The Bush Administration, while publicly advocating diplomacy in order to stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, has increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack. Current and former American military and intelligence officials said that Air Force planning groups are drawing up lists of targets, and teams of American combat troops have been ordered into Iran, under cover, to collect targeting data and to establish contact with anti-government ethnic-minority groups. The officials say that President Bush is determined to deny the Iranian regime the opportunity to begin a pilot program, planned for this spring, to enrich uranium.

Here's the article from the New Yorker about the situation.

Bush needs to be made aware that there is no possible way that the use of nuclear weapons is to be considered an acceptable tactic, under any circumstances.

THE IRAN PLANS: Would President Bush go to war to stop Tehran from getting the bomb?

WASHINGTON, April 8 — The Bush administration, which publicly advocates negotiations to halt Iran's nuclear program, is accelerating military planning for possible attacks against Iran, and has not ruled out using tactical nuclear weapons, according to a new article.

The article goes on to do some spin-doctoring, but if you were thinking that this was something fictional, think again.

U.S. Stepping Up Plans to Attack Iran, New Yorker Article Says

Don't just be afraid. Get ANGRY. It doesn't matter what country you're in. A nuclear war means the end of EVERYONE. Not just people in other places.

According to this Bloomberg/AP article, Bush apparently has plans to USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS against Iran.

I don't fucking care WHAT his reasons are. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

It's time we started calling people to get his warmongering ass out of office BEFORE HE KILLS THE FUCKING WORLD.

It's time for Bush to go. Period.

I am astonished to say that Laura Ingram's radio program was the reason I found out about this. I don't normally listen to her program because she annoys me, but this evening on the way to work, she was attempting to rebut what was being said in this episode of Boston Legal by calling it "bad writing". It's kind of sad when the so-called intellectuals of talk radio so blatantly engage in Appeal to Ridicule.

Well, I'm sorry to say that while it might not make for good television, it's entirely goddamn accurate.

Watch it.

Boston Legal makes a powerful political statement

From the Sun Online, reporting that a first-run human trial of an new anti-inflammatory drug made by a company called Parexel nearly kills it's testers.

Two of the poor sods were lucky. They were given a placebo.

Drug test turns nightmare!

Oh dear.

Just when you thought it was about time the extremists were going to cool down...

They are just going to go apesnort over this.

Let's hope the Internet isn't quite as widespread over there as it could be.

Very politically (religously) incorrect cartoon

Some of you may have heard about the pot bust earlier this month where guys were growing weed in a cave underground, below a house.

Well, they're probably not going to clean it up and let us take tours to see this marvel, but WE HAVE PICTURES NOW! w00t!

Underground drugs cave pictures

I can't wait to see what happens to this one.

Basically, even though the law says they must allow it, Diebold is refusing to permit the code in their voting machines to be examined by North Carolina.

Frankly, I figure they're aware that North Carolina is going to find the same things that other people have found... That Diebold "accidentally" left "debugging" functions in place that allow anyone to change how all the votes on a particular machine are reported. (Just a note, there's no way in hell any such debugging functions would have been allowed into production ATM equipment--so it shouldn't be acceptable for voting terminals, either.)

CAN WE FINALLY START CONTEMPLATING THAT POSSIBLY THE LAST ELECTIONS WERE RIGGED OR DO WE STILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL INCUMBENTS ARE DONE SKULLFUCKING THE NATION TO AVOID THE EMBARRASSMENT OF ADMITTING EVERYONE WAS DUPED?
