Headlines

[quislibet]

Yeah, here I am posting again, and I said I wouldn't be doing that much in the near future, but I'm still at work, and waiting for my boss to get off the phone so I can ask him a question, so there you are.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that on the CNN Headlines RSS feed there was one that said, "Ashcroft: 2 Held on Terror Charges," and I read it at first as "Ashcroft Held on Terror Charges," and thought, woah.

That reminds me, though: this morning I read in that mighty rag the Boston Metro that Teddy Kennedy was accidentally put on the "do not fly" list, which took several weeks to clear up. You have to wonder if that was really accidental; I bet there are even liberal Bush-hating Democrats who, if given the power to do so, might put Kennedy on that list just to mess with him.

Anyway.

he should be on the "do not drive" list.

Yes, if the Administration truly cares about the safety of Americans, they will *encourage* Kennedy to fly everywhere.

maybe we can start a coalition
and encourage him to retire, instead.
although,
i have to say,
at the convention,
he actually didn't look like a complete souse.
i have to wonder
if he got some kind of cosmetic surgery
to clear up the gin blossoms.

I think he's very politically useful, still; as Elder Statesman With Probably No Scandals Left To Draw Out he can get away with saying things that perhaps need to be said, but that someone else couldn't with impunity.

I have no specific examples at hand.

probably true.
i disagree with his worldview significantly enough
that he isn't useful to -me-, though.

Fair enough.
