Despite my opposition to the Iraq war, we still have to support the troops, and we should do whatever we can to make them feel better over, despite their circumstances.

But is sending in Cheerleaders the right move? I mean, you’re not getting laid for the most part while you’re at war. Do you really need hot chicks who won’t have sex with you shaking their asses in your face? Read more

In the past when I’ve covered the extreme growth of a Facebook Group it’s usually dedicated to trivial subjects, like fake presidential candidates or girls flaunting their drunkenness online. The egotistical and mind-numbingly dumb groups that have made news recently have caused me to lose sight of what a positive tool for social change the Facebook group system can be.

“Most Important Facebook Group Ever! Thanking our Troops!!” allows each Facebook member to send a personalized message to a soldier abroad. Their message is printed on a card, mailed and distributed, making this a great way to thank the people serving our country. Read more

The approval rate of President George Bush and Congress has plummeted - again.

As of this morning, a Reuters/Zogby poll indicated that only a paltry 29 percent of Americans give Dubya the thumbs-up while a baffling 11 percent approve of the job Congress is doing. Both numbers are a record-low for each, leaving nothing short of complete doubt over the powers handling America’s policies. The country fears a recession within the next year - not good.

I’ll be the first to admit that I did some messed up shit to my frenemies during my younger years. One time in middle school, my friends and I poured Snapple and mashed strawberries in a girl’s backpack because we were fighting for absolutely no reason.

Seeing as our military isn’t in middle school (though they are in a similar predicament: fighting for absolutely no reason), I’d expect a little more tact from them. But apparently the U.S. military has come down with the mean girls-syndrome that I suffered circa the strawberry incident.

No, they didn’t mash strawberries in the backpacks of Iraqi extremists. But they did do some very Regina George-esque plotting to create a gay bomb to use against enemy soldiers. A gay bomb. Seriously.

A watchdog organization that tracks military spending exposed the U.S. military’s plan to build a bomb that could turn opposing soldiers gay—consequently shifting their focus from fighting to sex, CBS reported.

The watchdog group found that “the Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistibly attractive to one another.â€? Read more
