Wanna know why we're at war? Here's a nice little item from Fortune Magazine (not some wacko web site) that may help to explain why we like war so much ... what the hell, war makes people rich ... filthy freakin' rich.

This is a long read -- too long to include in an e-mail --  the first two paragraphs are pretty eye-opening.

It explains what the Carlyle Group is, who's getting rich from it, what kind of dirty sh*t these soul-less asswipes will get into for the almighty buck, and how the rest of the world gets screwed by it.

Thanks Chip. Gee, that article was written almost a year ago.  I wonder why none of the news networks did an hour long special on it, as they did on Papa Bush (CNN), Endless Hollywood stars biographies (MSNBC), or the Anniversary of the Clinton Impeachment (E!)? Left wing media, my foot.


"President Bush this week unveiled his plan to grant 100,000 illegal aliens jobs here in the United States. I believe they call it 'the draft.'" —Craig Kilborn

"NASA said the rover on Mars discovered a muddy black liquid. If it's oil, some little green men are about to get their asses kicked." —Craig Kilborn


Bush's Education Plan Gets Mixed Grades on Anniversary
Washington Post - Jan 8, 2004
...The request for kindergarten-through-12th-grade education will be $36.7 billion, up from $24.8 billion in President Bill Clinton's last budget. The budget will ask for $1.26 billion for reading programs, four times the $286 million in Clinton's last budget, according to the White House.

On the way back to Washington, Bush stopped to raise $1 million for his reelection in Palm Beach County, Fla., where a flawed ballot design contributed to Florida's disputed election outcome in 2000.
 

I wonder how much of the education money is going into the pockets of his brother, Neil Bush?  Bush made quite a huge increase in education spending from the Clinton days -- were are the successful results?
