On behalf of those with the attention span of a Frosted Mini-Wheats eater.

One outstanding quality Obama has over Bush is the ability to sound like he knows whereof he speaks. This has a wonderfully reassuring effect in the heartland.
For example, we need no longer fear the impending implosion of the Pakistani government, which would leave their nuclear weapons stockpile exposed to depredation by deleterious elements… because we now have a leader who knows to pronounce it Pock-ee-stonn in place of Pack-is-tan.

The Associated Press, in a serious analysis, opined that Kim Jong Il of North Korea has crafted his foreign policy under the influence of the 1959 movie The Mouse That Roared (based on he delightful novel by Leonard Wibberley), starring Peter Sellers in multiple roles.
This should provide our diplomatic corps with an easy solution to an otherwise tangled web. They should present Il with a copy of It’s A Wonderful Life; that is sure to give him proper perspective on what really matters in our all-too-brief sojourn on this planet.
Then again, we may not want to get him too excited about the virtues of the nuclear family.

This article represents my affirmative action for people with abbreviated attention spans.
Now if they want to read some of our other writers, they had better load up on those Frosted Mini-Wheats.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism

speaking of breakfast cereal, Jonah Goldberg once said Grape Nuts tastes like kitty litter.
why did I mention this? because I'm almost-- but not quite-- as dopey as Daphne Kenward.
Appleby| 4.23.09 @ 11:01AM
How did he find out how kitty litter tastes?
Never mind. I really don't want to know.
Becky| 4.23.09 @ 12:25PM
Pock-ee-ston, heh. I'm kind of embarrassed our President went on international trips without learning to speak any languages.
HotPat| 4.23.09 @ 2:25PM
He did too, he learned Austrian!
Susan Watson| 4.23.09 @ 2:54PM
He may be skilled in Arabic if he knows how to say Pock-ee-ston and bow to the Saudi king.
BHO| 4.23.09 @ 2:58PM
Austria!?! G'day mate, let's have another shrimp on the barbie!
JJ| 4.23.09 @ 3:38PM
"mi' amigo" he said, that's Spanish for my friend. Don't tell me doesn't know his languages.
Paul McGrath| 4.23.09 @ 9:44PM
Pock-ee-ston. The difference is, this is America. We, you know, speak English here. So, Pack-i-stan is just fine with me, or even, Pack-i-stay-an. When I go there, I'll try to speak their lingo; but when I speak about them here, I'm gonna speak it in English. The way Sister Donatus taught me in the first grade.
