and another thing or two about america

Yesterday, actually Monday, I was reading this article in The Times about joke-telling. Then there was this survey and it turns out that "the WORLD's funniest joke"starts with: "two hunters from New Jersey were walking in the woods.." Ah.. for the love of God..

And then yesterday, by which I mean Tuesday, President Bush came out on us with another one of his carefully chosen pithy words. This time he described the war between Israel and Lebanon as "a war between freedom and terror".. Can someone please shut him up..
