Wow, this is sure news. Our intelligence agencies are reporting that Iraq Prime Minister Maliki is, to quote the L.A. Times, "unable to govern his country effectively and the political situation is likely to become even more precarious in the next six to twelve months."
You think?
And George Bush's reaction is to compare Iraq to Vietnam, another country that was "unable to govern itself," at least until we had the wisdom to leave it.
The Times is also reporting that Southern California is in the midst of an earthquake "lull" that has lasted as much as 1000 years, and that when the lull ends we could experience quakes fifteen times larger than the Northridge earthquake of 1994. Gee, that's comforting. I guess it's time to again consider purchasing that beachfront property in Yuma.
A former Army Corps of Engineers employee has pled guilty to helping rig the bids to repair levees in New Orleans. There is no truth to the rumor the man is related to Dick Cheney.
The big story, of course, (as far as the mainstream media are concerned) is that Nicolle Richie only served 82 minutes of her four-day jail sentence for driving the wrong way on the Ventura Freeway. I'm guessing that won't do much to teach her not to be a talentless, treacherous menace to society.
