mcpherson of the year

* i misssed this cleveland.com bit during the week with the cute title 'MoveOn.Now': "Unfortunately, there is a small, but very vocal, group of Americans who refuse to accept this reality. They argue that what appear to be routine technical glitches and human errors were in fact an elaborate conspiracy to skew the election results." veryvocal but silenced. http://www.cleveland.com/search/index.ssf?/base/opinion/1103106733237320.xml?oxedi

* in case u missed it, ohio recount leader claims she was run off the road by a couple of dark-windowed suvs. whoda thunk airport novelists knew what they were talking about? or is that a chicken/egg issue?

* btw - theres something totally bizzaro about the flak that rumsfled is getting wrt 'the soldiers question'

* am not sure if ive pointed to it b4 - heres the vanityfair article on florida2000 that caused such a stir http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/121804I.shtml

* as only the wklystd can say (not really, but i wish it was an isolated example) " It is the United States that has preserved some semblance of order in the world for the past 60 years, while the U.N. dedicated itself chiefly to abusing Israel... The United Nations is in a sense systematically destroying international law... Consider the International Atomic Energy Agency's disastrous Iran policy... a brazen attempt to seize control of our national security policy--and impose on us a policy of appeasement, no less... most diplomats today think that U.S. national security policies are at odds with international law. Something in that equation needs to change, and it isn't U.S. national security strategy... The U.N. is sapping America's prestige... The U.N. should either be reformed to serve the purposes of its founding, or we should kill it off once and for all." brazen. speechless. if only the wkylstd was appropriately killed off.

* i love the stories about elbaradei - they basically say that the ams are 'poring over transcripts of his ph.calls' - w/out actually saying that they spy on him. cute.

* i saw a show on the teeve that said that if u lay out each persons dna, it would go all the way to the moon. 3000 times. that seems a stretch. geddit?

* "Unfortunately the (fallujahan) insurgents are not cooperating like we would like them too, and we have to either capture them or kill them..."We are not talking of a setback, but just about insurgents hiding in houses for a chance to kill a soldier," Wilson said."

* "Nearly 3,000 British troops have been flown back to the UK for hospital treatment after being wounded, injured or falling sick in Iraq, the Ministry of Defence has disclosed.
The figure - which dwarfs the death toll of 74 troops and aircrew who have died since the invasion in March 2003 - includes hundreds of soldiers evacuated from Iraq with serious injuries or illnesses, some critical... The MoD also admitted last week that it did not even know how many casualties were combat-related until August this year. It claims that injuries and illness information is not held centrally." http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/story.jsp?story=594552
