Things

>>> The Boston Red Sox won the World Series. Yawn.

>>> Penn State University is also known as PeeSU for the students' hobby of throwing bags of urine at visiting teams and their bands.

>>> This administration could have ended the war and other hostilities with the use of diplomacy. Apparently, Mr. Bush and company just haven't made the effort to work for peace.

>>> The Bush Administration finds it hard to give up on its friends, like Ahmad Chalabi. Here is a tidbit from the Miami Herald:
Ahmad Chalabi, the controversial Iraqi politician and one-time Bush administration favorite, has reemerged as a central figure in the latest U.S. strategy for Iraq.....
How is it possible that this guy just seems to be in the center of everything concerning Iraq?

> When the government says that x number of Taliban have been killed in Afghanistan, how are they positive exactly how many were killed and that they were all Taliban?

+++ Here is a great response from The Gap (Raw Story):
US clothing retailer Gap Inc. said Sunday it will not sell garments that were allegedly produced by Indian child labour following an undercover expose by a British newspaper.....

"Our team in India is conducting a full investigation and we have already made sure the products will never be sold," said Dan Henkle, Gap Inc.'s senior vice president of social responsibility, in a company statement.....

I'm glad to see The Gap respond so quickly to the controversy.
