Republican Senator: General should step aside during probe



The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee called on Tuesday for the temporary reassignment of a Pentagon official who made church speeches casting the war on terrorism in religious terms.

When global warming hits big, here’s some locust recipes


You’re not sure if I’m making this up, are you?


Well, I’m not…



Cambodia: take several dozen locust adults, preferably females, slit the abdomen lengthwise and stuff a peanut inside. Then lightly grill the locusts in a wok or hot frying pan, adding a little oil and salt to taste. Be careful not to overcook or burn them.


I heartily concur. NEVER EVER overcook locusts. It makes them taste like chicken.

Michael Moore’s new book excerpt on Salon


Via Boing Boing



Michael Moore’s new book, Dude, Where’s My Country? is out, and Salon’s got an excerpt this morning.


What is the worst lie a president can tell?

“I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

Or …

“He has weapons of mass destruction — the world’s deadliest weapons — which pose a direct threat to the United States, our citizens and our friends and allies.”
