Yahoo! News – Fla. County Says Absentee Ballots Missing

This is a website full of photos of Oolong, a rabbit who appears to enjoy having objects rest on his/her head.

Sadly, Oolong is no longer with us. Still this site makes a good argument for the reason the internet was invented. The link below looks like jibberish, but it works; you’ll be taken to a page with Oolong sporting what appear to be pancakes on his/her head.

Read this: “Hersh summarizes his mission as ‘to hold the people in public office to the highest possible standard of decency and of honesty… to tolerate anything less, even in the name of national security, is wrong.’ He tries his best. More than any other U.S. journalist alive today, he embodies the statement that ‘a patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government,’ a belief defined by the conservationist Edward Abbey.”

Or this, “My government has a secret unit that since December of 2001 has been disappearing people just like the Brazilians and the Argentineans did. Rumsfeld decided after 9/11 that he could not wait. The president signed a secret document…There’s a team of people, they fly in unmarked planes, they fly in Gulfstreams, they have their own choppers, they don’t carry American passports, and they just grab people. And maybe in the beginning I can understand there was some rationale. Right after 9/11 we were frightened, we didn’t know what to do …”

Okay,

This is easy:
Click on “login” on the righthand side of your screen.
You’ll get an editing box where you can write your message. Click on a category to the right (Academic, Politics, etc.)
Click publish, and you’re in like Flynn.

To make sharing links MUCH easier, under the editing box (mentioned above) read about “Word Press Bookmarklet”. Drag the link to your browser bookmarks, and when you’re on a page you want to share, click it, and a mini blogging window will open, allowing you to post to the blog in seconds. (If this is confusing, I can show you when I see you–it makes life easy, trust me.)

Apparently “volunteer” soldiers refusing orders is a new thing… a sign of how our soldiers feel about this war.
