Snarky Headline About the War: Iraqi government says Blackwater shooting was unjustified. Bush dodges the issue. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Robert Gates says he doesn’t know if Iraq was worth it. Oh, and now there’s cholera in Baghdad.
It’s the Thought That Counts: Dems try, fail to cut off war funds.
Poor Kids Don’t Need Healthcare: Bush threatens veto for children’s health insurance program. Plans to kick more puppies.
Circling the Drain: Our economy.
The Jena 6: Protest draws thousands in Louisiana.
Full of Lead: 50,000 lunch boxes handed out by California Dept. of Health.
Fuck, Yeah: New York rejects abstinence-only sex ed funds.
Sisleyville is Burning: more fires in Roosevelt.
UPDATE
Lockdown: 2 students shot at Delaware State University.
And now, your final O.J. clip of the week:
You missed the shooting at a college in Deleware early this morning:

I run by those places on Roosevelt nearly daily (when I am not running Burke Gillman dodging out of control bikers) and those places mentioned are NASTY.
What kills me is that people have to live in such conditions while our Mayor decides not to build nearly enough affordable housing. Coupled with the fact many of these tenants who live in those places are single males and pretty much go to the bottom of the list of any housing projects.
Want to blame someone for the fires? Yeah, the slum-lord is part of it but so is the City of Seattle and a lack of leadership on the part of the Mayor.
That clip is enough to make your blood vessels explode.
the link for the lunch box LA Times prompted me for a log-in so no read, but i delved into reverie. being a brownbag kid not by choice, the 4th grade lunchroom was always a great art exhibition for me back in '79 - i loved the other kids' partridge family, star wars, charlie daniels band etc tin food holders.
hey, Jonah, lunch boxes can be a theme for our Food Bank vid. i'll stop over this morning to find their hours of giveaway cheese/apple whatever.
talk to ya soon,

oh, we can also go to Grocery Outlet first, and get some bulk Cinnamon to spice up / give to their hungry lives.
today is a must history lesson: http://www.tullycraftnation.com/
To clarify, am I supposed to be all up in arms about Sisleyville? All reports indicate Sisley is a seedy character, but damn, he actually owns buildings poor people can afford. They're not pleasant to look at (and could be dangerous) but...poor people can afford them. So, what's the consensus? Do we hate Sisley or laud him for providing low-income housing when he certainly isn't required to do so.
@6- Arms need not be up.
In far more important news, there's been a confirmed, videotaped sighting of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

Suck it, Jesus, His Noodleness is bliss.
Praise Him!!!
To my knowledge anyway, the expansion of SCHIP is meant to help middle class kids. They and their families deserve/need help, but they're not poor.
