More BushCo Nazi linkage

Not what you're thinking this time.

Lisa at All Hat No Cattle has this Barry Crimmins quote about Operation Iron Hammer:

Nazis originally coined the term "Operation Iron Hammer." It was used in a campaign meant to smash the USSR. So the Pentagon has chosen not just a stupid name but a fascist, losing, stupid name. So maybe it is appropriate. (According to MSNBC's website: ''Eisenhammer,'' the German for ''iron hammer,'' was a Luftwaffe code name for a plan to destroy Soviet [power] generating plants in the Moscow and Gorky areas in 1943.")

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.


She also has this Jay Leno quote:

President Bush signed what's being billed as the Healthy Forest Restoration Act. This is part of what he calls his clear skies legislation. Do you know why they call it that? Once you cut down all of the trees you have a clear view of the sky.
