Kerik Pulls Out

[regular tom]

it's a brainfiber kind of headline.  i just wish there was some way to incorporate the "bush nominee" designation into the humor*.  



*that's united statesian for "humour"

[regular tom]

it seems mighty convenient to have this guy "pull out" because he had illegal immigrants on his domestic payroll when the real story is this:

"In just the last three years, Mr. Kerik, 49, made millions of dollars, mainly through his partnership in a security consulting firm headed by Mr. Giuliani and by serving on the board of a stun-gun manufacturer that has been seeking to do business with Homeland Security. Most recently, Mr. Kerik sold $5.8 million of stock in the stun-gun company."

Here is a bringdown quote from an interview with comic book writer Mark Millar that Tripp posted a link to:

"My feeling is that over the next year some kind of incident will happen or be arranged that prompts a nationwide call for the draft and pre-emptive strikes on Syria, North Korea, Iran and all the world hot spots. This isn't such a conspiracy theory here in Europe. Many mainstream politicians are very skeptical of what happening and worried about even the short-term consequences for the world. In the name of oil, this administration is stirring up a hornet's nest and, even though I'm a huge optimist, I think we're heading for some kind of Armageddon. I just can't see a good way out of this situation and, after decades of seeing Britain try to deal with the IRA, I know you don't defeat terrorists by killing their families. My own belief is that there'll be a couple of nuclear attacks in the States, the multinationals will move elsewhere, the American economy will completely collapse and make the 30s look like the 80s and the Middle East will be occupied by drafted teenagers from your home town. But don't get me started. I hope I'm completely and utterly wrong. I suspect we turned a corner on November 3rd and America just has to live with the consequences of that now."

[Moetown]

I've been using the pullout method for years, and I have to say, it really does save face.

You might call it a "vowel(l)" movement.

[Pogo!]

[Poop Fresh-Herbed Pickles]

Yep.  That's for sure.

Four more years of decline

George Bush's new administration will be filled with mediocrities


Well, it could be argued that that is already the case...
