Or maybe it's the world Canadian conspiracy-- to clog all the world's computers by overloading with news and speculation about golden-throat former sci-fi stars.

LOL   at least we have rockhard evidence of that, right here on Mudcat!

"My son died for NOTHING, and George Bush and his evil cabal and their reckless policies killed him.

Interesting how even Cindy uses the phrase 'evil cabal'. To requote the second article in my 8:45 post above:

...today many religious fundamentalist leaders are predicating their positions on the Near East, particularly Israel/Palestine, on a desire for an apocalyptic battle of titanic proportions in the region. This has led to an unholy alliance between the Zionist neocons and the largely Protestant fundamentalist right in the U.S ... These Christian fundamentalists want to see Armageddon, even if it means nuclear war in the Near East; they want to see the "Second Coming" and the end of the world. And they know to play on the deep religiosity that pervades this country, where, according to a recent Gallup Poll, some 42 percent of Americans describe themselves as "born again" or evangelical Christians.

Sorry, I just don't see the same level of absurdity in this line of reasoning as others do. Or in the possibility that Iraq was invaded and occupied by the US, in order to "liberate" the Iraqi oilfields for Israel's consumption.
