Since when is a joke an "official secret?"

When setting up this blog, I mulled over the "political correctness" of including a link to the al-Jazeera site, but the news over Bush's "joke" Blair about bombing the Qutar offices (and the subsequent muzzling of the story in Britain) has proven it to be not only a valuable, but apparently powerful enough source of news that it's worthy of silencing.

C'mon, George, if it was so funny, why don't you share the joke with the rest of us? Maybe Tony didn't get it, but you know that weird limey sense of humor. Anyway, things have been pretty serious lately and what's the good of having a class clown for President if we can't get a laugh from him once in awhile? (OK, I admit that the door bit you pulled in Beijing was pretty good.)

Oh, and AJ, in case you know any folks who are interested in playing a similar "joke" on the Fox News offices in NY (1211 Avenue of the Americas), here's a picture you can pass along that might help.

Don't worry Bill, it's just a satiric "rift."
