Boldly extending the habeas statute to the four corners of the earth

Paul Krugman quotes Bremer’s aide in imposing free-market capitalism on Iraq talking about the need to educate Iraqi businessmen away from the paradigm of cronyism. That aide: Ari Fleischer’s brother. Cronyism bad, nepotism good?

Actually, Science news, tampering in God’s domain division: the first successful pregnancy after ovary transplants make menopause a thing of the past. Oh fine, and let cancer survivors give birth. Can’t they just fucking adopt?

Evidently, Governor Ahnuuld has not actually switched the capitol’s toilet paper, that was an inside joke between him and a reporter, dating back to the election, when the Gropinator evaded questions about what he was willing to cut until the reporter suggested the tp thing.

The pope apologizes for the sack of Constantinople in 1204 during the 4th Crusade.

OK, Daily Kos has bothered to do the research I didn’t yesterday on the media parroting the Bush line:

Washington Post: “Despite the end of the occupation …”

Knight Ridder: “Iraqis see hope in end of U.S.-led occupation”

Los Angeles Times: “…end of a deeply divisive American-led occupation…”

San Francisco Chronicle: “the U.S.-led military occupation had formally ended…”

Miami Herald: “…ended its occupation of Iraq…”

Associated Press: “…the end of the American occupation …”

Arizona Republic:: “…the 160,000 foreign troops in Iraq were transformed from occupiers into guests of a U.S.-backed government.”
