TGIF, I guess.

London gets bike friendly � Zuki, one of the anti-car people who posts at Portland IMC, gives us more reasons why London is better than any city in America. If you haven�t heard, cars are charged $8 a day for driving in or through London�s city center. So bicycles and their side affects, impotency and constipation, have entered the city in droves. Oh wait, impotency was already there.

Blood on the Bridge � Is Michael Rasmussen writing about protesters being beat up by police on a bridge? Or maybe poor, little �palestinian� Molotov throwers being shot by IDF soldiers? Nope. Two bicyclists couldn�t seem to get around each other and collided, falling down and going boom. The comments turn into a facist demand for bike helmet laws.

Rachel Corrie nominated for Nobel Peace Prize � As we all know, St Rachel of the Dozers and her fellow terrorist enablers, ISM, got nominated for a Nobel. Kim lets everyone at the IMC know, and then points out a petition to get Bush and Blair taken off the nomination list.

US Hands Off North Korea � Steve Argue can�t stand up to his name and whines about his favorite place on earth possibly being next on the US�s hit list. Of course there is no mention of the International ANSWER group having ties to the Norks. But the left has always put their blinders on when it comes to that subject.

The Republican Matrix � Tom Tomorrow is trying to be like his idol, Ted Rall.

US might have used nukes in Afghanistan � Clabber Grrl tries to convince you that the American Special Forces used nuclear weapons in Afghanistan. Because mushroom clouds are so inconspicuous.

And our winner today is�
As you all know, our lovely waterfront park is being torn apart again � Revo is unhappy. Why is Revo unhappy? Because the annual summer festival is going to boot him and his vagrant friends out of the waterfront park. And (gasp) capitalism is going to take their place. The commenters mostly agree with him, which is what makes this funny.
