Quick Blurb: On the phone entry

At work, on the phone and listening to hold music. Fun!

Anyways, some items that interested me this morning.

Our troops in Afghanistan are dipping into the local heroin stash as their service grows equally more dangerous and more dull.

The richest guy in the world is a Mexican. Now, if we can get him to hire more people, we could stop worrying about the border.

Some Republicans aren't all about destroying civilization as a few stand up to Tancredo and his jones about bombing Mecca.

That said, the Westboro Baptist Church is thanking God for killing people in the bridge collapse in Minneapolis. Joy. Meanwhile, Bush is offering to help rebuild the bridge. Hope that goes better than reconstructing New Orleans. If I were those folks, I'd say thanks, but no thanks.

The Democrats, for some inexplicable reason, has given Bush the power to spy on Americans even moreso than before. So much for having privacy in this country, and so much for all the rhetoric of stopping this dictator. A sampling of editorials on the issue.
