On the brink

The talks have degenerated into little more than growling and baring of teeth. I must summon all of my diplomatic powers to keep this peace process from falling apart. Rabbi Jake and I have pulled out all the stops, placing a phone call to our secret weapon. As I type this, the humanitarian odd couple of 2005 -- George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton -- are speeding down the highway in their jointly owned Winnebago. We must pray that they arrive before it is too late.

Thank you all for your prayers. Welcome to the congregation, Graeme. Being a former/current Catholic, you may have met my friend the pope. He stops by on this blog from time to time.

Bigbuddhapuppy, I have never seen The Odd Couple. I am only 4 years old, so it is a little before my time. But I would welcome you at the next peace conference, so long as you do not attempt to steal my thunder. The Nobel prize will be mine, and mine alone.
