It's going to be HOT today, and meteorologist Dave Sweeney is not helping matters in the least by wearing a "Got Milk?" T-shirt.

Wednesday, August 19 weather forecast


95 killed and at least 563 wounded
in a series of attacks across Baghdad. U.S. Ambassador Christopher Hill sums it up best: "The whole thing is just so disgusting. They're just psychopathic."

Speaking of fundamentalist Islamic psychopathic behavior: A woman in Malaysia is sentenced to caning for drinking a beer.

Don Hewitt, the creator of 60 Minutes, is dead at the age of 86.

"Prince of Darkness"/conservative commentator Robert Novak also dead at the age of 78.

Cry-baby Republicans have successfully cut themselves out of the discussion, leaving Democrats to rework the health care bill all on their own.

Speaking of which, anti-health care nutbags return to scream and yell at a Massachusetts town hall—but this time, Rep. Barney Frank was on hand to administer an ass-whuppin'! Check it out! It's priceless!

Way to go, Barney. It's about time someone stood up to these people. I'm all for health care reform as long as it excludes illegal aliens. I suppose I'll stir up some trouble, but that's what I think.

If there's one good lesson to come out of this entire debate, it's don't sass Barny Frank.

What is really amazing is the 30+ comments about PETA and fat-shaming but not one about beating a woman for drinking a beer. I don't enjoy discriminating against people I don't know (ha ha) but I am going to go out on a limb here. All of the stories about beatings and raping (regardless of the country of origin) make me cringe; I almost reverse my opinion about war (I am a general anti-war believer) and am proud of the many men and women in this country that willingly lay down their lives for women, men, children they don't know or necessarily agree with (religion, sex, politics, etc.). I really doubt any of those fuckheads would suicide bomb for the rights of women. It ALMOST makes me happy for the war...almost.
