Good Morning America, It's 2002 Again

Iran has publicly declared its intention to acquire and use Nuclear weapons to kill people.

It was once said, if you tell a lie to people enough, it becomes the truth. This Administration has proved that works in America.

It's 2002 and we're still living in this nightmare.

The smoking gun in the form of a mushroom cloud and we can't have that, imagine the death! The destruction!

Hold up, we have up to a million dead in Mesopotamia and still rising.

My blood boils at this shit.

Iran has publicly declared its intention to acquire and use Nuclear weapons to kill people.

If you tell a lie enough, it becomes the truth.

This time, Bush was talking to the Iranians themselves through Radio Farda -- the Voice of America propaganda channel for Iran. If you were wondering, Farda means 'tomorrow' in Farsi. Tomorrow, the Bush Admin might promise, is the beginning of your new life -- free from the oppression of the Islamic Republic.

What they will omit is that Farda brings with it the oppressive thumb of the American Empire. We'll drape an American flag on a Khomeini statue and rape you of your cultural inheritance. Time to Modernize. Fuck agency, we'll tell you what it looks like, and it begins with what ever we fucking say it begins with. We are your friendly neighborhood occupiers from thousands of miles away, we call the shots. Say hi to KBR and Blackwater, bitches. You shouldn't have threatened us with nuclear weapons!

If you tell a lie enough, it becomes the truth.

Iran has publicly declared its intention to acquire and use Nuclear weapons to kill people.

Premier Bush assures us for the 5th straight year that things are getting better in Iraq and that he made the right decision.

Is it any surprise that suicide bombers in Iraq are primarily working class men? Of course not. The US invasion and occupation has given them nowhere to go. Thanks Imperialsm ®!

"The only lesson we learn is that we never learn" -- Sadly, this is the truth. But to be fair, bourgeois history isn't teaching us very well.

Throngs of people chanting in Iran. No news there. Oh, what's that you say? They're chanting death to Ahmadinejad? Yeah, that's fucking nuts.

Black is the New President Bitch!

It's no secret that NBB loves Tracey Morgan.

Whether he's threatening to get girls pregnant or supporting someone for president, there is no denying the man.

Case in point.

Chimpanzee that Monkey News....

Ricky Gervais of Office and Extras fame had a Radio Show (and later Podcast) from 2003 on in London. The show features Gervais; his co-writer, Stephen Merchant; and their producer, Karl Pilkington, who may be the most inane person alive.

In one of the more famous (and hilarious) bits on the show, Karl would tell a story he had heard about a monkey or chimpanzee. The following is one of those stories, put to animation.

Enjoy.

Today I woke up in Palestine

From the JPost:

Ma'aleh Adumim resident Julian Czarny woke up recently to discover that he lived in "Palestine" - at least according to the popular Internet social networking site Facebook.

Facebook no longer allows members from Ma'aleh Adumim, Ariel, Betar Illit and other settlements over the Green Line to list their hometowns as situated in Israel, but instead provides only a preset location, with their country listed as "Palestine."

The JPost article is not shy about its opinion on the matter. I find it interesting that these settlers who DO NOT LIVE WITHIN THE RECOGNIZED BORDERS of Israel expect they should be listed as being in Israel.

They claim that Facebook is discriminating against Jews living in settlements and that "the supposedly liberal managers of Facebook [are] unilaterally [changing] the map of Israel in such a way that takes no account of the realities on the ground." I say to them, the reality on the ground is that YOU DON'T LIVE IN ISRAEL. Your government has occupied territories belonging to another group of people, but these territories are not within ANY recognized borders of Israel. If anything, the Israeli government is unilaterally changing the map of the region and forcing a reality on another nation.

I'm so sick of this shit.

"We do movies."

We here at NBB asked these two up and coming stars to help us with some web design and a video, but sadly they don't like Jews.

Kellogg Brown & Root (formerly of Halliburton) has been skirting Medicare and Social Security payments by hiring workers through a shell company in a Tax Shelter. This is a corporation "serving" American soldiers in Iraq. How much longer are we going to let this sort of rampant corporate abuse?

Oh and they also failed to provide Troops with potable water.

My head explodes as Olmert backs MORE settlements in the West Bank.

All of this upsetting? Pajiba has a fantastic bit on Arrested Development that should cheer you right up.

Mother names her child Isaac. No problems there....oh wait, his last name is Cox you say? Yeah, that kid is fucked.
