Noteworthy News of My Afternoon

Kirk Johnson, in today's New York Times:

The triumvirate that threatened $25-a-day fines for the hanging of a peace-sign wreath resigned. Two disconnected their phones. The decision of the board of a homeowner's association in Denver left many baffled, apparently including some of the board members. The board originally said the threat was made because the wreath was seen as politically divisive, but: "A board member later told a newspaper that he thought the familiar circle with angled lines was also, perhaps, a sign of the devil." Okay, maybe this isn't that important. But it is hilarious.


Bush on meeting with Maliki:

“My questions to him will be: ‘What do we need to do to succeed? What is your strategy in dealing with the sectarian violence?’ ”

I wonder if Maliki will respond with a statement that includes the phrase "stay the course." Why should Maliki have to answer this question, if the Bush administration never has to? Mr. Bush still won't characterize the situation in Iraq as a civil war.

Don't forget the Demos' "lack" of a plan for dealing with the "*****war" in Iraq. Who cares if they're still in the legislative minority and will remain so until January? Bush has only had four or so years to come up with a plan. He can't be expected to come up with a plan just like that. Can he?
As the peace symbol, I think it was placed there by commie symps operating out of that hell hole the GOPers call San Francisco. Hah, hah. The Democrats still think Frisco is actually part of the United States.
