What is and Isn't News

There doesn't seem to much going on in the news today. I mean, the only thing I found at all interesting is this. But really, who cares if there's a smoking gun implicating the leader of the free world in making shit up in order to justify going to war. But really, is this grounds for impeachment, or should we just ignore it and go about blindly following our Leader while more and more innocent people die and have their lives destroyed? Buzzflash has a nice post about it too.

Besides, when there are important things like this going on, who really cares are about death, destruction, starvation and tyranny?

    "John Scarlett assessed that Saddam would allow the inspectors back in only when he thought the threat of military action was real." Damn, shouldn't newspeople be at least vaguely conversant with the news? The UN inspectors left when the US told them we were about to blow them into smithereens if they didn't!

    Hell! They wanted to impeach Clinton everytime he farted. This is a real reason to impeach someone. But if Ollie could become a national hero for shredding documents and lying and Reagan could have every shitting thing named after him for selling arms to terrorists and spending all the country's money on a space fantasy, I guess this will just make George a saint or something.

    Also, I read about this sculpture and the guys that did it said that they weren't aware that it might offend anyone. Right.

    I think Ollie became a national hero because he was kind of hot (in a war criminal kind of way), and too many middle-aged women were just hanging around the house in the 80's without much to do.

    People have been making penis scupltures all through history, and I don't think anyone was ever offended until just recently.
