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.

"My good friend Tony Blair" told Liberal politician Shirley Williams (aka the Baroness Williams of Crosby), who told an audience in Brighton, a report of which was told by Jack Malverny of the London Times, which was quoted in BushWatch recently:
When Abby Hoffmann spoke at the state college here in the 80s, he remarked that the (French) word "entrepreneur" literally tranlates as "enter and take." That was funny, but actually the word is derived from 'entreprendre' and means to undertake or embark upon (an enterprise), aka a start-up

Bushlexia anecdote passed around among the Brits
