The Dork Report for January 6, 2007
Python Terry Jones steps out of drag and crunches the numbers on the Iraq war (spotted on Neil Gaiman’s Journal):
This will bring the total spent on the White House’s current obsession with war to almost $500bn – enough to have given every US citizen $1,600 each. I wonder which the voters would have gone for if given the choice: shall we (a) give every American $1,600 or (b) spend the money on bombing a country in the Middle East that doesn’t use lavatory paper?
Of course, there’s another thing that George Bush could have done with the money: he could have given every Iraqi $18,700.
Terry JonesA dream interview, no matter which way around: Read Yourself Raw runs the complete transcription of Alan Moore vs Brian Eno (no longer online: readyourselfraw.com/profiles/moore/moore_vs_eno/chainreaction_eno.htm) originally on BBC Radio 4.
