DIVINE STRAKE FAS: "The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) today confirmed to FAS that the upcoming Divine Strake test widely reported in the media to be a non-nuclear event is in fact a low-yield nuclear weapons calibration simulation against an underground target." Only a sick mind can invent such a name. 12:43:15 PM

LA TRAHISON DES CLERCS - THE TREASON OF THE INTELLECTUALS Fair: "Most American households are not, in fact, seeing their economic fortunes improve. Wages and incomes for average workers, adjusted for inflation, are down in recent years. But rather than confront these realities, and explore the implications of the White House's efforts to deny them, most mainstream media instead assisted the Bush team's PR by themselves feigning confusion over the gap between the official view and the public mood." CommonDreams: "Florida tomato pickers converged on McDonald's Corp.'s flagship Chicago restaurant over the weekend to protest poor working conditions and wages they say have stagnated for 30 years." 12:38:31 PM

And the worst is, God's Own Party mainly consists of thugs and frauds. 12:30:26 PM

IL COGLIONE BERLUSCONI Il Cavaliere è un coglione. His preoccupation with his precious parts is known; see picture (click for larger image) and how he 'jokingly' does the doggie act on a police woman. Independent: "Yesterday the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi went further, telling a shopkeepers' association that those who voted for the left were coglioni, literally 'testicles' but usually intended to mean idiots or cretins." You have to see the documentary Viva Zapatero, which shows how Berlusconi handles his opponents. Trailer. And if you want 'the works' - il piccolo mussolini in full glory - here it is. 11:42:15 AM
