Ahmadinejad vs. Bush would be like a surreal debate club Special Olympics.

Ahmadinejad would say the holocaust never happened, and Bush would get his blinking twitch and stare into the camera. I'll bet Ahmadinejad knows the English pronunciation for "nuclear".

Ahmadinejad would win, no question.

Fun Rossi fact:

Rossi no longer lives in Italy, to escape constant mobs of adoring fans, and, some say, Italian taxes. Italy's tax agency is investigating.

And how come The Stranger's so-called "news" doesn't mention that Rossi won on Sunday?

Since Madonna is an ambassador your vote wasn't necessary unless you're a member of the Judaic Senate.

Re: Iraq Oil War

"In the book Mr Greenspan writes: "Whatever their publicised angst over Saddam Hussein's 'weapons of mass destruction', American and British authorities were also concerned about violence in the area that harbours a resource indispensable for the functioning of the world economy. I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil."

I can't believe the establishment media would publish the paranoid ravings of a treacherous, America-hating, pinko, communist, moonbat liberal like former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan. Sheesh!

This would be a lovely time to compile a list of pundits who mocked those who said it was a war for oil as bunch of paranoid moonbats.

Perhaps they would care to comment, and revise their previous estimates of either Mr. Greenspan or the moonbats.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil.

So, he's not saddened that we went to war over oil, he's just saddened that the American people are so unreasonable as to dislike wars that have no other motivation than economics.
