TIME has decided to go with a cover story in the US about how the Bible should be taught in public schools. Everywhere else in the world, though, they’re going with a story called “The Truth About Talibanistan”, about the resurgence of the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.

Check the covers:

Regular readers might recall that Newsweek pulled the same bullshit last September — which, coincidentally enough, was ALSO about the fact that while we’re wasting our time (and soldier’s lives) in Iraq, Afghanistan is slipping back to the Taliban.

The Clipper — an airship hotel.

Very cool. I’d love to see this one built.

For those of you who want to know what Rudy Giuliani is really like, beyond the bullshit “America’s Mayor/9-11” narrative, here’s a quote from a speech he gave when he was Mayor:

“…freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do.”

Ask yourself this: After 8 years under an authoritarian, do you really want another one?
