"Ever Get the Feeling You've Been Cheated?"

These are apparently the last words that Johnny Rotten spat out on stage, at the Sex Pistols last gig in 1978. And they appear to be the last online words of the US soldier who has been blogging at "My War - Fear & Loathing In Iraq".

The soldier - who gained rapid online fame for his vivid descriptions of violent adventures in Iraq - has deleted all previous posts and changed the name of his blog to "Over And Out".

The blog came to his superior's attention a short while ago, at which time he posted the text of the First Amendment (re freedom of speech) under the title "Stay Tuned..."

Wonder if he will still be voting for Bush, as he previously indicated?

(Also, I can't help wondering if a small comment of mine helped sway his thinking? I posted a quote from George Orwell in his comments section: a few days later he said he was reading "Homage To Catalonia". Now this... The butterfly effect in action?)
