What the hell kind of site is this?

For starters, it's crap. This site is total crap, so don't expect much because I'm an idiot. This site is my sketch book, my side project and my feeble attempt to connect with other talentless idiots.

Here, I post my pitiful political cartoons, funny videos made by people far more talented than I am, weird news stories, boring rants about Democrats and the Republican Party, weak observations about freedom of religion and other concepts I only barely understand, and lots of other crap. I guess the key point to take away from this is that most of what you'll find here is total crap.

Cheney asks Saudis for help with Iraq

You gotta wonder what the vice president is asking the Saudis.... I don't trust this administration, so I have to wonder if Cheney is laying it all on the table or if he's trying to wheel and deal instead.

You think Cheney is saying anything this tough: "Look, we're in a tight spot and need your help. We're serious about this, and I don't mean to threaten, but we've decideed to stop being so friendly to you if you don't send an envoy to Iraq this week to try to calm things there.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney arrived Saturday in Saudi Arabia for talks with King Abdullah, apparently seeking the Sunni royal family's influence and tribal connections to calm Iraq after an especially violent week.

The vice president's one-day visit to the kingdom comes at a time of upheaval across the region, with a potentially explosive crisis in Lebanon, a logjam in the Arab-Israeli peace process and the nuclear standoff with Iran.

Iraq has been thrown into a turmoil ahead of talks scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday between President Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in the Jordanian capital, Amman.

A string of car bombings by Sunni insurgents killed 215 people in a Shiite district of Baghdad, prompted revenge attacks and threatened to unleash an outright civil war. After Thursday's bloodshed, a top Shiite political party that al-Maliki depends on for power threatened to withdraw from the government if he meets Bush. The White House said the meeting was still on.
