[Political post.] Today President Bush gave Muhammad Ali (the boxer, not the founder of Pakistan) the Medal of Freedom. Aside from being a great boxer now struggling with Parkinson's, Muhammad Ali is also famous for refusing to fight in Vietnam. And going to jail for it. (He was later acquitted by the Supreme Court.)
For a guy who's sent so many people unwillingly to war, without having gone to the trouble of serving himself, that does seem a bit rich.
