It's been about one year since the Veep made his speech extolling the virtues of immediate, forced regime-change in Iraq. "Many of us are convinced that Saddam will acquire nuclear weapons fairly soon. Just how soon we cannot gauge," he told a Veterans of Foreign Wars audience on August 26, 2002.

About a year since Andrew Card explained new product launch techniques to the media.

One year. And it still feels there's an ad-hoc, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it attitude out of the White House. And now, hat in outstretched hand, we're back at the UN. With soldiers dying every day, we're certainly now in a great negotiating position with the French and Russians.

But I'm not placing any bets on seeing blue helmets in Iraq any time soon. Eating crow doesn't agree with Dear Leader's stomach.

Lordy, what is with these stupid people? "Dozens of protesters watched, furious and helpless, from behind the locked glass doors of the courthouse. Many have been camping on the courthouse steps, wearing their beliefs on their backs, with T-shirts reading 'Jesus is the Standard' and 'Satan is a Nerd.' Hmmm. I don't think the Onion could beat that.

Here's another choice quote:

"'This is just the beginning,' said the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition. 'We're going to call everybody we know and tell them to come to Montgomery to look inside that empty building and see what the future of America looks like.'"

Right. A future in which there is no state-sponsored religion, I hope.

I think crazy Chris Hitchens hits the nail on the head. I would also add, isn't this akin to worshiping a graven image? A distinct no-no according to the big block of stone. Geez, do these people follow the dietary restrictions of Leviticus?

Andrew Sullivan will be crushed. His hero is, after all, against gay marriage. Arnold sure takes some brave positions; I mean, who isn't for legalizing medical marijuana? Oh yeah, Ashcroft, who is a nerd, so I guess that protester's T-shirt, mentioned above, is true.

Since we're talking about the recall. There's something about Mary, who does, in fact, have a pretty detailed plan for getting California into the black. Her web cam idea is brilliant.
