    Ah, but will one have a shocking experience there?

    Edit:
    Forget the flip comment. Inside those Green Zone walls, splendor compared to the circumstances of Iraqis outside the walls. Nothing funny about that.

    Okayyyyy, that is why we can't leave in Iraq. Five Star hotel planned. Its starting to make sense now.

    How hysterical. Larry King has Glenn Beck and Ben Stein on tonight to bash Obama while trying to claim the "liberal media" is unfairly in love with Obama. Who the hell does Glenn Beck think he is? An outsider? Glenn Beck, big media news reader, trashes Obama tonight with the tired claim the liberal media loves and fawns all over Obama. He basically proves the media trashes Obama as much as they report positively about him. Glenn Beck proves there is NO SUCH THING as an unbiased or liberal leaning media. Larry King should be ashamed of putting such a Republican hack on to conduct any kind of interview that is supposed to be politically neutral.

    OT:

    Michelle Obama will be blogging at blogher.com. Likely her posts won't be frequent, but it's also a good site for your bookmarks. Her first post is here.

    Another OT:

    Other than the post raatz did at Kos back in Feb, I haven't read much about Barack's sister (his half-sister), Dr. Maya Soetoro-Ng. In May WaPo did this article about her. There is this video of her urging Hawaii voters.

    Good genes in that family.

    Apologies, Chris, for hijacking your post thread for one more OT.

    For others, like me, who may have missed this very important story.

    From Jezebel:

    "...a leaked Department Of Health and Human Services memo describes a plan to cut off federal funds to states, hospitals and clinics that discriminate against employees who refuse to offer birth control or abortions on religious or moral grounds. As if that weren't bad enough, the proposal redefines all birth control as abortion.
    According to Reuters, in the memo, the HHS draft "proposes to define abortion as 'any of the various procedures — including the prescription and administration of any drug or the performance of any procedure or any other action — that results in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth, whether before or after implantation."

    Between now and January '09 this goddamn administration will pull out all the stops.

    So little time, so much fascism to spread yet.

    Tragedy is that abortion was illegal in 1946, probably one of the strongest arguments for abortion.

    Is this the same Summit Global [Logistics] in which Gen. Wesley Clark was involved, and which filed for bankruptcy in Feb of this year?

    More importantly, will these Iraqi peasants be able to book a room?

    You'll get a great view of the Fireworks when Israel and its dumb bitch, America, try and attack Iran. You'll feel as though the fireworks are happening right in your room too, as indeed they will be.
