Chin Up
What's the deal with Carmen anyhow? Is she a U.S. citizen? Natural born? I guess the proof is in the origin of Mr. Stantis' pencils. PaperMate? That would make her American. But somehow I imagine him using a Hello Kitty pencil to stabble her image - making her a real Rae Dawn Chong.
Like little Miss Dawn Chong, I think a combination of CJo's and the Furnace's words would make the most sense here, but in lieu of that, I bring you the news:
A fourth former US army general in less than a month today called on the US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, to resign over his handling of the war in Iraq. Serve and protect your country, unless you disagree. Great message to send to the troops, "leaders."
Gay Parents Line Up for Easter Egg Roll. To roll and collect eggs laid by gay chickens? What? We don't know if the chickens are gay? They're not going around announcing "I'm a gay chicken?" Shame on the chickens. We should be able to DEFINE them as hetero or homo poultry. Damn them to hell!
Scalia's Proudest Moment. Enjoy being broken on the wheel in hell for your pride, devout Catholic.
And finally, while not really "news" - it's new to you, to me, to 99% of the globe. Stupid Comics of the past, aka Scott's inspiration as a youngster.

Yeah, how dare they disagree with Rumsfeld for not properly equipping the troops with body armor, invading a country without an exit plan, and a "thousand other tactical errors" to quote Conde Rice.

Maybe if they weren't "former" generals, their words would carry some weight.
Doesn't having an "exit plan" undermine the very idea of "invasion?" It could just be me, though.
Smoking pollo, eh? Avian "flu," right....

Why are they "former" generals? Because they were "asked" to retire when they told Rummy he was a moron. And last time I checked, we weren't invading so we could take over - we were invading to free the Iraqis from Saddam. Not exactly something we need to stick around for after he's gone.

From the few sources I have seen, the "former" generals retired of their own accord excepting Shinseki, and one of them is, in fact, asking that currently enlisted officers echo their calls.
There has been no clear rationale for Iraq; I was indulging in some wordplay.
