WASHINGTON (AP) -- An odd-looking Canadian coin with a bright red flower

That's just funny, now.
When do they instutute IQ tests for the guys that screen the "intelligence" reports before they let the press run with them?

Two words: "President Cheney".
I've been asking you guys up there to do that again for the past several administrations back to at least Kennedy, but will you guys do the slightest little favor for your southern neighbors? Noooooo!

We seem to have a similar lack of "qualified" candidates up here and the result is that we tend to elect the least evil of the people willing to (or stupid enough to) let themselves be nominated. Gerry :-)} London, Canada
This time I'm writing in Cthulhu or Beelzebub: I'm tired of voting for lesser evils.
The problem with that approach is that you still end up with evil and/or stupid leaders. Sometimes voters pick one that looks mean just in the hopes he'll be tougher on foreigners than the electorate (see, for example, Iran).

Contractors being befuddled, fine we all hire people who are too stupid to figure things out and too stupid to ask and get a solid explanation.
But the warning having gone out is hilarious
