“Look, Iraq Iran is dangerous”

George Bush, Idiot-In-Chief

Bush isn’t even the boy who cried wolf, because unlike the children’s story it turns out there’s no wolf.

Bush said the new conclusion — contradicting earlier U.S. assessments — would not prompt him to take off the table the possibility of pre-emptive military action against Iran.

“Look, Iran was dangerous, Iran is dangerous and Iran will be dangerous if they have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.”

Bush was wrong about stem cells, tax cuts for the rich, Iraq, Terry Schiavo, and Social Security. So I’m sure as heck not going to start thinking he’s got it right this time.

New York Seating

When I was in New York recently, at The Times Center to see Stephen Colbert, I realized that the auditorium, which seats 370, is the size I’ve always imagined the stage to be when The Beatles played on The Ed Sullivan Show. The Ed Sullivan Theater, now home to The Late Show with David Letterman (now in re-runs during the writers’ strike), supposedly holds 400, but every time I see a view of it the place looks a lot smaller than that, as seen in this picture.

There’s something else I’d like to point out about this photo, but I won’t say yet what that is. When the time comes I will tell you.

Doggone Biographers

If you haven’t read Monte Schulz’s comment on Mr. Media‘s audio interview with David Michaelis, and how the book came to be written, click here. This Peanuts cartoon seems somewhat apropos. Note that the word balloon in the first panel is not touching the top border. I’m sure you must know why!

Cartoonist and Charles Schulz admirer Jimmy Johnson seems to have started his commentary on the Michaelis biography of Schulz. I’ve figured out how to link directly to Jimmy’s posts, so click here for the first one, and here for his second. At the moment it appears Jimmy has a missing image at that link. In reference to his former wife Rheta’s authorized biography of Sparky Schulz, Jimmy says, “As I indicated in an earlier post, I was not just a bystander to all this.” I’m looking forward to what he has to say.
