Off topic, but noteworthy

News: "Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, launched a stinging attack on President George Bush last night, denouncing him as the 'greatest threat to life on this planet that we've most probably ever seen'."

Um, WHAT?!?! Nevermind Hitler and Stalin. How are politicians allowed to go saying idiotic things like this? I just don't get it....

There seems to be no accountability these days for stating the absurd.

Radical extremist religious fanatics want to annihilate the developed world because of our decadent use of toilet paper, among other atrocities, and this guys thinks Bush is the enemy. Ken Livingstone can go get stuffed.
