I was going to just put this in my “linkbar,” but I decided to give it a full-fledged post. Intelligence Designed. by Harold Meyerson. May 14, 2003.
Here’s a quote I happened to like: Apparently, Bush administration intelligence is to intelligence as FOX News is to news.
In any case, it’s an interesting article. (Link borrowed from g.)
When cafeteria workers at the UN Headquarters 40-acre complex strike, the result is rioting and looting one might expect from a “less rich” nation, possibly one bombed by a willing coalition, or from a city where murder trials spark heated discussions.
RED LION, Pennsylvania
A 14-year-old student shot and fatally wounded his principal before killing himself in front of students in the school cafeteria, police and school officials said Thursday.
Every time I see something like this, especially one that’s close to me or people I know, I second-guess what I’m getting myself into. How can I, as a teacher or principal at some point in the future, ensure that no kid will ever come after me with a gun? It’s scary.
Pepsi is planning on unleashing to the world a new sweepstakes with a possible One Billion Dollar payout. As with everything else in the world, they are tying it into a two-hour television special. Chances of the grand prize payout are pretty low of course, but this final award would be decided by a monkey picking a number out of a hat. Sure sounds like some entertaining television!
So, here’s something fun. After we’re done wiping the Iraqi landscape and have begun the rebuilding process, Washington is sending over “evangelical missionaries” who are intent on converting the Muslim population to Christianity! Not just Christianity, but “Southern Baptism” in particular.
Do yourself a favor, read the whole article.
Frank Lloyd Wright had plans for the city of Baghdad, even though noting that his plans were unlikely to be carried out “because a lot of western architects are in there already building skyscrapers all over the place and they are going to meet the destruction that is barging in on all big western cities.”
In other news, so you grab your girls, and you grab a couple more and you all come meet me in the middle of the floor.
Ladies and gentlemen, our next President of the United States. Why? It has nothing to do with his views. It has everything to do with a secret society, if you believe in those things. Once Bush falls further out of favor, Kerry, who is linked to Bush linked by a powerful brotherhood, will be pushed forward by the group as the next President. It could be in 2004 or 2008. If you want some back-up information, research the Skull and Bones. Some of what you’ll find is nothing more than legend and propaganda, but keep reading.
Here are the facts about the “Coalition of the Willing,” in case the sound-bite “news” broadcasts and talking heads have confused you.
Here is a little diversion from all the news that hits the airwaves, such as coalition forces killing Iraqis, Iraqis killing Americans, Americans killing the British, etc. It’s a joke, but it’s short. And probably won’t be funny to you. But you might say it’s tasteless. Or you might not. Okay, on with it:
“What was on the banner?” asked Mr. Bush.
“LONG LIVE SADDAM!” answered the dictator.
“I’m so glad that you called,” said President Bush, “because I too
had a dream. In my dream, I saw Iraq and it was more beautiful than ever; totally rebuilt with many tall, gleaming office buildings, large residential subdivisions with swimming pools in every yard; and over every building and home was a big, beautiful banner.”
“What did the banner say?” asked Saddam.
“I don’t know,” answered President Bush, “I can’t read Hebrew.”
Through Adam, the link master. Here is a screenshot of CNN.com‘s new tactic in shock-and-awe coverage. I am shocked and awed.
