Interdestructure
- The interim government in Iraq will fail if these attacks continue. If it does, the January election will prove to be very divisive and may result as a prelude to civil war.
- Iraqi global guerrillas will hone their skills and share them with al Qaeda.
- Global guerrillas will use these stategies in Saudi Arabia
Would it have gone the other way if Bush had one more Supreme on the bench?
On the other (Cone) head...
We saw Fahrenheit 911. I would compare Moore's movie to This is Spinal Tap, a fake documentary that told more truth about rock and roll than a dozen earnest concert films.
Moore plays loose with the facts, but (to switch movie analogies) he's like Bluto talking about the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor -- let him go, he's on a roll.
Explains everything
I was looking for a quote from Dr. Weinberger this morning, and ran across this:

The source doesn't show the entities (or whatever) involved, but I'm not sure it matters.
Only when the wrong head does the talking
Says here mobile phones destroy sperm cells.
Dr Imre Fejes believes to have evidence that simply carrying a mobile in hip pockets or a holster on the waist could cut men's fertility by nearly 30%.
That's one of the few non-depressing stories on Aljazeera.
Two years off is enough
Will somebody please revive Jabbercon? It was a load of fun.
Live from hell
Sudan: Passion of the Present. In case you missed it (easy to do, since there's not much oil under it) Sudan makes Baghdad look like Scarsdale. Thanks to Jim Moore for the pointer. And for the Good Work fighting a very bad thing.
