Apparently, Michael Moore said something stupid. That is nothing new. He’s good at it. The surprise is that he got booed. He won an award for best manipulation of data and interviews in an effort to support a fallacious point of view err documentary. Ok fine, he’s just a liar.
Here’s a pic of the new AR:
Note that the wife made me sweep the kitchen floor before taking that pic.
And here’s a pic of the complete SayUncle household security system:
I’ve seen speculation that some missles fired were scuds but none confirmed, until now. The German Defense Ministry said an examined missile was a scud.
Wonder if Dubya has started calling Chirac, saying nanny nanny boo boo, and hanging up?
Update: Bubba says it ain’t so!
One year ago today, Mrs. Uncle and me tied the knot. It’s been the happiest year of my life. How time flies. Happy Anniversary, sweetie.
The Fox News channel is reporting that British satellites have confirmed that on 3/19 Saddam was taken out of a building on a stretcher to an ambulance. His injuries reportedly were minor.
Finished my AR today. Pix coming!
Bush wants them and the Senate wants to scale them back. Sure we have a war to pay for, but our economy is just now recovering. These cuts are what we need.
Saw the talking heads on Fox questioning why the lights were still on in Baghdad. They thought that, militarily, it wasn’t smart as the US military could see where activity was. I wonder if they really think the lights will affect our laser guided missiles ability to hit a target?
There’s been some talk about the Oscars (or whatever award show it is) and whether that will happen due to the war. I am torn about this issue, mostly because I never watch these award shows. It’s a lot of gratuitous promotion for people who don’t really need promotion; and it’s big dollars. So basically, I don’t care about the Oscars and wouldn’t watch them anyway. I’d likely be glad if they didn’t interrupt my regularly scheduled line-up of mediocre television programming.
The Oscars should continue on principle though. If they don’t, then it is an indication that our country can’t function as usual in the event of conflict. We should continue to do what we do, yet remain aware and mindful of the situation. I’m not going to take time off from work just to watch the war, as an example.
So, America, keep doing what you do. And that goes for you too, Will Smith!
Don’t get so caught up in the war that you fail to notice the other things happening in this country. War is often justification for violations of civil liberties. Nor is it a reason to not be mindful of other current events.
Glenn Reynolds has more.
This could be bad! Or an indication.
As many as three U.S. missiles aimed at targets in Iraq may have landed in Iran, two officials at the Pentagon said Saturday.
Some protests over this cartoon about Rachel Corrie.
Update: More to come. Stupidity that is.
Assuming he’s not powder, what are his options?
1) He can fight with all he’s got, and lose. Doing this, he will basically show the world he’s in violation of UN Resolutions. As Bubba points out, there is some uncertainty as to whether the missiles fired were in fact scuds (which violate UN resolutions). This of course would discredit any of his claims. He may do this as he is delusional enough to believe that he can win.
2) Refuse to use scuds while prolonging the war however he can, and still lose. This option would serve to discredit the US, particularly if Saddam destroyed his missiles (assuming he has them). He could essentially attempt to discredit the claims of the US. In addition, by prolonging the war, he will increase the likelihood of civilian casualties and collateral damage. This again makes the US look like a bunch of bullies. He could do this in an effort to further the hatred of the US among the Arab world.
3) Run and hide.
The ball is clearly in his court. I hope for everyone’s sake that the war does not draw out. Some good news is the reports that essentially the command infrastructure of Iraq has been wiped out.
Well, if it was made before hand, he’d have probably made an effort to make himself look a little better.
Once more, K-Town bloggers are featured in the KNS and no mention of yours truly. Maybe it’s because I intentionally didn’t blog about the war? Maybe it’s because I’m a little fish in a big pond? Or maybe it’s because I suck?
We here at SayUncle are going through some changes. Starting sometime soon, there will be two new bloggers to your irregularly scheduled line up. Hopefully, they will add a level of class and sophistication that we’ve been lacking (but I doubt it). Please give a welcome to Tree Fitty and Anonymous Coward.

It’s been absolutely agonizing attempting to stay loyal to the Republican Party while watching the Bush administration trash our individual freedoms via Campaign Finance Reform, the Patriot Act, and Homeland Security legislation. There is no need to go to war – our freedoms have been destroyed and the 19 Muslim punks have resoundingly defeated us. They are dead, but we lost!
Liberalism blocked the most effective safety measure that could have been employed: armed pilots. But liberals used their gun hysteria so effectively that the airlines and their insurance companies were terrified allowing pilots to be armed. Truth, honesty, and what is in the best interests of Americans are never a consideration.

Some of the rest of it may need a fisking, but those statements ring true.
Here at the office, I’ll work fifteen minutes then check the news sites. Every time I hit a site, the headlines change. Everything from: Troops Seize Port Town, Oil Wells Aflame, etc., etc. Up to the moment media, I suppose. Amazes me how quickly information about this war is in print and ready for dissemination. I’m in awe at the wealth of coverage, truly the electronic age. Reporters keep saying things like Remember, this is not a video game. Too much, too fast to blog about. See for yourselves:
FoxNews
CNN
Instapundit – Yeah, he’s news
Drudge
Ananova
Google
Of course, if I were at home, I’d be flipping through the cable news channels.
Interesting stuff at Dear Raed.
It is truly overwhelming.
I won’t add much since all the other bloggers are doing fine job. However, some points:
* I saw on the news this morning where Iraq has already used weapons it didn’t have. Must have made them yesterday
* I wonder if Shock and Awe was just disinformation to scare Iraqis (and apparently liberals)
* Precisely how surgical can missiles be?
Kevin tells us how those sworn to interpret the Constitution are perhaps misguided. Kinda reminds me of how during the early 90s in Florida, a court ruled that because homes have toilets (which can be used to flush small amounts of contraband), law enforcement therefore was not required to knock before entering with a warrant. Has that very Big Brother flavor, don’t it?
Does anyone know why the permalink for the first post on a blogspot blog never seems to work?
Update: Fixed the glaring errors and added Bubba’s idea.
Bjorn draws our attention to some tree huggers that spent almost a year living in trees to prevent the trees from being chopped down.
Of course, my questions about the incident are not related to their cause, but rather consist of:
* How’d they go twosies (or onesies if they were female, I mean a guy could just yell look out below and whiz away)?
* Did they have sex?
* Does Dominoes Pizza deliver there?
* Did they have cable or any other form of entertainment (like Uno cards, ’cause man those games can last a year)?
* Did they leave their high level executive jobs to do this?
Enquiring minds wanna know, I wanna know.
Update: What about hygiene? Did they just reside in the fact that they’d spend a year smelling like ass?
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
