Poll shows support for Schwarzenegger up, but taken before reports of groping, Hitler comment

It’s about to get a lot more interesting.

Ex-Gen. Wesley Clark to Seek White House

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Dick Cheney explains why he drives an SUV.

I’m trying to figure out if $87 Billion is a lot of money. My gut instinct says yes.

God I hope this bastard goes down hard in 2004.

Hey, Dems, you’ve got your rallying cry. Now DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Here’s where you can learn more about the US soldiers killed every day in Iraq: The List.

Or, if seeing the actual faces of those killed makes you a little uncomfortable, you can view an alphabetical list.

The lists are sponsored by the Army National Guard. No, I’m serious.

Here’s a nice analysis of that annoying new Hummer H2 commercial:

H2 Ad Is Ode to Borderline Personality Disorder

I know this doesn’t prove a damn thing, but it’s chilling nonetheless:

From The Guardian:

LATEST: Dr David Kelly told a fellow weapons official that he would probably be ‘found dead in the woods’ if Britain went to war with Iraq, the Hutton inquiry heard today. More details soon …

The war in Iraq now costs $3.9 billion a month. Or, about a billion dollars a week. Yeah, you read that right, one billion dollars. Recently a school in Oregon had to shut down for summer early because they didn’t have enough money. That same week our government spent one billion dollars on the occupation of Iraq.

Here are some more numbers: Iraq Cost Could Mount to $100 Billion.

Here’s an article about Oregon’s school budget crisis: Banking on Legislature’s school budget.

Hey, I have an idea! Let’s come up with some lies about our schools that will trick our government into giving money to our states for education! Let’s try to get one billion a week! Who’s with me?

This is an idea I can definitely get behind: The Right to Party

All the headlines today are saying something to the effect of “New blasts disrupt/stop/destroy the peace process.”

So, let me get this straight: the fact that there are new terrorist attacks in Israel somehow change the fact that there needs to be discussions on how to stop all the terrorist attacks?

I know I’m over-simplifying, but doesn’t that strike anyone else as odd? I think that no matter what these idiotic terrorists (Palestinian and Israeli alike) do, there needs to be a discussion about coming up with a peace plan against all odds. The fact that there are new attacks should not change that process at all. In fact, it should accelerate it before there is more senseless killing.
