“Our country is sharply divided over a war that is being waged in a distant land. My views on this war are clear: it is happening, it is happening in Iraq, and it will continue to happen until it stops. Some people believe we should withdraw all the troops now. Some people believe we should stay and fight until we’ve established a stable nation. Some people believe we should gradually hand over control to the Iraqi government. I feel blessed to live in a country with so many beliefs.”

About two years ago this post Stripper, Clown & Krump - DAVID * LACHAPELLE - RIZE, spurred quite a spirited debate. I just thought it was interesting.
Anyway, I wonder if this could be responsible for all the commotion.

Our favorite indy publisher and on-line source of jocularity, McSweeney’s, has fallen on some hard times. So, they’re having a sale/auction. Stop by and have a gander. You might get your hands on this or this, if I don’t get ‘em first.
