* pic is from g. it begs the question - what do g and amyl think about the fact that yuor country is widely ridiculed? do u think it is justified? are u embarassed? do u think the ridicule is unfair? its a bit cheeky that a britgrunt does the 'im with stupid' thing - given that her govt is also culpable. im ashamed that oz is involved. and horrified that howard got re-elected - so oztralia, and australians, are also culpable. and stupid. and nobody thinks that blair will lose. its all quite disgusting. those 3 countries are murdoch strongholds of course - what the hell will the world look like when his indian and chinese mkt penetration reaches saturation? but back to the orginal point? wars for no reason? torturers as AG? (imagine getting worse than ashcroft!) 43 as 43? et al - seriously, do u see it as some other 'america'? or the same america writ large? or something else? do u identify as 'not really american', or 'un-american' or 'american, not like the pres'?

* peggynoonan has been dutifully chastised and is back on the team: "This was the plainspoken Bush of old. The state of our union is "confident and strong."... America continues as a friend of liberty throughout the world... Republicans like personal autonomy and authority, and are good at math.... I sometimes think of Ayn Rand's sister... In the foreign-policy section the president was markedly modest in tone. It was more finely calibrated, which is to say it was calibrated.
