From MY:
"If downing shots of liquor is really the truest sign of "being a man (or woman) of the people" then I guess every dude in every frat in America is now working class. Indeed, even Matt Yglesias, certified pointy-headed elite, enjoys a celebratory shot or two every now and again. Meanwhile, a little birdie told me a lot of working class protestant church folk are teetotalers. But who am I to correct Roger Simon, who doubtless has so much working class cred that wine bottles spontaneously combust in his presence."

Thousands are expected for the ceremony on the South Lawn, which will include the American and Vatican anthems and a 21-gun salute. [Boldface mine]

Quote of the Day
Joe Klein:
"The desire for permanent bases in Iraq dishonors the American dead, and
ensures that many more will die. This is the real horror of John McCain's
hyperbolic statements about another 100 or 10,000 years in Iraq: he thinks the
occupation of Iraq can be like the U.S. occupations of Korea, Japan or
Germany--all three ethnically homogenous, non-Islamic countries. He should both
read a little history. So should Kagan. But then, if they'd been familiar with
the history of Mesopotamia, we probably wouldn't have invaded in the first
place."

Embarassment of the Day
White House press secretary, Dana Perino:
"Some of the terms I just don’t know, I haven’t grown up knowing. The type of
missiles that are out there: patriots and scuds and cruise missiles and tomahawk
missiles. And I think that men just by osmosis understand all of these
things, and they’re things that I really have to work at — to know the
difference between a carrier and a destroyer, and what it means when one of
those is being launched to a certain area."
Quote of the Day
From Jay Carney:
"You know things are bad in the economy when what passes for good news is
the hope that we're probably not on the verge of the second Great
Depression."
