You should see what I can do with a magnifying glass. Ant flambe, baby.

Saltshakers and snails are even more entertaining...

Just saw Berg's dad on CNN. While I can't argue with the quote up above, the guy is really quite the crank.

Were you referring to this quote from the Zarqawi thread?

Quote:

BERG: No. How can a human being be glad that another human being is dead?
I heard a quote from him today saying that he wanted reconciliation with Zarqawi and wanted to sit down and talk and learn more about Zarqawi and have Zarqawi learn more about him, and he was lamenting that he'll never have the chance.

I think what he fails to realize is that he would have never had the chance anyway, and that Zarqawi would just as quickly cut his head off as well and has (had) no desire to learn any more about him.

I don't really have a problem with his Pacifism, and in the face of his son's murder, it seems all the more heartfelt. It was more the conspiracy theories he was putting out.

When asked if his son's body had been returned to him he responded "that's what they tell me" suggesting it is perfectly reasonable to believe that another body or an empty coffin were brought back.

Um, without the head, I find that a reasonable suspicion to have if your son's coffin were arriving from any country in, say, latin america or africa, much less the chaos of Iraq.

A bipartisan Senate report released on Thursday documented more than $5.3 million in payments to Ralph Reed, the former director of the Christian Coalition and a leading Republican Party strategist, from an influence-peddling operation run by the corrupt lobbyist Jack Abramoff on behalf of Indian tribe casinos.

Remember when Ralph Reed was the Mr. Moral Values Man for the GOP? :rolleyes:

Yikes. What really bothers me in reading that is Reed says the report "confirms that I have not been accused of any wrongdoing."

Just because something isn't illegal doesn't mean it isn't wrong.

The other thing that kills me - Reed wanted assurances "that I would not be paid with funds derived from gambling." A two minute accounting maneuver can take care of that.

Reed has always been antigambling, so I see this work on his part to be consistent at least. I have no problem wioth being paid for doing this kind of work. However, he should have passed on the money from gambling interests that were simply looking to control their monopoly.

And interestingly enough, this actually was something Abramoff used money for that was apparently in the interests of the tribal casinos he was being paid by.

Rush Limbaugh just got busted at an airport for possession of drugs without a prescription. One of the drugs was Viagra.
:D
No, that wasn't a joke. It's all over the news...
