It would be funny if it weren't so real.

The photo is outright creepy.

I find it interesting that Condi just takes it for granted that she'll be able to go back to Stanford. For any other administration, a former Secretary of State would be very welcome at any university, but I suspect that Stanford won't be as welcoming as she expects. She may have to settle for a Hoover Institute appointment.

Criminals, the whole lot of them. And the various advisers and foreign leaders that should have gone right to the press... shame on them. Thousands of US dead, tens of thousands of wounded soldiers, hundreds of thousands of iraqi civilians dead, and for what? A handful of "Yes" men and women covering their asses so they can keep their publicly funded jobs.

And the punch-line to all this is everyone that had been in a position to end it all, the American people, were busy spending money that didn't exist but in the same imaginations that cooked up and profited from the Iraq War.
