Our Best and Our Brightest

and a Few Terrorists to boot.

Stretched thin by the $12 billion/month occupation of Iraq, the US military has been forced to up the quota of convicted terrorists allowed to become their own Army of One.

Washington (CNN) -- Recruits were allowed to enlist after having been convicted of crimes including assault, burglary, drug possession and making terrorist threats.

The statistics were released by Rep. Henry Waxman, a California Democrat who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Whatever it takes

This just in from Kevin Kamberg, preemptive blogger and film critic:

I think it would be a mistake for Merkley to try to use kitschy shtick as a campaign messaging theme. It's not who he is nor is it representative of the kind of change he brings.

The ads he is using reflect the kind of candidate he is - A serious candidate tackling serious, timely issues.

Mr. Kamberg must also be a comedian, for surely, he jests...

This isn't to imply that Speaker Merkley is Republican light. I merely wish to state that his "off the shelf" establishment campaign smacks of Rovian tactics. (Oh, and I wanted to offer a gentle jab to my blogger bud Kev. He made me LOL!)

Who is more viral?
