Signs of the apocalypse

A USC professor predicted in 2004 that the Iraq war would be good for recruiting terrorists. Piece of cake, he said:
"It's elementary stuff," Dekmejian says of the conclusion (in an administration report released last week) that we've only multiplied our enemies and made ourselves less safe. "It's primitive stuff. No surprises. No secrets."
The New York Daily News has a whole page full of quotes from former Rep. Mark Foley in which he strenuously defends kids from dirty old men who want to bone them. "These kids are young. I think that they should maybe be learning something other than being nude together and being thrown in a hot tub."

Hold that thought, Foley. The NY Times has a nice photograph of a Capitol maintenance man taking your name off your old office door.

A writer tried to live a "conservative lifestyle" for a month. Among his findings: The LOTR movies are conservative because Sam:Frodo::Blair:Bush. "Here's this mission that we're going off on. We've got to go do this thing that nobody understands." "OK, I'm with you."

Even if you're just going to Canada, you'll soon need a passport just to get back into the U.S.
