Good, cause I was confused, and thinking it was the reverse.

I'm sorry. I'm still in love with Brenda Lee.

Anything with the term "progress" in its title is always suspicious to me.

Think Progress was so excited by the gotcha they failed to comment on the thoughts within the speech, and what they might mean for McCain as a president vs. one of the Dem candidates.

re: #7 Noam Sayin'

Noam, they only owned up to it when they got busted.

So, in other words, McCain gave the original speech in 1995 and Zeimler copied it in 1996. Their correction is confusing.

McCain gave the speech yesterday.
Think Progress assumed that he plagiarized Zeimler's 1996 speech.

McCain campaign pointed out that McCain made the same speech in 1995. And it was right there on McCain's website.
Think Progress, in all their rigorous research, never looked on McCain's website.

To save the planet use S in your word processor.

Funny, but they never really worried about maintaining credibility and transparency before. /

I detest war. It might not be the worst thing to befall human beings, but it is wretched beyond all description. When nations seek to resolve their differences by force of arms, a million tragedies ensue. The lives of a nation’s finest patriots are sacrificed.

Innocent people suffer and die. Commerce is disrupted; economies are damaged; strategic interests shielded by years of patient statecraft are endangered as the exigencies of war and diplomacy conflict. Not the valor with which it is fought nor the nobility of the cause it serves, can glorify war. Whatever gains are secured, it is loss the veteran remembers most keenly.

Oh, yeah?

Oops!

Trees

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
