Duh. Red Sox & Yankees. Now the only problem is where to put it, Yankee and Fenway, the offices of the GM's, the owners' places, or permanently attached to George Steinbrenner and connected to the BoSox of the moment...

Howard Dean and reality

Tony Blair and Jacques Chirac

George Bush and his brain?

Michael Moore and Ann Coulter

And Bush doesn't need a hotline to his own brain... that wouldn't help much. Just to anyone who realizes the government should not be run as a pork-dispensing my guy right or wrong fraternity.

On a somewhat related note, earlier today Pakistan tested its first cruise missile, without informing India. This would seem to violate their new agreement, which is less than one week old. But Pakistan claims since this was a guided missile, it is not covered by the agreement. While I am no military expert, does anyone know of an "unguided" missile?

The agreement between Pakistan and India covered ballistic missiles, not "guided" or "unguided" missles, as KXB suggests above. Thus, Pakistan claims that testing a cruise missile, which follows terrain rather than using a ballistic trajectory, without notifying India was not a violation of the agreement. It does seem to violate the spirit of the agreement, as well as the spirit of the hot-line project. But that's the point of the extended dialog...both sides need to figure out how to build confidence between themselves and the norms of behavior.

Dan,

I'm not sure you noticed. But the Pakistanis just conducted a missile test, without using that red phone.

That was a cruise missile, they say, not a ballistic one and hence does not quite require them ring the hotline. Splitting hairs, of course.
