Hi Lisa,

Did the Billboard in Downtown Baghdad Photo get taken off of the Yahoo
site?
I can't seem to get to it. Sometimes the link goes to a different
picture, & sometimes it says the page isn't found. Please repost the link, I'd
like to see the photo. On the plus side, I certainly have found a lot of
interesting articles while searching for it. :o) Keep up the good work, you
are a gem.

Best regards,
Leslie

"The security of the world is threatened by Kim Jong-Il, a nerdy pompadour, platform shoe wearer who looks like something you would put on the end of your child's pencil." --Jon Stewart

"President Bush announced that the federal deficit is actually $296 billion less than originally forecast. It's less, yeah. The president credits low unemployment, high job growth, and the fact that he did the math himself." --Conan O'Brien

"Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was in Afghanistan today where he promised to defeat the Taliban. Didn't we do that already? He's also sworn we will soon capture Saddam Hussein." --Jimmy Kimmel

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld arrived on an unannounced visit to Iraq today and proclaimed: "Each time I come to Iraq I see progress."

Iraq is a nation disintegrating into homicidal chaos. It is a country whose leaders acknowledge is on the brink of all-out civil war. But, the President's Pentagon appointee, the man controlling the fate of 129,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq, stands up and flat out misleads the troops who don't get to go home to the U.S. at the end of the day, like Rumsfeld does.

Halliburton Stock Unshaken When It Loses Army Contract.

"The annual G8 summit of the wealthiest nations gets underway tomorrow. Officials say this year the hardest part will be keeping the leader of France from head butting the leader of Italy." --Conan O'Brien

"Japan says they're now considering whether attacking North Korea's missile sites would violate their Constitution. Imagine that. Government leaders worried about violating their Constitution. That's something you don't see anymore." --Jay Leno

Oh, you are a wicked girl. Those monkeys are adorable. But they do look like their namesakes!!

By the way, the San Francisco Chronicle has a wonderful cartoonist who has been on a year's sabbatical. He has now come back to the paper and is publishing his cartoons again. He is wonderful and he not only calls a spade a spade but sometimes a goddamm shovel!!. I hope you will watch for his cartoons and hopefully be able to use some of them. His name is Tom Myer.

What about old flabby lips Novak? What an SOB that guy is. Wouldn't it be fun to be able to corral Cheney, Novak, Coulter, Ms. Harris from Florida, Rove, and Tom De Lay together and watch what would happen? If I could vote in Texas I'd vote for Kinky Friedman!

Every week the world seems to get crazier. I'm about to dig an ostrich hole in the back yard to stick my head in.

Old flabby lips Novak! roflol

Now that Israel is bombing the Palestinians and Lebanon, Kim Jong-Il is dinging his Taepo Dong, Bush blowing up whatever he can,  I've had thoughts such as -- "Gee, a bomb shelter could also protect me from tornadoes, hurricanes, and wildfires too."

It began as a fraud investigation, turned into a political hot potato amid accusations of U.S. arrogance and now has taken a tragic turn with the discovery of a dead witness in a park.

The case of the "NatWest Three," a trio of bankers who face charges in the United States in an £11-million fraud related to the collapse of energy giant Enron, has galvanized and now shocked the British public.

"Today is a historic day. On this day in 1804 Vice President Aaron Burr shot Alexander Hamilton. A vice president shooting a guy? I mean, luckily something like that couldn't happen today." --David Letterman

"This week Geraldo Rivera went to Philadelphia to investigate what he says was a plot to kill him. So far, Geraldo has narrowed down the suspects to anyone who owns a television." --Conan O'Brien

In a breathtaking blaze of glory, Nature put on one of its most spectacular sky shows over the Washington-Idaho border June 8, 2006. Reds, oranges, blues and greens create a flaming rainbow that stretches above the clouds. It occurs when sunlight passes through ice crystals in high cirrus clouds.
It is one of 15 types of ice halos formed only when the most specific of factors dovetail precisely together. This blanket of fire, covering hundreds of square miles, is the rarest phenomenon of them all. Photo sent in by Paul/AHNC viewer
