David Frum, speaking on NPR's Marketplace points out that nations don't go to war for oil -- that makes no economic sense. They do go to war for access to oil. Fucking genius right there.

I haven't been following the news for the past couple of days, but I just heard we've hit the trifecta. Three wars! (Not counting drugs. We've always been at war with drugs.) Did I miss the part where congress declared war? I know it's old and quaint, what with the parchment thing and all, but I'm kinda fond of the constitution.

CNN alone will have a team of roughly 400 reporters, cameramen and crew assigned to the wedding. The network has 50 people on the ground working on the breaking news in Japan, plus others scattered in Bahrain, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt.

Why can't I have a representative like this?

Note the picture of "Alito" at the top of the segment. Most trusted name in propaganda.

I read Frank Rich is going from the Times to NY Mag. Is that true? If the Times wanted to confound their critics they would hire Glenn Greenwald as the new liberal op-ed voice. Of course I don't think the Times cares at all about making me happy or confounding their critics.
