While we were watching our stock market go into the tank last week, World War III broke out.
It's nice to know that our fearless leader always seems to have the answer for everything...
Bush and Blair were caught on a microphone in a moment they thought private this morning over lunch in St. Petersberg - here's the whole transcript of the conversation. The British press is having a field day with this - the cursing Christian - and as usual it's missing the point.
Much more interesting than Bush's choice of words or his choice to speak with his mouth full is the fact that the President won't commit to sending anyone to the region unless there is a possibility for a successful resolution.
Hopefully, for everyone's sake, Tony Blair can convince Assad and his douchepump buddies to "stop doing this shit" before things get really ugly, because our government won't even try unless the Boy King can look like a hero.
"or his choice to speak with his mouth full"
That just be his chewin t'backy, I reckon.

I saw this live at about 6am this morning on CNN. What got me was that the reporter giving the story re-iterated word-for-word what the President said and he also swore live on TV to the studio and the home viewing audience. That pushed it over the edge for me. Quite a weird way to start a week.
And does it strike anyone as complete weird that something like a regional (and possibly world) crisis is kind of nonchalantly disputed over lunch? It is amazing the type of power those people weild. Ungodly. Just an everyday occurance as you or me buying socks. Juxtaposition at it's finest, really.

Well said, Cosmo.
And does that British reporter say, "S-H-Y-T"?
What the fuck? Spell check, Guv'nuh!
