Are they NUTS?!?!?

OK, he did look nonplussed by the Lawrence of Arabia analogy. But then again, who wouldn’t?

I’ve heard of tortured analogies before, but Matthews, who could not be expected to know any better, would probably say he didn’t torture that analogy–he just waterboarded it. Whether or not that’s torture is up for debate.

That man scares me.

You can set up a reader in a lot of places - Google or Yahoo for instance. There’s one built in to the Firefox browser. It’s all fairly easy to set up, no matter which one you use.

(I’m partial to Google Reader, but then again Google owns a small chunk of my soul at this point.)

My concern is that a) it may be difficult to keep up with unless you use a RSS reader and b) visitors will forget to visit the tumblelog page. But it seems to be getting a positive response (thank you all), so I’ll put a link up on the front page and see how it goes!

I especially appreciated the reference to Chris’s election night analogy of the Clinton victory to the attack across the Nefud into Aqaba (my favorite scene from a memorable movie).

Even though I had heard it live, in rather the same speechless, startled disbelief as Keith seemed to have, when Jon Stewart closed his clip show of ever more ridiculous comments on the topic with that footage, I was unfortunately drinking hot Gypsy Cold Cure tea. I do not think that the intent is to snort it up backwards and out the nose, but that does seem to have helped.

And every time that clip is played, there is Keith beside Matthews, a very uncomfortable accessory.

Next, I expect to see it in a new Giuliani ad.
