Rapport with Stephen

Who would have thought a roast at the White House Correspondence dinner would get so much blog-time?  The mainsteam media tried to ignore it, but we here in Virtual USA know a true gem when we see it.  We know where to find the pulse of the country.  We're all holed up here, those admittedly few of us who a) can think for ourselves and b) aren't afraid of the NSA.

There's so much to say about this speech that I'll just stop there, give you a tidbit and let the rest of it speak for itself:

Because, really, what incentive do these people have to answer your questions, after all? I mean, nothing satisfies you. Everybody asks for personnel changes. So, the White House has personnel changes. And then you write, "Oh, they're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic." First of all, that is a terrible metaphor. This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring! If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!

In other news, Al Gore is back.  And Bush is already snubbing him.  The Decider decided awhile ago he wasn't going to get into this Global Warming thing.  And he's sticking by his guns, goddam it.  What does he care?  He lives in Texas.  It's warm there already.
