War in Georgia!? Atlanta burns again?




Oh. Not THAT Georgia.

Do we have troops there? No...

Oh, okay,

Well, didja hear that NASA produced those new swimsuits that Phelps is wearing?

In a surprising turn of events Americans don't give a shit about conflict abroad.

This is why Obama chose to take his vacation now. He figured accurately that the Olympics would provide him media cover, even in the face of an act of war by our Cold War nemesis.

Even the internets with their ten-thousand tiny microscopes have moved on from the Caucasus to dissect the upcoming Purpose-Driven Debate with Rick Warren. Follow that up with an Obama veep announcement and the denouement of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad and Georgia won't be on our minds. Was this the October surprise the McCain camp had been waiting for? I hope not. There's a reason it's called the October surprise...

because it happens in October...

right before the election...

when everyone and their grandmother is focused on the campaigns.

If Randy Scheunemann had been slowly stroking his Georgia woody since he left his role as Saakashvili's man in Washington in May, I hope he didn't get overly excited when McCain was the only guy left in the room this week.

The foreplay is far from over and the clean-up could be awkward.

The Protocol is never premature in its analytical ejaculations.
