(WIDE SHOT, ZOOMING IN AS JOHN MCCAIN WALKS THROUGH A TYPICAL BAGHDAD NEIGHBORHOOD)

McCain (TO CAMERA):

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood
A beautiful day for a neighbor (INCOMING!)
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day in this beautywood,
A neighborly day for a (KABOOM!)
Would you be mine?
Could you be (GUNFIRE)?

I have always wanted to (IED EXPLODES) just like you
I have always wanted to live in a (SNIPER FIRE) with you

So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together (HELICOPTER RETURNS FIRE)
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my (MORTAR FIRE, SCREAMS, SIRENS)?

Won't you please,
Won't you please,
Please won't you be my neighbor?

Medic! Medic!

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

Random term

Village

The Village is the few thousand people inside the Beltway who control the political life of the country; they are responsible for managing the Overton Window, for example. They are thoroughly bi-partisan. They all know each other, and they all fuck each other (both senses). The term "Village" (my term was Versailles on the Potomac) captures their provincialism, their pettiness, and how small (all senses) they really are. I believe Village is also the name of a horror movie that Digby had in mind.

I support Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

Americans United is dedicated to preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation as the only way to ensure religious freedom for all Americans.
