I've long complained that the quality of your average fortune cookie has gone down. I don't mean the cookie -- I mean the fortune. They're not really fortunes at all, now -- you never see "You will meet a woman with dark hair and an unusual past". You're lucky these days if you get some pseudo-wise saying like "you catch more flies with honey than with a fishnet".

Today I got this fortune: "You would make a good lawyer."

I mean, really! If they're just going to insult me, I'm not even going to open the damn things from now on.

Here's a little tidbit from The Washington Post:

Robert Kagan, a neoconservative supporter of the Iraq war, wrote: "All but the most blindly devoted Bush supporters can see that Bush administration officials have no clue about what to do in Iraq tomorrow, much less a month from now."

Bill Clinton won re-election by winning over the moderates, while keeping the liberals in his camp because the opposition was so much worse from their point of view. Just what is Bush's strategy for winning this election? He'd better have something better than "Outspend, Outtalk, Outlast". (Gratuitous Survivor reference there).
