Good Morning, here's your dose of paranoia inducing news.

A body believed to be that of the man who was reputed to be the major source for a BBC report accusing the Blair government of "sexing-up" the Iraqi weapons dossier has been found near his house after he was reported missing last night.

I really ought to stop listening to latino USA it raises my blood preassure and make me feel like a right wing anti-immigrant prick.

So I was listening this afternoon and they were talking about the problems latinos in the Northern climes such as Oregon, Washington, and Nebraska were facing. One woman complained about government agencies like electric and water departments acting like federal immigration authorities and asking for social security numbers. She was incensed at these agencies treating people like criminals just because they were there illeagally.

The presumptiousness of some parts of the Latino culture just leaves me aghast. I don't like the idea of a guest worker, I think if you go to another country and work there you should be willing to enculture yourself into that new society, be willing to accept the responsabilities and duties attendant with citizenship.

Friggin republicans, they're a bunch of cowardly short dicked incestous hoptoads with pretentions of adequacy.

So there was a disagreement in the house ways and means committee meeting (the Repub chairman was forcing through a bill without giving the dems time to read it), they walked out to a library to read the damn thing so that a qourum couldn't be had and the bill passed.

They left one Democrat in the committee room to fight with the republicans, 79 year old Pete Stark from California. As he told the committee chair what a witless moron he was Scott McInnis (you gotta see his macho webpage) steps up in defense and tells him to be quiet. Stark then says (according to the republicans) 'Oh, you think you are big enough to make me, you little wimp? Come over here and make me. I dare you,'"
The room then broke out in laughter, at which point Stark raged, "You little fruitcake, you little fruitcake. I said you are a fruitcake."

Mcinnis felt this was such a frightening assault on his manhood by a guy three decades his senior he insisted that the capitol police be called. The chair then decided to use them to throw the dems out of the library.
