We're pounding the living shit out of Baghdad! Buildings are like, on fire and shit!

Mr. Diamond (diamond), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 04:15 (twenty-two years ago)

they were tickleing it with feathers before this?

dyson (dyson), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 04:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Nah, but they're really revelling in it tonight. The sadistic glee in just focusing on the carnage is reaching new heights obv.; with the taking of Baghdad the ability of the media to place more cameras more strategically w/in the city offers the possibility for more disgusting and dehumanized images.

Mr. Diamond (diamond), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

ya, but like cnn will be showing any of that.
i'm not seeing much action right now, just the al jazeera building on fire.

aren't american soldiers renowned for that sadistic flipout thing once they've been on the road for a while?

"Just in" on my email (I hope this is genuine though I have my doubts):

From Sky News

UK defence minister Geoff Hoon said in The Commons yesterday: "Umm Qasr is a city similar to Croydon,"

A British squaddie patrolling Umm Qasr responded: "He's either never
been to Croydon, or he's never been to Umm Qasr"

Another soldier added: "There's no beer, no prostitutes and people are
shooting at us. It's more like Sutton."

That is genuine, but subsitute 'Croydon' for 'Southampton' and 'Sutton' for 'Portsmouth'.

it would be great if Hoon mixed them up and ordered a battalion in to attack Croydon

stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

um it wouldn't be that great

Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot

gotta love those quaint english terms!

one year passes...

"It was a fairly awful and dreadful time," Quest says. "I got myself into a very nasty situation. I don't blame anyone else for what took place. But I got back from that position because of other people. That I've yanked myself back is not so much a testimony to what I can do, but more a testimony to what other people can do when supporting people. And that's what I take from it."

twelve years pass...

Just from a math perspective, this headline on the CNN site makes me laugh: "Dollar Tree hikes prices 25%. Everything will now cost $1.25."
