1. Can you believe the shit Norbizness said to me at the water cooler this morning? — “Say, did you know we’re involved in a systemic pattern of torture? Sorry, if you want to bum a smoke off of me, you’re going to have to listen to me talk about the 600 people involved in this travesty. Oh, I am TOO a fun person to be around!” — And I just wanted a cig. and to talk about how much the Sox have sucked over the past five (except for Saturday.)
2. Bush Leverage With Russia, Iran, China Falls as Oil Prices Rise — Bill Cohen: “It’s a geopolitical nightmare. . . . [Such nations as Iran, Russia and China] don’t see us as the colossus that can cause them any harm, either by our economy or by our prestige.”
3. Giving Bush a Pink Slip — Protesters protest OFFAL in New York.
4. Thousands march to stop Darfur killing — Protesters protest Darfur genocide in the US.

6. Target as Bad as Wal-Mart? You Decide — …in terms of wages and benefits, working conditions, sweatshop-style foreign suppliers, and effects on local retail communities, big box Target stores are very much like Wal-Mart, just in a prettier package.

Listening to the AP Radio news update the top stories were, in this order:
– Immigrants protesting
– Iraqis protesting (for more security)
– Texans protesting (gas prices force boycott of Exxon)
– Turkey protesting our use of their country to attack Iran
– Social security will be bankrupt by 2040
Whooweee! Sounds like things are headed in the right direction!
I protest! The world will descend into global-warming-induced-chaos long before 2040. Let’s crack the trust fund open and party hard like it’s 2039!
