Good Monday, dear readers. I hope you had a restful and entertaining weekend. Mine, alas, was ruined, as I had to scour the Internet trying to figure out the meaning of the phrase, "a general time horizon for meeting aspirational goals." This is what the White House announced Friday that President Bush would agree to in lieu of a "timetable" or "deadline" for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq. All this time, he was willing to commit, but lacked the semantical finessitude to express himself.
Sequestered in his office for weeks, the President pilfered his libarry [sic], settling on a book of risk management terminology, which included such words as "backwardation," "heteroskedasticity,"swaption," and Peek-a-Boo. Fearing that American citizens would think he made up those words, he went with something a little easier to peddle. You know, like "a general time horizon for meeting aspirational goals."
