Weird, Sad, Glad

In the Blackwater Convoy Massacre case, we may have the unusual circumstance of a criminal coverup literally involving new paint.  Reminds me of the year Harvey Keitel played cleanup man in both Pulp Fiction and Point of No Return.  Guess they called Victor the Cleaner in.

Snow in Baghdad.

For the first time in living memory, or maybe the second.  As MoJo says, Bush has made hell freeze over.

I thought the headline was talking about this.  Good for W, acknowledging the reality of Israel occupying Palestinian territory.  It's good every time he acknowledges reality.  Perhaps there is hope.

Kidding!

This is depressing: in China, city inspectors beat a blogger to death for filming their confrontation with villagers.

This is, too: Rumsfeld, et al skate as the torture lawsuit against them is dismissed -- brought by innocent (they've since been released) British citizens. 

And another thing.  I've been worrying about Blackwater and Dyncorp creating sociopathic criminals.  Looks like the Army might be doing it, too, as came to light when these Iraq vet would-be bank robbers in Colorado Springs poured bullets into their buddy.

Oh, just great.  The speedboat-destroyer incident in the Straits of Hormuz?  The "you will explode in two minutes"?  It may well have been a famous anonymous radio prankster Navy men call "Filipino Monkey."  What a stupid reason to start a war.

Then again, there's the one we started thanks to Curveball. 

But cheer up.  Looks like Mars is safe for a while longer.
