I am George Bush & I haven't been paying attention:

PRESIDENT BUSH: I am pleased to welcome my friend, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, back to the Oval Office. And I thank you for bringing your wife to have dinner tonight with Laura and me. I'm looking forward to it.

We've been through a lot together during our time in office. We strongly believe that Israel will benefit by having a Palestinian state, a democracy on her border that works for peace. And, Prime Minister, that vision is alive because of you. And I thank you for your steadfast support for peace.

And it's not easy. It's not easy to try to change the paradigm, and I understand that. But one thing is for certain -- you've kept your word. And in international politics, that's important. And I want to thank you for the friendship, and thank you for your vision. And I just want you to know that I believe that vision is alive and needs to be worked on.

And again, I welcome you. Appreciate you coming.

PRIME MINISTER OLMERT: Thank you very much, Mr. President. I'm delighted to have this opportunity to express again the deep gratitude we all have to you, personally, as a human being, as a friend, as a courageous leader who has helped Israel so much over the period since you were President of the United States of America.

I will never forget that you have removed one of the most threatening strategic dangers from Israel on the east side, in Iraq. And this is a great achievement that makes life much better for many people in our part of the world, particularly for us and for our neighbors, as well.

You have set forth in motion the Annapolis process, which I was very proud to take part in.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Yes, sir.

PRIME MINISTER OLMERT: It continues with your guidance and support and inspiration. And this is very important, because as you say, a two-state solution is the only possible way to resolve the conflict in the Middle East.

So, Mr. President, on behalf of the people of Israel, I want to thank you. The importance of your leadership is greatly appreciated in our country. And I'm sure that when the history books will be written, the contributions that you made to the safety and security of many people will be greatly appreciated.

Personally, I want to thank you for your friendship on behalf of my wife, Aliza, and myself. And I'm so happy and proud that I had an opportunity to speak of it to you before you leave this great place and before I leave my office. And I'm sure that we will continue our friendship for many years to come.

Thank you very much.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, sir. Thank you.

It may be unconstitutional to make Hillary Clinton the Secretary of State:

I only hope that Obama shows a fraction of the honesty and integrity Bush has shown in his tenure.

He claims to have gone to Trinity Church twice a month, in the last 20 years & never heard Reverend Wright say anything hateful. That's 480 times.
I think that he lies.

Obama's AG: 'Enemy Combatants Not Entitled To Geneva Protections'

One of the things we clearly want to do with these prisoners is to have an ability to interrogate them and find out what their future plans might be, where other cells are located; under the Geneva Convention that you are really limited in the amount of information that you can elicit from people.

It seems to me that given the way in which they have conducted themselves, however, that they are not, in fact, people entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention. They are not prisoners of war. If, for instance, Mohamed Atta had survived the attack on the World Trade Center, would we now be calling him a prisoner of war? I think not. Should Zacarias Moussaoui be called a prisoner of war? Again, I think not.

re: #8 Alaska Kim

Hi folks.

Hi Kim. We had 21 degrees last night in Golden, Co. How's your overnight temps?

re: #13 opnion

There was a bit of sarcasm implied there,opnion.

Howdy Lizards. Well, I guess it's time to sell off the 401K and take the $35.73 that's left and spend it. You know, help the economy. I'm thinkin' bumper stickers. I'll put 'em on the old car, just in case someone with low tolerance wants to key it. How about "Impeach Obama". or "Barry lied, infants died", or maybe "Hey, Joe Biden, the village called and they want their Idiot back". I'm sure y'all can come up with more. I've seen this crap from the other side for 8 years, so I figure at least now it's my turn. If it shows no class and just pisses them off, that's ok with me.

Ehud Olmert seems to believe (although Obama denied it) that the U.S. is beginning to reach out to Hamas.

People are really impressed by bumper stickers on smoke belching cars that have primer paint with rusty dent highlights. Especially if they also have "make thousands at home" bumper stickers as well. That always convinces me.

Obama a good little Marxist sought out a place where he'd be comfortable. Marxism wearing a priests robe, Liberation Theology!

re: #53 opnion

Obama Christian: Because he has accepted Christianity as his faith.
Obama Muslim: Because Muslim Law states that you are Muslim if your Father is.

Olmert, Livni, and Israel in general should. Olmert states that he is going to follow Annapolis (no matter what. See #1), and Rice still blames the failure of the process on Israel.

About five to ten years before Dorsett. Besides, wasn't Dorsett in the backfield?

Wasn't there a rhyme about the defensive line?

White, Martin, Dutton, and Jones

Wasn't there a rhyme about the defensive line?

White, Martin, Dutton, and Jones
A defensive front line to rattle your bones.

Or something like that.

Ah yes, Harvey Martin was a big guy.

re: #129 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Space Balls?

From, of all places, the UK Daily Mail:

The night we waved goodbye to America... our last best hope on Earth

Excerpt:

Suspicious of welfare addiction, feeble justice and high taxes, totally committed to preserving its own national sovereignty, unabashedly Christian in a world part secular and part Muslim, suspicious of the Great Global Warming panic, it was unique.

These strengths had been fading for some time, mainly due to poorly controlled mass immigration and to the march of political correctness. They had also been weakened by the failure of America’s conservative party – the Republicans – to fight on the cultural and moral fronts.

They preferred to posture on the world stage. Scared of confronting Left-wing teachers and sexual revolutionaries at home, they could order soldiers to be brave on their behalf in far-off deserts. And now the US, like Britain before it, has begun the long slow descent into the Third World. How sad. Where now is our last best hope on Earth?

re: #50 David IV of Georgia

People are really impressed by bumper stickers on smoke belching cars that have primer paint with rusty dent highlights. Especially if they also have "make thousands at home" bumper stickers as well. That always convinces me.

Tony Dorsett was in the backfield, he has/had the longest run from scrimmage, done in a Monday night game against the Vikings, 102 yards.

You crack me up! It's 110 yards, 3 downs, a lot of passing as opposed to rushing, a much faster game than the *sniff* NFL and besides, ours balls are bigger.

re: #141 albusteve

TO has, I think, been willing to be a team player ever since he came to Dallas. It just took the coaches and team-mates a little time to bring that willingness to a relative maturity.

Loved Emmitt Smith too. Super player, really good guy off the field.

re: #17 leboaz

Howdy Lizards. Well, I guess it's time to sell off the 401K and take the $35.73 that's left and spend it. You know, help the economy. I'm thinkin' bumper stickers. I'll put 'em on the old car, just in case someone with low tolerance wants to key it. How about "Impeach Obama". or "Barry lied, infants died", or maybe "Hey, Joe Biden, the village called and they want their Idiot back". I'm sure y'all can come up with more. I've seen this crap from the other side for 8 years, so I figure at least now it's my turn. If it shows no class and just pisses them off, that's ok with me.

How about "When you're done with your waffles, can you do something about the economy?" Of course, this is assuming he's going to tank the economy with his stupid tax policies.

You can go alot of different ways with the orange juice. Peal, cut up and cook like potatoes in orange juice. Cook and mash using orange juice. That's my translation. Hope it helps

Nah. Mashed sweet potatoes. Cube 'em, boil 'em, mash 'em, add butter brown sugar, a touch (just a touch) of nutmeg, and a half a cup of orange juice (to taste)....put in a casserole, smother 'em bastids with marshmallows, bake 'em at 350 degrees (that would be Fahrenheit) til the marshmallows brown pretty.

As usual with an Onion article that targets one of my personal hobbies or lifestyle, I'm never 100% sure whether to laugh or be offended -- but in the end I pretty much always err on the side of laughing.

And in his comments section:

I think if you are at all offended then you might need to take a good long look at yourself and ask, "Am I taking this too seriously?" It's a game/hobby - not your real life.
