Noted propaganda remixer Micah Ian Wright lied about being an Army Ranger.

Bummer. The veteran thing gave his posters more "cred" (they are still fantastic, of course). It is kind of weird how America exults military service in a time when so few serve. That this is supposed to give veterans a special kind of credibility on anything (except the experience of war) reminds me of Starship Troopers.

"In the popular political imagination we're familiar with the neocons as conniving militarists, masters of intrigue and cabals, graspers for the oil supplies of the world, and all the rest. But here we have them in what I suspect is the truest light: as college kid rubes who head out for a weekend in Vegas, get scammed out of their money by a two-bit hustler on the first night and then get played for fools by a couple hookers who leave them naked and handcuffed to their hotel beds." -- Josh Marshall, on how Ahmed Chalabi scammed the neocons.
