The rest of (Bush's) speech reiterated the basic "we are good; they are evil" summary of our position. And there's nothing more dangerous than a man whose stated goal is to "eradicate evil."

Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge in a briefing today: "NASCAR dropped by and said 'What can we do to help?'" Ridge said his his new fourth branch of government can "learn a lot" from NASCAR (I swear to God, he did, check it out). After the briefing, he slapped a Valvoline sticker on his forehead, ran headfirst into a wall and burst into flames.
