This is for the thread: Todays Washington Post - a review of its fanatical right wing DoD led conspiracy: Cohen - Article on Torture - he is against it Samuelson - Telecom Hoagland - Failed Diplomacy - Renewed Clarity (Tukey/Kurd issues) McGory - To my very persuasive readers (had trouble downloading - but she could be a fascist :-) Editorials - Korea/Soldiers&Tax/Environmental issues in MD legislature On the korean issue the Post wants (just like the UNSC) the US to take unilateral action and engage in bilateral talks. No partners, no SC resolutions - one on one. Talk it out. Damn - those horrible fascists at the Post. John

Picketing Hootie at a Hooters? nytimes.com [ There are fanatics, and then there are people who have a side obsession with the way the NYT covers golf. For the latter group, there's this story. I will have to leave it to the "objective" peer review process of the warblogosphere to decide if this counts as #44 or not. Maybe there's a mystical connection between "The Gulf" and "golf" that I don't quite understand. Clip: ] GREETINGS FROM HOOTERS! Hello, Martha Burk: Aside from the nearly imperceptible difference in suffix, this is also as geographically close to Hootie Johnson as you are going to find. Hooters is just two red lights from the gate, and a block past the Sassy Lady boutique (an alternate protest site, perhaps). Also, as a bonus, you could free the Hooters waitresses from subjugation, or at least from their constricting T-shirts. (Breathing is fundamental.) This joint certainly beats the ball field you've been eyeing over the railroad tracks on Eisenhower Drive. Dead-end street, dead-end message. If you want to be heard by the corporate Green Jackets who preach inclusion for millions of their employees but live exclusion, you should cozy up to the Hooters management. Remember: tip big. Yours truly, The Scout
