Some FoxNews whacko just called Saddam "a subterranean rat scuttling
through underground tunnels in Baghdad."
Maybe it's just late, but I found that to be hysterically funny.
MEMO TO FOX: I know it's a novel concept, but how about not overdoing
it?
BORDEAUX, France - Vandals in this southwest Bordeaux torched a
replica of the Statue of Liberty and cracked the pedestal of a plaque
honoring victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. The crowned head
of the 8-foot-tall statue was blackened by fire and its eyes were marked
with red paint, apparently to symbolize tears of blood, an official at
the mayor's office said. [...]
Today, tensions between France and the United States have flared over the
war in Iraq. French people overwhelmingly oppose the U.S.-led conflict
and President Jacques Chirac angered many Americans by trying to slow the
U.S. drive to war. In France, vandals have ransacked McDonald's
restaurants in Paris and Strasbourg, targeting the fast food chain as a
symbol of American influence.
