Item: End '15-year jihad' against Mulroney: spokesman

This has been like a 15-year jihad against Mulroney and his family by his enemies — led by Mr. Schreiber, enabled by some people in the media,” Robin Sears told CBC News shortly before a press conference in which he and lawyer Guy Pratte explained why Mr. Mulroney has refused to reappear before the committee.

Question: Is this just an overreaction? Or has "jihad" become that much of a colloquialism?

You may have seen this already. I didn't think too much of it, but then I kept coming upon the link and some of these are actually pretty funny: garfield minus garfield:

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.

I'm not sure if it's funny because you know there's a talking cat missing, but I'll let you work that out for yourself.

Hey Tony - are you still looking for a host for your bleeding ears party, or whatever it's called? (by the way, why '99?). I'm not so sure about the wisdom of having it at my townhouse, but my dad is going to Italy for 10 days mid-March and I'm sure we could use his house.

Just a thought.

I like the sound of the bleeding ears party fest. It has a kind of simple elegance that contradicts itself every step of the way. or something....

Now the party name is long enough to be a acronym:

OPBEPF99!

or

Op-Pro-Ble-Ear-Pa-Fest 99!

Still not as cool as Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con :(

Wanna know a weird feeling? Going to a website you VISIT on a daily basis and seeing the name of the game you've been MAKING on a daily basis.

Yeah. I had to do a double take when I saw my project in the links on engadget today. I was definitely NOT expecting that.

The novelty of making a game for nintendo didn't really last long, and to be honest the entire process was rather lackluster. It's a GREAT job, but at the end of the day a job is a job is a job. However, seeing the results of your labour getting widespread international media attention is another matter entirely.

Today I had the pleasure of reading that I "(draw like) a three year-old hyped up on sugar with unlimited supplies of Crayola".

ahahaha

Under any other circumstances I would be offended, but in this case that's EXACTLY what I was going for with my art direction. hahaha Too awesome.

NNNOOOO, you're doing it wrong! If you're going to make it a 99 (and it better be DAMN good if you're designating it worthy of the 99) then it HAS to be FEST.

OPERATION PROJECT BLEEDING EARS FEST 99

or if you really wanted to keep the party thing, do it as such (though I think it's getting unwieldy at this point):

OPERATION PROJECT BLEEDING EARS PARTY FEST 99

There.
