Event Horizon


In case you missed it on Friday, Bush stated that he and the al-Maliki government had agreed on "general time horizon" for the removal of US troops from Iraq. I didn't, but needed to let it marinate in my mind, and I have come to this staggering conclusion: What the FUCK is a time horizon? They just made that term up. It doesn't exist in the world of mathematics, physics, any other science, or anywhere else for that matter. If President Bush should ever call on me to ask him a question, I would politely decline since he and his administration have bypassed lying and moved straight on to making shit up.
