  • Court reinstates Pakistan judge in blow to Musharraf – It’s nice to know that even in a country under military dictatorial rule, they still respect the powers and judgements of the courts. It sure would be great to live in a place like that (minus the Al-Qaeda and bombs in the streets of course.)
  • U.S. Generals Request Delay in Judging Iraq – So now September isn’t long enough and Lt. General Odierno is now saying we need to wait until November. Hey, while you’re asking why not just ask to wait until about 2009? Then if it’s good the administration can take credit, if it’s a bad assessment you blame the incoming administration or just make it their problem. It’s win-win (for the hawks)!
  • Judge tosses out ex-spy’s lawsuit against Cheney in CIA leak case – And with that the issue is dead (for the most part.) Cheney gets out squeaky clean, Libby gets his sentence commuted and the machine rolls ever on and over the American people.
  • Bush to Have Colonoscopy – Alright, let’s make with the jokes. 1) Let’s see if they can wedge his head out of there for once. Zing! 2) Hopefully Cheney will take his hand out Bush’s ass long enough for the doctor to do his exam. Zing! 3) Perhaps that’s where the WMDs are hidden and, oh fuck it…Zing? Okay that sucked, next!
  • Airplane Ban on Lighters Ends Aug. 4 – But aren’t lighters still filled with, gasp, liquid? It’s going to be mayhem people! Er wait, maybe now screeners can focus on actual dangerous things and not be so concerned with people’s Bics.
  • Computer wears the crown in checkers – All your checkers are belong to us. I’m telling you, it’s one more step toward CyberDyne and T-1000s…that can beat you at chess! What’s next, Simon?
