Not much to report. Paul shocked me silly by insisting that he had heard Rumsfeld had resigned. What ? and Wonkette slept through it? Don’t think so. So I googled it and all I could find was satire sites, all dreamily spoofing that he had resigned subsequent to watching Liar Liar with his grandson.
I had to tell him it was Powell who had resigned. Why couldn’t Condi have gone to be the Football Commish. That would have rocked!
I hear Kim Jong Il, in direct response to Team America, has started taking his pictures down in Korea and is no longer insisting on being referred to as the Dear Leader. Glad to hear that being savagely parodied by guys who went to school in Colorado, around the corner from Columbine, as it were, had such a salutory effect on him.
Just think about it, she said dreamily. Some people respond to life’s terrors by writing skits. Some blow things up real good. All depends on where you get your ammo, I suppose.
Hear that Russia is doing the arms build up thing. Had to rub my eyes twice when I saw that. You have to admit that the Russian mafia are definitely opportunists. Everybody knows the Russian mafia are running the country. They say they want mobile warheads, and they will get them. And drive them into downtown Essen and say Kindly Cough Up a Large Sum of Cash and we won’t nuke your town. No hard feelings about the Eastern Front though, this is strictly business. And Kursk? A tragedy, but now we want some money. Screw the terrorists… they want piddly things like uh, what you say, self-determination, to have the foot of the oppressor removed from their necks. Why not shoot to the top of the global food chain? If you have a nuke, who is going to put anything on your neck but flowers? Worked for the Americans in Iraq jim dandy.
I wonder if any of my farm relatives on the prairies will take me in when the balloon goes up. Better start getting in shape now. Farm work is hard work.
