I thought it was kinda catchy. I'll be humming it on the walk home.

I'd like to see them do this with a CAD model of the Lakeview area of New Orleans around where the levee broke.

In this video, Chrissie Hynde, formerly of The Pretenders, collaborates with one of the most popular artists in Spain, Jarabe de Palo, fronted by Catalan artist Pau Donés.

This appears in Jarabe de Palo's album 1 Metro Cuadrado (One Square Meter).

Enzoblue, I have to disagree. I am a former Marine-- I was in during Gulf War I, stationed in Quantico, where this Sergeant is now. The five part order includes an objective. As a Lieutenant, I was required to give an objective, and if the order was well-formed, that objective was clear. Going into a mission without a clear objective is tantamount to suicide. That was the first thing I learned when I learned to give orders at TBS. Having servicemen follow unclear objectives isn't discipline and it isn't patriotism: it is poor leadership.

Granted, I participated in my share of mickey mouse maneuvers where the objective was not clear, but normally that was because the C.O. had not done his homework (sometimes that C.O. was me!), or there was a lack of information. That is understandable. But an order cannot lack a clear objective because of political expedience. This is what these servicemen are objecting to.

Shouldn't this have a politics tag?

Ouch, ant, he's only 45! I'm only a few years younger... sorry, I'm just feeling a little like a dinosaur these days.

Wow. You can listen to BBC coverage of the coup here:

BBC4: A Very British Coup
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/document/document_20050822.shtml

The BBC even admit their own involvement in the coup here.

Anyone remember George Carlin's "United Consumer Fuckers"?

Tracon: double plus good!

Peretz, the ad isn't about that. It's about how Bush will flip flop and waffle and change his song for political gain. When it was time for him to go to war, he continuously missed muster-- essentially making him a draft dodger. And he has the nerve to criticize veterans who went to that same war.

Listening to Bush question the bravery and resolve of actual warriors who now question his strategy would be comical if his misguided policies weren't killing our troops. I was in the Marines during Gulf War I, and I can only say I'm glad I was working for Bush Sr. and not Bush Jr.

Please get this movie. I was squirming around in my seat watching it. It made me want to go do geeky things.

If I could send an email to Bush, it would be this:

"Don't forget to measure"

Hey deathcow:

perl -e "$_=q(Jhfg%nabgure%syvc-sybccvat%wnpxnff);y/n-za-mA-ZM-N%/a-zA-Z /;print"

The scene with Ernie rolling around in bed was priceless.
