CIA Was Wrong The Senate Intelligence Committee found that the CIA's estimate of Iraq's WMD was, well, wrong. They didn't have any WMD, nor did they have the capabilities. As of yet, it's the CIA fault.

Didja know that our own Mr. Forksclovetofu (proprietor of The Tofu Hut) has been posting monkey-centric mp3s all week? I see that a discussion has already developed in this previous thread.

NAACP says slur was ok because child was white Actually in reviewing the video, it appears that Riordan was just being his typical unconscious self and said something that at best would be considered slightly insensitive. But what is interesting is that the NAACP was going to go on the attack until they found out the child was white. This strikes me as a bit disingenuous. When you call a black child a "stupid dirty girl" it can be considered racism, but if she is white then you can dismiss it "with to err is human and to forgive divine"? What if Al Sharpton said the same thing to a white girl? I don't think anyone would have considered it racism. Insensitive maybe...

Brando Was NOT Destitute Follow-up to this thread, it appears that owning a chain of Polynesian Islands, a $10 million estate and many rare paintings and scripts officially disqualifies one from being destitute. Mr. Brando is, however, still dead.

Coolest man in world undergoing heart surgery. Scotty stricken with debilitating disease. Brando dead, along with half the Beatles and a good chunk of the Ramones. Townsend defamed. Dylan in Victoria Secret advertisements. Lou Reed inaudible. Jagger more disgusting than ever. Bono lame beyond belief.
