Umm….
Get it while it’s still funny….
Cheney’s Buckshot Reader, courtesy of AlterNet. This is just a summary of a lot of points to consider regarding HuntingGate 2006. nicodemia, thanks for validating Echanos’ human-hunting theory…. although, he still contends they were orphans, not CIA agents.
Condi wants $75 million to increase pressure on Iran, no questions asked. Word has it, she’s planning on getting an armored Humvee, full-body armor, an absurd stockpile of guns, and she’s heading over there all by herself. In the intelligence community, Condi is known for her ruthless interrogation skills, her absolute indifference to human life, and for her unparalleled stealth during covert operations. I give all of Iran one week before they’re begging for mercy.
The FDA has reopened a 15-year-old investigation on benzene content in soda. Apparently, nothing had been done in that time span to prevent this poisonous chemical from being present in our beverages. Fantastic.
This is pretty strange, and could be a hoax… but a man who killed his wife and stepchild, and then hung himself, left behind a note in some sort of cryptic code. This website is asking for help in deciphering the code.
Semi-fun game where you steer an ever-growing snowball down a hill.
A Russian lumberjack killed a wolf with a chainsaw! The hungry dog was following him, and when it attacked, he sawed its spine. Pretty hardcore.

Calling all cars…
I don’t know how many of my friends in far off places read this blog, but we at Miranda’s Moon have decided to round up as many people as possible for the final Moon event. Specifically, former members of the band. Humes, Boghoggler, and NDP… we want YOU to attend the last Moon show.
Half of America: keep up the spying, GW, we love it. That’s right, almost half of US citizens approve of the illegal NSA wiretaps, and as a result, it’s likely that the program will continue. Even members of Congress are too busy waxing their SUVs to give a shit. Pathetic.
An Italian government official plans to wear t-shirts featuring the infamous Muhammad cartoons. He says “it’s time to put an end to this tale that we need dialogue with these people.” I’m not sure I follow your tactic, sir. I suppose the cartoons were only meant to represent the extremist contingency, but it has obviously offended many more people than that. In Pakistan, 3 people died in the chaos of cartoon-induced rioting. In a lot of religious scenarios, the major religious denominations would be considered hypocritical if they were to express a lack of understanding for the religion being denigrated. However, I can’t imagine a single image that slandered Christianity would cause such an uproar. In other words, I find Islam’s reaction to these cartoons to be puzzling and unnecessarily militant.
The man who was shot by Dick Cheney suffered a mild heart attack, and was moved back into intensive care. The birdshot lodged in his heart is disrupting bloodflow, but also noteworthy is the estimate of pellets inside his body given by a doctor: “more than 5 but probably less than 150 to 200 pellets.” Probably less? I would have been shocked if estimated between 30 and 50, but just throwing in that high-end figure seems to indicate the man is FULL of pellets. That’s what you get for going hunting with a dick. (That’s mean.. I hope the guy lives, and I hope Cheney goes to jail. Better?)
Speaking of sending ol’ Cheney to jail, about 60 new photos from Abu Ghraib have been released to the Sydney Morning Herald. These are probably some of the photos that the US Government wished to censor with the hope of preventing further international outrage and Iraqi turmoil. Well guys, now they’re out. And they certainly are disturbing and offensive. You can probably consider everyone’s outrage refreshed.
Ever wonder what the first few nanoseconds of a nuclear explosion would look like? Me either. But here’s some photos of exactly that, and boy are they kickass.

I spent last evening chillin’ at the Sachsenheim, drinking Dab and Warsteiner, and eating some of the best fried food man has ever tasted. Last Thursday, Takeaway and I got a tour of the basement, and Greg posted some of the pictures he took down there. A very interesting place, indeed.
The Sachsenheim, located at Denison and Ridge, will play host to the last Miranda’s Moon show, on St. Patrick’s Day! You absolutely cannot miss this show! Tell everyone you’ve ever met in your entire life about it. There will be a kitchen open, a bar serving the finest German beers, and most importantly, Miranda’s Moon on a rather large stage, playing for a very long time. More surprises and ideas are being added by the day.
The US and Israel are planning to destabalize the new Hamas-led Palestinian government. So, we’re all for spreading democracy… as long as it’s our kind of democracy, and as long as its in total accordance with our global alliances, and doesn’t interfere with our financial interests, and…
Saddam is on a hunger strike until he gets a new judge appointed to his trial. I’m sure he can go a few weeks before he looks emaciated. In the meantime, let’s all flash back to those glory days when Temple of the Dog released their hit single: Hunger Strike. Alright, enough flashing back. Get back to work.
Al Gore’s global warming movie idea is being backed by Paramount. Hm.
Check out this amazing touch screen interface!
Police officers in El Cajon, California uncovered a 2-bedroom “apartment” in a dammed-off section of a large storm drain. Damn, what’s a guy gotta do to avoid paying rent these days?
A Florida woman arrived by plane from Haiti carrying a human head she says is used in Voodoo practices. Sorry hun, you’re going to have to declare that.
A 7th grade student found that the toilet water in fast food restaurants has less bacteria than what’s found in the ice of its soft drinks! Wow.

‘Twas a pretty interesting weekend. Friday night I found myself putting a homemade pizza in the oven at almost exactly midnight. This was after contemplating dinner for around 5 hours, and drinking to make up for the lack of food. Saturday morning I had two sightings that nearly cancelled one another out. First, I saw the great Dennis Kucinich at the West Side Market, buying bread right next to me! I said hi and he replied with a smile. Then, not 5 minutes later, I ran into the dreaded, the notorious, Andrea Lasko. I winced as I saw her, and made a hasty escape. Ugh.
Our Vice President shot somebody? Nice goin’, Dick. Thinking his buddy was a bird, Cheney sprayed him pretty good, and bought him a nice stay in the hospital. Frankly, anyone dumb enough to go on a hunting trip with a sneering, greedy bastard such as Cheney should’ve expected no less.
A report on the government’s response to Katrina, issued by Republicans, criticizes the actions taken by everyone from Bush to Mayor Nagin. It claims “the crisis was not only predictable, it was predicted.”
New York got BURIED in snow - over 2 feet of it! That’s some serious snowfall!
A letter to the American left - by some French-speaking guy who’s obviously ashamed. A little pretentious, but there may be a couple decent arguments in there.
Baghdad Burning has been updated.
“Real women” models may actually be harmful to women’s self-image. Although many companies have opted to use women of a more average weight in their advertisements, the desired effect of helping a woman’s self-esteem may not be occuring. I find this pretty interesting, considering all I’ve ever heard from women about models is “no normal person is that skinny,” and other similar complaints.
A record player that uses lasers instead of a needle. My idea of having a record player in your car’s dashboard may not be far behind!!!!
Little people, big food. This is strange but kinda fun to look at.
A rather large collection of desktop wallpapers. The link goes to page 73, and the themes change from page to page.

I’ve got shit to do, as has been the case quite often lately, so here we go.
Bush is planning to give further details about a foiled al Qaeda plot to repeat 9/11 in Los Angeles, back in 2002. Some news of this was released a few months ago, so this may or may not be pertinent info. The main reason I’m positing this article is because the New York Times chose to refer to al Qaeda as simply ‘Qaeda’, which I find hilarious. It’s the equivalent of P-Diddy going to just, Diddy.. and is just as chic, if not more.
Jack Abramoff says that he and GW have met “almost a dozen times”, despite Bush’s recent comments that he’s never met the man. What did I say? Did I not call this? I called it. Totally called it. Ha. Called it. Now what?
Temperatures around the earth are higher than at any point in the past 1200 years. I’m sure you folks in the Bay Area can confirm this right now, but it’s fucking freezing up here.
After several companies tried to profit from the Chuck Norris facts list, he decided to step in and offer t-shirts of his own. Now you can get a wide array of clothing with your favorite “fact” right on it. I recommend the Delta Force graphic with “Chuck Norris doesn’t sleep, he waits” on it.
Man, check out this sweet car!
Amazon.com has a $110 knife set on sale for $29.99. Not bad. Oh yeah, plus it qualifies for free shipping!
