The Soul Question: Do you have it?

This question is directed at Killers lead singer Brandon Flowers.  The man clearly states "I [or I've, he doesn't state that clearly] got soul but I'm not a soldier" in All These Things I've Done.  He then proceeds to inform the listener that "I never had a lover, I never had soul" as well as disclaiming having had a good time, or getting cold/gold in Bones.  Well I say, pick a side.  We're at war.  War with terrorism.  And most of all, we're at war with ourselves.  And, following the logic of Stephen Colbert, you have to pick sides when you're at war.  
I guess my point is, if it turns out Flowers really didn't have soul, does that logically mean he was a soldier after all?  Or did I just BLOW YOUR MIND?!?

I actually don't have much to say today, so I'll let you know more about a website you have have stumbled upon if you've been following the links I squeeze in all over the place.  The site is Icanhascheezburger.com, and it features lol cats, an internet breed of the kitteh that generally speaks with poor syntax but manages to say amusing things.  These pictures have existed since 1905, and have expanded to include other animals.  There are associated memes, like walruses searching for buckets, which I may have referenced before.
The great thing about the site is combines humor with adorableness, giving insecure men and ironic girls an excuse to look at cute little kitties, as well as leading to some excellent genuine creative expression.  
Seriously, some of them are funny, and if you are aware of lol cats you'll be more hip to the younger crowd.  And some cats are too awesome not to want to impress.
