Maybe it's time to get away from the negative and focus on the positive things the Bush administration has done for us in the past 6 years. Oh my God, I've just come up with another "Shortest Books in the World" title! - Grant Gerver, www.seriouskidding.com

Westerman rode out Hurricane Katrina in her 19th-century house. So terrible was
the experience that she wanted two things before the 2006 season arrived: a
backup power source and a gun. "I got a 6,000-watt generator and the cutest
little Smith & Wesson, snub-nose .38 you ever saw," she boasted. "I've never
been more confident." People across New Orleans are arming themselves — not only
against the possibility of another storm bringing anarchy,
but against the violence that has engulfed the metropolitan area in the 19
months since Katrina, making New Orleans the nation's murder capital.

must stop saying President Bush hasn't asked Americans to sacrifice for the war
on terror. On the contrary, he's asked us to sacrifice something enormous. Our
civil rights. - Bill Maher

Rovian theory suggests the following: The eight U.S. attorneys were fired not only to purge the Justice Department of some prosecutors who were insufficiently willing to use the power of their offices to attack Democrats and protect Republicans --- but also to install favored people who wouldn't have such scruples. And, thanks to a provision snuck into law by a Bush administration henchman (who has since been granted a job as -- you guessed it -- a U.S. attorney) there would be none of those pesky safeguards to prevent those jobs going to unqualified hacks.

Subject: The mission
Hi Lisa,
I think I got lost over the last couple of years. I thought the mission
(our job) was to:
* Disarm Iraq's WMD's
* Remove Saddam Hussein from power
* Allow Iraqi's free elections
* Give the power back to the Iraqi government and people
Best I can tell, all that's been done but I still hear W and Cheney and
Tony Snow talking about not leaving until the job is done.
Here's the confusing part. What is the job and how do we know when it's
done??
Just curious.
Jonathan
The mission/job was getting the oil. Wasn't it?
My guess the job is done when Bush pumps out all of the oil.

This image provided by NASA shows Saturn's moon Titan, left, as it's shadow falls on Saturn with it's rings on edge to Earth and the Sun. These edge-on alignments of the rings occur roughly once every 15 years. Astronomers have woven NASA Hubble Space Telescope images of Saturn, its rings, and several of its moons into three movies. Each movie highlights unique times in the planet's 30-year waltz around the Sun. Photo/NASA
