WTF Is It Now?!?

St. Basil Cathedral, Red Square.

Still here. I've gotten emails saying some of the yahoo links don't work, and that the site is still taking a long time to load up. Crap. Blogger #ucks up a lot of links on a regular basis. Usually I can catch it during the posting process, but sometimes it doesn't warn me that it's cut off the ends. As far as it taking so long, ???? I don't know what else to do but cut back on the pics. If anyone has any other ideas, let me know. In very basic terms, please!

Nine billion dollars of taxpayer money missing in Iraq
The Coalition Provisional Authority - formerly run by Paul Bremer, who received a Presidential Medal of Freedom last month - has lost $9,000,000,000 in funds due to "frauds, corruption and other misbehavior."

Fun fact: one of the main benefactors of Iraq funds was VP Dick Cheney's "former" company Halliburton, which was paid about $1.7 billion dollars.
Fun fact 2: your new secretary of state, Condoliar Rice, was supposedly in charge of the CPA.
Fun fact 3: The voting Sunday did not degenerate into a violent bloodbath, so it was all worth it.
