Another Smokin' Update from the Creator of All Wisdom

I should be writing perfect syntheses of the day's events like Allah does, but since he's already done all the first-class work, why not just link?

Here's a taste:

In interviews, Burkett accused the Guard of failing to provide him with proper medical treatment, as a result of which he became partly paralyzed and had a nervous breakdown. He told author Moore that, in desperation, he saved himself from death by taking a dose of cattle penicillin that turned out to be three times the correct dosage for his body weight.

Kurtz quotes Joe Lockhart as saying he's "99.9 percent sure" that Burkett didn't bring up Bush's military service when they spoke on the phone. And why would he, really? It's only the subject he seems to have obsessed over morning, noon, and night for the past five fucking years. And he only happened to have in his possession at the time documents relating to that subject which, he told USA Today, he considered to be "absolute TNT". Why would he think to mention them to one of Kerry's campaign advisors?

Pssst: I think he's being sarcastic.
