The Jog isn't in the mood for much pontificating today. Instead we'll provide a brief example of the idiotic style of debate that now infects the corridors of power in this country. Common sense is dead.

First up we have the comments of Representative Pete Stark. While debating the merits of President Bush's arguments against recently passed children's health care legislation Mr. Stark let loose with rhetoric that sums up the thinking of the hard Left about this President and the war in Iraq. Don't be fooled when Democrats respond to bad PR and distance themselves from his remarks in the next few days. This is how the Left in this country truthfully feel about this issue. They believe most of what we refer to as the War on Terror is an illusion conjured up by Republicans to win elections. They don't believe the threat is real. That's a fact.


Now let's turn to another phoney-baloney debate that has surfaced in the last 48 hours. During a press conference on Wednesday afternoon President Bush mentioned the prospect of World War III if the current Iranian regime were able to produce nuclear weapons:


Is it even possible to logically construe the words you just heard the President say as a threat to start World War III? Well, throw away logic and toss in a few power hungry Democrats, and the answer is yes.


The President's comments were twisted and taken so far out of context that it was left to the Secretary of Defense to explain what should have been the obvious logic behind the remarks made by Bush in the first place.


Compound this with the silliness of the recent Rush Limbaugh faux troop scandal and the MoveOn.org Petraeus ad and you begin to get the picture. This country has decided to face a very serious period of its history with mind-numbingly trivial national debate.

Mark the Jog's words- if we turn the country over to appeasement minded politicians that espouse the ideas reflected in Obama's further comments below- we're in for a rough patch ahead.


All carrots and no sticks- that's Obama's answer and in our opinion it's the worst foreign policy move this country could make.

And finally-
Just for fun here's the latest dispatch from Britney's last days on earth:
