I had a dream August 2, 2007 - 15:37 ET by Clear thinker Mad Pole... I had a dream last night very similar to what you wrote. I dreamed that instead of crossing into Pakistan into no-mans land to try and get Bin Laden and his cronies, that we simply bought up all pork products the government can find then do high altitude night bombing on every village and town in Pakistan that we think Bin Laden could be hiding. We bomb using pigs feet, tails, heads and any other identifiable part of the pig so that when people woke they would find pig parts everywhere. Repeat this for about a month and I'm betting Bin Laden would be kicked out of his own religion, and the area he is in.

Here's a shocker: the government is inefficient and not looking out for the "little guy". How typhoons are named. Not a stripper name to be found. Be careful how you approach your boss to ask for that raise! Karl Rove sends Russia a "message". There is no need to see saggage in Congress, is there? Russia claims Superman's Fortress of Solitude as their own. Five, er, two murderers hang in Tehran. Zimbabwe proudly shows off clean, shiny, empty shelves, another glorious by-product of Socialism! This guy was creative, I'll give him that. Another victory for the Democrat(ic)-run Congress! The latest press release from the Mexican Bureau of Tourism. Great Blunders in Military History: on this date in 1990 Iraq invades Kuwait. Whoops! Also, in 216bc, Hannibal (not Lecter) lead the Carthaginians to a huge victory over Rome at Cannae. One of the greatest battles in history, Rome lost 50,000 troops (or more, depending on who you read). And finally, here is a cool article I found at Mondesishouse.

You should only trust trustworthy publications like "Pravda". "Pravda" means truth and they always tell the truth, so when you see those bare shelves, just remember that collectivization is working wonders for the people of Zimbabwe.

This is splendid undeniable fact for all you “religious liberals” who just cannot accept the reality of a party gone down the tubes culturally-morally-socially.

Expect the "local" paper, the Globe, to become really agitated over this for the next few weeks. They've already started, with today's article. Typical Globe snobbishness: "If Lake Winnipesaukee's reputation for motorcycles, power boats, and jet skis seems unlikely to attract a sophisticated, cultured Frenchman, Wolfeboro itself is a picturesque small town that retains the charm of early 20th century New England". And, "Certainly there are more French fries than fine French restaurants in town, though if Sarkozy gets the urge, he could find a nice bit of Camembert or wedge of brie at Camelot, a downtown book and gift shop that also sells an assortment of French cheeses". That's just the beginning, because obviously the Globe thinks foreign visitors come to America to sample imported foods from the visitors' home countries, and the Globe delights in pointing out the unsophisticated communities that don't provide this type of "culture". It could get downright nasty over the next few weeks as the Globe's editoralists start to weigh in.

As one who has lived in Minneapolis, I say to these AGW wannabees, learn a little and speak less. Minneapolis gets hot and it often has big temperature changes in a short time.

Minneapolis is a %100 Democrat town of course - why don't we start a "Mayor Rybak knew" conspiracy thing where the Dems blew the bridge on purpose to start some fearmongering about the lack of transportation spending.

Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio Bitch-Slapped August 2, 2007 - 11:24 ET by CT There hasn't been much coverage of Rep. Dennis Kucinich getting bitch-slapped by Rumsfeld the other day. Seems Kucinich is still in the running with Ron Paul and Mike Gravel for the luniest candidate in the 2008 presidential race.

When Fox August 2, 2007 - 12:08 ET by Chris Norman Just askin'... When Fox went all bridge collapse last night, did anyone else notice that they seemed to run out of questions to ask and pictures to show fairly early on? Did it appear unseemly to anyone else that they were reduced to practically begging viewers for pictures and home-made videos? Despite it's obvious importance, is it possible to over-cover events like this?
