		<description>&lt;p&gt;Did anyone else see The Daily Show last night?  Rummy believes, I kid you not, that because you can “fly over” most of Iraq and see that the entire country isn’t on fire, that we are really making progress over there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here’s his actual words:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I mean, if you just watched what’s happening every time there’s a bomb going off in Baghdad, you’d think the whole country’s aflame. But you fly over it, and that’s just simply not the case. There are people out in the fields working, and there’s cars in the gas lines waiting to get fuel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here’s the source:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/08/AR2006120800850.html&quot;&gt;http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....00850.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;If we offer Putsch (thanks, Zepp) a Medal of Freedom, would that get him to go home to Crawford?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just a thought.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“girly mancrushes”? For pete’s sake I am tired of living like it’s the playground and second grade. There is nothing bad or weak about anything “girly.” There is nothing weak or bad about guys admiring or even lusting after another guy. Lots of things to say about fawning, glossy, shallow media coverage of a brutal dictator. Trying to smear them as effeminate queers is your best choice? Please.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I believe that the point of this *satirical* remark is that the WaPo’s otherwise unexplicable admiration for Pinochet is rooted in unacknowledged sexual attraction, which the WaPo author would presumably regard as a “girly mancrush” if observed in another.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Nobody likes you Dubya is right.  I doubt even Barney does.  And Pickles…well, isn’t she staying at some hotel right now?  And no, I NEVER wanted to drink a beer with Dubya.  And no, he will NOT listen to anybody.  Remember, he only talks to “his other father.”  Wonder if Jeebus talks back?  When you hear voices NOBODY else does, isn’t that schizophrenia?  Just asking…&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Being a non-economist and all, I’ve really enjoyed bonddad’s diaries at kos.  Sounds like he’s got a good plan for something dynanic by organizing other contributors for topics including labor.  Sounds familiar ;)  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fortunately it didn’t take bonddad for me to hate debt - my home mortgage is it, and I bought a place that, in pre-bubble parlance, was ‘less expensive than I could afford’ which means it was just right.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
