Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s three-country, five-day Asia tour, which starts this week, appears to be a last-ditch attempts to salvage the legacy of the Bush administration.
Good luck with that. What makes you laugh?

say wha!…new intelligence could stymie the effort. Apparently, this intelligence comes from traces of uranium found on the pages of documents… that wasn’t uranium, it was Bosintang.
also, the onion’s election 08 coverage always amuses me, and l really like obama’s new symbology, esp the “vero possumus” inscription…tickled my funny bone, it did.
guess l’m easily amused.
Obama’s symbology:
many are late to noticing. The eagle was included with his O-sunrise logo from the start of the campaign
Lot’s of opposition-some say, ‘bad taste’. …slow news cycle, waiting for any something to print.
Cindy Oestriecher, a McCain supporter who turned out for his speech in New Orleans, is stumped when I ask her for an example of Obama’s lack of patriotism. “What was that thing about anti-American?” she asks a friend. “What were they referring to?”
“What thing?” asks the friend.
“People were talking about that thing, that anti-American thing,” Cindy says, frowning.
“You mean about the flag, the thing on the Internet?” the friend replies.
“Yeah, I guess,” says Cindy. “The anti-American thing.” “That bothers you?” I ask.
“Of course it does!”
“But you don’t even know what it is,” I say. “You just know that someone else said he was anti-American. You don’t even know who it was that said it!”
She shrugs.
The Smirking Chimp – Full Metal McCain
This conversation is so poignant and relevant; describes my impression of the average American perfectly — we know nothing and just want to react. We want to be angry and bitter towards something and someone, to be hateful and obstinate, just to be emotional and pretend that we know something about the world outside our personal bubbles of smallness.
Thanks for this. It sums up American Ignorance perfectly.
What makes me laugh is the 9 year old boran2 boy’s increasing ability for sarcasm. I wonder where he gets it.
Heh. I wonder…wherever could it have been?
Who the hell knows?
Can’t imagine.
This post (which has now seemingly been scrubbed from the website) regarding a “campaign to sue Al Gore” over Global Warming:
And here I thought Gallileo had finally won the argument. Ignorance springs eternal!
Reporters who don’t know the difference between cultivated marijuana and fiber varieties of hemp that escaped from cultivation 50 years ago (also known as feral hemp or ditchweed) and are willing to toe the party line in stories like this:
Growing wild
Correcting fallacies like this does pay the mortgage, keeps the lights on and food on the table, though.
well this makes me laugh due to its stupidity:

very funny!and he reads alot he says.
Who knew!
Seemed like an obvious PR ploy to help make Bush seem more Serious. But never read where anyone digested the numbers and realized that Bush simply didn’t have time to do all the reading he purported to do. Some did mention that he seemed to gain no wisdom from his reading.
Just searched to find the latest on that fabrication and found this great column that deconstructs the myth.
I look forward to the publication of Bush’s book. I especially wonder how Bush’s ghostwriter* will deal with the legacy of failures on Bush’s resume before he even entered the White House.
* You don’t expect Bush to write his own book, do you? His former speechwriter explained that Bush thinks of himself as a good speechwriter and “leaves his mark” by editing every speech. That explains why they are so awful.
Jed makes me laugh:
If you like it, Digg it here.
god, she creeps me out.
Yes. Yes she creeps me out too.
Compare and contrast with Michelle Obama. Who would you rather your daughters look up to?
Good for a chuckle – this parody (HT: The Daily Dish)
Women For John McCain>>McCain Recipes
six months will be to avoid pushing James Buchanan or Warren Harding up a rung on the presidential competency list.
Well, Twisty talks—often—about yeshua being the “ghost of a dead Nazerene on a stick”. (I know, I know, radical, feminist, lesbian commentary—who could know I couldn’t handle it?)
It was funny to me at first. But, upon repetition, it only made me angry…and sad…and overly fond of the ellipsis.
Yes, okay, you can worship me now…NOT!
I’m so glad that The Truman Show is just a movie.
Get Smart made me laugh. Charming comedy re the intelligence community. 😉
