quote [ The sheets juxtaposed war images with inspirational Bible quotes and were delivered by Rumsfeld himself. ]
Briefings covered in bible verse and "inspirational war images". Really, could there be anything left about that admin that would surprise me? What a bunch of fraking hypocrites. Direct link to images in extended.

quote [ The edict, issued by officials in Hubei province in central China, threatens to fine officials who "fail to meet their targets" or are caught smoking rival brands manufactured in neighbouring provinces. ]
Talk about counterproductive. I can't wait to hear about the medical system troubles they will have in 20-40 yrs. Perhaps they figure they've got population to spare?

quote [ Fox News reports that Palin didn't know Africa was a continent and did not know the member nations of the North American Free Trade Agreement -- the United States, Mexico and Canada -- when she was picked for vice president. ]

quote [ It strikes me as odd that Hershey’s new Pure Chocolate campaign comes on the heels of their attempts to dilute the definition of chocolate. ]

quote [ The IndyMac Bank, headquartered in Pasadena, will be closed and operations will be transferred to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ]

quote [ For teen boys who prefer to dress as girls at one rural high school in Thailand, taking a bathroom break no longer means choosing between "male" and "female" restrooms. ]
