When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

4. WITHDRAW HAND FROM BAG taking care not to break pretzel, drop pretzel, lacerate hand on edges of bag, grind pretzel into own eye, smack head on door jamb, press thigh against red-hot coals, or drive meat skewers through fleshy parts of upper arm.
From PRETZEL EATING IN SAFETY AND COMFORT
Bush is going down. As soon as they start making fun of him, he's a goner. It means the sacred respect bubble has burst and a free-for-all can ensue, which in his case is inevitable, since he is such a loser president. He even makes Nixon look good.

- Germany's mass-circulation Bild, the daily of choice for blue-collar Germans, also asked if there wasn't more to the story: "Has the president's alcohol problem been taken up again?"
- The incident proved Bush is "a man of the people," London's Daily Telegraph said in an editorial. "This is exactly the sort of accident that befalls Homer Simpson, night after night."
- "Even in his wildest dreams, Osama bin Laden couldn't have managed what one tiny pretzel did this weekend," began a story in the Berliner Zeitung daily. "According to reports from the White House, it not only brought the mightiest man in the world to his knees but flat out on the floor." World sampling story by Marjorie Miller, LA TIMES
