Gee, I can't imagine why...

...Iran wouldn't be crazy thrilled to have Libby Dole (the most junior member of the Senate possible) and an "as yet unnamed member of the Bush family" come visit them after the earthquake

...Mr Bush - who took 6 chefs with him on our tax dollar to London when he visited in November, seriously pissing off the Queen - needed to go shoot quail before he announced to the American people that they needed to keep eating beef; I'm positive it has nothing to do with the fact that extremely wealthy cattlemen give him huge sums of money and that he pretends to be one, or the fact that the beef he eats is not from the same consumer chains we peons eat from (but I'm also not sure how we'd tell if he began to display symptoms of a brain wasting disease since he uses his brain so rarely)

... The New York Times gave David Brooks - who I sorta/kinda/almost liked appearing with Mark Shields on Fridays during the Lehrer News Hour - an OpEd column; he's not very good in print

... God hasn't smited Pat Robertson

... I'm so surprised that the world is so insane right now (with America leading the pack of lunatics)
