Eating Placenta With Zero Gravity Tough, but Virg is Betting on Tom

Tom Cruise is intending to eat Katie Holmes' placenta after his fiancée has given birth to their baby.
“I have been training to get my body accustomed to zero gravity for months now,” Cruise told reporters. “That’s why I jumped up and down on Oprah’s couch.” Cruise said he and Holmes chose the moon because “it is really, really quiet there,” adding, “There are no human beings on the moon, no paparazzi, and most importantly, no psychiatrists.”

"Elsewhere, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld got a vote of confidence today from a retired member of the Texas Air National Guard. "

Bush & Neocons Fear For White House Traditions If Romney Elected

“I have no problems with Jews, Arabs, or Mormons, but I fear for our Easter Egg Roll if Romney, or any other non-Christian takes over the White House,” George W. Bush announced yesterday. “This is not against Mormons, but the tradition has already been damaged by the queers. I’d feel the same way about Joe Lieberman if he had a Chinaman’s chance,” Bush added. Bush said that he admired the Mormons’ balls for not admitting blacks to the priesthood until 1978. He agrees with “the Mormon belief that some Native Americans are actually members of the Lost Tribe of Israel, among other things. Don't misunderstand, I'm not putting down the Mormon religion & I would personally have no problem whatsoever voting for a Mormon candidate. However, . . . Mormons are a strange cult.”

Lilly Livered Coward Peace Creep Hippies Criticize Rummy

THOSE BASTARDS!-THEY'RE TRYING TO KILL DONNIE
“We went to war with a flawed plan that didn't account for the hard work to build the peace after we took down the regime. We also served under a secretary of defense who didn't understand leadership, who was abusive, who was arrogant, who didn't build a strong team." - Retired Army Maj. Gen. John Batiste.

"My sincere view is that the commitment of our forces to this fight was done with a casualness and swagger that are the special province of those who have never had to execute these missions - or bury the results." - Retired Marine Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold.

"They only need the military advice when it satisfies their agenda. I think that's a mistake, and that's why I think he should resign." - Retired Army Maj. Gen. John Riggs.

"We grow up in a culture where accountability, learning to accept responsibility, admitting mistakes and learning from them was critical to us. When we don't see that happening it worries us. Poor military judgment has been used throughout this mission." - Retired Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni, former chief of U.S. Central Command.

"I really believe that we need a new secretary of defense because Secretary Rumsfeld carries way too much baggage with him. ... I think we need senior military leaders who understand the principles of war and apply them ruthlessly, and when the time comes, they need to call it like it is." - Retired Army Maj. Gen. Charles Swannack.

"He has shown himself incompetent strategically, operationally and tactically, and is far more than anyone responsible for what has happened to our important mission in Iraq. ... Mr. Rumsfeld must step down." - Retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton.
“Rumsfeld has lost the support of the uniformed military officers who work for him. Make no mistake: The retired generals who are speaking out against Rumsfeld in interviews and op-ed pieces express the views of hundreds of other officers on active duty. When I recently asked an Army officer with extensive Iraq combat experience how many of his colleagues wanted Rumsfeld out, he guessed 75 percent. Based on my own conversations with senior officers over the past three years, I suspect that figure may be low.” Replace Rumsfeld By David Ignatius, Washington Post

ENTER OUR HERO-Bush voices strong support for Rumsfeld
“I reiterated my strong support for his leadership during this historic and challenging time for our nation,” George W. Bush

AND THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY-Rumsfeld Shrugs Off Calls for Resignation

For a different perspective on Virgil's "fair and balanced" approach, see Not-so-idle Questions on Rumsfeld's Generals, but remember that Virgil is right and Rummy & W. are jerks and their policies suck whether the generals said so or not.

"We have found the weapons of mass destruction"-Bush May 29, 2003

That was a lie, of course, and he knew it.
Terrorism really is a tricky business. See post below.

Terrorism is a tricky business

“. . . terrorism doesn't frighten Western leaders as much as they pretend. Rather it's a potent weapon for political incumbents. Any magician will tell you that the secret of all conjuring tricks and illusions is misdirection. The audience is tricked into looking away while the switch is made or the trapdoor opened. Thus terror is used to trick the terrified, distracting attention from more urgent issues.
In Bush's case, from poverty, public health, decaying infrastructure, environmental scandals, budget blowouts. If you take the nail clippers from air travellers they mightn't notice the injustices of the Bush tax cuts. Terrorism is the biggest example of misdirection since Hitler blamed Germany's problems on the Jews. As he said: ‘If the Jews didn't exist we'd have to invent them.’ In the same way, the West invents the terrorist threat. The problems that cause terrorism are not addressed. The big money is spent on the advertising campaign known as the war on terror.” Terrorism is a tricky business by Phillip Adams in The Australian

Bush Administration Reverses Wetlands Decline - If Golf Courses Count

“. . . the feds just redefined ‘wetland’ to include, yes, sewage ponds, ponds created to grow fish or water cattle, and all those barren or cattail-choked ponds dug out to collect human-generated runoff. You see these runoff ponds along highways, near shopping malls, in golf courses and in suburban developments. Now they are all being counted as ‘wetlands.’" How to explain the new increase in wetlands? Just count anything wet by Judy Helgen, Star Tribune That allowed them to show an increase in wet lands while native wet lands actually decreased.
Golf, of courses, also pollutes with pesticides & fertilizer and guzzles scarce water resources. For more on golf see, Augusta, the Masters, and Golf In General - What Happened To Your Noble Roots?

Many believe it's is up to the President to destroy any good will we may have built up in the world. Bell proves that private industry can help.

2. The symbol for the element tungsten.

3. A corrupt, evangelical, fundamentalist fool who cannot or will not recognize the results of his policies (civil war, huge debt, increasing interest rate that will soon raise many Americans' minimum payments above their income with harsh bankruptcy rules, long lasting environmental problems, corruption in DC, using the Bible for a science book, calling for more math and science majors while cutting the student loan program, etc) and will sell out his own country and its troops to make his failed policies and lies look rational and true.

Augusta, the Masters, and Golf In General - What Happened To Your Noble Roots?

“Golf is a pussy game-Just like American football.” Seamus O’Lingle
It is compared to the day when Setanta’s sliotar found its mark. There are, however, even today, true traditions that haven't abandoned Cuchulainn’s spirit as golf has done. Virgil salutes the noble lads and lasses who carry on the real traditon with camogie, hurling, and shinty.

Jesus May Love Um, But I Don't

1.Racist, misogynistic, privileged, fratboys, who have no empathy and who would "plan on killing the bitches as soon as the (sic) walk in and proceding (sic) to cut their skin off while (ejaculating) in my duke (sic) issue spandex" even though they haven't sent thousands to their deaths for no reason other than their own egocentric ignorance and arrogance.

2. George W. Bush who has. His leaking may even make it tough for Jesus to love him.

Say It Ain’t So John

“John McCain says he longer considers evangelist Jerry Falwell to be one of the ‘agents of intolerance’ that he criticized during a previous White House run.” “ . . McCain recently agreed to speak at Falwell's Liberty University . . .He stood by his choice yesterday after being reminded of some of Falwell's positions, such as blaming 9/11 on God's anger over ‘the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians.’"

Male & Female Christs, The Cross, The Stake, & The Tongue Screw.

In April, 1573, Maeyken Wens of Antwerp, was arrested because, though a woman, she refused to remain silent. She remained in prison until October and turned down offers of freedom in exchange for her silence. She “was sentenced to death by fire and, because of her ability to persuade others, she was compelled to go to her death in the public square wearing a tongue-screw, so that she could not preach or sing as she passed through the crowds on her way to the stake. She had two sons: a teenager named Adrian, and a toddler named Jan. On the fateful day of her execution, Adrian carried his younger brother on his shoulders so that they could see their mother one last time. As the fire was lit, Adrian fainted, and did not regain consciousness until his mother's body had been consumed by the fire. He later poked through the ashes, to see if he could find some remembrance of her. All he could find was the terrible tongue-screw, which had kept her from speaking of her faith during her final moments. But that is not the end of the story. Van Braght, who wrote the account one hundred years later, mentions that he himself knew Maeyken's grandchildren, and that they still had the tongue-screw, the final relic of their martyred grandmother. That instrument, devilishly designed to deny communication, had in reality become the means by which the story was being repeated. I like to think that somewhere, there are still parents passing that tongue-screw from hand to hand, telling once again the spellbinding story of Grandma Maeyken, who gave her life at the stake, but who could not be silenced even in death, because her story was still being faithfully passed from generation to generation.”

Oral Sex OK According to Sister Sharon, Our Leaders, and the Church

“oral sex is a hundred times safer than vaginal or anal sex.” Sharon Stone

“I have been advocating oral sex with Sharon Stone for several years.” Bill Clinton

Antonin-The Guardian of the Constitution Unless They Mess With His Boys

“Screw the Constitution and Geneva, Sheneva” says Tony. "If he was captured by my army on a battlefield, that is where he belongs. I had a son on that battlefield and they were shooting at my son, and I'm not about to give this man who was captured in a war a full jury trial. I mean it's crazy"
"This isn't the first time Mr. Scalia has commented on matters before the court. Two years ago he recused himself from a Pledge of Allegiance case after making public comments about the matter." "’This is clearly grounds for recusal,’ said Michael Ratner of the Center for Constitutional Rights, a human-rights group that has filed a brief in behalf of the Gitmo detainees. ‘I can't recall an instance where I've heard a judge speak so openly about a case that's in front of him-without hearing the arguments.’"
