President Bush is leaving office,

Oh yeah, this is a good idea. /Snark.The White House on Tuesday flatly denied an Army Radio report that claimed US President George W. Bush intends to attack Iran before the end of his term. It said that while the military option had not been taken off the table, the administration preferred to resolve concerns about Iran's push for a nuclear weapon "through peaceful diplomatic means."Army Radio

It was a pretty kickass trip, but I am completely exhausted. I guess all of that drinking golfing can really take its toll. I'm working on a weekend roundup, but I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Jim from bRight & Early for covering for me in my absence. In my opinion, he did a terrific job.

One of the tasks that Wyatt left me with was judging the Weekend Caption Contest.

I don't plan on only cross-posting what I'm putting up at bRight & Early, but this is important enough that I thought it deserved wide distribution.Conservatism hasn't changed.
