Oh, yeah - almost forgot to mention. I'm back. (Hide the women and liquor!)

This is who's running the planet, folks.

From John Aravosis, www.americablog.com, relaying the report of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) for the record, quoting Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA):

"He's tried this two times - it's failed twice. I asked him at the White House:

Ms. PELOSI: Mr. President, why do you think this time it's going to work?
Mr. BUSH: Because I told them it has to.
Ms. PELOSI: Why didn't you tell them that the other two times?"

Anyone with a sliver of common sense should know: Murphy's Law doesn't give a damn who's giving the orders. (And if that's not a quote from somewhere, it damn well should be.)
