"There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

If it weren't so dangerously sad, the media gyrations to deflect attention from the sordid mess defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld has made in Iraq would be amusing.

3. this whole "decider" meme
only makes me think of the gazillion times that * has said "I don't pay attention to polls." Which then reminds me of an incident from July of '01 when * said to a critical journalist, "I don't care what you think."

Well with our voting accountability out the window, why should he?
