Hate to tell you but the heckler was taken into custody and has been charged with disorderly conduct and intimation of a foreign official.

At least that is the headline at Drudge right now.

Well, thanks for ruining my day.

Alex is a buzzkill!

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

"Hu's at the White House."
"I don't know. You tell me."
"It's Hu."
"I thought you were going to tell me. Who is visiting the White House?"
"That's right."
"Hang on....Who is with Bush?"
"Yes. Bush is with Hu."
"Who?"
"Yes. President Hu."
"The President is Bush."
"Yes. President Bush is with Hu."
"What is the name of the guy at the White House?"
"No, Hu is the name of the guy at the White House."
.......

I'm bored today.

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.
