"Dirty Bombs" Are Just the Beginning
While an alleged terrorist sits in jail for planning to blow off a "dirty bomb," authorities caution that the explosive, which is combined with radioactive waste, is not intended to cause more casualties than a conventional bomb. The purpose is to cause chaos, fear, and disruption of daily life. Other possible weapons of chaos include the "stinky bomb," which smells just awful, and the dreaded "Universal Disruptor" which would replace all network television with educational programming and unbiased news, and would probably spell the end of this country.

Castro vs. Mr. W.
CNN.com - Castro: 'Don't be foolish, Mr. W'
Fidel Castro has embarked on a propaganda campaign in response to the U.S. propaganda campaign against Cuba that no one in Cuba ever heard about ... Hmmmm.
At least he had the respect to refer to Dubya as "Mr. W." Nonetheless, this quote cuts many ways: Cuba's health, education system "is not tyranny, as Mr. W. calls it. It is justice and real equality among human beings." --- Fidel Castro
