Holy shit, Bush really is a uniter. Who'd a thunk?

The cross-community demonstration of support for Fallujah had been organized by Baghdad clerics both Sunni and Shiite amid reports that the death toll in the town had reached 105 since late Tuesday.
To put it very mildly, I've had a dim view of this whole affair since before the beginning. But even my tin foil capped head never imagined anything bring together the Shia and Sunnis. Way to go Georgie! Mission accomplished!

Arianna Huffington loves blogs (super annoying Salon day pass required.)

Simply put, blogs are the greatest breakthrough in popular journalism since Tom Paine broke onto the scene....

All of which has made the blogosphere such a vital news source in our country -- and has made me besotted with blogs. It's a crush that I'm betting will quickly progress to going steady.

Thought Tom or someone might be interested in this (via boingboing): Classic Gamer Magazine. 6 meg .pdf download. Apparently chock full of screen shots from all the old classic video games.

THEATER OF WAR

"Bomb the Mosque":

I think that I'm going to make an effort to incorporate this expression into my everyday chatter, as a phrase synonymous with "throw the baby out with the bath water..."

Ex: you can come up with your own. If this were vietnam, soldiers might already be using it.

As in, "Hey! Whatever you do, man, don't bomb the mosque!!!"

(don't insult your guest and crash into his car as well, or don't fire all teachers just because you don't like the way the school is run. . .)
