Carl Rove – remember him... Bush's brain? Seems he told an interviewer
that "Years from now, people will thank God that Bush invaded Iraq." He may be right, but they’ll be kneeling on prayer rugs, adjusting their dynamite vests,and facing Mecca. Did you watch McCain on Larry King Live telling Larry that he’d be proud to have Bush join him on the campaign trail? Of course, Bush would be required to wear a flack jacket, a ski mask and travel under an assumed name, but maybe he'd consider it. McCain also predicted that US forces would still be in Iraq 100 years from now and admitted a few weeks back that he doesn't understand economics. There's still a story floating around among the cadets at Annapolis that McCain's grades were so low, when he and his fellow graduates tossed their hats in the air, his didn’t come back.
Back below the fold!
In a rare display of military precision, a sea-to-air missile
fired from the cruiser USS Lake Erie successfully shot down a disabled
bus-sized spy satellite that had threatened to plunge to earth uncontrolled. A Navy spokesman, attempting to explain the technical difficulty of the process in layman's terms, compared it to Dick Cheney trying to draw a bead on a hunting buddy after a couple of beers and low batteries in his pacemaker.
In the wake of Fidel Castro’s announcement that he's retiring, the luxury cruise lines can't wait to pressure Congress to open Cuba to American tourists. Reports are that Royal-Caribbean has already begun work on their new 2500-passenger "SS Lucy and Desi." McCain told supporters "I hope Castro dies soon." Aides say he's been mad since Warner Bros. offered to team him with Fidel for the sequel to "The Bucket List." Speaking of Cuba, the Florida Board of Education will soon decide whether evolution should be taught as mere theory or as imperial fact. You know, based on verifiable scientific evidence -- like, say, astrology.
Two weeks ago, an Australian woman won New York’s annual Empire State
Building Run Up, covering the building’s 86 stories and 1576 steps in 12
minutes, 44 seconds. Very impressive. She shaved six seconds from the
previous record set by Larry Craig while trying to find an unlocked men’s room. For the first time since military operations began in the Middle East,the Army will begin issuing flame-retardant combat uniforms to all ground forces heading to Iraq. They’ll be made of the same fireproof material the State Department developed in the 1960's for their embassy flags. Brijit.com is a new website that offers to condense magazine
articles into a single paragraph for those who don’t have the time to
read them in full. It was the idea of a guy who used to work at the
White House removing all the big words from Bush’s intelligence reports.
In an attempt to improve on failed US efforts to rebuild the war torn country,the Bush administration is funding a training program for the Iraqi government that will provide instruction on budget management, purchasing goods and services through competitive bidding and recruiting and maintaining a workforce. The Pentagon has named the program "Operation Blind Leading the Blind."
