Things You Can't Make Up
This headline popped up on my Google Reader today:
Disneyland-Style Theme Park Set for Baghdad. Honest to GodWhile we are all having fun deciding who should be the nominee of the Democratic Party, some enterprising fool just danced into the middle of our little circus and provided us with an opportunity to mock someone other than Democrats who don't agree with us. Take a break from the intramural bickering and embrace this opportunity to mock the dumbest bastard on the planet. What? You don't believe me? You think I made up the headline?
The stoopid! ... it burns!

[Llewellyn] Werner, chairman of C3, a Los Angeles-based holding company for private equity firms, is pouring millions of dollars into developing the Baghdad Zoo and Entertainment Experience, a massive American-style amusement park that will feature a skateboard park, rides, a concert theatre and a museum. It is being designed by the firm that developed Disneyland. "The people need this kind of positive influence. It’s going to have a huge psychological impact," Mr Werner said.The 50-acre (20 hectare) swath of land sits adjacent to the Green Zone and encompasses Baghdad's existing zoo, which was looted, left without power and abandoned after the American-led invasion in 2003...Success seems improbable at best. Resentment is sure to be created. How about some of the naivete and over-confidence that got us into so much trouble with this war in the first place?
