The best way to wake up on Sunday morning

Huh. Spying protects safety. And smoking is cool. And pro wrestling is real. And there really is a Santa Claus. And this really was a good movie but not really.

"Often appearing angry..."

So welcome to the club. Take that eight minutes or so of radio time and multiply it by just about five years now. Take that eight minutes and think about how every time you open *your* mouth and say something dumb, we still want to throw our shoe at the TV because it's the only option *we* have.

We love that when the story broke Friday, you issued a terse no comment. We also love that the above photo, taken by the AP's Hadi Mizban, doesn't even begin to equal others we've seen that we won't post here because they're way, way too graphic, like how-many-limbs-are-missing-oh-sh*t-three graphic.

We love that being President as we close 2005 still means telling the American people what they should think, rather than simply making decisions that will give the American people both the ability to think, and fodder to think about.

We're going back to bed on this lovely Sunday morning. Wake us up in 2009, if the world still exists.
