Tony Blair Ripped Me Off (with a dime bag)

Robert at PubliusPundit has a great post detailing his travels in the Ukraine and some time spent in a tent camp in the capitol of Kiev. Unfortunately, Ukraine has experienced less progress then what was expected following the Orange Revolution. Most of this stems from infighting between the coalition and Russia (and on an interesting side note, I came across the Russophobe, which immediately caught my attention with an entry about sex and blowjobs).

If you ever take your computer to Best Buy, you’re probably asking for this to happen to you. One hundred dollars an hour to run virus scan, please, and it’ll probably be done by someone who looks like Tony Blair as a teenager (and how cute is Kim Jong! precious.)

I’m not the biggest fan of Keith Olbermann, but I am a fan of his bitch slapping of Donald Rumsfeld. I think one thing we can all united around (if it’s not our hatred for Bill O’Reilly), it’s our disgust for ol’ Rummy. Apparently I’m not the only one who thinks that being touched by the Bush administration is like the cold, icy touch of the Reaper claiming vengeance.

In the semi-serious somber footnote, check out OneVoice’s blog, where they talk about the recent struggles in the Israeli / Palestinian crisis. In their own words:

Ultimately, it is essential for Palestinians and Israelis to realize that they have a shared destiny and that they cannot let anyone hijack it. Moderate Palestinians and Israelis must strike an alliance against violent extremism before this solvable conflict becomes truly intractable if it is transformed by outsiders into a global religious struggle.

And in the joke of the day, “Previewing the final quarter of Bush’s presidency, officials disclosed to TIME that the Administration is formulating a huge energy initiative designed to “change the whole nature of the discussion” and challenge the G.O.P., Democrats, the oil and electricity industries, and environmentalists. An adviser said Bush’s views about global warming have evolved. “Only Nixon could go to China, and only Bush and Cheney—two oilmen—can bring all these parties kicking and screaming to the table,” the adviser said.” Sorry guys, Bush’s views about global warming aren’t ‘evolved’, they’re created. And that’s a lifetime of creation and decision, so don’t think about bringing up ‘facts’.
