It's like putting the agency formerly known as the INS in charge of fighting off a Martian invasion.

Or, almost like putting a failed Presidential candidate in charge of "climatology"?

Huzzah!

This was hilarious:

"Liftoff would have lasted three months as the General Assembly debated a resolution to include the phrase 'Zionism is racism' between "5'' and "4'' on the final countdown."

Feel safer? It's like putting the agency formerly known as the INS in charge of fighting off a Martian invasion. They'd wear the first wave down with paperwork, but then it would be death-ray city.

They can't handle the aliens they got already.

The world may dream of an America unable to stir itself because it's so very, very sorry about Abu Ghraib, but let a tyrant rise in the backyard and people wonder what the devil is keeping the Yanks.

God bless Lileks. I've found a new tagline.

Good writing makes everyone want to do it.
