It’s very important that we not have “boots on the ground” in Libya. Fortunately, this is the 21st century. Drones are how the cool kids fight their wars.
There are a bunch of celebs in this. Two that might slip by are Amy Poehler and Mary Steenburgen in the restaurant. They are only visible for a couple of seconds.

@Just Some Fuckhead: They do like it when you kill mercenaries the government is using to kill them though. And why are remotely piloted aircraft worse than planes with the pilots in them? We’ve already attacked Libya with aircraft. This is just more of the same.
I grew up with skateboarding, snowboarding and with the music of Beastie Boys, one of the greatest hip hop (and punk) bands. One of their members Adam “MCA” Yauch (right dude on a picture above) is a Buddhist and here’s some lyrics from a song called Bodhisattva Vow (from an album Ill Communication [1994]):
As I Develop The Awakening Mind I Praise The Buddha As They Shine
I Bow Before You As I Travel My Path To Join Your Ranks,
I Make My Full Time Task
For The Sake Of All Beings I Seek

WASHINGTON — A provision in the new 9/11 health bill may be adding insult to injury for people who fell sick after their service in the aftermath of the 2001 Al Qaeda attacks, The Huffington Post has learned.
The tens of thousands of cops, firefighters, construction workers and others who survived the worst terrorist assault in U.S. history and risked their lives in its wake will soon be informed that their names must be run through the FBI’s terrorism watch list, according to a letter obtained by HuffPost.
… About a dozen prominent actors from Will Arnett, Steve Buscemi, Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson, Jack Black, Will Farrell and Orlando Bloom show up in the clip, with Elijah Wood, Jonah HIll and Danny McBride starring as the trio,
…
Tag along with the fellows as they crash into a bodega, get hit by cars, take drugs in a limo, piss-off restaurant patrons and face-off their later-life rivals: themselves (as Jack Black, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly).
@Kidhill: Will Ferrel, Jack Black, and John C. Reilly.
Here’s a list from MTV of the cameos.
The “Make Some Noise” video features a steady stream of star spottings, with a stream of cameos by some of our favorite TV and movie actors, including Will Arnett, Orlando Bloom, Steve Buscemi, David Cross, Ted Danson, Kirsten Dunst, Will Ferrell, Rashida Jones, Amy Poehler, Jason Schwartzman, Chloe Sevigny, Mary Steenburgen and Rainn Wilson. And yes, that’s Susan Sarandon. Dudes have the hottest cell phone contact list in the game right now.
Sounds shitty, maybe even shittier than Arianna Huffington always was and shall be.
I’ve done some work for the ACLU concerning that watchlist. It’s mutated into a gigantic rampaging monster and there’s very little that anyone is willing to do about it.
Did you know that there were 414 incidents of suspected al-Qaeda members tangling with Virginia law enforcement in 2009 alone? Or at least that’s what the watch list got people to report . . .

@AAA Bonds: Low hangin fruit or any port in a storm I guess.
A robust anti-interventionist Republican primary candidate? An influential anti-war Republican Congressional faction? Will Republicans be so disheartened by what Obama’s doing that they will stay home in 2012 rather than trying to vote him out? Or will his strong interventionism using robot planes and 500-pound bombs rally all those ready-made “Obama Republicans” behind him?
Only time will tell, I guess.
