Spent part of the day listening to radio reactions to the President’s speech. A few salient remarks:
Saddam was a secularist!
Saddam had nothing whatsoever to do with 9/11
Prescott Bush’s Secret Nazi Past and the internationalist agenda “New World Order.”
Fletcher Prouty and Winston Churchill’s installation by a “cabal” as exemplified by the Military Industrial Complex
The war is wrong and illegal and it’s all about oil and we should have attacked Saudi Arabia
Saddam would not have been a threat to the US if allowed him to remain in power
We went into Iraq for no reason
We’re creating terrorists out of people who otherwise be utterly peaceful and friendly
Afghanistan is producing heroin
The entire history of the US and Iraq in the 90s, including the Clinton-era attacks, the no-fly zone violations, and the adoption of regime change as official US policy is not only irrelevant but it’s very annoying to bring up
No weapons of mass destruction, therefore it was all a lie
It’s all very interesting, how events unfold, and while we may yet face true disaster, there is hope to be taken from the election, the building of a coalition government and an independent judiciary — to say nothing of progress in Lebanon and Libya. Provided ol’ Mo isn’t still playing a triple game, which is likely. But let me make the case why a different strategy might have neutralized Saddam, without putting unnecessary stress on our military resources. Just kidding! Bush lied and besides we supported Saddam in the 80s.

James was evidently listening to Medved, too.
Lilacs? Aren't they plants?
Yes. Very bushy plants. The nicest smelling bush I have ever known.
How does that saying go ... "Bush by any other name would smell as sweet."
What's a hymnal? Is that the books with songs that they used to have in churches, before the big projection screens? Is it true these "hymnals" actually showed the musical notes? Wow, what a concept -- people could actually sing songs without already knowing them. And I bet they didn't have to repeat all the songs 3 times, either!

Amen, brother!
You forgot one--each hymnal had a unique melody and words.
The 7-11 songs = 7 words repeated 11 times.
