cabbage or king?
Given our current situation, is there really all that much of a difference?
Pray tell me, my dear reader, just what side of the fuckin' glass are we on?
My head is spinning, I say spinning.
I mean really now, what's all this about a warning of disaster? Why that is almost omnipresent and certainly neither novel nor new. Just remember to wrap those covers around you tight when you go to sleep tonight because there is a monster in a turban hiding under your bed.
But this. . .
And yes, playing golf during a time of war does send the wrong signal.
Right here, right now, I call on you my fellow Americans, to demand that Tiger Woods be immediately arrested and sent to Guantanamo via one of those black sites they operate in some shadowy Eastern European nation. That is um, assuming they can take a moment to spare one of their drug-running planes.
Yeah, verily I call on you, but alas my dear reader, I fear I am already far too late. We may already be naught but oysters.

For the first time, Bush revealed a personal way in which he has tried to acknowledge the sacrifice of soldiers and their families.Ah, would that I were able to make such a noble sacrifice for our great nation in a time of war.
“I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”
Bush said he made that decision after the August 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, which killed Sergio Vieira de Mello, the top U.N. official in Iraq and the organization’s high commissioner for human rights.
“I remember when de Mello, who was at the U.N., got killed in Baghdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man's life,” he said. “I was playing golf — I think I was in central Texas — and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, ‘It's just not worth it anymore to do.’"
