Well there have been some reforms in Kuwait. I think women are now allowed to drive. W is clealy a dolt*. His biography underscores this.

*(in these times of war we all must seem to add that our views of the man is not a treasonous undermining of the values of freedom we treasure in our nation)

Dolt is too simplistic an explaination. He is the product of wealthy priviledge that promotes sub standard people progressively through positions that are undeserved.

The latest logical proposition from SHrub is to raise the national debt ceiling. THis is kinda like someone who is maxed out on three credit cards solving the issue by ordering a new one, a piece of fiscal madness from any perspective of fiduciary balance. Worse, justifying it on the grounds that doing this proves you are even more credit-worthy, since you now have four credit cards to abuse into bankruptcy. That means more credit, right? Proves you're a good risk, sure!

But he has it all explained with the following deathless reasoning:

The Journal notes up high that President Bush sent a letter to House leaders urging them to raise the federal debt ceiling, which, Bush said, is the patriotic thing to do: "As we fight for freedom, we must not imperil the full faith and credit of the United States government."

Anyone detect any newspeak in the proposition that we should worsen our national financial profile on the grounds that it would imperil our national 'faith and credit' not to do so?

What planet are we on here, folks?

The Bush family only talks funny when they don't care what they're saying. Listen to them talk about big oil, the army, or re-writing the Constitution and they sound almost normal. Crazed, but normal.

Best of Yogi Berra: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

W. isn't clever enough to have come up with that one. It's almost a koan (one of those eastern/ Bhuddist(?) mind-stretchers like "what is the sound of one hand clapping?").

W. is just a grievous blot on our political history, and extremely scary, given that his oil-money crony-ism is going to prevent any effective environmental measures for at least a couple more years, and in fact going to keep worsening our polluted biosphere at a suicidal rate, all the while with that nasty self-congratulatory smirk on his monkey face.

Other than that, of course, and his mangled speech, he's a great guy. And he always speaks very highly of me, too, although we've agreed not to exchange any gifts this year.

So, it's not ok for one president(Clinton) to "get it on" in the Oval office, but, it was ok for another(Harding) to do it in a closet with a maid. Depends on whose ox is gored. Anyone who has traveled outside the USA knows that we are a laughing stock with our hangups around sex. I actually know someone,(a republican) who firmly believes that Clintons sexcapades are way more serious in terms of damage to the country than was Iran-Contre, Arms for hostages, and Watergate. I aked if she was aware of what Dubbya is up to in lowering the air quality standards so the old inefficient power plants in the mid west can, not only continue to pollute the air that WE breathe, but, in fact, make it worse? No answer. All she said was, "I'm bloodied, but unbowed." She is the type who would vote for Jack the ripper if he were running as a republican. GAWD, I cant stand that kind of blind, unthinking party loyalty. Doug, my friend, Dubbya was a doofus before 9/11, and he is still a doofus. How can you fail to see that??

It's all part of the great underground terror exchange -- not a new commodity, but one which has been making dough for newspapers and politicians since pre-history, I reckon; substitute bogeymen for probabilities and replace analysis with a buncha knee-jerk responses to scary rhetoric and bingo!! ya get a captive population offering you 60% of their sweat if you'll just make them dustbunnies and scary pictures go away...pleeeze???

Interesting silence! :<) Couldn't be the wind blowing a bit too close to the bone, now?
