Sorry, I assumed the Iraq Report was released today. I'm in the blissful dark at the moment.

(ARGH! It took a full 5 miniutes to edit this post using dial-up.)

The Report was issued yesterday, and I think it makes Baker and Hamilton look rather dumb that it took them 9 months to come up with that pablum.

You can gestate a frelling human being in that time, and the best they could do was "Iraq will be better when we start doing things better. We can take our sweet time about it, too."

Ugh. You know what ticks me off the most? The dingus rabbi demanding a menorah be put up. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I have no need to for Hanukkah to be turned into some sort of surrogate Jewmas. I don't need the Supreme Court declaring the Hanukkiah/Menorah to be a secular symbol just because the Christmas tree is. Blargh.

Yeah, my first thought was 'stupid rabbi.' Shut the fvck up. We don't want equal time with Xmas. Why don't you just put up a fvcking billboard that says We Killed Christ and His Christmas Trees, Too!

As of tonight they're putting the trees back. Once again, Seattle is proud to make the national wire.

I doubt anyone in their right minds would think anything other than what the poor guy probably intended and I kind of pity him the backlash here. I also pity Seattle; they're always trying to do the PC thing and nearly always getting knocked for it. Seattle is really a pretty cool town and people who live there just want to make sure no one gets slighted in any situation. Unfortunately, there are times when common sense just sort of flies off the tarmac......

Ohhh cool. Does this mean that I can finally get them to put up a giant black snake as a ode to Set?

Ironic ponderance of the day: What if Senator Tim Johnson ends up on a feeding tube?
