Short Cuts
A Shock To The System: The NYTimes lays out our battle plan. It seems pretty straight-forward and very, very neat - not neat-cool but neat-tidy. There will be 3000 bombs dropped in the initial attack. That works out to roughly one big fat 'ol bomb every minute for two straight days. While we wait for the UN to get its rear in gear maybe someone could paint one name of the WTC dead on each bomb. We know...we know...there is no connection between Saddam and al Qaeda but we don't believe it.
I'm Not A Murdering Slime-Ball Dictator But I Play One On TV: The LATimes tells
us that the voice we heard on Dan The News Man's fawning interview with
Saddam Hussein was an actor hired by CBS to speak the English translation of Saddam's answers with an accent.
It does give one pause. Was that really Dan? Was it really filmed in Baghdad? No wonder Dan constantly tells us he's a journalist. No one else will say it.
Stalin Smiles: One of the best pieces on the board today has to be this essay by Iranian author and journalist Amir Taheri in the NY Post on the roots of Peacenickery. Ambrose Bierce once wrote that war is God's way of teaching Americans geography. It helps us brush up on our history as well.
Savage Threatens to Cook: The most annoying man on radio, Michael Savage, sends word from the publicity briar patch gays and lesbians (why do they separate themselves like that?) have thrown him that they shouldn't judge his new MSNBC show before they see it. It might be a cooking show, he tells Howie Kurtz in the WaPo. Despite his gay bashing, Savage says he is "almost a libertarian" when it comes to sexuality. The publicity his upcoming show has got from all this screaming makes not a few cynics wonder if he hired GLAAD to attack him and we can almost hear him giggling.
Happy Anniversary Spam: This notification is something we promised Igor in lieu of a raise and loosening the duct tape on his wrists:
Hormel Company chefs found that if they cooked ham in special spices, ground it up and stuffed it in a can, it would have a 7-year shelf life -- Spam hit store shelves for the first time on March 5, 1937, and has since been both the butt of jokes and the world's most popular canned meat (Hawaii and Alaska are the nation's largest consumers of Spam).
