US Won’t Get Into Civil War, But Will Sort of Hang Out in the General Vicinity

White House Issues New Port Security Guidelines
“Every friendship requires vulnerability,” Mr. McClellan said. “We demonstrate our love for our friends in the United Arab Emirates by trusting them, without regard to previous wrongs.”

…and Jon Stewart on Larry King Live–cuz he’s da bomb

Jon joined Larry King last night and talked about the administration and Democrats in depth. Larry asks him if he’d like things to be bad, kinda like O’Reilly saying that left wing websites want the US to fail because Bush is in charge.
Video-WMP low res Video-QT
(transcript)

KING: You don’t want Medicare to fail?

STEWART: Are you insane?

KING: No.

STEWART: You’re literally asking me if I would prefer — yes, Larry, what I’m saying to you as a comedian I want old people to suffer, old and poor people to suffer. That is — that is — what we want is — what seems absurd to me is the length that Washington just seems out of touch with the desires of Americans to be spoken to as though they are adults.

I mean when you listen to Bush’s speeches, and I’m leaving the Democrats out because I honestly don’t feel that they make an impact. They have 49 percent of the vote and three percent of the power. At a certain point you go “Guys, pick up your game.”

But Bush, you know the other day when he had the speech about us being addicted to oil, he says those things as though, you know, he just thought of it and we’re disagreeing with him, like everybody’s been saying that. Jimmy Carter said it I think in 1978.

And he comes out, “What people don’t realize is we’re addicted to foreign oil” and he’s saying it like you’re going “Get out of here.” We’re addicted. You don’t get it people. You know he was the guy on the stump a few years ago making fun of hybrid cars because it wasn’t manly. And — and his vice president did shoot a 78-year-old man in the face. Aaron Burr was the last vice president to shoot a guy in the face, Alexander Hamilton.

KING: And that was a duel.

STEWART: That was a duel based on personal integrity. This vice president thought a 78-year-old man was a bird. It happens. What are you going to do?

KING: We’ve declined as a society right?

STEWART: I cannot tell you how many times I’ll turn around and go, “Grandpa,” oh no it’s a pigeon.

Those little feet pitter-pattering about rule our lives lately. But on the occasional free moment I get to tap out scatterbrained bursts of consciousness about raising toddlers in Cambodia, traveling with them and working abroad. These posts are my personal updates to friends and family. But since you’re here, have a look around. Thanks for stopping by…
