Wrap-Up

I want to post about some things, but I'm just not in the mood. So, quick wraps:

I thought NPR said Dan Rather was suing CBS for $17 million. Turns out it's $70 million. Over the Bush Air National Guard fiasco.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asked for permission to lay a wreath at the WTC. Like that was every going to be granted. the U.S. ambassador said he wouldn't be allowed to use the site for a photo op. Only Bush and Giuliani are permitted to do that.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is suing the Pentagon on behalf of an atheist soldier in Iraq who says he was pressured to embrace Christianity and then retaliated against when he refused. MRFF plans to file a "galaxy" of lawsuits to force the U.S. military to respect the separation of church and state. (By the way, the founder of MRFF is an Air Force veteran and a former White House lawyer under Reagan.)

Speaking of soldiers....keep on keeping on, boys. You'll be getting no rest.

And, finally, I'm looking forward to Paul Krugman's new blog. He promises to focus on what I think is the major ill in our society: the enormous inequality of classes. We're determined to be a banana republic.
