I know where to place this statue that has everyone “sickened.”
How about right in front of the main entrance to the UN?

Ted Rall climbed out of his hole, did not see his shadow, and promptly puked up this bile that John Scalzi found the need to post.
I skimmed it, because reading it was easier than working out to get my blood rate up and at target heart rate. It is the usual conspiracy theory/Afghanistan as oil power play bilge that Rall and others are known for, but I just stopped at this line:
Did George W. Bush know in advance that the United States would be attacked on September 11? We do not know.
Time for the aluminum foil hat and a six month hiatus for you Mr. Rall. Crawl back in your hole. Demon, begone.

More Sci- Than Fi, Physicists Create Antimatter
Physicists working in Europe announced yesterday that they had passed through nature’s looking glass and had created atoms made of antimatter, or antiatoms, opening up the possibility of experiments in a realm once reserved for science fiction writers. Such experiments, theorists say, could test some of the basic tenets of modern physics and light the way to a deeper understanding of nature.

I am sure CNN will somehow blame this on Israel.

Daschle blasts Bush economic record in a preview of Democrats’ campaign
In Daschle’s world, nothing helps an economy more than a fresh round of taxation and regulatory intervention, along with the obligatory redistribution of wealth. Alas, Bush et. al don’t buy this line of thinking. Thus, according to Daschle, their record is “atrocious.”
For Shame.

Reports are that Saddam will have nukes in 3 months or less. So the U.N. wants to give him 12 months.
Time to withdraw funding and support from the U.N., kick them out of NY, and then charge all the bastards for all the parking tickets they ran up. The U.N. can headquarter itself somehwere where it finds its mission better understood. Maybe in Libya, with their Human Rights Chair, Ghaddafi.

Is it just me, or does the acronym for the Iraqi inspections teams look eerily similar to its real purpose?
UNMOVIC: United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission
UNMOVING.
