President George W. Bush showed up in Iraq this morning, for what an administration spokesman called a "surprise visit." The president, waking from a long nap as Air Force One taxied to a terminal at Baghdad International Airport is said to have remarked, "I'm where?"
Bush, scheduled to speak at a fundraising luncheon in Carlsbad, California, apparently gave the pilots the wrong destination when he boarded the presidential plane. "Carlsbad, Baghdad - it's a natural mistake," said White House press secretary Tony Snow. "As you probably know, geography is not the president's strongest suit."
Bush decided that since he was "in the neighborhood," he would set up a photo-op with new Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in Baghdad's heavily-fortified Green Zone. "Might as well make a little hay while there's still water under the dam," said Bush. "I gotta tell you though, the first convenience store clerk explodes anywhere near us, we're out of here."

thing I mean, the arm ripping and the beating with the bloody stump.

I think the implied anger may simply be a reflection of the whole
columnist thing. If you consistently write hard- pass4sure 642-661c hitting, insightful
analysis of important issues, you’re bound to antagonize pass4sure 646-656 a few
people. If, like me, you go the next step and simply put random words
on paper, you’ll piss off just about everybody
