i watched xmen last night and i liked it so there

Ooooooooooak-lahoma where the House of Representatives decides what your child reads! I'm not sure if it'll work, but this is my favorite article. You'll probably have to register in order to read it, but let me give you my most favorite quote:

"Libraries and librarians should not be usurping the role of parents," Kern said. "You can't sell toothpaste without sex. Our society is obsessed with sex. And I will tell you this, the American Library Association is out to sexualize our children." (that's Rep. Sally Kern R-Okalahoma City, the author of this illustrious bill)

I'm going to make t-shirts to sell at the next ALA meeting:

"The American Library Association: Turning your children into sex machines since 1876."

G.W.B. outlined the "new" national security strategy--here's the official White House version and this is the Post's take on it. Why I'm even remotely surprised at the arrogance of this administration to continue with a pre-emptive strike policy (and make it absolutely central to the entire strategy!!!) despite having been caught with it's pants down regarding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq just goes to show how truly stupid I can be. Hamas, Russia, North Korea, and China all get a nice little mention, but he saves the big guns for our new enemy #1: Iran. (Incidently, what ever happened to the man responsible for 9/11? Is he still suffering from kidney disease and possibly hooked up to a dialysis machine, hiding out in the mountains of Afghanistan while the most powerful and sophisticated military attempts to hunt him down 5 years after the fact?) Good luck with that. I don't know if his advisors just aren't showing George the bank statements, but I'm wondering how he's going to pay for another costly, lengthy, no-end-in-sight conflict after the Senate just passed a $781 billion dollar increase in U.S. borrowing capability bringing our debt to a whopping $9 trillion. AND it appears as if we're currently engaged in the largest military operation in three years.

I'm certain that timing has nothing to do with this.
