Random News & Views Roundup

- speaking of propaganda, Bloomberg has jumped the shark with its crazy headline, "Iran Could Produce Nuclear Bomb in 16 Days, U.S. Says". Iran has announced that it has used 164 centrifuges to enrich uranium. That's it: 164. According to the US State department though, if Iran went ahead and did the same to 50,000 centrifuges (which would actually take one hell of a long time), well - watch out! Now why would someone at the state department be pushing that meme...? Hmmm...
(hat tip to TPM.)

- back at the ranch, Condi says it's time for "strong action" against Iran. The US State department: it's just not the same place since the crazy, warmongering overlords moved in.

- Billmon ponders how Americans might react to nuclear strikes on Iran in his post, "Mutually Assured Dementia".

- Vancouver kidnap victim, Graham McMynn, has been found alive. That's a relief.

- CBC has an idiot's guide to the proposed Conservative Accountability Act.

- "heckuva job" Brownie is offering his services to the people of NOLA's St Bernard's Parish. I'd love to be at that meeting.

- need a break from all of this madness? Check out olivia's site.

- Cowboys For Social Responsibility have found a new, favourite word.

- another Iraqi mosque has been blown up. Civil war? What civil war?

- meanwhile, a Sunni politician is warning that 'Iraq will drown in a river of blood' if a government isn't formed soon. Yeesh.

- don't just take my word for it. It's well-known that the Israel lobby is behind the push for attacks against Iran.

- White House sock puppet, Scott McClellan, accuses ABC of "reckless reporting". Oooo. Ouch.

- Massachusetts governor Romney signed a bill today that would "virtually all Massachusetts residents have health insurance". What is he? A commie?

- Oh my goodness. A Canadian study has linked beer to lung cancer. A collective "what the hell, eh?" was heard throughout the country when the news was announced.

- Karl Rove says Iran's president is "not a rational human being". Rove should know. He works for an irrational human being every single day.
