Tasteless Post of the Day
There's a reason it appears in The Onion, I guess.
Godspeed...That's unkind.

Speculation Day
Some fun headlines:
Is Laura Leaving Bush After he Leaves Office Because He's Been Hitting the Sauce Again?
Go and look if only for the pure fun of the pictures.
Specifically, this one:
What the hell are they doing?
Here's another fun headline, but for a different reason:
Kristol: Colin Powell to Endorse Barack Obama
I only laugh because Billy has been so consistently wrong over the past few years. Go ahead and google "bill kristol wrong" - there are almost 900,000 entries found.
Pure comedy.
It would be nice, though.

Random Iran Readings
All in the space of a couple of hours I learn that Israel isn't going to attack Iran:
The US did not give the green light for an Israeli attack on Iran, Prof. Anthony H. Cordesman, a former Pentagon official and currently the top defense analyst at the ABC TV network, said Monday.
I learned that Iran is ready to strike back, almost randomly but not, if it does get attacked:
Iran will hit Tel Aviv, U.S. shipping in the Gulf and American interests around the world if it is attacked over its disputed nuclear activities, an aide to Iran's Supreme Leader was quoted as saying on Tuesday.
"The first bullet fired by America at Iran will be followed by Iran burning down its vital interests around the globe," the students news agency ISNA quoted Ali Shirazi as saying in a speech to Revolutionary Guards.
Please keep in mind that Israeli bullets=American bullets for the purpose of this demonstration.
Then I learned that (at least) some people seem to prepare for the future:
A senior Iranian military official said on Sunday the Islamic republic is digging some 320,000 graves in its border provinces for future slain invaders, Iran's English-language satellite channel Press TV reported.
Iran's Armed Forces headquarters has approved the plan to dig graves for enemy forces in case of any attack on its territory, said Brigadier General Mir-Faisal Baqerzadeh, head of the Foundation for the Remembrance of the Holy Defense.
"We do not wish the families of enemy soldiers to experience what Americans had to go through in the aftermath of the Vietnam War," said Baqerzadeh, who is also head of Iran's search committee for missing soldiers.
This whole brinksmanship pissing contest is really starting to annoy me.

What Atrios Said
Because it's true:
As I've written before, Democrats will regret embracing the expansion of executive power because a President Obama will find his administration undone by an "abuse of power" scandal. All of those powers which were necessary to prevent the instant destruction of the country will instantly become impeachable offenses. If you can't imagine how such a pivot can take place then you haven't been paying attention.
Seriously.
