4/6     Murdoch news reporting 130 US dead:
        http://www.skynews.co.uk/skynews/article/0,,30200-1130577,00.html
        \_ maybe that was supposed to be 13?
        \_ There's a drudgereport URL which points to a newer skynews article.
           It says the number is from 12 to 130 and it's all unconfirmed.
           CNN says it's 12.  I really really doubt it's 130; skynews probably
           confused this with total people killed on both sides.
           \_ Phew.
        \_ Dude, if that's correct, but tomorrow morning there will be no
           "Saddam Town."
           \_ English please.
              \_ I think he is promising revenge.
           \_ It is actually called "Sadr City" by the residents now.
              No kidding.
              \_ I think you guys are getting your uprisings confused.  The
                 Fallujah resistance is seperate from the Shiite groups that
                 are led (inspired?) by Sadr.  Basically the shit is hitting
                 the fan and according to some emails I've heard from Iraq
                 the situation is much worse than the US media is reporting.
                 \_ But wait, why don't we just give *everyone* there a
                    gun?  According to the "real" conservatives here, that
                    would END ALL CRIME!  It's that simple!

        This week's food for thought, brought to you by People's
        Republic of Berkeley: Did you know that many US pilots defected to
        communist Cuba?  South Korea pilots defected to communist
        North Korea? Iran<->Iraq pilots defected to each other?
        W Germany pilots defected to E Germany? Taiwan/ROC pilots

3/26    Things I learned from History: Lincoln was photographed with
        killer. Lincoln had 3 male lovers (he was bisexual!).
        Kennedy had an affair with a Nazi spy. Elenore Roosevelt
        was a lesbian!!!  Nerdy looking Ben Franklin was a suspected
        killer and quite a ladies man. WTF???
        \_ Did it mention anything about Washington and the cherry tree?

11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

        \_ Duh.  the best thing that could ever happen to a country is
           the US declaring war on it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.
           the US winning a war with it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

        \_ WOW that is TOTALLY AWESOME. I'd love to see a porn
           of this genre. Asian. Lesbians. Military. That
           is just awesome.
           \_ This unit has unusually good drill and ceremony discipline.
