Who's Sorry Now? 02-03-06

So many apologies...so little time.

Who is apologizing, who should be apologizing, who doesn't have a clue!

MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT, WE'RE ADDICTED TO OIL

1. With that in mind, the Cartoon Wars roar on. It's the "We're not sorry for our opinions" portion of our program. "We're not apologizing for opinions expressed in cartoons even under the threat of the wrath of Islam. "(read more here) So, let's get this straight. We here in America support and defend the right of political cartoonists to express themselves as part of our democracy and freedom. Oh, except when the Pentagon declares a cartoon beyond tasteless. (Tom Toles cartoon from the WaPo.) You may want to look at our history of using political satire here. There's plenty more all over the Internet. (more fun at attytood here)

2. You don't want to have to apologize (or go to jail) for the company you keep."That brings us to Rep. John Doolittle, CA R-Rocklin, who is trying to distance himself from the scandals of Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-San Diego, and lobbyist Jack "Jailbird" Abramoff. Doolittle has some 'splainin' to do, witch hunt or not" read more

3. Get a clue! This kid takes his dying mother's morphine drip (read more here) Maybe he got the idea from A Million Little... IV Drips? BTW, we still want to know if you thought JF was loaded on Oprah last week? Come clean, JF, on Post An Apology.

4. This guy's probably not sorry either. And didn't you have a feeling this was happening. Why are we not surprised? "Former U.S. official admits to kickbacks in Iraq. Says he smuggled millions out of Iraq, laundered money in three countries." (read more)

5. Oh dear, oh dear, apologies needed here. " New Zealand filmmaker Lee Tamahori, who directed the James Bond movie "Die Another Day," has been arrested in a Hollywood prostitution sting while dressed in drag." Fits right in to one of the gay-est Oscar seasons in years. (read more here) Is there a reality show / documentary in the making here?

5. So speaking of I'm not sorry, you might want to reconsider if you're in the doghouse . With Valentine's Day right around the corner, you're going to need a way to make those pesky apologies for ...let's see...getting caught in the cathouse maybe? This guy has it figured out (Mark's Apology Form Letter Generator) on how to get back into the good graces of your honey.
