It’s so damn exciting, I bet Nooner gets all wet just thinking about it.

“Leaving early, and with such modesty–it was a pleasure to be here, let us know if there’s anything we can do–tends to undermine charges of U.S. imperialism.”

I’m sure the troops feel it was a real pleasure to be over there, and the Iraqis feel that we’re being modest because we’ve nominally transferred sovereignity to our puppets.

“Here is my fear: that the American people, liking and respecting President Bush, and knowing he’s a straight shooter with guts, will still feel a great temptation to turn to the boring and disingenuous John Kerry…He’ll do things like go to France and talk French and they’ll love it. He’ll say he’s the man who accompanied Teresa Heinz to Paris, only this time he’ll say it in French and perfectly accented and they’ll all go “ooh la la!””

Yeah, George W. Bush is such a straight shooter – never mind his dishonesty about Iraq/Al Qaeda links, yellowcake, and WMDs that got the nation into this quagmire. And the thought of a president being “boring” and speaking “perfectly accented” French – we wouldn’t want anyone intelligent and prudent in the White House, now, would we?

Now, if Pat Tillman had been beheaded, she might have set a Guinness World Record for highest prescribed dosage of Ativan.

In short, some things travel faster than the speed of parody, and this is one of them.

Nice of her to ignore the ladies.

I’m pretty sure you’re going to go to hell for making me even think momentarily about the nooner’s nipples.

I’m going to have to disinfect my brain now.

I HAVE felt Peggy’s nipples, but before I got enough of a goose to give a full report, they crumbled to dust in my hands and blew away. C’est la vie.

Okay, between you guys and Antichrist Coulter talking about the Ann Coulter doll over at patriotboy’s (okay, I did start it) I’m never going to be able to eat lunch again. Tuna-fish sandwiches will naturally make me worry about dolphins, and there’s the trigger word, and they’ll be taking me away in a straight-jacket going eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I’m teaching a course on the history of the atomic bomb, and I’d wager that it’s very likely there actually was more public debate and discussion about the bomb’s use on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the press than there was about either Afghanistan or Iraq.
