Three quick thoughts:

1) I'm glad the US is suspending military aid to countries which refuse to let US troops live above the law of the world. I think the US should go on and eliminate ALL military aid to ALL countries: that'll show 'em! (Seriously: military aid is nothing but gun-running made pretty, and there should be none of it at all. This is happening now because the Bushies want carte blanche, but sometimes the gift-horse's mouth is not so important)

2) The new Sinbad cartoon apparently has altered Sinbad's ethnicity. Coincidence? I think not.

3) On Friday I have to climb into the belly of the beast. I hope I can get back out again.
