The top ten errors.
Great Idea
Let’s celebrate the founding of the People’s “Republic” of China on the White House lawn. Somehow, I don’t think this would happen in a Bush administration. Though I can see it in a Clinton administration, considering how much they donated to the campaigns.
What next? Celebrating half a century of Fidel’s revolucion? Maybe we can have a Pol Pot Day.

I’m not claiming that I came up with it first, or that someone else didn’t suggest it to him or them earlier, or that he didn’t come up with it prior — there’s no way to know that, unless Peter has something to say. But I recall it vividly.
Global Warming (Part Whatever)
It could forestall another ice age. Fire up the SUVs.
Because I know how much my commenters love posts like this…
Though actually, I prefer the phrase “glacial advance” to “ice age,” because we never really left the ice age. We’re just in a (brief — it’s only been a few thousand years) interglacial. The earth has been cool for a long time.
