Sounds like it's time for the dynamic duo of Bush-man and Blair, the boy wonder to go get Iran!
They're the super-criminals behind this, right?

When I first saw the story (read: heard the explosion and spoke to friends living in perpetual twilight) I was amazed they weren't blaming the bogey, erm, I mean terrorist man. Apparently there were sounds of a light aircraft moments before the explosion though, so maybe they're just leaving their options open.

Out of curiosity what is Bush man's secret superpower? The ability to lie convincingly?

The abillity to steal whole oil wells in a single military action?

Bush-man has Neo-con radical mind bendy powers; he can make people believe the stupidest things, and then feel good about themselves for it.

Osmam-bin-Baddie has similar, if less potent, powers, but he also has an orbiting platform of WMD's (got em from Saddam, don't ask me how he got em into orbit, though), so it's kinda urgent we do something.

So, does the fact that nary a whisper of the 'T' word has been uttered by either Mr Blair or Mr Bush bring any of y'all to the realization that your cynicism has more to do w/ your own issues and misconceptions of what is really going on in the world than any basis in reality?

Naww. I understand. It's more fun for you to mock others instead of objectively looking at the facts.

I understand it's easier for you to mock us than admit the person you voted for is a war mongering moron.

No. Don't you guys listen. Iran is the one who thinks that since the Holocaust didn't REALLLY happen, then its ok to exterminate the Jews now. Thus they plan to "wipe Isreal from the map".

Isreal, not Britain.

No. This is clearly a French reaction to losing their Olympic bid.

The rumours that I am related to a canine are grossly exaggerated.

I don't quite know what Bush would have to say about it. He's not exactly in the British loop. Come to think of it, he's not exactly in the US loop, either. But, I digress ... British authorities have repeatedly said there is no evidence of foul play. It's been in the news often.

I'm not quite sure what is not being said that you need said. The topic has been addressed.


Nearly everything I know I learned by the grace of others.

This was totally awesome. The only sad thing is that I was going to end this email with that line, but now I see Chris beat me to it. Damn.

I think Bush and Blair are such commie-wackos that I'd make fun of them for anything. I make fun of their hair.

Actually, I saw Bush today. He seemed amazingly coherent. I was impressed. He's actually thinking that now that he's pretty much screwed up the planet and is in a hole the size of Kansas and all the people he hired to do hiw job for him are in jail he might actually take a spin off the ranch and actually try being president. I'm somewhat curious to see how it works out for him.
