In other web items (and mostly for Jack T.) , here is a link to more reaction to the Budweiser "patriotism" ad that you queried me about the other day. I must have been getting more lasagna to eat or trying to track down Ariel, as I didn't see the ad run during the game.

actually, more than wrench,
it was c-h-i-l-l-i-n-g.
and what's MSNBC doing asking Paul Krugman about this?? i like Krugman, but he's an ECONOMIST. how about Eric Alterman, who is one of their contributors?
does anyone want to defend this ad?????????
i consider it war profiteering, at best, and, at worst (ie. reality, these days), right wing imperialistic propaganda.
oh, and Burb, sorry about Star Trek. perhaps you should write a pilot for a new one and pitch it to UPN.
I missed that one, dangit! But here's my favorite line from the soldier in Iraq:

Wow. TWO beers!!
Do the "two towers" of Anheuser Busch that light up our quasi-urban sky with "Budweiser" and "Bud Light" remind anyone else of the presence of Saruman?
