Who could have possibly foreseen 150,000 troops in Iraq at the end of the Bush Presidency, nearly six years after they were committed? Once again, voters, my sincerest thanks.

As for McCain, when you're this close to the finishing line of life, 2 years might as well be 100 years might as well be a billion.

I guess you need to be 100 years old, like McCain's Balls, to understand the perspective.

1,000,000 years! the man's got ambition.

Many home buyers must be bordering on terminally stupid. Otherwise why do they ignore the problems of living next to the airport, student housing, a rendering plant, a landfill dump, a pig farm or an oil refinery. Instead, they'd buy it and then whine endlessly to anyone within earshot about said airport, student housing, rendering plant, landfill dump, pig farm and/or oil refinery as if it suddenly appeared next to them. Didn't they wonder why the place was so fucking cheap?

Congratulations Mr and Mrs US American Dumbass, welcome to your own personal Alamo.

So, after Katrina everyone went to Texas. After the housing crash, should we expect a whole new generation of Wyom-ans whose parents were tech executives in Palo Alto?

ghost towns full of resentful bums...

Sounds like America is turning into Iraq?

How do any of these stories impact obesity in Mexico? That's what I want to know.

And no more questions about EastIrania, or you guys will be doubleplus-notmyfriends.

How about we stay in Iraq until we're *mostly* dead.

"Another senior U.S. diplomat offered positive indicators yesterday, saying that Iraqis are "spending increasingly more money than we are" on reconstruction and some military programs."

Well, of course. We keep blowing all their shit up.

Just make Iraq the 53rd state and then we have them forever.

@TGY: Or we can stay until we are mostly broke.

@Mo MoDo: You mean after Mexico and Canda?

@Serolf Divad:

And Great Britain. Aren't they in the same category as Puerto Rico now? Independent of the US sorta kinda maybe?

@Serolf Divad:Canda is a great country. We have many Panada bears.

@Mo MoDo: When do they hold their Democratic primary? Would Barry's middle name be a positive or a negative there?

Being president is not worth having to visit Indiana.

@broken.yellow.fangs: We ARE broke. Didn't you hear?

CNN LATE BREAKING NEWS:

They re-re-released "Bob" from the "Institute" late last night...it appears "once again" he has arisen from the dead...and is a "little" more than "PISSSED!!!"

Word on cyber/street is that he said, "I'm kinda mad at you Wobbles"...and also the following comments/expletives:

"Cheney you stupid-fuk-of-a-liar!...You have just 3
days to tender your f'n-resignation!!!

"Negroponte you dumb-fuk-of-an-ass-assin-hole!...get the f-outta Washing-town while you still have balls left to "can"...don't bother packing the "Sampsonite" or any other "pea-shooter!!!"

Rhumsie - "You Supreme F'n Moron"...how did we ever come to trust a man who wears pants "or" suspenders!!!"

Watch PBS tonight for a significant part of the story.

Any plan to employ/deploy US/Sunni/Awakening(?) Militias to secure Basra oil resources and facilities...or/and "BombBombBomb-BombBombIran could inextricably lead to:

A Nam-like 10X4000+ US soldiers dead.

Countless collateral/damage and refugees.

A conservatively-estimated $3-10 trillion over 10 to 15 years...plunging America from a "manageable" recession into an endless economic and moral "Depression."

A war that could easily escalate into something "Absolutely Unthinkable...and Unforgivable."

And these aren't "Wall-eyed-Woody-Allen-ed-Greensian estimations or theories!"

@kudzu: I dunno. Perhaps we should ask the Chinese? We could arrange a loan to pay for 100 years in Iraq if they would only mortgage Tibet or rent it out as a giant theme park. With a Dalai Llama petting zoo or something.

@Mo MoDo: Well, at least Mississippi would have a state lower on the rankings.

On a much lighter note:

I recently purchased Condi Rice's frumpy#old#purple#matted#head-librarian's sweater for just $5.00 on re-Bay...But I also discovered "Gold!" when I put my hand in the right-hand-pocket...one faded-yellow, angrily-crumpled scrap of dimestore "coinology"...Addressed to 3rd-grader Jimmy Patterson's mother in a shakily-written and voiced plea-bargain...which read: "Dear Mrs. Patterson; I have politely asked Jimmy to return the 3-overdue "Hardy Boy Books" that he took out over 3-weeks from this coming Wednesday...and he simply refuses to do so...and if he does not return them by this Friday...I will tear-up his G-damned library-card!..."DO I MAKE MYSELF PERFECTLY-CLEAR!!!"...signed...Sincerely, Connie Rice/Head-Lie-Briarian!!!

...perhaps a tad over-the-top...certainly not an open-manifesto..."true story, or not?"...

McCain told some folks at a Palm Springs fundraiser yesterday that the American people trust Gen. Petraeus.

Yeah, no offense to the dude. I'm sure his troops and family trust him, but I sincerely doubt that the rest of us think of him as Walter Cronkite.

McCain is clearly a lich. He has the long foresight, the looks and the evilness.
