Be with you in a mo', Jimi

On the off chance that anyone reading this can appreciate the significance, today I completed 'Free Bird' on Guitar Hero II on expert. I was immediately beset by a dozen underage groupies with sacks of coke and a gold-embossed invitation to the pantheon of the lords of the plastic axe. It's been fun but eternity awaits. Later, mortals.

Dollar dollar bill y'all

Just a wee something at TalkingPointsMemo that did me head in a bit. It also happens to feature my new favourite pol, Representative Henry 'Local' Waxman (see two posts below), who asks a germane question:

The Federal Reserve sent record payouts of more than $4 billion in cash to Baghdad on giant pallets aboard military planes shortly before the United States gave control back to Iraqis, lawmakers said Tuesday.

The money, which had been held by the United States, came from Iraqi oil exports, surplus dollars from the U.N.-run oil-for-food program and frozen assets belonging to the ousted Saddam Hussein regime.

Bills weighing a total of 363 tons were loaded onto military aircraft in the largest cash shipments ever made by the Federal Reserve, said Rep. Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

"Who in their right mind would send 363 tons of cash into a war zone? But that's exactly what our government did," the California Democrat said during a hearing reviewing possible waste, fraud and abuse of funds in Iraq.

aha,aha,ahahahahaha...
