U.S. 'preparing the battlefield' in Iran - WTF?!?!

According to journalist Seymour Hersh in this week's edition of The New Yorker, The Bush administration has launched a "significant escalation" of covert operations in Iran, sending U.S. commandos to spy on the country's nuclear facilities and undermine the Islamic republic's government.

Check out the full story here. There is a pretty interesting video of Hersh discussing what he says are the Bush administration's plans for Iran.

If Hersh is correct, it makes me want to just vomit! How in the hell are we going to allow GWB and Dick to lead us into another war before the end of their term? This is absolutely ridiculous and we have to stand up to our own government!

HIV Rate Up 12 Percent Among Young Gay Men

This is really a sad thing to see! I thought we were beating this stupid disease in the US anyway. According to this Washington Post news article, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has just published a study that shows that the number of young homosexual men being newly diagnosed with HIV infection is rising by 12 percent a year, with the steepest upward trend in young black men, according to a new report.
The most disturbing piece of the story . . .

The study found that homosexual men were the only risk group in which the number of new infections rose annually from 2001 through 2006. (Epidemiologists prefer the term "men who have sex with men," or MSM, because many of them do not identify themselves as homosexual or gay.) In contrast, injecting-drug users, homosexual men who injected drugs, and heterosexuals each showed declines in new infections over that period.
