And yet, I'm not satisfied

I'm kind of busy with work right now, so I can't really get into the details of this story about the Iraqi government meeting U.S. benchmarks except to say ... well, bullshit.

From AP:

The White House sees the progress in a particularly positive light, declaring in a new assessment to Congress that Iraq's efforts on 15 of 18 benchmarks are "satisfactory" — almost twice of what it determined to be the case a year ago.

Wait for it ... waaaait for it ...

The May 2008 report card, obtained by the Associated Press, determines that only two of the benchmarks — enacting and implementing laws to disarm militias and distribute oil revenues — are unsatisfactory.

Oh — IS THAT ALL?!

OK, now that I'm good and pissed — back to work. Oh, one more thing: Is it just me, or does anyone else remember getting a "satisfactory" on your report card meaning you weren't doing so hot?

Do I know you? I know a Lisa, but she's from Dorkus Island ...

And I've barely had enough time to update the other blog! And it's not exactly like I get a lot of feedback here (bums!).

But yeah, I've been neglecting this poor thing — I'll update soon. Hey, aren't we supposed to have dinner this week?

Nah must be another Lisa.

I heard something about a dinner but it's on a work night for me and B-don.
