Ten zip

I thought it was below zero, at least for Yale. Even Irish whiskey in a plastic water bottle couldn't keep my fingers and toes from going numb. Our seats weren't as good as Ted Kennedy's...

Almost forgot: The Yalies couldn't see my T-shirt through all the other layers - Duhbya looking goofy, over the caption "Blame Yale".

But they know.

Regrets? Bring 'em on

Was anyone anywhere with any IQ expecting Duhbya to show regret, much less remorse? Duhbya, whose only act of self-examination ever was prompted by alcohol - and probably even that due to an ultimatum from Laura and not the hokey, unbelievable story Duhb himself tells?

No, he'd rather rationalize the deaths of 4000 Americans in Iraq by sending more to die there. As long as no one he knows dies there...

"One of the lessons of Iraq is that in order for a democracy to develop or for an economy to develop there has to be a measure of security, which is now happening," he said.

Lesson of Iraq? This man allegedly majored in history at Yale.

He said reports that the United States wanted to develop permanent bases in Iraq were "erroneous."

Yep, that's already done, and he doesn't want any more. Besides, the Bushists just use a different adjective instead of 'permanent' - 'enduring'.
