Bush just said the magic phrase

Can't we just hurry up and build a bunch of Hardees in Iran?

We can still have no-bid Hardees-building contracts and we'll wipe out the Iranians with gut-busting cholesterol withing 10 years.

Everyone wins.

 

Good advice then. Good advice now. Especially for those of us living within the blast radius of the really attractive targets.

I believe Burt the Turtle now works for KBR as a consultant.

 

Yes, but how does this affect our plans to defend ourselves when we are attacked by Mars?

 

I dunno, I think we need to worry about Venus first.

 

In that case, we just get Tom Jones to sing...

 

Look, I don't like Iran with a nuke either, but can't we have a guy in charge who can be a little more ... eloquent ... than what we have now when it comes to talking about these things?

I'm not so delusional that I expect Abraham Lincoln to rise from the grave and start doing the speeches, but someone — hell, anyone — who doesn't come off like a low-level pro wrestler would be nice.

 

And we still don't know what's to become of Joe Torre.

After the press conference this morning, Tim Russert said to Brian Williams (paraphrasing), 'I think the buzzword of the morning was 'World War Three...' and then he gave that little smirky grin.

 

I'm not sure, but I think that's a slap at pro wrestlers....

 

Bush was right when he said about his legacy: "We'll all be dead."

 

We're shipping Torre to Pakistan in exchange for Bhutto and an Interior Minister to be named later.

 

Serious consideration of this proposition by many marginal yahoos in '00 and '04 would have done the trick.

But, noooooooooooooooooooooo.
