No offense, dude, but this post is so full of Cheerios it isn't even funny.

What "global warming tax" are you talking about? The cap and trade tax that that liberal wimp John McCain first introduced in the Senate in 2003?

What exactly do you think Bush would have done in Iran? Invaded it and been greeted as a liberator? Or that the clerics would have given up power because they were afraid of Bush? Puhleeze.

I'm rooting for the democratic movement in Iran, too, but one thing the hard liners and reformers have in common there is disdain for the U.S. For example, the hard liners and reformers all want Iran to have their own nuclear program, even the most pro-Western factions.

Why? Well maybe it's because we overthrew the Muslim world's first democratically elected government in Iran -- put together by prime minister Mohammed Mossadegh -- in the 50s and installed a despot, the Shah. The people who overthrew the Shah are the ones in power now.

That's why Obama is being so careful about this. He doesn't want the clerics in Iran to have any ammunition they can use to support their claim the uprising was caused by us. He's trying to preserve his options short of military action over Iran's nukes regardless of who winds up in power.

North Korea exploded its first nuke and tested its first long-range missile in 2006, when it withdrew from the Six Party negotiations and ended UN inspections. Yep, Cowboy George scared that whack-a-doodle Kim Jong Il silly.

Speaking of Cheerios, Bill:
The FDA told General Mills to stop making specific claims about how much Cheerios can lower cholesterol because it hasn't undergone the kind of testing that would allow it to make that claim. GM was basing the claim on study of a low-cholesterol diet of which Cheerios was a part.

The FDA said that if GM wanted to talk about whole grain foods and their benefits, the ads would be out of their jurisdiction.
But if they wnat to make the specific claims about how much Cheerios lowers cholesterol, it could apply to have it undergo testing as a drug because that kind of testing that establishes those sorts of claims.
