I'd love to get a copy of this, but I ain't paying $30 and the title probably is too obscure to show up in the local library.

Bush's War: Media Bias and Justifications for War in a Terrorist Age

**********
I didn't know Kristin Chenoweth, who briefly played a press secretary on the West Wing, is the real life inspiration for the Christian comedian on Studio 60.  I think the ratings for that show have plummeted into the low 3's, so I don't know if it's going to make it much past the first season unfortunately.

She Sings! She Acts! She Prays!

Saw Superman Returns - OK flick, good special effects, love Kevin Spacey and thought Brandon Routh made a good superman.  The only thing I couldn't stand was there were a bunch of scenes where people get knocked around with enough force to kill them or knock them unconscious and they get up a few seconds later, shake their heads a little and get up without a scratch.  Lois Lane takes a huge metal door slamming shut right in the head.  I'll believe a man can fly before I believe anyone could survive a blow like that.  I'll give it 7 starsif only because it's important to know what's going on in the Superman saga and ya gotta love the John Williams theme music in surround sound turned all the way up. Da-da-da-da-da-Da-Da-Da. Da-da-da-da-da-DA-DA-DA!

Oops, another rocket just got away.  No one was injured in Israel, so it's still not a break in the "cease-fire".

People want President Bush impeached because some guards at Abu Ghraib had a little fun humiliating Iraqi prisoners a few years ago.  Meanwhile, this is what the people in Kofi Annan's charge do...all over the world....and it's been going on for years.  Has anyone on the Left called for his head?

Children have been subjected to rape and prostitution by United Nations peacekeepers in Haiti and Liberia, a BBC investigation has found.

Girls have told of regular encounters with soldiers where sex is demanded in return for food or money.

A senior official with the organisation has accepted the claims are credible.

The UN has faced several scandals involving its troops in recent years, including a DR Congo paedophile ring and prostitute trafficking in Kosovo.
