Border Patrol Kids!
Please tell me this is some kind of joke. Talbots is selling
Border Patrol Pajamas for the kids, complete with colorful little helicopter gunships!
Rumsfeld, ummm, mis-spoke about shoot down
During Secretary Rumsfeld's recent "see how much I care" trip to Iraq, he mentioned that on Sept 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 93 had been
"shot down" over Pennsylvania. This has fueled
continuing speculation over whether the plane crashed because of actions inside the cockpit, or because it had been shot down, perhaps by U.S. military planes. Today, the Pentagon is insisting that
Mr. Rumsfeld misspoke.
Coulter to Islam: See what you're missing?
At first I thought this was a
joke, but then I was reminded: We don't need to invent things to mock Ann Coulter. She provides them herself. From the front page of today's edition of
her web site:
To The People Of Islam:
Just think: If we'd invaded your countries, killed your leaders and converted you to Christianity YOU'D ALL BE OPENING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS RIGHT ABOUT NOW!
Merry Christmas
That's right, because nothing expresses Christian Values in the same way as invasion, killing, and forced religious conversion.
Cuba to US: Merry Christmas
Cuba has been
miffed about the Christmas decoration at the U.S. interests section in Havana. The Cuban government repeatedly demanded its removal, particularly since the U.S. decoration used the number
75 to show "solidarity" with Cuban activists imprisioned over the last year. The U.S. declined to remove the decoration and today the Cubans
erected two huge billboards showing the abuse at Abu Ghraib, and a swastika.
