My Norwegian is more than a bit rusty, but this is what I have gleaned from the interview with Blute Hammersk.

That’s right. It’s time to Eat Your Liver! After reading this Associated Press story about how taxpayers foot the bill for W’s campaign trips, you’ll want to buy some onions. They apparently meet at private homes in order to bar the press. I would imagine such planning also neutralizes any booing and name-calling by frustrated […]

My pal Jack in D.C. gave me the heads up on this New York Times story which reports that Tomlinson may be “running a horse operation” out of his Voice of America office. You’ll remember him as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting chief who left that position when his leadership style was not the best […]

…and wants Johnny Depp to play him.
Mr. Karr may not have a range of emotion, but he was able to convince two governments’ immigration and law enforcement departments to bring him back to Boulder.
Maybe he should play Johnny Depp, instead.

An AP story stated that according to Rummy, Bush critics suffer from a “moral and intellection confusion” and are appeasers to boot. Nevertheless, I believe the Secretary of Defense would have difficulty finding many who were against the invasion of Afghanistan, the toppling of the Taliban and the chase after Osama bin-Laden and his video […]

It seems as if the Nevada Highway Patrol caught the fugitive from the FBI’s TEN MOST WANTED list. I wonder if any of W’s faith-based federal funds had helped these folks and their prophet.

The Rasmussen Survey proclaims that voters in most states say the political system is a mess.
Raw Story had two articles about grotesque voting problems in Florida and California. These problems will undoubtedly reverberate in other states as Florida’s 2000 election set the standard for Ohio’s 2004 debacle.

The linked Associated Press story mentions leaking boxes of extremeties, embezzlement and worse. I suggest you blow up the photo you can reach by the link because it is scarier than my attempt to soften the aesthetic blow of this story which refuses to die.

Secret evidence, which the defandant cannot see, has military lawyers worried vis-a-vis the Geneva Accords. Just because the court struck down these tribunals doesn’t mean King Jr. has a problem with making it up as he goes.

Who are you going to believe: the EPA or your lying eyes?
Talk about the dangers of second-hand smoke! I really wonder what percentage of the first responders believed the EPA. They would have gone into rescue mode anyway. The firemen who rushed to Chernobyl knew the score. Bravery is a pre-requisite of first responders’ […]

Several years ago, their governor mentioned that North Dakota sounds cold. I had offered him any number of alternative names, but he and the legislature must have decided against an alias.
