The War Party

Tonight's Daily Show ran the following footage from Bush's press conference where the president explained away the sluggish economy:

"I remember on our TV screens - I'm not suggesting which network did this, but it said 'March to war' every day from last summer until the spring. 'March to war, march to war, march.' That's not a very conducive environment for people to take risks when they hear 'march to war' all the time." (text here)

Cut to Jon Stewart: "Yeah, why were they doing that? It's not like some asshole was marching us to war."

Speaking of Jon St-- eh, why bother trying to segue? After reading Stoutdem's post about sharing a birthday with Patricia Schroeder, I thought about the potential of a party full of my birthday co-habitants:

Jon Stewart
Anna Nicole Smith
Paul Schafer
Randy Newman
Judd Nelson
Hope Lange
Ed Harris
Berry Gordy, Jr.
Alexander Godunov
Frederick Engels
William Blake

I figure Judd Nelson ends up in a fistfight with Engels and William Blake hooks up with Anna Nicole Smith.
