How do you change the subject in a random political thoughts thread?

Is he going to be be charged with doing a bad Chinese "intimation," or is he seriously being charged with intimidating the Chinese president via heckling?

If so, oh the delicious irony.

But it's nice to know we're able to make visiting heads of state feel right at home. Maybe we can arrange a beheading next time a Saudi prince visits Georgie at Crawford.

I just thought of it as payback for the "locked door" incident

Now that Katie Couric is going to do the nightly news, I wonder what's going to give? Is cutsie Katie going to get into a more serious mode of reporting, or is the news going to include more cutsie to accommodate Katie's style?

Whatever makes money for the corporation will prevail.

Yes, I think we're in for an era of cutsie news. Oil prices topping $7 a gallon by this time next year, getting worse by the minute as supply is stripped away by the Chinese and Indians, all as oil slowly but surely runs out. Hmmm, bird flu pandemic unprepared for that will affect 40% of the U.S., bringing our economy to a standstill. Oh, and lots more war.

And that's just in her first year.

Too bad she won't be around for the real fun of worldwide water shortages.

Wow....you're quite the doom and gloom guy, ain't you?

You are predicting oil at $350/barrel (based on your $7/gallon)? Not going to happen.

There is no evidence that the bird flu virus is mutating into a human to human communicable diseasze. I see this going the way of Ebola and SARS.

War? Probably.

Water shortages? I doubt it. While expensive, desalination plants are quite effective.

Go take a happy pill, you pessimist.

Yeah, I thought I was the morbidly pessimistic one.
