A driver (a Californian, most likely) is pulled over by a cop for running a stop sign.
The driver says, "Why are you pulling me over? I slowed down, didn't I?"
The cop pulls out his nightstick and starts hitting the driver with it.
"Ow! Stop!" yells the driver.
The cop asks, "Do you want me to stop, or do you want me to slow down?"
The
Iraq war supplemental doesn't
ever demand we
stop the war in Iraq. Ever. Only that, at some point in the distant future—after we've spent
yet another $124 billion and killed another couple hundred thousand Iraqis (and another couple thousand Americans)—we maybe
think about slowing down a little.
"Tell you what, Neville, a year from now, assuming nothing unexpected happens, we'll think about only invading half as many countries and slaughtering only half as many civilians in death camps."
"Hallelujah, Adolph! Truly we must rejoice that we have turned a corner!"
Oh yeah. I'm fucking
thrilled.

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.
See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.
Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.
I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.
Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.
I've already answered some typical comments.
I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.
