Issue 92

News: Dick Cheney says "War in Iraq was a bad idea".
I discovered a video from 1994, wherein Dick Cheney remarked that a war in Iraq would eventually become a quagmire. He remarks that, even after one takes out Saddam's government, there's not going to be too much stability, and that a war would in the end be not worth the amount of casualties. Of course, thirteen years later, what he said became true, and every American knew it. Every American, except for, ironically, Dick Cheney, who apparently changed his mind about an invasion of Iraq in 2002, a full two years after reaffirming his 1994 statements on Meet The Press. He managed to predict the future of the invasion of Iraq, but incredibly somehow managed to forego his own warnings and went with a plan to invade Iraq anyway in a quixotic quest to bring democracy to the middle east. At this point, I have not much else to say but that I needed a story and decided to go with this one.

Band Name of the Day: The Five Minus Four against Fighting. An answer to another "band" name.

Film Idea of the Day: A TV series about a family, including two very eccentric children (adults who still live with their parents). The main focus of the show is one of the "children", who was released into his parents' custody after harassing a telethon, and works primarily for a fledgeling Weekly World News-style tabloid called Trash News, and to a lesser extent, his sister with a flossing compulsion.

Film Review of the Day: The Shining. It's actually a great film. Nowhere near A Clockwork Orange, but still great. I must say that there was only one part that truly scared me. It wasn't the part with the ghostly twins, the "redrum", the halls filling with blood, Jack trying to kill his wife, the jarring shot of Jack frozen in the snow , or even the decomposing woman, but Shelly Duvall's face.

Quote of the Day: "I don't have low self-esteem. I have low esteem for everyone else."

Link of the Day: Breaking News: Jack T. Chick finally photographed.
