In honor of the Pirate here's Molly Ivin's column for this week.

================================================== =================
I'm sorry, but every now and again a girl just finds it necessary
to lay her head down on the table and howl with laughter. I wrote
a column warning that USA Next, a Republican Astroturf (meaning
"fake grass-roots") group was going to attack the AARP.

....

I haven't laughed so hard since President Bush informed us that we
have had a close and enduring friendship with Japan for the past
150 years.

ROTFLMAO!!!

Which Bush said that? I assume it must be W, since his dad took an
unintended swim courtesy of Japanese AAA back in '44.

Yep, it was Shrub.

Is it just me, or does that whole "speech" read as if it were
written for a junior high school civics class? I know the guy can't
speak worth a damn, but seeing that on the screen makes me think it's
not all his fault.

I wonder who the hell writes his speeches.

"I'm proud to join you in commemorating the 150th year of the important
relationship between the United States and Japan." reads a little
differently than "...President Bush informed us that we have had a close
and enduring friendship with Japan for the past 150 years."

Agreed. Facts are a lot more instructive and generally helpful if
there is actually something factual about them.

That said, even the corrected text sounds......um......shall we say a
bit peculiar?.....in light of some of the changes that relationship
has gone through.

who, having declined to look at any sources other than what has been
transcribed here, takes it on faith that tim's version is the more
accurate........not a difficult leap of faith to make under the
circumstances.

I think so, too, although apart from that little WWII thingy and the
slight faux paux at NanJing things have really gone pretty well, don't
you think? ;-)

Every relationship has its little......um......rough spots. As a
matter of fact, no relationship that isn't tested by a bit of
environmental stress from time to time can be expected to evolve to
the point of blossoming .

Wolfgang
take roff, for example.
