Link Vomit

Well, my longish previous rant aside, I actually have the day off today and want to spend it doing something less aggravating than blogging on the sorry state of my country. So here’s a little link vomit to tide you over:

In Peter Laufer’s new book [1], Joshua Key, a former U.S. soldier from Oklahoma, describes a “beheading orgy” in which American soldiers were literally playing soccer with the decapitated Iraqis’ heads [2].

After Cheney returns from a one-man blitz to start a new Cold War [3], is it any big surprise that the oil-producing states would rise to the occasion [4] and oblige?

Following my previous post on comparing Bush to Hitler [5], Tristero has (in distrurbing flashback style) laid out the entire slippery slope of TalibAmerica's homophobic marriage ammendment [6].

From C & L: "Bill Kristol was discussing recent comments made by Irainian Supreme Leader Ali Khameni -- then in mid-comment, Kristol stopped himself and said, with no hint of irony, "Maybe we should have Supreme Leader Bush. I kind of like the sound of that." Go check out the video [7].

Kos points out how the big telecoms [8] are now casting the Net Neutrality debate [9] as a clash between left whackos and rational centrists. Of course, if by centrists you mean greedy corporations who are determined to rob consumers and stifle innovation while we fall behind [10] the rest of the world in broadband capabilities.

Judge tells Libby defense to get their greedy mitts [11] out of the cookie jar.

Unless we find a way to make the right-wingers heads explode [12], enjoy your last chance to see [13] these creatures.
