Comma

Bush has apparently said that the war in Iraq, in the history books, will be a comma. A lot of people are very upset by this. I am not. Know why?

I don't know what the fuck he means.

You know how sometimes you'll be watching a sci-fi movie or something, and you know something's gone haywire when the robot character starts inserting random words into sentences? I'm trying to remember if Data ever did this, and I'm sure he did, but I can't think of the specific incident. But Tock (or possibly Tick-Tock) does it in Return to Oz and that's how they know they have to wind him back up. Well, that's what this sentence seems like to me. Like Bush needs to wind himself back up.

Especially since I'm not convinced Bush knows what a comma is.
