We stopped by the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston yesterday and I picked up a $5 memento, an old library print of “All the World’s Fighting Ships, by Fred T. Jane (1898) (partial print of England’s ships). Apparently it’s the first one in the series that continues today.

What I want to know is, how did they get that past Homeland Security?

Meanwhile, I see that Bush is giving up on negotiating a long term arrangement with Iraq, leaving it to the next president. That marks the substantive close of the Bush presidency, I think.

The next phase will be negotiating a status of forces agreement between the American people and the Obama administration. Good luck to all concerned.

I’m sorry, but this is just lazy:

In remarks prepared for the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mukasey says the nation’s security professionals need every tool possible to keep the country safe.

You might think it’s hard to find someone to blame for this, but it isn’t, really. It’s the editor’s fault, or the publisher’s. No doubt the story, if you can call 100 words of tripe a story, is fully accurate. So, Mukasey’s to blame for mouthing nonsense.

But a good cure for that is not to print it. Heck, this even justifies ridicule. Just because they say it, doesn’t mean we need to print it.
