Surprised?
Posted by Michael Cohen

Below Ilan expresses wonderment at the President’s most recent divorced-from-reality statements on the war in Afghanistan. But really Ilan, how are you possibly surprised by this?

Just consider for a moment what’s happened in the past week or so; the President vetoed a bill banning torture, he personally intervened in a EPA decision that loosened the regulations guiding the Clean Air Act – a move that was strong opposed by EPA scientists – he fired his CENTCOM chief for asserting a more rational course for American foreign policy in the Middle East, he saw his Pentagon clumsily try to cover up a report that demonstrated the baselessness of one of the Administration’s central cases for war in Iraq and just a few days ago, he basically accused Congressional Democrats of treason if they pass their version of the FISA bill. And I also understand that the other day he cackled with glee as Dick Cheney waterboarded kittens in the Oval Office. Ok, I made the last one up.

But the larger point here is that none of this should even seem surprising. After seven years, of utter incompetence, venality, arrogance and a chronic inability to take responsibility for anything, what would truly be surprising is if George Bush didn’t do or say things like this . . .

It is time to buy a homecoming dress for youself.Do you want to be the homecoming queen?If your answer is 'YES'.You'd better search for your homecoming dress as soon as possible.Bright colors are so in this year.Remember, this isn't a prom or graduation ceremony. Homecoming is about fun! Dresses can still look formal, but this year you should be jazzing up your look with bright or even neon colors. Hot pink, electric blue; show your wild side and don't forget to color-match your makeup and accessories.Short skirts are a must. . If you're going to be dancing away the night then you don't want a long skirt tripping you up at every turn! Homecoming is a great chance to be a bit less formal, so ditch the long gown and go short!A-Line or ball gown style is ideal. Every year girls are wondering what the best style is for some serious partying at homecoming! Well in 2011 we're saying that you need to choose A-Line or ball gown style gowns as these are going to be really comfortable for dancing as well as being flattering for almost ANY body shape!Choose iridescent taffeta. 2011 is the year of iridescent taffeta. Here comes the best part though, following 2011's trends and still getting the dresses cheaply!
