I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

If I were Stitch, I'd have rolled myself into a little ball right now and knocked over half of our office.

I'm not Stitch, and I'm still considering this as a course of action.

Trust my rage

Can I just say how fucking upsetting it is for me to hear that our President is using his judgment on the fitness of other people's souls as a valid basis for international policy?

THis is exactly what I mean. It's so embarassing.

[Bush made the comment about looking into Putin's eyes and seeing his soul a few years ago. Since they are meeting again this morning, the news media has been replaying the tape as a set-up to today's event.

Besides the fact that Putin is a former KGB guy (hence my Jack Bristow comparison) and probably is fairly decent at hiding his soul from those who look into his eyes, it's such a goofy, high-school crush sort of thing to say.]

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

It's a valid course of action, but I fear the damage done to our soft human bodies. Much better to be an Experiment 626, and then perhaps we could fling VW Bugs at deserving asshat's houses/mansions/estates.

I thought I'd never heard anything so appalling, but subsequent years of the administration have knocked that one almost of out the running.

Although frankly, given the direction both of them have drifted in the years since that occurred, I'm inclined to lend it more credence than I did at the time. Kindred spirits indeed.

Yeah, it wasn't just the whackaloon element, it also made Bush and this country look so fucking naive.

Don't worry too much, we have people like Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, and Condelezza Rice to help advise him on international policy.

And just what the hell did Bush see when he looked into their souls?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

There will be no flinging of VW Bug....

I thought she was talking about clones, not the original.
