Six Months

warBy VictorM: In George Bush’s America, everything is possible six months* from now.

So, six months* from now…
  • I will win the Mister Universe contest.
  • I will set a world record in the Ironman race.
  • My ankle will be more talked about than David Beckham’s.
  • DailyKos and Atrios will be begging me to add them to my Blogroll (not realizing they already are)
*six months = The period of time required to bring peace, stability, and democracy to an Arab country. The term "six months" is a loose collection of two words that do not reflect a conventional time period. It's more or less an estimate that could vary by as much as 5 decades but most likely means "never".

Comments:
Reminds me of that line in O Brother, Where Art Thou? when Clooney's character is haggling with the grocery clerk about getting some Dapper Dan hair gel. The clerk said he'd have to order it, and that every place where it could be shipped it from was two weeks away. Clooney responds:

Well, ain't this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!

Six months from anytime.
 
Or like the movie Money Pit. When will the house be ready? In two weeks!

Of course, Money Pit was a Hollywood fantasy...
 
In Bush & Co.'s calculations, time is a perfectly elastic commodity, driven by market forces and subject to change without notice by The Decider.

Well, as long as Dick Cheney's OK with it, anyway.
