Tidbits

John Murtha at Huffpo on the horrible murder of two US soldiers. Meanwhile, not only are Iraqis killing Americans, they're also killing other Iraqis. Can you say "start of a civil war"?

From a letter to the local newsweekly:
Bush once again did his eye examination. When in 2001 he looked into the eyes of Putin he said, “I looked the man in the eye. I was able to get a sense of his soul.” Now, he stealthfully flew to Iraq to look Prime Minister Maliki in the eye. Let us hope that Bush’s vision has improved. But maybe I’m being too critical. Perhaps he is merely a closet optometrist. Surely he couldn’t handle that job any worse than he has his present.

Yaaaaaaaay! Lewis the kitty is saved! The cat had been attacking neighbors, including an Avon lady, and he was fighting for his life in court. Now, the judge says he will live, but has to stay indoors for the rest of his life.

Elayne Riggs has discovered the Highway Sign Generator.



As it turns out, there's more where that came from. Check out the Construction Sign Generator!




How about the Vegas Sign Generator?





(Yes, it's true. Now that CBGB's has lost its NYC lease, there is talk of Hilly Kristal packing up and moving to Vegas. Joey Ramone must be spinning in his grave.)


And, of course, the error message generator.






Sheesh--I could get hooked on this if I'm not too careful!

Tell us something we don't already know

The MTA is clueless. Man, if you need a place to vent or learn the full story behind mass transit horror stories, check out Gothamist.

Then there's also the fact that the MTA was urging people not to take the subways and opt for a bus instead, only for buses to be (A) few and far between and (B) crowded as anything. They forgot to mention "(C) fucking slow." Don't the people at the MTA feel really stupid when they say shit like this? MTA CEO Lee Sander said, "We really are sorry about the inconvenience that New Yorkers had to deal with. In terms of how it happened, we had three inches of rain in an hour. The system is designed to handle 1.5 inches." This isn't quite as appalling as last year's 9-day Queens blackout--you know, the one where Con Ed lied about the number of places without power--but it still in

We're the ones we've been waiting for, and all that

Via Blue Wave News , Van Jones' speech at the Campus Progress National Conference, which rang true to this cautiously optimistic liberal. More from Mr. Jones, via HuffPo: We are trying to build a pro-democracy movement in a country that, at least for eight years, was run by [inaudible] authoritarians. And it is not going to be easy. But I tell you, the most important thing I can say is... We feed the fearmongers. We feed the politics of division, by giving it so much attention and letting it fill up the space in our mind. We have to feed the hope. This country is an extraordinary -- I get choked up -- this is an incredible, beautiful country... That little idiot box off in the corner trying to depress you and make you feel like this is a horrible country and everybody believes evil things about the president... it is just not true. Cut it off, just cut it off and walk down the street and talk to real people in this country. They are sophisticated. They are wise. They don't kno
