Borat Sagdiyev Apparently his new movie will say more about Americans than it does his anti-semitism.

My best assignment was when I did reporting for Miss Kazakhstan Contest from 2002. Wowowoeewow! It was win by Karangash Atmova. You know her? She have beautiful hair and pair of ... teets? ... that make a dangle 1.3 meter because she attach a rock to them ... 1.4 meter including milk valve. It was judged by American sports star OJ Simpson. You know him? One of the contestants become so obsessed with him that she break into his hotel room, and she kill herself. But before doing so, she smear blood all over his clothes. There are crazy these female fans!

  CNN poll time

Finally, some light bulbs have been glowing amongst members of the government and military. US State Dept. diplomat, Alberto Fernandez, boldly said what everyone else is already thinking, but did a complete 180' on using the terms 'arrogant' and 'stupidity' to describe America's handling of Iraq. Because that's what politicians are paid to do.

Fernandez told CNN he was replying to a question about how people will assess the United States in the future, and he said he thought that was how the country would be judged.

He was defending U.S. policy in a region where everyone dislikes the United States, he said, and was doing so in an aggressive way that was faithful to U.S. policy, and trying to put it in the best light. Fernandez said he was "not dissing U.S. policy."

  History painfully repeating itself Everyone knows Iraq is the same disaster 'Nam was. Everyone except the US Government and redneck America. It probably won't tell you something you don't already know, but CNN's Joshua Levs has kindly spelt it out for the layman President of the United States:

Early in the Iraq conflict, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld dismissed insurgents as "dead-enders." In 2004, President Bush said the battle against these fighters was "turning a corner." In 2005, he described a "turning point," and Vice President Dick Cheney said the insurgency was in its "last throes."

Except it's really the 'coalition of the willing' that are in a dead-end, cornered, and one British general not too long ago certainly seemed in his last throes over the war. The unfortunate truth is the men and women who fight for their country aren't really fighting for their values, but to help a bunch of American politicians pursue an imperialist agenda. And that's even worse if you're British.  ¶ posted by Jon at 10/18/2006 0 comments

  The United States of Outer Space According to the revised Space Policy by the US Government:

The United States will preserve its rights, capabilities, and freedom of action in space... and deny, if necessary, adversaries the use of space capabilities hostile to US national interests..

The policy also openly states the use of spy satellites (no big surprises here) in the interest of national security. To be honest, a "space policy" doesn't have to mean shit to anyone. If China decided to fly some of their own spy satellites up there to have a peek at America, what ya gonna do? Send them a letter telling them how angry you are?

Yea, I didn't think so.  ¶ posted by Jon at 10/18/2006 0 comments

  Kim Jung Il: Behind the Blow Where else, but at Pinkdome...

It's widely known that Johnny Cash ripped off the whole "man in black" thing from the Jonger, but Cash also unsuccessfully tried to copy Kim's stylish hairdo. Unconfirmed reports have recently surfaced stating that Kim now flies Bravo's Jonathan Antin out there on a weekly basis to primp his coiffure, although The Fearless Leader is apparently in the market for a new stylist because - and I quote - "Jonathan's a whiny bitch."
