Just when you think you've heard it all, you find out you haven't. Only this morning, I heard the most amazing thing. The president was talking to the news media about "remanents of terrism," and he opined that one of the major causes of the bad economy was, well...them. Using themes like "The Road to War" got the country so worked up, he said, that the weak economy became worse. This was, of course, after the administration had spent months declaring we were waging a war on terror and making it clear that we were going to invade Iraq.

He also said that Amurikans are too accustomed to finding things out really fast, and we have to change that expectation when it comes to uncovering weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Well, maybe, but that certainly wasn't what he said when the U.N. weapons inspectors were looking for them.
