John Cleese tells a good joke:
How many Bush administration officials does it take to change a light bulb?
None. There’s nothing wrong with that light bulb. There is no need to change anything. We made the right decision and nothing has happened to change our minds. People who criticize this light bulb now, just because it doesn’t work anymore, supported us when we first screwed it in, and when these flip-floppers insist on saying that it is burned out, they are merely giving aid and encouragement to the Forces of Darkness.
This is from one of the smartest and best-written blogs I’ve ever come across. Be sure to check it out, and thanks to Mark Kleiman for letting us know about it.

That is a great blog! I just loved this line:
“Indeed, I believe that the spectrum forms a full circle, with right and left merging, as they meet at their respective extremes, into luminous batshit evil. ”
Brilliant! Thanks for the link.

Yknow, it’s worth mentioning that the blog you’re talking belongs to William “Neuromancer” Gibson, the guy who created the term “cyberspace”.
