Lore Sjoberg for President

Or Presidential Historian, anyway.

It's been long enough since I heard his "88 Lines about 42 Presidents" that I nearly harmed myself laughing at it. Humor and head colds mix badly.

(The occasion of digging up the link on Brunching Shuttlecocks was that Lore has just released the first version of his web-based jukebox program, Echidna Jukebox. "88 Lines..." is one of the sample songs on the demo program.)

Donald Rumsfeld, 15 Novemer 2002:

"I can't tell you if the use of force in Iraq today would last five days, or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that," he said.

My math isn't as good as it used to be, but Mid-September minus Mid-March is more than five months, isn't it? Just checking.
