I just love Rooters...Rumsfeld Says Saddam's 'Regime' Losing Control

Why the quote marks around "regime"? My crappy little dictionary says it means a "system of administration or government." Was Rummy up there at the podium making air quotes with his fingers? Is Saddam's dictatorial oligarchy not a regime? Have all of Reuters' headline "writers" been instructed to call into question everything said by anyone in charge?

"Morons"

CORRECTION NOTICE: Regular reader and denizen of the Kudzu Patch, Larry Anderson writes in to the Possumblog Editorial Office:

I think that the use of quotes around the word "Morons" in the context in which you used it is incorrect. It is not a quote nor do you need to set it apart as something your reader needs to understand may not be exactly accurate.

The Possumblog Web Log Editorial Department and staff deeply regret any misunderstanding which may have arisen by the (mis)use of the word "moron" in quotation marks in the above post. As always, we will make every effort to correct errors of a substantive nature as quickly as possible. To that end, we ask that the following be considered as such a corrective action:

Morons.

Thank you for reading and responding.
