Jurors took about seven hours to reach their decision Thursday. Last week, the
same 15-person military jury took just two and a half hours last week to convict
Akbar of premeditated murder and attempted premeditated murder.The sentence will be reviewed by a commanding officer and automatically appealed. If Akbar is executed, it would be by lethal injection.
2. Several of the networks cut off President Bush's address last night in mid-sentence...to switch to May Sweeps programming. Bastards! I swear! Don't they have a responsibility to the public? Would it have killed them to start their regularly scheduled programming later in the evening? It just pisses me off!
3. Noble Eagle is a bit peevish today. He sounds off here about the incessant filibuster and nuclear option. Once again, he hits a home run. My favorite parts:
Make your case to the American people and then do what needs to be done. If
you lose your next election, so be it. Victory belongs to the bold. There's no
room for pussies in the winner's circle....
This threat is a lot like a child threatening to hold his breath if he doesn't get his own way. He might make good on the threat, but he can't hold his breath forever. The Dems will cave quickly enough without their snouts in the trough.

(W)hat Republicans do now is irrelevant to how Dems will treat them in the future. First the GOP had the nerve to "sieze control" of the Congress in 1994, then they "stole" the election in 2000. The Dems have gone ballistic. The GOP has committed a mortal sin; they took power from them. There can be no atonement for this sin. No matter what Frist & Co. do, no quarter will be give to Republicans if the Dems ever get back in control of the Congress.
Be sure to catch the trivia at the end of the piece! Too funny.
4. Fiesty Christina points out Boileryard's interest in news of bin Laden's mistress, Kola Boof. I'm with Boileryard Clarke. Somehow, I too missed this news. She's writing a tell-all about the evil one including such insights as his love or fascination with "Rock Lobster" by the B-52's and his "freaky" sexual proclivities. Fox News did an interview, the text of which can be found here.
I've got the shivers now. Sleep with the goat-fucker? Rape I understand, he'd have to force me too, but then becoming his mistress? Not this chick.
