Although the following is an idea that has been rattling around my head for quite awhile now, yesterday's quote from the president (admitting - or at least saying the words - that we are not winning in Iraq) secured the idea firmly in the front of my mind.
Media, I beg of you:
IGNORE THE PRESIDENT!
What would happen if everyone just stopped reporting on the inane, obvious, and insincere soundbites that dribble from his mouth? What if the media focused on the actual events of Iraq and not the homespun, 2nd-grade reading level version that issues forth from the White House every day (a never-ending sewage canal of verbal and ethical waste)?
The Bush Administration's idiocy isn't news. The soundbites he utters are devoid of meaning without appropriate context (such as: President Bush admitted today that we are not winning in Iraq. He went on to say that we're not losing, either. As most of the world had come to the same conclusion at least a year earlier, Bush's statement highlights the Administration's ineptitude more than anything else.)
OK, so maybe that's editorializing a bit.
But seriously. Why encourage the Administration in their attempts to do whatever it is they're trying to do? It's ridiculous. It's like praising the kid in the back row of the class for blurting out the answer an hour after everyone else had already answered it.
The Bush Administration is the back row of Remedial Current Affairs 101.
Thank heavens that there are repeat episodes of House to watch and pairs of socks to knit to save my sanity.

I'm sorry, I am looking for the rabbi covention?
Down the hall to the left (the "covention?")
I misspelled that, didn't I? I am so, so sorry! I am truly very, very sorry about that! Oy!
