Washington Monthly... on the Irish Interview...

BUSH THE MULTILATERALIST....Speaking on Irish TV last night, President Bush displayed his usual keen grasp of foreign public opinion:

President Bush suggested last night that there were not major differences between the US and Europe over Iraq, but just with France.

France had opposed the US position but "most of Europe supported the decision on Iraq. Most European countries are very supportive and are participating in the reconstruction of Iraq".

Hmmm. I guess that depends on the meanings of "most," "very supportive," and "participating." I wonder which meanings he was thinking of?

UPDATE: The interview is here. It starts at the 15:00 mark.

(no subject)

Hmm, another month (almost) shot to hell.

Spent most of yesterday running from one eyeglass store to the next. Too much money in my medical savings account, and I must burn it by the end of the month. Sadly, I succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.

Today was wet and cool this morning. I've gotten little done and spent a lot of time doing it.

Found small fish in the downstairs aquarium.. and a dead cichlid floating on top. Removed the dead cichlid and flushed it. I knew one fish had had babies, but I figured they'd all gotten eaten.
Still a few big catfish in the tank and a bunch of bigger cichlids.
