Even Andy Rooney is against this war!

He's complained about loud music, revealing swimsuits, call waiting, and now finally even Andy Rooney is pissed off about the war in Iraq. If you click here, you can read Rooney's cranky review of the current war, with a shout out to Dwight Eisenhower, who gave one of the most prophetic quotes I've ever seen about the United States' dependence on war...

"We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist..." - Dwight Eisenhower

Want to know where the money for Katrina is? Check out our war budget. Last year, Japan spent $42 billion on their military; Italy spent $28 billion; Russia only $19 billion. The U.S.? We spent $455 billion, and counting.

Who's reaping the benefits of this? Certainly not our soldiers...they can barely get enough armor to cover their vehicles. And it's definitely not your or I...do you feel any safer, knowing that since 9/11 we've been spending this kind of money on the military?

Nope...the ones that reap this benefit are the Haliburtons, or the Bechtels, or the Lockheed Martins, who collect billions upon billions for contracts that our crony-loving President and his administration set up. But of course, Bush isn't the reason we have a military industrial complex. He's only exacerbated it.

Well, I can't leave you on a depressing note, especially after I went nine days without writing, and the entry that remained up top was a sad story about exploiting poor people in photographs. So here's a picture of Andy Rooney's face, superimposed onto Napoleon's body. Sexy. *rowr*

Hope everyone has a great day!
