I've just found out something terrible! Iraq may soon aquire nuclear weapons. US senators have called this both terrible, hideous, and monstrous, and 78 countries have asked the UN to judge nuclear weaponry inhumane. (more)
Remember the Indonesian bombing? Well, first they said al Qaeda did it. Then they said the Indonesian army did it. Now they're saying it was a CIA bombing. Given the fact that the Australian government is playing buddy-buddy with the US spectres right now, it's no surprise that the Australian government is making political protest illegal. Protecting freedom, that's what we're doing. After all, isn't our freedom why the terrorists hate us?

Like a colossus; and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves."

While reading the news this morning, I came across a banner ad for Amazon that said "BUY amazon.com & SUPPORT ISRAEL". When I clicked on it, it did not appear to be a referral collecting link. As someone who has spent thousands of dollars at amazon.com, I am very concerned to find out that my spending there may be contributing to war in the Middle East. Can you please confirm (a) whether my spending at amazon.com causes political or nationalist donations to occur, and (b) the specifics of those contributions.
In other news, nearly a quarter million jobs are expected to be lost in the UK if the Iraq war keeps rolling ahead. In other news, our good Pakistani allies have democratically elected a Taliban leadership, so neither Musharraf nor the US are very thrilled about it. Remember, just like freedom of religion only applies to good Christians, democracy doesn't count if you elect people we don't like.
And finally, let me just say: Yay! My favorite online comic has been updated. Click the comic below to go to it now (just don't be too disappointed, only four new strips have been added; given the material he's got to work with, I wish they came out faster):
