And yes, via Atrios, Tom Tomorrow has magical powers of predicting the obvious.

Another literary reference. If the end comes as a surprise twist then you slept through more high school English classes than I did.

Around the same time, I was lampooning the administration for not going after North Korea, and I had a poll up about who would be next… Syria was #1, North Korea was #2, and Iran was way down the list. However, I might have skewed the poll a bit somehow. In any case, mad props to Tom Tomorrow! I might have to get his book now…

Well, you knew it was coming. The stupidity of the PNAC boys knows no bounds. How long before the neotards start saying no problem, our troops will be dodging flowers and candies on the cakewalk march to Tehran. Iranian oil will pay for any insignificant reconstruction and security costs. The only reason that didn’t happen in Iraq was because of the hate-America MSM not printing enough happy news. Anybody who disagrees are just gay flag burners.
Couple the earthly neotards with the heavenly Rapture nutcases in the Republican tent who can’t wait for everything to be way beyond FUBAR’d in the ME, and you can see this may already be a done deal.
Maybe General Boynkin at the Pentagon has already seen Satan hovering over Iran. We need clear heads like his to continue to be in charge of intelligence gathering for the GSAVE. He and many others just know God has chosen W for greatness. Hell, he might even be the messiah.

Why don’t the clowns on the Sunday gasfests just ask Kristol and his ilk, straight up, what’s keeping them from enlisting?

Those two groups by themselves get us to at least 23% of registered voters–33% if you include the actual ‘compassionate conservatives’ out there, so I’ll say 28%. Unfortunately, Bush doesn’t listen to registered voters–when he listens to anyone, he listens to registered Republicans, specifically, the most loyal and nutty ones–his base. And that’ll probably bring the number up to the same as his approval numbers amongst Republicans, which is likely around 70-80%. So if it’s all about pandering and political pressure, then it’s probably a done deal.

Wow, Bill, you are so brave behind your Fox News commentator’s desk.
Fight on, brave, brave soldier.

I thought anybody who disagrees are Jesus hating abortion lovers.

Of course you can’t forget about the mid-terms. We had Iraq for the last set four years ago. It’s been such a success story, why not Iran now.

god…all I can think is that they all just need to …well, dying would be helpful.
Just kidding, Mr. NSA-man. Really, it was a joke. I’m channeling Coulter. And I meant my statement only as much as she did all of hers.
Rage doesn’t cover my feelings now. I’ve gone beyond it.

_Flowers for Algernon_ is not assigned for any Lit 101 course for which I’ve seen a syllabus, Tim. (But that’s OK, _FfA and other stories_ in a particularly dogeared edition, is up on the bookshelf next to me.)

demi, you dishonest Leftist kook – Tim didn’t say Lit 101, he said high school English classes. It was assigned reading in my high school, fwiw.

tBone, you whackjob, it can’t possibly be assigned reading in middle school if it’s not also assigned in college.
That statement is absurd on it’s face.
tBone
Huh? What are you talking about?
Whuh?? Why is this absurd?

I also seem to recall reading it in high school, actually. And it’s not the type of story I would have bought and read of my own volition, so it must have been assigned.

Since we all know Iran is next on the hit list, very interesting post from Laura Rozen:

Sorry tBone, I thought everybody in this thread was trying to do funny Darrell impressions. I admit mine could have been better.
tBone
I wondered if that was what you were getting at. I would have been sure if only you’d remembered to leave off the last period
