Well, if we can't find Osama bin Laden, the least we can do is bomb Britain. So that's what we just did.

Okay, okay – it was actually just an itsy-bitsy mistake.

Even so, you'd think we'd be a little more careful about where we drop our weapons. Oh, wait a second, I'm talking about people who work for the Bush Administration. Sorry it even occurred to me to act surprised.

Dropping lethal ordnance on the Brits goes perfectly with every other ham-handed, blunder-headed, dimwitted, incompetent bollixup committed by the Republican Bush Administration, from Iraq to the current attempts to screw up the already-screwed financial system.

But hey, what do I know? I'm only a crank.
