True to form, using the wrong tool for the job.

Cyborg Polar Bears riding dinosaurs shooting laser beams.

Confederate Yankee already has a video up describing how it will be done, with several star wars Ton-Ton action figures in a sandbox and some old cobra commander models representing the insurgents.

Good times.

That’s just ’cause they haven’t been using the right KIND of squid.

In fighting an insurgency, it can indeed be a valid strategy to use local militias to help you fight the insurgency, but only if their interests are aligned with the central government you are attempting to establish as valid. Needless to say, the Sunni militias are not aligned with the Shiite-dominated central government in Baghdad.

Equally bad is the idea of arming the Iraqi “army,” which is infiltrated by insurgents and is actively supporting the insurgency with the very weapons we are arming them with.

There are no choices but bad ones in Iraq. Americans often have a hard time wrapping their brains around the concept that some action they take could well lead to such a dead end, but of course they can. We have horribly screwed up the Middle East in one of the great blunders of all time. So the right-wing, with its power fantasies, has made the world a much more dangerous place for our children to inherit. The march of folly rolled on ….

A predictably stupid rightwing excuse for an argument. Were this hooter of a conspiracy theory right, why would the left (or should I say, the non-radical-right) have protested the war and condemned it so fiercely before it started?

I guess when you’re wrong, and it’s obvious to anyone with a pulse, there’s always ginning up an argument that the people who were against your stupid action made it fail by being against it. The cartoonist “Tom Tomorrow” satirizes this beautifully in his comic, “This Modern World.”

We could arm the Sunni’s with bananas, and the Shiites, with 16 tonne weights.

The Kurds get the tigers.

But my traveling companion has better teeth, and is, therefore, less combat hardened. A wuss, in fact.

M Bouffant, my child has an interesting genetic dental condition, so we have a Beverly Hills dentist – one who uses the word “cosmetic” in front of the word “dentist.” It is a sure sign of a good dentist, here.

The alternatue “sure thing” in dentistry is someone whose office is located in Westwood. You can’t shake a stick in Westwood without hitting some medical professional with a UCLA degree.

I always say, it’s nice that we live in the cosmetic dentistry capital of the Entire World.

But – tomorrow we travel to NYC. Tonight, my traveling companion bit down on a piece of beef jerky and broke a tooth. I have 2 percosets leftover from my embarassing surgery last spring. We’re bringing those along.

At least the dog’s teeth are fine.
