A stopped clock is right twice a day, but it's
irrational to rely on it for the time. The Bushies are
not merely accidental but deliberate, habitual,
congenital liars; if they say something, it's rational
to believe that it is false. If Condi Rice told me
that it was raining, I'd look out to check. if Rummy
said, Does 2+2=4? You bet! I'd add it up myself to
check. If you approack these prevaricating sleazebags
in any other way, you need education, treatment, or help.
