And this is a wonderful example of our ‘century and a half long’ alliance. But I’m sure it’s not Dubya’s fault. He probably thought Japan was a state until someone told him otherwise. You know. One of those square ones in the middle.

Apparently he’s also going to send his prostitu–welfare bill to Congress as is. Here’s the kicker.

Huzzah! Welcome to the new millennium.
