A note arrives from Jules Crittenden, our man at the Boston Herald:

We held Britain, America and Australia. We’ve retaken Canada. Germany has surrendered. France is on the ropes. Osama bin Laden wants a truce. Perhaps most astonishing of all, the BBC has been forced to acknowledge that Afghans and Iraqis are among the most optimistic people in the world. As an aside, Americans are happy that George Bush is tapping terror suspects phones without warrants. Clearly a quagmire of disastrous proportions.

By the way, to the best of my knowledge ABC’s Stephen Crittenden is no relative.

    1. Mark Steyn’s comparison between Canada and the Monty Python Canadian Lumberjack sketch is priceless.

    1. Heh, and Jules mentioned Stephen.

    1. The last bastions of anti-American hate in the world are Iran, Manhattan, North Korea and San Francisco.

      Obviously you aren’t familiar with the Arab world…

    1. perfectsense and dan lewis – Do shouts of “Death to America” count as anti-Americanism? There must be some mistake; Pakistan is an ally.

    1. #5. The last bastions of anti-American hate in the world are Iran, Manhattan, North Korea and San Francisco.

      Do not forget Australian universities, with the ANU, Political Sciences, and Islamic Studies in the forefront, full of hate of anything which is American, or Australian.

    1. Where there’s extortion (state funding) AKA a lack of liberty, you’ll find anti-americanism/anti-capitalism.

      We should surrender as soon as possible to cut our winnings…

    1. DBO, surely you are referring to San Francisco.  Or perhaps Berkley?

    1. I, for one, would like to thank the Dark Lord Rove and his mignons minions (and you know who you are) for doing the dirty job that somebody had to do.  Anything worth doing is worth doing well.  Or something like that.

    1. Thanks, Rebecca.  While I don’t move in the rarifed atmosphere frequented by Stoop Dave, McEnroe and Wronwright – I am but a lowly Orbital Death Laser Maintenance Technician First Class, currently assigned to Rovian Lagrange Platform Six – all of us at the VRWC appreciate your kind words of support.

      Unsolicited, too.  By the way, that gopher that’s been messing up your front yard?  He’s toast.  Literally.

    1. Appreciate it much, Steve S.  I’m tired of stepping in sink holes.
