Department of That's Why They Call It War:
"Human rights watchdog Amnesty International has called for an urgent
inquiry
into the killing of hundreds of Taleban prisoners who staged an uprising
near
the Afghan city of Mazar-e-Sharif. "
--BBC report
Boo!
The Un-Reno: John Ashcroft let the world know yesterday that he tell
the
whining media-hadeen who he has in custody nor will he stop "inviting" them
to chat. What part of "they want to kill us all" does Russ Feingold not
understand? Here's Jerry Seper's
rundown on Ashcroft's throwdown.
And, don't forget - Ashcroft goes to the Hill today to say it one more
time -
they are trying to kill us all.
No More Miatas: The era of the Wimpmobile is over. What we'll all be
wanting
is one of these babies.It's a Combatt and
it sounds like a Super Muscle
Humvee complete with night vision technology for a no-headlight run
through
hostile suburbs with - according to the USA Today report - sensitive
computer
discs. The war can't last forever and we can get one used. Positively cool
wheels.
Woodman, Spare That Tree: There ought to be a PETA for trees used
to make
paper. A wild eyed group of loony birds who would tie themselves to a tree
when they hear that a totally wasteful
book is being published. Bad enough we
lost a few for Jeffrey Toobin's agonized report on how Gore won the election
(published September 10th!!) - now they've slaughtered some oaks to print
one
Jim (Remember Me , Please") Jeffords ruminations on life as a turncoat.
Gotta Get A Gun: Here's a grisly report on the latest journalist to die in
Afghanistan, Swedish TV4 journalist Ulf Stroemberg, 42. It does make one
wonder why these civilians aren't armed to the teeth and sleeping with their
guns. Who answers the door, as this fellow did in the middle of the night,
without one?
Finally, Some Respect: Today's must-read is
Rush Limbaugh's excellent article
in - grab your socks - the Washington Post! As Andrew Sullivan comments
today, the dumbest thing ever said about Rush is that he's dumb.
Geraldo Mid-life Crisis Update: For those of you who might have
missed it and
care - Geraldo's report yesterday had him standing on the side of a road in
Kunduz watching a long line of men in pajamas walk by. The rest of the
report
was how he got to that place on the side of the road. Wadda ya want from a
guy with a 23 inch waist - news you can use?
LDotter Note: Two important birthdays today - Dick Morris and Igor,
the Ldot
gopher. Greetings can be placed on the Support Thread - for Igor, of course.
You are on your own with greetings for Morris.
