Josef Erich "Joe" Zawinul -- who established a new school of music with Miles Davis and led the seminal Weather Report with Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, et al. -- passed away Tuesday in his beloved Austria, appropriately in Vienna, the "city of musicians."

But it's gonna take more than a press release to make the defining of a new country's borders a reality. Lakota Oyate, a Native American activist group that just a couple of weeks ago declared the sovereignty of Lakota Sioux land in the north-central U.S., has issued a map outlining the newly free and independent nation of Lakota.

Oh, I know, it's non-binding and not an actual declaration of war, and they amended some of the language. But you should know how these things go by now. This has given Bush the political justification, however flimsy, to execute 'Operation Bomb the Ragheads II: Git that Amadajad Feller.'

Snippet - "If and when I ever get to be Interior Minister, one of my first acts is going to be the putting to death of anyone who thinks God interferes in the outcome of things like sporting events and elections. I'd want to have a giant shark tank built expressly for this purpose. Just throw them in there and then dump a couple of barrels of cow blood in the water..."

There are 200,000 contractors serving various military functions there. Some of these contractors perform mundane tasks such as meal preparation and laundry. But many are involved in dangerous activities. And others have access to high powered weaponry, which they have (allegedly) sold on the black market or used for target practice on Iraqi civilians. And how are these contractors controlled? They're not... HugoDrax Tue, 28 Aug 2007 19:37:18 GMT
