Your Publicist Might Have A Point, Dear
The New York Post:
April 30, 2005— “HANOI” Jane Fonda has at least one admirer of her Vietnam War-era antics. Rosie O’Donnell ranted to Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera in a taped interview that will air tonight: “All I know is that when I was a kid and the Vietnam War was on and Jane Fonda was the only person standing up and saying what every kid that was 9 years old like I was knew war is wrong and we shouldn’t go over and kill people . . . You know [President Bush] invaded a sovereign nation [Iraq] in defiance of the U.N. He is basically a war criminal! He should be tried in the Hague! . . . My publicist says I should stop talking about politics.”
We take time from our regularly scheduled broadcasting to shove O’Donnell’s snout in this:
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN)—Forensic experts are investigating a mass grave thought to contain the remains of as many as 1,500 Kurds killed in the 1980s.The grave, with 18 trenches, is in Samawa, 230 miles (370 kilometers) southeast of Baghdad, along the Euphrates River. Most of Iraq’s Kurds live in the north of the country.
“We know they’re Kurdish victims because of the clothing and artifacts that were found with the bodies,” said Gregg Nivala, an attorney with the Department of Justice’s Regime Crimes Liaison Office.

Investigators working at the grave since early April have recovered the remains of 113 people. With the exception of five, all are women and children.
Pig.

“Jane Fonda has at least one admirer of her Vietnam War-era antics.”
If she has others, I doubt very many of them are Vietnamese immigrants.
Speaking of Commies, I celebrated May Day by enriching that eeeevil capitalist exploiter Wal-Mart. (Just groceries – no “Made in China” stickers on anything.) Doubly appropriate, since May Day was originally (and still is) a labor movement holiday, and Wal-Mart is non-union. (The idea of union grocers/department stores is as alien to me as nanotechnology is alien to the Amish.)
Heh. They’ve been trying to unionize Wal-Mart in Canada. Check out this for one success story.
The Rosie post is too much to ignore. I hate that cow.
Good to see you on the Bomfire..
