serve warm. May be reheated if necessary. 
German TV has the story of Child Rape/Sodomy/Torture Cases in US controlled Iraqi prisons: The International Red Cross has documented over 100 cases of children (under the age of puberty) in at least 6 locations in Iraq. The children were rounded up along with adult family members during raids of Iraqi households, in the name of "The War On Terror." LINK (In German)

Arnold Calls Democrats "Girlie Men" because they won't let him bust the School Bus Drivers' union: Amazing! A man who was so scrawny and lonely as a child that he took up weightlifting (Remember those guys?)... And when that wasn't enough, he pumped himself up with steroids for a more manly man look... A man who posed, oiled and thonged, for a Gay Porn magazine... A man who denies groping scores of women, even though film and still photos are readily available... A man who has had more plastic surgery than Michael Jackson... A man who doesn't go out in public until his personal makeup artist is finished... HAS THE NERVE TO CALL DEMOCRATS WHO WANT TO PROTECT BUS DRIVERS "Girlie Men?" LINK
In case you were wondering... GIRLIE MAN = FAG = FEMALE, which must be bad; otherwise, it wouldn't be an insult.

Iraq-O-Meter: The Coalition is crumbling, George W. Fit-Pitcher rethinks ties with The Philippines; and US handpicked Iraqi Govt. Officials are dropping like flies in a backyard cloud of Real-Kill. LINK

Election Projection: The country seems to be Bushed! Only Fox News polls envision a Bush win. Go figure! LINK

Cheney = Halliburton = illegal Iran Biz Ties: Federal prosecutors have issued subpoenas for Cheney/Halliburton docs related to illegal biz dealings with Iran. We already knew that Cheney/Halliburton was in bed with Saddam. LINK

Bush misquotes student paper on Cuban prostitution: DUH! So what else is new? LINK

Today will be ALL SANDY BERGER ALL THE TIME: President Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger, is the focus of a criminal investigation (misdemeanors charge) after admitting he removed highly classified terrorism documents (copies and notes from his own original work) from a secure reading room (not so secure, is it?) during preparations for the Sept. 11 commission (What? You can't even use your own original work to prepare?) hearings. Of course, this is only an issue because Berger worked for Clinton and now supports Kerry. LINK

Oh, yeah... The NYT sort of apologizes for drinking the BushCo Kool-Aid in the run up to Shock & Awe:
 
A Pause for Hindsight July 16, 2004

During the run-up to the war, The Times ran dozens of editorials on Iraq, and our insistence that any invasion be backed by "broad international support" became a kind of mantra. It was the administration's failure to get that kind of consensus that ultimately led us to oppose the war.

But we agreed with the president on one critical point: that Saddam Hussein was concealing a large weapons program that could pose a threat to the United States or its allies. We repeatedly urged the United Nations Security Council to join with Mr. Bush and force Iraq to disarm.

As we've noted in several editorials since the fall of Baghdad, we were wrong about the weapons. And we should have been more aggressive in helping our readers understand that there was always a possibility that no large stockpiles existed. Much more...
