Two good things

Here are two funny quotes from today.
From John McCain:

“World history is often made in remote, obscure countries. It is being made
in Georgia today."

As Yglesias notes, this is not correct. But what I like is the idea that an entire nation could be "remote" and "obscure". Like most countries, Georgia is actually located next to several other nations (for example: Russia). It is only remote in the sense that it would be very far away from you if you were standing very far away from it. This is also true of all things.

But is it obscure? No. In addition to the millions of people who live in or near this country, approximately several million more people knew about Georgia from such sources as school, maps, and noticing things. Obviously McCain wasn't doesn't waste his time with any of those.

The other quote stands alone. It's from Michael Mukasey, America's worst Attorney General, in reference to the frequent criminal behavior at the Justice Department during this administration:

"Not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime."
