The secret origins of the Friedman Unit!
You know, all of the recent goalpost-moving being done by the Bush administration and its sycophants is starting to sound like the Bushies stole the idea from a certain Three Stooges short:
Moe Hailstone (looking at a map of “The Continent of Starvania”): Now that we have captured all of Starvania, we must take Great Mitten.
All Stooges (unison): Ya. Ya. Ya.
Minister of Propaganda Larry Pebble: Yeah, you said you were going to blitzkrieg Great Mitten by the middle of August.
Field Marshall “Curly” Herring (getting in Hailstone’s personal space): Then you said Septober. Then Octember. It’s now in the middle of Novander, and we ain’t there yet!
Moe Hailstone: Well, novander! I didn’t say what year!
Of course, the same sort of ananolgy could be applied to the now constant drumbeat for war against Iran.
