I heard on Olbermann the other day that now that he's stepped down he might be tried for war crimes. By the Germans. O, irony!

Fyi -- an angel has been photographed in the Southern United States.
The Discovery Institute is undoubtedly sending investigators to check it out.

"It's got a head, wings, legs, and if that doesn't look like an angel, I don't know what does," says Frederick, her son.
He does have a point there, you know. Come on, where is everyone's sense of wonderment and joy.

Heh. I first saw it over at the Ivory Bill Skeptic site

The only people more gullible and naive than creationists are the goofballs who continue to pretend that the ivory billed woodpecker is alive. As is the case with "intelligent design," the only reason the myth survives is because of a few "professional scientists" who insist on peddling it for either egotistical reasons or because the goal (in this case, saving the environment) justifies the means, where the means includes the usual distortion of facts and/or outright lying.

One time, when I had been laying in the snow, I got up and there, where I'd been laying, was an angel of the lord complete with head, wings, a full-skirted robe, and, even, a bright yellow halo- though the helpful policeman said that was just where I'd peed earlier.

GWW,
I have only one thing to say:
Holy shit!
(Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week. Try the calimari.)

What's with the pixelations over Rummy's hands during the final few seconds? What's he got that's supposed to be funny?

The Fark thread also contains a pretty good case that the moth pic was inverted in Photoshop; sounds like this is an actual hoax by the Austins.

You're kidding, right? Just on the off-chance that you're not, Rumsfeld was giving his supporters a special salute.
