After the lunar eclipse, the Moon is back
No, not the harmless one in the sky that's filled with gorganzola (mmmm... gorganzola), but the scary cult leader who owns a "major" (read: has a lot of orange boxes on the street) newspaper. Bill Gertz, who wrote an amazing story appearing in today's edition on how the Iraqi military, despite essentially evaporating and not really fighting the U.S. during the invasion, cooperated with the Russians to smuggle 380 tons of stinking caca (sorry, qa qaa) out of the country at the very last moment with nary a peep from our spy sattelites.
Gertz looks to be a Moonie true believer, who recieved major praise from the Moon Man himself and whose wife went to a Moonie retreat in Korea.
Buzz over to Tbogg, who found some interesting comments in this wingnut's blog:
The Washington Times is a very careful and thorough journalistic organization. Rev. Moon is indeed a very strange individual, if not even downright weird---but he has nothing to do with running the newspaper. Moon is similar in this respect to the church leaders who apparently still own the Christian Science Monitor. And yes, The Washington Times is far more reliable than The New York Times. It earns our respect. So much so, that one is hard pressed to point out any major blunders by any of its journalists. Are there any?
Yeppers. Independent. Very independent. You are free to leave whenever you want...
