A Quick Monday Survey

Been doing your federal income tax return? Or looking forward to the prospect? Check this out. At least you'll know you've been supporting fresh air, fun, and physical fitness in Mesopotamia.

And, in other news from the land of milk, honey, and U.S.-provided Freedom 'n' Democracy, why is it that the new Iraqi police hate freedom so much? Don't they know they're just providing aid and comfort to the enemy with this kind of talk? Don't they know there's a war on? Why don't they concentrate on reporting the number of schools newly painted? So many questions; so few answers.

Paul Craig Roberts notes that things are going ill for Global Emperor El Supremo Jorge Bush the Younger. And well does he deserve it. It's just a pity that such glorious leaders of folk are so generous about sharing their fortune with large fractions of the world. Not that we don't deserve it, of course ... Chimpy would hardly be where and what he is today without lots and lots of help. In the words of Joseph "Culture" Hill: "Where the tree falls / There shall it lie until judgement takes its course."

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Truman had terrible poll numbers when he left office and is now very respected. When GWB thinks about his place in the history books (and you'd better believe he does) I think he takes these polls with a mountain of salt and sees himself as the next Truman.

Yeah, but Truman dropped two atomic bombs.

Shhhhhhhh! The Wee Emperor still has a couple of years in which to surpass Truman. Let's not give him ideas. Well, OK, it's true that Dubya and "ideas" will forever be strangers. But let's not encourage him to do any monkey-see, monkey-do with things that make a really big boom.
