Dick looks for creative ways to start a new war.

EXCLUSIVE: To Provoke War, Cheney Considered Proposal To Dress Up Navy Seals As Iranians And Shoot At Them»

Speaking at the Campus Progress journalism conference earlier this month, Seymour Hersh — a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist for The New Yorker — revealed that Bush administration officials held a meeting recently in the Vice President’s office to discuss ways to provoke a war with Iran.

In Hersh’s most recent article, he reports that this meeting occurred in the wake of the overblown incident in the Strait of Hormuz, when a U.S. carrier almost shot at a few small Iranian speedboats. The “meeting took place in the Vice-President’s office. ‘The subject was how to create a casus belli between Tehran and Washington,’” according to one of Hersh’s sources.

Is McCain presidential material?

Roman Elvis



Could the Romans have predicted the king of rock-n-roll?

It certainly seems possible given that a Roman statue of Elvis has been found that dates back 1800 years before his birth.

How can this be? Were the Romans visited by an alien race of Elvis' (Elvi?) that later descended upon Tupelo, Mississipi and left one singing remnant of their visit? It's the only explanation that works.

How else could you possibly explain peanut butter and banana sandwiches?
