Now that's much better....

Just a small blurb from the Boston paper, caught while scanning Google News: "The United States promised closer cooperation with the rest of the world...." This sounds so radically different from eight years of the U.S. told the rest of the world to go piss up a rope that it could fill hearts with joy and hope — if we didn't all remember something called Kyoto, which the U.S. pledged to join one year and then abandoned the next when administrations changed.


But the next Republican to take office (and it will happen, eventually) is still at least four years away, and for now, we can borrow the tagline from a Lowe's commercial and say to the rest of the world in a warm Gene Hackman voice: Let's build something together.
