You know the 2004 presidential contest is heating up when the potential nominees start dragging out the mind-bogglingly silly policy proposals for their administration in never-never-land. . .

In a searing critique, Clark accuses the Bush administration of carrying out a wrenching turn in U.S. foreign policy away from traditional American principles. He cites what he says has been an overemphasis on unilateralism and overreliance on the U.S. military to pursue the notion of "a new American empire."
It’s important when reading Clark’s views on America that he believes it was “founded on a principle of progressive taxation.” I must have missed that one along with George Washington encouraging the United States to enter into entangling alliances with foreign powers rather than charting its own course.
Also earlier this week, he announced that he believed in time travel.
I think I just realized something about Wesley Clark. He seems to be living in a different historical timeline then the rest of us. Could be it be that Mr. Clark is really a visitor from an alternate timeline in which America was founded on a principle of progressive taxation and entangling alliances? Maybe he’s really shifting between different quantum realities like Worf did on TNG “Parallels” in which case his understanding of American history might be true . . .in his alternate reality. It could also explain how he goes from saying he could have voted for the use of force against Iraq on one day and the next day says he would have voted against it.
Two different Clarks from two different timelines each shifting between different quantum realities.
It could explain a lot.
"Focusing our humanitarian and developmental efforts through a single, responsible department will help us bring the same kind of sustained attention to alleviating deprivation, misery, ethnic conflict and poverty that we have brought to the problem of warfare"
Sure focusing efforts thorough a single RESPONSIBLE department, might be great. But I think he is actually proposing another federal department.
