Broken Hallelujah

Good Morning... it's Friday! I really appreciate your stopping by.



The If or WHEN Shuffle

I really enjoy watching people in the adminstration, etc, squirm when trying to remember to say "IF or WHEN we go to war". Most notably at news conferences with Rumsfield, Ari Fleischer, Tommy Franks; or television news shows. The delicate dance of trying to say IF or WHEN, wink, wink we go to war without flinching, with as much authority as they can muster. I imagine them in a huddle before the game, er news conference, saying, "Do not say 'when we go in next week, Ari.' If or when, if or when. OK. Put me in coach." These are very bright people, but when you have your mind dead set [intended] on one idea, and are questioned relentlessly about it, it can't be easy to jump circuit and lie midstream. Occasionally, they'll slip up and hastily correct themselves. Soon followed by the facial tick, shoe-shufflin', chin-rubbin', and "I'll take one more question" or "that's all, folks, Thank You". If or WHEN my aching ass.



Not married by America

Mesmerized by Fox’s reality show Married by America? Then consider this reality: Not one same-sex couple, no matter how many decades they’ve been together, has a fraction of the rights that two strangers will get when they say “I do” on this TV program.

The Color Of Money

The federal government will unveil a new $20 bill that will introduce a predominant but subtle color into the background, marking the first time in modern history that a U.S. bill will feature a color other than green. It's coming out on the 27th of March. I wonder what color they'll use. Blue? [via: CNN]



Searching For What?

1. Pretenders' + comment + on + war + in + Iraq. Damn, you're good! How can you possibly know that I only read that story and didn't post it here.

2. photoblog + cunt. No photoblog here.

British troops had been told an invasion of Iraq would begin on March 17, with a huge bombing campaign being launched four days earlier, the Daily Express in London has reported.



UPDATED 11:51 AM

**-- U.N. diplomat tells CNN amended resolution would give Iraq 10-day deadline to comply with inspectors or face military action. Decided by the US and UK today.** Sounds like they're really on their March 17th date that the British papers were previsouly reporting.
