“A ‘very damning’ report by the Defense Department’s inspector general
\ndepicts a Pentagon that purposely manipulated intelligence in an effort
\nto link Saddam Hussein to al-Qaeda in the runup to the U.S. invasion of
\nIraq, says the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.”<\/p>\n
“Just last week, Gates said that U.S. military officers in Baghdad were planning
\nto brief reporters on what is known about Iranian involvement in Iraq but that he
\nand other senior administration officials had intervened to delay the briefing
\nin order to assure that the information provided was accurate (manipulated?).”<\/p>\n
Overheard at a coffee shop:
\n“I just saw on the news crawl that Anna Nicole Smith died.”
\n“Oh, what of?”
\n“They didn’t say.”
\n“Can you die of from being really stupid?”
\n“If that was true I would not be having this conversation.”<\/p>\n
oh Anna Nicole Smith shades of Marilyn Monroe
\n(note is was okay for Jackie to marry Ari)
\nbelieving in the fairy tales then slammed
\nwith the reality of money and corruption
\nStuck on mammary galnds? Here!
\nGo choke yourselves! It is the devil in the details
\nof what happens to infant innocent brains
\nin the hands of master manupliators…<\/p>\n
Tell me Bill O’Reilly, Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman et al newsies
\nwho ultimately controls the Pentagon
\nand who controls the office of the president
\n(not who our laws, say do)
\nwhen Iran\/Contra is swept under America’s rug
\nwhen Nixon’s illegal bombing in Cambodia also under that rug
\nand he, Nixon, is pardoned for the lesser crime of Watergate?<\/p>\n
By phone today:
\n“Mr. Peters?”
\n“Yes?”
\n“This is Irma at Dr. Azucar’s office. You had a negative stress test and
\nhave to meet with Dr. Costoso, the cardiologist, next Wednesday at 1:00 p.m.”
\n“Okay. What does a negative stress test mean?”
\n(sound of papers being ruffled)
\n“It says here that you are in imminent danger of a heart attack.”
\n“If an attack is imminent should we wait until next week to see the cardiologist?”
\n“Yes. He’s out of town until then.”<\/p>\n
Yes Dorothy, you can die from stupid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
