  • Why isn't there more serious news on the front page of the newspapers? Mark Morford ponders that question in "Britney Spears Sucks Blackwater."

  • James Dobson says he just can't bring himself to vote for Rudy. Is it the abortion thing, or is he afraid of losing access to power?

  • A U.S. District Court judge put Lt. Ehren Watada's court-martial on hold yesterday. Can something reasonable come from it?
  • Democrats seem to have forgotten that the American public wants our troops out of Iraq. Helen Thomas calls them spineless.
  • Skeeter Sanders (who?) reveals secret transcripts that make Bush look bad. Does anyone have a secret transcript that makes Bush look good? Now THAT would be news.
  • p.m. carpenter discusses the GOP, or what's left of it.
  • Breaking News: God has told Richard Roberts (son of Oral) not to worry about that pesky litigation concerning misuse of University funds. Next week, Bad Hat reveals God's cell phone number.
  • When it comes to Blackwater, just follow the money.
  • John Edwards slams Hillary Clinton over her link to Blackwater. Here we go.
  • Bitter, angry, shallow, and vain - poor poor Clarence Thomas. "Liberals are scarier than the Ku Klux Klan." And this man is a Supreme Court Justice.

"If soldiers realized this war is contrary to what the Constitution extols — if they stood up and threw their weapons down — no president could ever again initiate a war of choice," Watada said at a Veterans for Peace convention in August 2006.

The Army, stung by Watada's public rebellion, charged him with missing the June deployment of his Fort Lewis Stryker Brigade to Iraq, and for statements considered to be conduct unbecoming an officer.

IN ACTUALITY, IT'S CALLED "A FRENCH RETREAT" AND THERE'S PLENTY OF PRECEDENT FOR IT, OVER THERE. GO GET'UM LT. WATADA IN THE PROUD TRADITION OF THE LIKES OF: Sergeant First Class Terry Teruo Kawamura, CORPORAL MIYAMURA, HIROSHI H., Rodney James Takashi Yano - Sergeant First Class,
