Well, that's that. Excellent! Hopefully, before the end of his tenure Bush will become confident enough about things to put the cost of the Iraq war back on the books.

Just as soon as we put the Social Security shortfall back on the books (which by the ways shows that we never had a balanced budget under Clinton).

But then again. Why am I worried. Social Security is just a phantom problem created by W. Social Secuirty will fix itself.

Oh wait a second. The Iraq war is on the books. What gave you the impression that it is not? Is that what the New York Times told you?

He should have been fired for having such a complete lack of understanding of the First Amendment.

Plus, WTF did he say? I know some people at WMAL; unless they changed management recently I have to imagine that whatever he said was pretty damn bad. Or the guy's a jerk to work with and they used this as a pretense.

Its talk radio, its designed to be bad.

I am hereafter boycotting WMAL. Screw them.

Discuss.

Careful, Hank. Remember, your side's official line is that governments do not commit terrorism.

I would have said 4, but its not like she appeared giving Shalalala the strap on. I would say 2.

Yes, Jayson Blair's byline. Dan Rather confirmed it.

Exactly. They totally fired this guy for being a dick in the lunch room; political correctness was just an excuse.

I'm boycotting WMAL too, damnit. Except when I'm driving into DC and need to know traffic.

It has not been in the budget, which is one of those moments where the Administration actually publishes something for the world to see where it states boldly, clearly, over many hundreds of pages, what it plans to spend for the coming year.

In past years, an Administration official has come forth to wave his hands and exclaim that this expenditure is unimaginably complex, unknowable to the human mind, and not only should it be kept out of the budget, but that it should be included in the theory of Intelligent Design.

That, notwithstanding the fact that (IIRC) expenditures have been pretty constant over the last year or so, at $4-5 Billion per month. Thank God revenues from Iraqi oil have kept this number to a small, manageable level.

Missed this part. You're right -- only 38 years to the apocalypse! Good news -- Hank's storing plenty of Beano in the fallout shelter!

Reno also bears responsibility for the Gorelick Wall and as such some portion of the blood of the 3000 patriots who died on 911 is on her manly hands.

I believe you mean the budget forcast. He doesn't not include it in the budget forcast. But when the smoke clears, at the end of the fiscal year these numbers are included (unlike Social Security). So when the the GAO is computing the deficit from the prior years such numbers are computed. So when the statements are made on this fiscal years deficit (which end here pretty quick) that numbers include all expenditures (save the Social Security deficit - but as you liberals have pointed out will fix itself).

The beltway is backed up. No need to thank me, that one's on me.

The Pentagons budget is around 400 billion a year. The War in Iraq is adding sixty billion year. So we are in engaged in a war and it only increases the pentagons budget by fifteen percent. Every year of WWII we spent forty percent of the nations GNP on the war. Now this war barely caused a bump in the Pentagons Budget. We spend sixty billion on farm subsidies.

If we stay the course, the benefits of Iraqi oil revenues and Iraqi freedom will come to the fore and the world will reap the dividends. Of course, if the nation succumbs to the treason of Cindy sheehan and the other nattering nabobs of nothingness in the MSM and DNC, then the budgetary expenditures will be the least of our worries. Unfortunately the Dems have the attention span of Clinton wanking his dick between Monica's mouth and the Oval Office sink and our mission in Iraq requires a bit more than 17 seconds. thankfully the Bush administration is comprised of adults.
