successful catastrophe

* "Bryan G. Whitman, a spokesman for the Defense Department, said: "The all-volunteer force has been working very well for 30 years. There is absolutely no reason to go back to a draft." i love this logic. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/19/politics/19draft.html?pagewanted=all&position=

* ""Let me say something about Jon Stewart. I don't think he's funny. And I know he's uninformed," Novak said, peering meaningfully at the audience.
"I think he's funny," said Carville. "I just think he's a pompous ass.""

* ""I thought that he looked ridiculous," Carlson said in an interview Monday, "and I think the tape makes that clear." Carlson said Stewart continued lecturing the "Crossfire" crew after the show went off the air. "I wasn't offended as much as I was unimpressed," he said."

* i think i just heard Tardis being played at a 43 speech. sweet.

* "Tony Blair is ready to give the go-ahead within days for British troops to relieve United States forces south of Baghdad to enable the Americans to launch an all-out assault on the terrorist stronghold of Fallujah." does any of this make sense? theres 150k amtroops in iraq, but the 600 pomtroops are somehow required so that ams can attack fallujah. it seems that the ams need as many co-war-crims as possible.

* "It also emerged yesterday that two Macedonians taken hostage by a militant group were reported to have been beheaded in Iraq yesterday." i still dont quite understand the whole international pot-pourri for beheadings. im sure they have passport control. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/story.jsp?story=573593

* "several of Sincliars's senior executives and one member of its board of directors unloaded all their stock before the price tumbled." sweet. only in 43's america. http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/archive.html?blog=/politics/war_room/2004/10/19/sinclair/index.html

* nyt: "There is no dispute that Mr. Zarqawi has brazenly led a campaign of car bombings, mortar attacks, kidnappings and beheadings in Iraq, asserting his responsibility for the devastating attack in August 2003 on the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad." no dispute. oops - ive been wrong all this time. damn. http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/101004I.shtml

* it seems that there actually are some reports that zarq is a sexoffender "According to vague Jordanian intelligence reports, Zarqawi was jailed briefly in the 1980s for sexual assault." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zarqawi
