your democracy gets no cornerstone.

The democracy we are nominally bringing to Iraq does not, apparently, include a free and independent press. Military psych-ops personnel are writing propaganda articles that purport to be from actual reporters for publication in Iraqi media sources.

OH NOES SCISSORS!!!1!~

The good news is: the TSA is poised to allow us our fingernail scissors and tailors' snips on planes again, starting Dec. 22.

The bad news is: some Congressional shitheads are threatening legislation to ban all pointy things forever.

MA people: bitch out Rep. Markey, preferably with a 2x4, as he seems to be the asshat in chief.
NY people: bitch out Rep. Crowley.
TX people, if we have any: bitch out Sen. Hutchison.
