It's official, I guess.

This morning NBC officially changed it's rhetoric regarding Iraq. They are now prepared to call the violence in Iraq a CIVIL WAR.

Wow. I guess they are prepared to call the New York Senate race for Clinton too. Is that obvious enough?

Here is the funny part. The President still insists that it isn't a CIVIL WAR. But I would like to point out that nothing kills what little credibility he has more than going to the Iraqi Prime Minister and demanding of know what kind of plan he has to quell the violence.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?!?! That's like me spilling boiling tar on your carpet and demanding to know how you are going to clean it up. Most people would get either a) punched or b) slapped in the face for doing that. In fact, thats not a bad idea.

In lieu of impeachment, every time the President embarrasses the country a registered voter gets to either a) punch or b) slap him in the face. I'll even do it in private. Perhaps we should keep that policy around too, it might help keep our elected officials inline. I mean, the President's approval rating is still in the low to mid 30's, which means that roughly 60 million people want to either a) punch or b) slap him in the face.
