Battles with Integrity

I present KingDaddy's discussion of the current administration's exhortations to Israel to widen the Middle East conflict. While KingDaddy notes that while Israel has spurned US officials' recommendations that they attack Syria, it shows a disturbing tell that GWB and Company have failed to learn any meaningful lessons from their current adventurism in Iraq. Lovely.

There's a Newsweek political cartoon this week showing a couple looking on at a Jeremiah carrying a sign that reads "The End is Near". The man looks to his friend and says, "That used to be funny."

Welcome to the desert of the surreal.

Also, I just read an article about Oliver Stone's film, World Trade Center, which is coming out soon. I don't know if I'm looking forward to sobbing in the theater, but I think I perhaps shall see this one anyway.

In happier news, darkforge is not just a square, he's a cube. Happy birthday, man, and felcitations on your 3^{^3}!
