- Republicans are looking to rid themselves of Senator Larry Craig. (Is it because he was arrested, or because he may be a closeted gay man?)
- Bush is a polarizing president, even more than Ronald Reagan, mainly because “Bush has from the beginning governed as if he had a broad conservative mandate.” While Bush has support from up to 70 percent of deluded republicans, only ten percent of rational democrats support the president.
- The GAO says that the surge isn’t working. The investigative arm of Congress’s report “contradicts the Bush administration’s conclusion in July that sectarian violence was decreasing as a result of the U.S. military’s stepped-up operations in Baghdad.” Wait until September. Things will be better in September, the second week of September, on or around the eleventh of September.
- And Apple may be teaming up with Volkswagen to produce the ‘iCar.’ And then Pixar will have a sequel to make, “iCars.” (I realize that that’s a really bad joke. It’s a good thing I test these out here before I partake in open-mic night at the Punch Line.)

The “September” mantra of this administration reminds me of Lewis Carroll’s famous statement, “Jam tomorrow and jam yesterday, but no jam today.” Bush’s spokespeople are already playing down the GAO report, arguing that the way the GAO measures the goals is an “all-or-nothing” manner under which anyone would fail. It should be clear to even the most casual observer that Bush deemed the “Surge” a success from Day One, and is going to continue with it, no matter how many of the Armed Services will be killed.

But “surge” has such a nice ring to it.
