Note to get a day started: Armenian Genocide Resolution

-Congress hearing about the 1915 Turkish-Armenian War and will probably pass a resolution to call it what it was: genocide. White House urging caution (don't do it!) because of current need for good relations with Turkey. Hmmm, if you don't like the way things are, well, just say they aren't that way; no body will know the difference or say anything if they do. Defending the 'head-in-sand-tell-it-like-it-isn't': our own Dan Burton:

"This is crazy," remarked Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.), who once shot a watermelon as part of his probes of Bill Clinton. "We're in the middle of two wars and we've got troops over there that are at risk, and we're talking about kicking the one ally that's helping us over there in the face."

I hadn't heard about Burton shooting watermelons. Intrepid investigator of I don't know what.

Guess that will have to do to get things started. Time to get moseying over to the golf course...
