Dubya's Democracy Occupation; and Friday Hometown Blogging
I often wonder how Bush says most of what he says with a straight face. For instance, here's Bush doing his stern act regarding Syria's occupation of Lebanon:
We want democracy in Lebanon to succeed. And we know it cannot succeed so long as she is occupied by a foreign power.

Dubya's Democracy Occupation

And in another post, I suggest Friday hometown blogging for bloggers who lack a blog-worthy cat. My first hometown blogging effort is A Baysider's Ode To Queens, which begins:
Both a county and a borough,
Part of New York City too.
On Long Island, yet not of it.
I'm confused as hell. Are you? ...
The rest of my Baysider's Ode To Queens is here.
