"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05

CNN.com - Suspect: Church fires were joke that 'got out of hand' - Mar 8, 2006

CNN.com - Suspect: Church fires were joke that 'got out of hand' - Mar 8, 2006: "One of the suspects said the fires began as a joke that 'got out of hand,' according to court papers filed Wednesday citing what a witness told investigators."

A "joke" that gets out of hand, that involves fire, is a fire that gets out of hand. Obviously this was an inside "joke" and most people don't get inside "jokes."

When did this "joke" get out of hand? Funny, funny, ha, ha, light some paper and put it against a building, jokingly starting it on fire....WHOOSH!!! The fire and joke get out of hand.

According to CNN, "none of the three men have criminal records."

Let's hope they have one now.
