This is pretty funny — or it would be if people weren’t dying. Let’s be clear to the Chinese in terms they might understand: blaming the Dalai Lama for violence is like blaming George Bush for intellect. Nuff said?

This, too, would be funny if people weren’t dying because of it. Uncle Dick is still mouthing the same lies about Saddam and al Qaeda:

This month, an exhaustive Pentagon-sponsored review of more than 600,000 Iraqi documents captured during the 2003 U.S. invasion found no evidence that Saddam’s regime had any operational links with the al Qaida terrorist network.

But Cheney, who spent the night at a sprawling U.S. base in the northern town of Balad, told soldiers they were defending future generations of Americans from a global terror threat.

Out of respect for the dead and wounded soldiers and civilians of this American atrocity in Iraq, there will be no post tomorrow. I’ll be marching with Brooklyn For Peace, so if you’re around, look for the guy in the black hat and say hello.

And now here’s your Transcendental Daily:

I am as desirous of being a good neighbor as I am of being a bad subject. (Thoreau, Civil Disobedience).
