Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying

I just moved into my new house (conveniently located in the same neighborhood as my old house). Since I am horrible at planning ahead, I am now without an internet connection until next Tuesday. However, when I am back on the Internets I will be surfing at light speed on my new Verizon FIOS connection. [...]

Is this the mission? (Warning: Please do not watch the following video if you cannot handle reality.)

Does this man know what the mission is?

BLITZER: But there is a terrible situation there.
CHENEY: No, there is not. There is not. There’s problems — ongoing problems — but we have, in fact, accomplished our objectives of getting [...]

Senator Jim Webb of Virginia delivered the Democratic response to President Bush’s State of the Union speech tonight. I think I can safely say that in eight minutes Senator Webb laid waste to President Bush’s "surge" fantasies.

Second, and more subtly, by forcing the Senator and most thinking people to point out that the Senator is not in fact a Muslim, it leaves the implication [...]

 
As Bangladesh comes to grips with the State of Emergency that it is now under, I continue to be concerned about the coup that has taken place. Now there is talk in Bangladesh of this unelected government staying in power for six months or perhaps a year. In the mean time, they will fix the [...]

Jon Swift reports exclusively that, according to his sources, Michael Ledeen is dead. TBogg also is tracking this breaking news. Crooks & Liars features the news in its round-up.
So, I’m thinking it must be true. I called my double super secret source deep in the bowels of the Iraqi government and this is what my source [...]
