I'm Your Conqueror, And I Approved This Message

A Marine hangs an election poster in Al Anbar province, Iraq (Reuters).

From Occupation Thwarts Democracy by John Nichols, at The Nation:

Polls suggest that the majority of Iraqis favor the quick withdrawal of US forces...
But...
Under pressure from the Bush Administration, political parties...did not propose timetables for the withdrawal of US troops from their homeland...
So they can't vote on the one issue that affects them the most. Nice election.

DON'T WISH FOR A SANDWICH

I'll make a wish that can't backfire. I wish for a turkey sandwich, on rye bread, with lettuce and mustard, and--AND--I don't want any zombie turkeys, I don't want to turn into a turkey myself, and I don't want any other weird surprises. You got it?

Hey! Not bad. Nice, hot mustard. Good bread. The turkey's a little dry...THE TURKEY'S A LITTLE DRY?!!

DIRTY SCIENCE

Scientists have begun blurring the line between human and animal by producing chimeras—a hybrid creature that's part human, part animal.
National Geographic reports the existence of human-rabit stem cells and pigs with human blood. Next up: mice with human brains!

"No job too dirty for a fucking scientist."
