Quick Takes: Nonsense from the Left

Here are some of the headlines today, courtesy of our pals on the left side of the road:

According to Howard Dean, women in Iraq as of now stand to be worse off than they were under Saddam Hussein. Yes, Howard, it'll be so hard for those women not to be raped by Uday and Qusay, and not to see their loved ones passed through plastic shredders. They must rue the day they were liberated!

For Cindy Sheehan, it's not really about her son, but it's about Israel and Palestine. Talk about your true colors showing. What a shame she's dragging her son's memory through the mud with her muckraking. Meanwhile, her husband has filed for divorce. Could this get any seedier?

Editors of local newspapers across the country--the ones who can't afford to send their own reporters abroad--are upset with the negative slant of Iraq coverage by the AP. Well, we could have told you that! It's refreshing to know, however, that editors are letting the AP know how they feel about it. Will the AP listen?

She denies she is planning a run for president (actually, she simply ducks the question rather than answer it one way or another), but actions speak louder than words: Hillary Clinton has hired the head of "Draft Hillary for President 2004," a grass-roots organization, for her PAC staff. C'mon, Hillary. Who do you think you're really fooling?

Fidel Castro is celebrated his 79th birthday Saturday. Click on this link and take a gander at the size of that cake. Think the average Cuban "comrade" gets that at birthday time? The best thing about his birthday is that each one means he's getting older and therefore getting closer to kicking the bucket. That'd be the best present the Cubans could get!
