Quotes of the Day

Several choices in the weird quote field this morning.
"Fred will never rush us into war because Fred never rushes into anything."
-- Thompson staffer Karen Hanretty

Or maybe Musharraf operating in the impossible tense,
"The day when there is no turmoil in Pakistan, I will step down,"

Or, from a very bizarre and unsettling article on selling terrorism preparedness to children.
"Let's shelter in place!" their teacher says brightly, grabbing her duct tape and plastic sheeting.....

Children are invited to design a flag for their evacuation shelter.

  • "The day when there is no turmoil in Pakistan, I will step down,"

    Musharraf's quote reminds me of 'US forces will leave Iraq when we have achieved stability.'

  • Anon, that's why I thought it was so funny.

    When in Pakistan's history has there been no turmoil?

  • "Shelter in place." Today's incarnation of yesterday's "duck and cover."

    "duck and cover" the teacher says brightly...."

    So, when the agents of peace and calm stand up, he'll stand down... Why does this sound so familiar?
