word of the day
ok, for this to be a true ‘WOTD’ entry i would’ve had to have included at least one word sometime in the history of this almost-blog. maybe i’ll start with regular blog entries and work my way up to vocab.
but, be that as it may, i have a word for you, inspired by the reagan/bush/clinton/bush [...]
quote of the century
130,000 troops mired down in an uncivil war just isn’t enough, let’s make it 150,000… no wonder the President looks so happy. Happy enough to tell the TRUTH, if only for a moment.
All hail our dear leader, george “money trumps peace” bush.
catch this: “optimism is the only option”
he’s sweating in mississippi (that’s a therapeutic word to type… try it), there’s what sounds like between 10-50 people there to see THE PRESIDENT, and he’s giving ‘the big one’ (his big Katrina speech in NOLA) a test drive. here’s hoping that “optimism is the only option” is not the new banner under which we’re [...]

how many new days does it take?
the President today praised the formation of the new Iraqi Unity Government (although two key posts, the ministries of Defense & Interior, are yet to be filled), with the following inspirational phrase:
“The formation of a unity government in Iraq is a new day for the millions of Iraqis who want to live in freedom.”
that’s great, [...]
opposite day
the segway scooter was meant to have been the ‘next big thing’, with Steve Jobs predicting that cities would be re-engineered to acommodate them. then george w. got ahold of one, and in a brilliantly scripted piece of petro-lobby PR, fell off of it faster than you could say “who exactly voted for this guy?” [...]
bush reveals ‘exit strategy’
they say that politics stops at the water’s edge, but as successive generations of bushes in Asia have proven, some other things don’t.
the ‘big deal’ here is not to say “ooh, look - the president tried to open a locked door! har-dee har har…” the ‘big deal’ is how he dealt with it, which seems [...]
