I can’t remember right now, and my connection’s doing its impression of Stevie from _Malcom in the Middle_ whenever I try to hit [cnn.com](http://cnn.com)) I think it’s Homeland Defense. But whatever it is. . .:rolleyes: I think they need a little more zing in the title \. ---

Actually, what bothers me is that “the Earth’s Last Great Hope” is implementing “Operation Infinite Justice” to “fight all evildoers.” Will someone please tell Bush that the Cap’n Cruch ring won’t really let him project green forcefields? The prank was funny at first, but now it’s really getting out of hand. And while we’re at it, what if something even worse happens to America in the future? Are we going to have “Operation Double Infinite Justice”? “Operation Aleph-1 Justice”? But I suppose nothing bad will ever happen to America ever again, once Bush locks up all the evildoers in Arkham Asylum (until Bin Laden busts them out, of course.) But if only half escape, Bush can hunt the escapees down by organizing the remainder into a Suicide Squad… -Ben ---

The Muslims probably wouldn’t like that, either…“Into the Valley of Death” sounds too much like Psalms 23:5. ---

When I first heard the code name I had the following vision: George W. flying into the air and shouting, “I strike with Infinite Justice technique!!!” White bolts start falling from the sky, but bin Ladin keeps dodging them. “Resplendant defense of the faithful! I strike back with a million asp bites!” Long shadowy streams rush at the president, each one turning into an asp. He stands his ground holds out his hands and then raises his arms like wings, “Noble Eagle Defense!” a golden eagle appears around him, the asps can not slip by it. and so on. I really shouldn’t watch anime on my computer while watching CNN while I have a fever. ---

They’re obviously using the Action Movie Name Generator to name their military ops. Column A: Infinite Double Noble Maximum Deadly etc. Column B: Eagle Justice Force Impact Thunder etc. Just take a word from Column A, add a word from Column B, call up either Charles Bronson, Steven Segal, or Jean-Claude Van Damme, and voila!
