Oh my god, did you smell the one that W cut during the speech...

(BTW: Look at Condi's hands. Is that the most uptight woman you've ever seen?)

2. Probably what the captain of the Titanic looked like...
...about 30 seconds before they hit the berg.

4. In terms of body language...
does anyone know what it is supposed to indicate when someone is holding their thumbs, the way both are doing in this picture? Or maybe she is just restraining herself from clocking someone??? Just curious.

5. I was at a trade show once that brought in some famous palm reader

She actually read hands and the way you held your hands. The way Condi holds her hands indicates that she is a major basket case at the moment and probably very stressed from having to lie so much.

6. What Does a "Thumbs Up" Mean in Iraq?

Iraqis are giving passing Americans the "thumbs up" sign, which the troops interpret as a symbol of support. But many veteran travelers insist that the gesture is a crass Middle Eastern insult. How should coalition forces take those skyward thumbs?

Depends on how media savvy those Iraqi bystanders may be. It's true that "thumbs up" traditionally translates as the foulest of Iraqi insults—the most straightforward interpretation is "Up yours, pal!" The sign has a similarly pejorative meaning in parts of West Africa, Russia, Australia, Iran, Greece, and Sardinia, according to Roger E. Axtell's book Gestures: The Do's and Taboos of Body Language Around the World. So, it's possible that the ostensibly cheering Iraqis are, in fact, silently voicing their displeasure.

7. Considering the fact that the dude next to him
is holding up a picture of Saddam looking very happy, I would guess they are saying fuck you.

8. "the rehearsed or practiced liar...will try to control (hand) gestures"
On the other hand, the rehearsed or practiced liar, who has planned their deceit ahead of time, will try to control gestures.

The Hands Have it - Excessive Gesturing and Adaptors
When people lie spontaneously, they tend to spend more time gesturing with hands and using adapters, such as scratching the body or playing with a pen than someone who is just nervous. If you ask Sara in payroll, why your check is so late, and then she picks up the beanie baby from her desk and begins to play with it as she says she has worked on this for hours and she has no idea, she may be subconsciously saying something else. If this juggling seems excessive, and especially if it is combined with other cues of deception, you can bet that she’s lying. On the other hand, the rehearsed or practiced liar, who has planned their deceit ahead of time, will try to control gestures. Spot a liar by their excessive gesturing. Don’t look like a liar by keeping your gestures natural.

10. Told to go stand 'over there", say nothing unless called upon ...
Colin and Condi ponder the downsides of having compromised their values; the impact of Murphy's Law on their lives; being part of group 'Peter principle' syndrome; being living proof of what goes around comes around; and, the humiliation of being part of the the most corrupt administration in America's history - but, they both conclude: well, at least, we made a lot of money ...

11. Colin and Connie are both thinking, simultaneously, "What a turd!
The little fuck says he's going to start going off the teleprompter
unless we give him more say in his speeches. But everything he
wants to add is garbage. The fool couldn't rub two ideas together.
But Karl's gonna skin us if we let him go off the prepared speeches.
We're freakin' screwed."
