A Rare Political Post

President Bush, shown here failing to realize that you cannot condescend up.

I have a self-imposed editorial policy prohibiting the posting of political subjects. For one thing, it tends to divide and alienate otherwise agreeable and amiable readers. For another, most political topics are covered by far more qualified, interested and astute bloggers than myself.

I tell you that so you know just how strongly I feel about this. It is about time for me to ask this one question, about this one thing, just this one time.

"Mr. President, now that North Korea has demonstrated that they are indeed a viable nuclear threat, don't you and your administration feel it is about time for you to learn how to actually pronounce the word 'nuclear'?"

Repeat after me...

New.
Clee.
Ur.

"Nukeular."

Sigh.

The man's reading level is on par with "My Pet Goat." What do you expect?

Of course, when he does finally say it correctly, there will be a press conference touting his huge success with the English language.

BTW - that image verification thingee is wonky.

That's the second complaint I've gotten about the image verification. I've made some changes that should make it work a little better.

Can you email me with specific details about the problems you've had with it?

Also... If you register you won't have to deal with the image verification at all.

Done deal

But devoting 90 percent of your blog to slamming a major religion doesn't?

Again...

I would argue first that Mormonism is hardly a major religion. Not even in the top ten as far as my potential audience goes. A far cry from the probably 50/50 split of liberals and conservatives.

Also... "slamming", Jeremy? I am always welcome to have my claims disputed. If you can point to one I got wrong, provide me with reliable evidence of that and I'll gladly retract what I said and apologize.
