Where would you find the dry ice in Afghanistan?
Been out of it for a few - had a conference in Indiana last week and then went to RIPE Atlanta all weekend.
Good week. Worked hard, then played hard.
So I checked in with the news to see what I'd missed. And I know its not good to take stuff out of context, but oh well, here it is:
NBC NEWS' MEET THE PRESS, May 8th
Guests: Gary Schroen, former senior CIA agent
MR. SCHROEN: The mission was to--the first part of it was to go in and link up with the Northern Alliance, formerly headed by Ahmed Al-Massoud, and to win their confidence and their agreement to cooperate militarily with us. They were the only armed force on the ground in Afghanistan opposing the Taliban. The second part of it was, once the Taliban were broken, to attack the al-Qaeda organization, find bin Laden and his senior lieutenants and kill them.
MR. RUSSERT: Kill them?
MR. SCHROEN: Kill them.
MR. RUSSERT: Mr. Black gave you specific instructions on what he wanted you to bring home.
MR. SCHROEN: That's true. He did ask that once we got bin Laden and killed him, that we send his head back in a cardboard box on dry ice so that he could take it down and show the president.

News Radio's The Alan Colmes Show May 6th
Guest: anti-abortion activist guest Neal Horsley
COLMES: "You had sex with animals?"
HORSLEY: "Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."
COLMES: "I'm not so sure that that is so."
HORSLEY: "You didn't grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?"
COLMES: "Are you suggesting that everybody who grows up on a farm in Georgia has a mule as a girlfriend?"
HORSLEY: It has historically been the case. You people are so far removed from the reality...Welcome to domestic life on the farm...If it's warm and it's damp and it vibrates, you might in fact have sex with it."
Sigh. Times like these I miss you the most, suck.com. Greg Beato on Wonkette and Nick Gillespie on Reason just isn't the same. Like you said on your penultimate column on June 8th, 2001...
without Suck, who will challenge America's foulest blowhards? Without Suck you've got a whole country of people who think loathsome drizzlerods like Maureen Dowd are incredibly daring and insightful and self-infatuated lardasses like Thomas L. Friedman are shrewd commentators on the world scene. Without Suck who's going to challenge the sad little weasels with nothing going for them? Without Suck it's just grinning idiots all the way down, Steve Martin humor columns, asswipe behind-the-scenes specials about the making of Tomb Raider.
Its true, its true, its true.
