let's pull over and ask for directions

last week, jon stewart made fun of hillary clinton's slogan, "let the conversation begin," saying it wouldn't work with men. he tossed off a couple more phrases he thought equally ineffective, ending with an iraq policy name i've used to headline this post.

it got a good laugh, but hmm: "pull over." and hmm: "ask for directions."

y'know, i like the sound of that.

i really do.

imagine this conversation with the next sawdust-brained bushbot you meet:

him: you liberals want to cut and run.

you: no. we want to pull over and ask for directions.

not bad, eh?

oh. in case you wonder what "sawdust-brained" means, i got the idea from the wizard of oz. recall how the wizard gives the scarecrow a brain by adding.... it's slipped my mind what he added, but i know he mixed something with the straw in the scarecrow's head. what i'm suggesting is you turn a bush into sawdust then mix it with your brain, and you too will start saying things like "stay the course," "personal accounts," "freedom is god's gift," "death tax," "faith-based initiative," and "democrat party."
