President Bush reportedly told Condoleezza Rice that the U.S. should have blown up the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. (The civilian casualties might have defeated the point.)

The Hillary/Obama standoff has become a racial controversy -- and one Clinton aide dismisses Obama as voters' "imaginary hip black friend." (Holy shit!)

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals opposes feeding meat to a man convicted of cannibalism. (This was almost a post on our Pickled food blog, but we couldn't find a good recipe for Human Florentine.) 

 O.J. Simpson's bail is revoked. Just another slice of life for the retired football player.

bombing Auschwitz

"President Bush reportedly told Condoleezza Rice that the U.S. should have blown up the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. (The civilian casualties might have defeated the point.)"

The concept was to destroy the railroads, although even putting the ovens out of commission would have been better. 

Former Senator George McGovern was a B-24 pilot during the war who flew over Auschwitz: 

"According to McGovern, the Franklin Roosevelt administration made a “strategic mistake” when it chose not to order bombing raids on the camp’s gas chambers. “There is no question we should have attempted” to “go after Auschwitz.

There was a pretty good chance we could have blasted those rail lines off the face of the earth, which would have interrupted the flow of people to those death chambers, and we had a pretty good chance of knocking out those gas ovens,” he said." http://judaism.about.com/od/holocaust/a/aush_nobomb.htm
