I've actually begun to feel a little sorry for Prez George. He has no clue about how history is going to consider him, and I doubt his father is going to be weeping in pride before any cameras for him. On a purely personal level, I don't like seeing anyone looking at that much disappointment and hurt.

Then I worry that he will get a clue on how he's going to be regarded, and he's going to go off on a catastrophic tear of "I'll show them!" Pouters shouldn't be president.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't.

OK, I see what you're saying. But IMHO Bush is a mean, arrogant, close-minded fuck... which causes me to lose sympathy for him....

All very true. But sometimes I manage to impress myself with my fellowfeeling for twits.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can't. He's responsible for too many of his problems.

I have no sympathy. None. He created this tragic clusterfuck, and killed and otherwise destroyed an enormous number of people doing it. I'm a little more concerned with their hurt than his just desserts. Not that he'll ever get those.

Then I worry that he will get a clue on how he's going to be regarded, and he's going to go off on a catastrophic tear of "I'll show them!" Pouters shouldn't be president.

You don't see this happening already? Especially recently, I think that's exactly what's driving him.

Restaurant cooking being what it is, it certainly could be very high in fat, but it doesn't have to be.

This pad thai is very fresh and tender, not overly oily, with big chunks of tofu and veg. So I'm going to pretend it's good for me. Especially as I only ate a third of it and packed the rest in with my original lunch.

Strictly speaking, yes, but I see many of his crimes as being primarily caused by utter cluelessness than maliciousness. Not all of them, mind you. There's maliciousness there. But just enough cluelessness that he has no idea just how big that cluestick really is.

Speaking of people I can't feel an ounce of sympathy for:

I'd have more sympathy for someone who's clueless but is aware of it and goes to others for help. Bush is notorious for making decisions early on for vague or ill-conceived reasons and then stubbornly sticking to them regardless of the results.
