how crazy can you be to drive a car loaded with hydrogen on the highway?

How about driving a car loaded with gasoline? Or battery acid? Or use a flammable fluid to power the brakes or steering?

Oh wait, we already do...

Today in front of the U.S. embassy in Tokyo there are people imploring the U.S. to save the victims in Burma. It's heart breaking.

Of course, who else would they turn to?

But since the U.S. (as I'm constantly reminded) has a massive deficit (thanks largely to spending…

Condemning is not really helping much. Much better: allow US a transport lane and US willdrop relief supplies as deemed necessary. It's not really that hard to help, but you need to choose your words wisely or better to say nothing at all.

You had all the self-exiled Iraqis. You had Americans in charge till after they had their elections. Self-exiled Iraqis and Americans. That's where it went.

Hey, if you've got definitive proof of that, you better turn it over and aid the investigation.

Real good. But it's not the tribal leaders who controlled the cash. It's the Americans and the Iraqi government who controlled the cash. They are the ones who distributed it or stole it from the safe.

And without the Baathists, what was the Iraqi government comprised of? Tribal…

Please, you know that the US got rid of everybody who was in the old regime. None of the Baathist were kept in office. The bush administration made sure that none of them were left in office.

Took the kids to see the movie this past weekend (their insistence). It wasn't as bad as I expected, and it was true to the spirit of the original cartoon.
