There's nothing else to say.

Cheney: 4,000 dead American soldiers volunteered; President Bush bears the largest burden of this war.

McCain's cred

John McCain gets a lot of passes in the media for "slip-ups" because he is taken to have a great depth and breadth of knowledge. Kevin Drum, of The Washington Monthly, asks the right question: "where does all this cred come from? And what window do Democrats go to to get the same treatment the press gives McCain?"

Have a Pink Floyd Easter

On the way to work this morning I heard the coolest Good Friday/Easter story EVA. I don't know if you guys ever listen to the Glen Beck Program but that is where I heard it. Anyway, while he was giving his overly dramatic interpretation(something about letting the pain hurt today) the Great Gig was popping off in the background. More people need to recognize the pure brilliance that is Pink Floyd.

The Collapse of the Surge

But some Sunnis are claiming that they've never been paid for their services, and are threatening to withdraw their support.

New Tropic Thunder Trailer

Apropos of nothing in particular...

It is approximately 18.75 miles by water from the farm to Trevron's parent's house. Just thought I'd share that.

Wow! We've All Done It!

Couldn't stop laughing.

"Hey Wilbur, there was a whole pack of wild meese...over yonder."

For all those who think the plural of moose is just moose.

You Bitchs Wanna Play Beer Pong?

This is guy is on my team!

Tibetan protests turn violent

Gunfire reported in Lhasa. Cars and buildings on fire. Tibetan witnesses claim that Chinese forces have fired upon protesters. US advises citizens to avoid Tibetan capital.

House rejects telecom immunity!

The House of Representatives just passed a FISA measure that does not include immunity for telecommunications companies involved in warrantless surveillance. It does allow these companies to produce, in court, documents which would allow for a legal determination of the legitimacy of the claims filed against them.

Glenn Greenwald has more here.

Official House Democratic spokespersons Onyx had this message for the White House:

Predator Rap

Word.

Thought I'd bring this back into play...
