Tons of flax!

From The Onion:

Arab Protection Of U.S. Ports

Many are voicing concern over Bush’s recent approval of a deal allowing a company based in the United Arab Emirates, who had ties to the Sept. 11 hijackers, to monitor security of select U.S. ports. What do you think?

"Great. We'll be the laughingstock of the Muslim world once they get word of how many tons of flax we import each year."

NYT on Colbert

The New York Times on The Colbert Report:

Self-deprecation is often in short supply in Washington. But Mr. Colbert, playing the deadpan reporter in his "Better Know a District" segments, is injecting a new levity into politics. Tongue firmly in cheek, he is on a quest to interview — or lampoon — all 434 members of the House. (The man who held the 435th seat, the disgraced California Republican Randy Cunningham, "is dead to me," Mr. Colbert declared.)

So Mr. Colbert is creating a litany of fools on the Hill. He drew Jack Kingston, a Georgia Republican and seemingly boring white guy who once lived in Ethiopia, into a discussion of his "African-American experience." He tweaked Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York, for proposing $300 million to stop school bullying: "Was that bill your idea, or did somebody bigger put you up to it?" He asked the Massachusetts Democrat Barney Frank, who is gay, about his wife. Mr. Frank was not amused. "Two Stooges short of a good routine," he complained.

CBS News on SWG; Smedley on crack

CBS News

"I'm bent about that one," Smedley admitted in a phone call. "As a person, I have zero problem with criticism. I don't have any problem whatsoever with our customers complaining. I think it's perfectly legitimate, and I think it's perfectly legitimate for you guys to have a mailbag with hate mail from Star Wars Galaxies. But of all the mail, that's the one that bothered me because it's filled with a bunch of BS."

"There has never been a release by Sony Online Entertainment that has been incomplete," Smedley said.

Why I recommend "Casablanca"

Casablanca

by Michael Curtiz

Best movie ever, as far as I’m concerned. Sharp, witty dialogue, intense situations, colorful characteres and an inspiring transformation for Bogart’s character. Add in the amazing musical treatments of “La Marseillaise” and “As Time Goes By” and you can’t miss with Casablanca.
