Jim! You cannot break the laws of physics!
What does Schrödinger's cat have in common with George W. Bush? Well, Chuck Kuffner, along with Atrios and David Dirkov ponder this mystery:
HANOVER -- In some ways, President Bush's fund-raising stop in New Jersey yesterday was like his surprise Thanksgiving visit to Iraq, hastily flying in and out with little fanfare, to dine among the troops in sometimes hostile territory.
Bush made a 20-minute speech to a crowd of about 500 party faithful in the main ballroom of the Hanover Marriott at a $2,000-a-plate evening fund-raiser.
Not breaking any ground, Bush highlighted the accomplishments of his administration, saying he had eliminated the terror threat from Afghanistan and weapons of mass destruction from Iraq and ensured that Medicare will remain solvent.
"I came to this office to solve problems and not pass them on to future presidents and future generations," Bush told the crowd.
Well, gee, Mr. President, thanks a bunch for saving us from a problem that apparently didn't exist to begin with. I wonder how much campaing money you're going to raise off of THAT non-accomplishment? How about we try setting the bar just a WEE bit higher next time??
Frankly, I'm going with Schrödinger's cat on this one. At least that theory has some grounding in reality.
