My favorite headline of the day

Well my schedule has gone totally to hell, but I cant let the day pass without my noting a few things:

1. John Kerry says " I was Wrong".

Summary: John "Moebius" Kerry explains that the only way for the US to be successful in the war on terror is to increase our standing with other nations, and the best way to to that is to abandon our allies in the middle east as a token of our seriousness.

A speech from John Kerry tends to make about as much sense as a wiring diagram for a Chinese Stereo.

2. Telling the FBI the truth saved Karl Rove

Gee, who would have guessed that? I guess thats big news in Washington, but out here in the sticks its pretty much SOP. Of course the unspoken subtext in this story isnt what Karl Rove did or didnt do to avoid prosecution, its that no matter what he did, there wasnt anything actionable.


3. Deficit? What Deficit?

Obviously this is because the NSA is monitoring our bank accounts.

4. And whats my favorite headline of today?

Thats easy - Daryl Hanna Removed From Tree.

Wow, usually wacked out Hollywood actresses dont become ripe for picking until October.

To be fair, the graph is somewhat misleading because it seems to show that $300 billion deficit being a "zero line." That would get some folks thinking, "Hey! If we make it to a $300 billion deficit, all will be well!" Personally, I'd like it better if they extended it all the way up to zero deficit just to get the true picture.

However, it's heading in the right direction, and that's very good news.

Thanks for the link to the Kerry statement. I learned that he was in Vietnam. I think that was the only fact that was indisputable.

Nice collection, but I would have preferred "Tree Removed from Daryl Hannah."

> John "Moebius" Kerry explains...

Actually, I think Kerry, with his head up his ass, is more of a natural example of a Klein Bottle.

Same concept, just fully three dimensional -- he still has one side and one edge, despite the appearance of having two sides.
