This WaPo article claims Bush wants up to $95 billion for the war in Iraq. According to Drudge, that breaks down to $320.00 per citizen.
Who do I write the check to and where do I send it?

I graded close to 100 papers today, all while having my cat try to knock the pen out of my hand. That is why there were so many posts from me- after reading about five student papers, I have to take a break and read the web, just so I don’t forget how written English is supposed to look. At any rate, time for some Jimmy Kimmel Live with cohost of the week DON KING!

As some of you know, I am a candidate for political office. I kind of rushed into this decision, and after a meeting tonight, I am having serious doubts about my ability to do this.
I have quit on almost everything I have ever started in my life. I really need some good vibes tonight.

It is so pathetic I am trying not to laugh. All together now:
I have quit on almost everything I have ever started in my life.
Heya Finnfann- Could you let me know your real name andwhat you are running for- with a platform like that, I can’t wait to vote for you. I might suggest you get a campaign advisor, or, at the very least, a media manager. This statement:
I have quit on almost everything I have ever started in my life.
just doesn’t strike me as one that will get your campaign rolling in the right direction.

Have a political question you may have debated with the far left. Check their answer with the results from the Hysterical Liberal Magic Eight Ball.
Just for fun, I asked it a couple questions, and the responses looked like the comments section at Eschaton. Here are some sample results:
My question: With all the candidates in the field for 2004, does a Democrat stand achance of winning?
Hysterical Liberal Magic 8-Ball response: You’re a Racist!
—
My question: Are the peace protestors right?
Hysterical Liberal Magic 8-ball response: You’re a fascist!
—
My question: Should the Democrats block the Estrada vote?
Hysterical Liberal Magic 8-ball response: Answer unclear (West Wing hasn’t covered that subject yet)
—
My question: is the mainstream media biased?
Hysterical Liberal Magic 8-ball response: You’re a fascist!

Check out Michael Totten’s take on a possible Hussein/Bush debate:
Dan Rather has interviewed Saddam Hussein, and Saddam challenges George Bush to a TV debate.
The idea is, of course, ridiculous. Bush won’t dignify Saddam with a response. If Bush agreed, Saddam would send a surgically-modified double.
and:
I’d love to see a post-debate opinion poll from France that looked like this.
Who won the debate?
Saddam – 85 percent
Bush – 9 percent
Undecided – 6 percent
It would be a clarifying moment. The US could stop pretending the French matter. Everyone else could stop pretending they’re smart and sophisticated.
Now go read the bilge from the Democratic Underground, or this thread, titled “Hussein Challenges Bush to Debate – which facist speaks better english… ”
Atrios, get your loons under control.

A Danish pizzeria has banned French and Germans from dining there because of their country’s stance on a war with Iraq.
Aage Bjerre, who owns Aage’s Pizza on the island of Fanoe, said he’s tired of French and German attitudes toward the United States.
He’s put two homemade drawings on the shop door, one a silhouette of a man coloured red, yellow and black for Germany and another in the red, white and blue for France.
Both silhouettes have a bar across them.
He says Germans will be allowed in if their country joins a war on Iraq, but the French will have to endure a lifetime ban.
Aage said: “Hadn’t the United States helped Europe in defeating Germany, there would have been photos of Adolf Hitler hanging on the walls around here.”
