News Break #1

Here are a few news items from months past that I'd intended to write about but got distracted or lazy-- check them out, they're hilarious:

Come One, Come All, Join The Terror Target List (An article about the frivolity of America's list of potential terrorist targets including, amongst thousands of others "whose criticality is not readily apparent" according to the Department of Homeland Security, the Amish Country Popcorn Factory, a petting zoo in Alabama, the Mule Day Parade in Columbia, Tennessee, and 718 different mortuaries across the nation. Way to safeguard our vital interests, you cunts.)

Audit: FBI's Patriot Act snooping broke rules (Surprise surprise... you give a governmental agency the ability to act without any oversight and they misplace or just plain forget to record several thousand instances of domestic spying. Whether the FBI did it intentionally or just has the organizational skills of your average fourth grader, they should all be fired, stripped and flogged in public.)

Weapons Of Mass Destruction - The Lies They Told US (A collection of awesomely contradictory quotes and, it turns out (surprise again!) outright lies from the Bush and Blair administrations regarding evidence of WMD's for the invasion of Iraq.)


Sorry for the weird formatting-- either Blogger hates the shit out of me right now, or it just disagrees with my politics.
