as if to further add to the recent report about emperor bush’s hooked-on-phonics-inspired speech teleprompts, he manages to stick his foot even further into his mouth yesterday with the Instant Bush Classic™: “childrens do learn.”

at least he managed to answer his previous question… “is our children learning?”

coming up tomorrow: watch white house spokeswoman dana perrino spin the story! turns out, the emperor was just poking fun at himself! oh… what a jokester!

EDIT: finally some good news on the judicial front: a federal judge here in portland finds parts of the patriot act unconstitutional.

“I tried to find the rhythm of the world where I used to live. I followed the current. I was silent, attentive.

I made a conscious effort to smile, nod, stand, and perform the millions of gestures that constitute life on earth. I studied these gestures until they became reflexes again.

But I was haunted by the idea that I remembered her wrong, and somehow I was wrong about everything.”

from the movie solaris.
