Well gee, it's got a great big M on it and it's predecessor won Jenna Jameson an award for best voice work. For some reason I don't think "families" are it's target audience. Schmucks.

And now to throw some gasoline on the economic bonfire, Princeton economist Paul Krugman...

The Next Four Years - borrowed time

] I fear that passage of the current bill, which fails to
] comprehensively address the problems exposed by 9/11,
] will not do enough to prevent another 9/11. Congress can
] get a good bill - that addresses intelligence reform,
] terrorist asylum abuse and security for driver's licenses
] - when the Senate decides it's willing to tackle these
] vital issues.

Sorry, I felt my original, "What a crock of shit." was insufficient. This is a commentary from one of the two congressmen who held any change up. Let's hold up the whole thing to deal with details that have no bearing on the actual subject? Oh forget it... What a crock of shit.

Bill ignores critical issues

] Stephen Roach, the chief economist at investment banking
] giant Morgan Stanley, has a public reputation for being
] bearish.

] But you should hear what he's saying in private.
]
] Roach met select groups of fund managers downtown
] last week, including a group at Fidelity.
]
] His prediction: America has no better than a 10
] percent chance of avoiding economic ``armageddon.''
]
] Press were not allowed into the meetings. But the
] Herald has obtained a copy of Roach's presentation. A
] stunned source who was at one meeting said, ``it struck
] me how extreme he was - much more, it seemed to me, than
] in public.''

I don't think this is a big surpise to people who have been watching this sort of thing, the fact people with big bank accounts are starting to say it should be frightening.

and the best part, aside from his young earth psuedo-science bullshit is that he ends each page with:

bea-ti-ful.

I think if there's ever a "WTF?" category, this should be the first thing linked there. I'm wondering if someone should forget about Jesus and get back on the lithium...

Curious, although not surprising.

I'm sorry, but does ANYONE find it surprising that we go in, blow the crap out of this town, and oh yeah, kill what looks like a wounded, unarmed guy on camera (that's not getting airplay over here, but it sure is all over the mid-east) in a mosque of all places, making it look even better, and find that people are just as pissed off at us as they were before?

Folks, this isn't just how to lose the war in Iraq, this is how to screw up our national security for years.

The phrase "Waging Aggressive War" comes to mind some days.

Oh bullshit. It's a 9pm game, they made a joke and dollars to donuts, they got calls from people pissed off about alluding to a white woman jumping in the sack with a black man.

Now I'll grant that the show they were pushing is the latest in a long line of cheese fests, but come on. I guess the message is violence is good, sex is bad.
