Went to the one night showing of this documentary on the flooding of New Orleans tonight. It was completely different from the anniversary of Katrina reruns on the news this week. "The Big Uneasy" The most notable things, The Army Corp of Engineers is one screwed up agency and the people of...

The Shrub screwed up part of the war on terror by being a barbarian. Seems that the Europeans do not want to extradite some suspected heavy-weight terrorists because the suspects might be treated inhumanely before and after any conviction for a crime...

Truther tinfoil hatters like to suggest GW Bush and/or Dick Cheney ordered 9/11 and a coverup so Bush could assume dictatorial power. If they went through all that effort, why would they willingly step aside when Obama was elected? I lost count the number of times Truthers predicted that Bush...

POLL: Is Palin actually stupider than GWB?

The title is pretty self explanatory. It seems as if everybody forgot how horrible Bush and Cheney were, and now hate Obama only? I personally dislike both Bush/Cheney and Obama. Bush and Cheney for their disdain and disregard for the rule of law, and misuse of executive power; their disdain...

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7092435.ece I can see where this might be more appropriate for the Politics forum, but if detaining "terrorists," known to be innocent, to establish a link between 9/11 and Iraq isn't a conspiracy theory, I don't know what is...

Bush can't keep his big mouth shut and blabs about the conspiracy live on TV! :rolleyes: Its amazing how they can be so genius and lucky to carry out the 911 attacks and then just can't help telling everyone about it like retards. USnxe7hxP4I (this is sarcasm obviously, I'm not a truther...

"A case in which a woman had sued Winfrey and the former first couple -- as well as three Charleston physicians -- after she claimed they all had conspired to implant a camera with wire sensors into her with the intent of reincarnation has been dismissed." Kanawha Circuit Court case number...

Anyone miss him yet?

I guess the correct answer is probably; "there hasn't been enough time to tell yet", but I'd be broadly sympathetic to the 10 reasons listed in this Daily Telegraph opinion pience...

President Obama takes the heat President Bush did not Why the double standard?

Interesting article. It's all too easy to forget about the Briton: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1209/31049.html

There's this quote kicking around that I suspect is bogus: "If the people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." The only thing I've found that suggests the origin of this quote is here...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090406/ap_on_go_pr_wh/eu_obama This is what Bush should have said. Too bad its taken 8 years. Of course, this is going to piss off a lot of Israelis and Neo-Zionists. I expect them to start publishing articles about how hateful and racist Islam is. But no one...

What certain people seem to forget or ignore is that President Bush gave huge tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans while cutting social programs for those who needed them most, encouraging the destruction of the middle class.

Harper's just published this article on the operating memoranda Bush had his henchmen draft to cover any activities Bush had planned to do or actually had carried out that were illegal. The memoranda were for CYA. Even though they had to have known these things were illegal, by putting out the...

Ex-VP Dick Cheney outraged President Bush didn't grant 'Scooter' Libby full pardon Apparantly Cheney didn't always get his way with Bush. I have to say that this is one thing I respect Bush for. At least he didn't just pardon his cronies or powerful well-connected people (like Marc Rich)...

From Vanity Fair This quote about Cheney from a Bush Admin insider stands out: I had forgotten that Cheney was in charge of Bush's VP search committee. Was George Bush just a weak character, skillfully manipulated by a Svengali-like Dick Cheney into doing what Cheney wanted him to do? Isn't...

Watching an interview with him the other day, Bush said he will be writing a book soon after leaving office. Can't wait.

Seems to me, at least for the next ten years, W. will be reviled as a guy who had his heart in the right place (some will debate this) but was surrounded by idealogues who steered him in a bad direction. He got bad advice and followed it, and when he might have listened to better advice he chose...

gwbfarewell@gmail.com So please do.

CNN.com has a report by Bill Frist that makes this claim: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/15/frist.bush/index.html Mostly through funding AIDS treatments in Africa, according to the article. But, I wonder how many he killed through pushing "Abstinence Only". Discuss.

Bush opens up about: La-Z-Boys Steven Seagall movies Area 51 The Kennedy assassination Pork rinds, the Food Network, roasted crickets on a stick The media Chris Matthews The "base" The big things, the important decisions Presidential pardons Link.

It's good to know that with that damned cowboy ChimpBusHitler on his way out, the world is regaining its respect for America and her leaders. Photo caption: Link. Gee, he's not even in office yet.

Story ANyone suprised that the Israelis really wanted to do this or that Bush denied their request? I'm a little suprised and concerned about the loose lips on this supposedly "secret" request. Israelis will have have to think twice about what they tell the US president in the future, because...

"I'll be frank with you. I don't spend a lot of time really worrying about short-term history. I guess I don't worry about long-term history, either, since I'm not going to be around to read it." --- George W. Bush And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say...

IIRC, New Orleans didn't fare too well, either. In any event, this is one of those non surprising pieces about the winding down of the Bush administration, with some interesting zingers. Ouch.

Just when I honestly thought Bush had no more power to outrage me... Today Bush took a second look at the case of Isaac Toussie, a pardon he had issued yesterday. It had come under wide criticism because Toussie's father had been a large contributor to the Republican Party. "(B)ased on...

It's called Sock and Awe! So far there have been over 44,000,000 shoes successfully thrown at Bush. And which country has the most "hits"? The United States. Enjoy :) ETA: My personal best is 12 hits in 30 seconds - top that!
