a brief commentary from commander other: obviously, this photo caught my eye. i started to write something snarky, then thought better of being unnecessarily rude to the gravitationally-encumbered.

but then, it struck me: while some of us liberals and progressives might appreciate the value of other cultures, it is quite obvious that our current administration does not. and more to the point, when it comes to making babies cry, president chimpy sure as hell doesn’t need sumo wrestlers. not when he can just order more national guard troops to iraq.

“george bush made babies cry” should be the way this unforgivable buffoon is remembered.
