Re: the whole invading Iran nonsense. Is there any chance Congress could and would step up with an, "Oh, hell no!" on that? In as much as the whole Iraq thing is really bringing their polling numbers down and it's an election year and all.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've been wondering the same. But I've seen nothing from Congress that suggests they might do this.
Oh, and I think the plan is not to invade, "just" to bomb....

Ann, that's a ferret.
If you're starting point is 'we can explain the origin of the universe without the supernatural,' that's a bias.
In other words, the only non-biased way to explain the origin of the universe is to rely on the supernatural.
Hmmmm....
BOOM!
The sound you just heard was Fred's head exploding. There will be a slight delay while we clean up the resulting mess.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Because we're going to need a new generation of liberals to fight this sort of thing, that's why!
Yes. My wee liberal army is nearly ready.

From cnn.com: (this gets the "no duh" award - at least the first sentence)...
Presidential adviser Karl Rove blamed the war in Iraq on Monday for dragging down President Bush's job approval ratings in public opinion polls. "People like this president," Rove said. "They're just sour right now on the war."
