Ms. Reno, attorney general from 1993 through 2000, declined today to discuss her department's handling of the case. "It's a pending case," she said. "I can't comment on it."

OMG, she's still using that one eh? The truly amazing thing is NOBODY ever follows up when the "pending case" is finally over.

When she ran for gov. of FL you could feel the fear from the dims. They wanted to get rid of her so badly.

You've got to turn on Cspan and see the clowns (aka as dims). Check out McAwful's nose, what the heck is going on with that?!

This subject would be a perfect editorial. With your personal experience of that area you could write one kick ass piece!

the Pentagon casually let the public know that it intends to dispatch 1,700 Special Forces and Marines for a combat mission against Muslim guerrillas in a remote and hostile corner of the Philippines.

I'm at a loss here, how should the Pentagon announce such a thing?

Ballons? Fireworks? Skywriting?

I'm going to be sick.

007 OFFERS CLINTON ROLE

James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has apparently offered Bill Clinton a role in his next 007 film.

The Irish actor is said to have approached the former US President at a Hollywood event and asked him if he would like a cameo in the movie.

Clinton told Brosnan to arrange a meeting with his agent and see if a part and suitable pay cheque could be worked out, reports say.

A source told the Daily Star: "Pierce enjoys politics and Bill loves Hollywood.

"So this would be a great way for them to work together and teacher each other a tricks." [wonder what Mrs. Brosnan thinks of that?]

Filming for the next James Bond film is due to start next year. Link

Actually, I think Blubba should go into acting. He could play pimps, mob bosses, white trash - all without breaking a sweat. I think it's called "typecasting."

I love the LittleGreenFootballs weblog as a source of info on the Middle East. Its owner has written the following intro to a news story to which he provides a link.

The hypocritical chocolate poodles who rule Belgium [LOL!] gave themselves universal jurisdiction to try war crimes cases anywhere in the space-time continuum, from the Big Bang to the last gasp of a crab-like creature on a desolate beach at the death of the universe.

Of course this godlike power was immediately used to go after Israel, via Ariel Sharon, for the Sabra/Shatila massacres committed by Christian Phalangists under the command of Elie Hobeika in 1982.

Today the Jerusalem Post reports that in 1990, Belgium refused requests from the Simon Wiesenthal Center to investigate 14 suspected Nazi war criminals who had emigrated to Belgium after World War II, because of a statute of limitations.

Unfortunately, the Jerusalem Post requires registration to read its articles, so the link doesn't help unless you're registered. Here's a story about Belgium going after Ariel Sharon for war crimes, however.

Are you sure you've never been a casting director? If anyone ever does a movie about Sasquatch, I'm sure Ms. Reno is available. BTW, I hope Stewart kicks some Tiger butt today (they're in the same threesome).

Whew, this is a huge relief:

Former US President Bill Clinton, who has cancelled his visit to India in view of serious security considerations, will now address the India Today conclave on March one via live satellite. A press release from the conclave organisers on Saturday said Clinton would speak for about 90 minutes [ZZZZZZZZZZZ] at the gala dinner.

The conclave, being organised from February 28 to March two, will feature a galaxy of international and national leaders such as President A P J Abdul Kalam, Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, renowned futuroligist Alvin Toffler, Pakistan MP and former Cricket Captain Imran Khan, union ministers Arun Shourie and Arun Jaitley, Karnataka Chief Minister S M Krishna, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, and film personalities Shekhar Kapur and Aamir Khan. [Wow, they're right. What a bunch of stars.]

The theme for the conclave is "India Tomorrow: Global Giant or Pygmy?". It offers a rare opportunity to interact with some of the finest minds of the world who will map the future of this country. Around 250 people from India and abroad are expected to attend it. source

Bill knows all the movers and shakers.

It's colossal the amount of self importance these people have. But I suppose if I had a bunch of sycophants around me gushing like this my opinion of myself would be much larger.

How Shekhar Kapur demolished the "coconut syndrome"

The success of Shekhar Kapur's "Elizabeth" is not just about an Indian finally crossing over into mainstream western cinema. Decked in an elegant cream sherwani accompanied by wife Suchitra Krishnamurthy in saree splendour, the couple's presence at the 1999 Golden Globe awards was a moment in time.

Despite all the media frenzy over "Elizabeth", Kapur proudly tells the world that, in essence, he made a Bollywood interpretation of a very orthodox English subject. This obviously rattled a section of conservative critics but for "Elizabeth" co-producer Tim Bevan, who took the daring step of hiring Kapur for the job, the ensuing debate was exactly what his gamble was based on. And the box office confirmed it resoundingly. Oscar nominations and Golden Globe nods only proved that "Elizabeth" will also stand the test of time. More drivel

Wow.

Time to appreciate the UN again.

Rev. Nate Atwood explains why war with Iraq is just.

What does God think about war with Iraq? In a recent anti-war ad, Bishop Melvin G. Talbert intoned, "No nation under God has that right. It violates international law, it violates God's law and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Iraq hasn't wronged us." The choice of Bishop Talbert on the part of the "Win Without War" campaign was well calculated – he is the chief ecumenical officer of the United Methodist Church. George Bush is a Methodist. The intended point was pretty obvious, "Mr. President, get back in line. You're supposed to be a peacenik like the rest of us Methodists." [snip]

2. Proper cause

In a 1993 statement regarding just war, the U.S. Catholic Bishops stated that "force may be used only to correct a grave, public evil, i.e., aggression or massive violation of the basic rights of whole populations."

On this count, war against Iraq almost seems mandated. Indeed, if this is the criteria then the world community could be charged with immorality for having not gone to war. Quite apart from the threat of weapons of mass destruction in the hands of an aggressive dictator, there are the crimes against the Iraqi people who have been dipped in baths of acid, raped before family members, and have had their tongues cut out. The more I think about it, the more I am troubled. Have we abandoned fellow human beings to Saddam Hussein? In the eyes of God do we have the right to stand idly by in the name of peace while people are gassed and children torn from their mothers? Complete story

Just peeking in. Can't stay long. Dell is still in the Dog House. Not sure what steps to take to correct this disappointment.
