People like Bush have been fanning distrust of government spending and complaining about welfare queens for years, but now those chickens are coming home to roost. Iraq looks like one big welfare queen from Peoria, and Bush looks like her no-good absentee husband. -- Juan Cole
And for pete's sake, people. Taking the TFI (total freakin' idiot) award from the idiots at West Virginia University [scroll down to the end of that post]...
The odd rotating presidency of the Interim Governing Council, whereby 9 of the 25 members take turns for one month each as leaders of the country, has now fallen on Jalal Talabani, 69. The leader of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan is popular in eastern Iraqi Kurdistan, starting in Sulaimaniya, and controls about 25,000 paramilitary fighters (peshmerga).
Indeed, the celebratory gunfire in Kirkuk was so extensive that 5 people are said to have been killed by it.
Like I said - if people weren't suffering and dying, this could be primo entertainment if you like jack-ass contests.
I don't know. Was the world always this nuts?
