State of the art Afghan tank approaches Kabul.

World Not Screwed Up Enough? Now comes the ultimate germphobic wack-a-doodle combo one could ever dream up. Hysterical female pet lovers with a political agenda from hell asking for gas mask for pets. Notice this demand can't be met because there aren't any such masks and that they don't mention masks for babies first. What about cats and canaries. Hey, where's the gold fish lobby?
Brace yourselves. It's Nutzo Monday. (Hey, hey, my spider plant deserves to live!!!)
Little Things Mean A Lot: The food packages that we are dropping to starving Afghans that have been the cause of some liberal derision finally get some respect in the New York Times. Their reporter found an Afghan who thinks the peanut butter is delicious and even the Times find the enclosed moist towelette a "sweet" gesture. We think someone who hasn't had a shower since Ramadan 1996 would be thrilled.
Cynics Alert: Friday, New York Times reporter Judith Miller opens an envelope with some white powder in it.
(It turns out NOT to be the dreaded National Enquirer Anthrax.) Sunday's New York Times Book Review featured her book Germs in its lead review. Monday she appears on the Today Show mentions her book and says she doesn't think her dust delivery is connected to 9-11. You don't suppose her press agent......Nah, she wouldn't do that....... In the meantime a tentative little link to an American Media employee shows up in Florida. Here's the Washington Post's report.
Not Knowing Is The Pits: Looks like we are going to spend the better part of this week waiting to hear where the anthrax "bugs" come from. USA Today has a pretty good roundup this morning of what's gone on but we still don't know the story. If those dusty envelopes are the work of a lone sicko, exile to an Afghanistan cave just ahead of a bunker buster surprise might be a good idea.
Round Up Report: If your local mall is still intact after this jittery weekend, this New York Times report will give you some reasons why. Keep it up, you guys, we certainly can find the jail space.
Georgia Congress-nitwit Cynthia McKinney, the one who used to stand outside the house floor and drool over Clinton during Impeachment, is now drooling over some Saudi money she thinks is on the table. She has taken it upon herself to apologize to the Saudi prince whom Mayor Giuliani sent packing. Nice try, Cynthia.
