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.

It happened once, it could happen again: President Bush sinks billions into war in the Middle East at the expense of the economy at home and wonders why the old Go-to-War ploy doesn't keep them in office.
The current Pres. Bush is pretending that the economy is in good shape, but of course it's not. I don't know what they're putting in his coffee to make him think things are all right. The Ny Times report on the Bush press conference says:
Meanwhile increasing numbers of Americans are either unemployed or underemployed. The only ones doing really well are the Kellogg, Brown and Root boys.

The Bush wars and the economy
It happened once, it could happen again: President Bush sinks billions into war in the Middle East at the expense of the economy at home and wonders why the old Go-to-War ploy doesn't keep them in office.
The current Pres. Bush is pretending that the economy is in good shape, but of course it's not. I don't know what they're putting in his coffee to make him think things are all right. The Ny Times report on the Bush press conference says:
...he hailed American economic progress in recent months, reaffirmed his faith in keeping the dollar strong and dismissed concern over soaring deficits, insisting that he was "going to maintain spending discipline".... I must take issue with that word keeping. From where I sit, the dollar has been steadily eroding since Bush took office. I keep tabs on it via my monthly Canadian web hosting bill, which was $12.72 in April, 2002 and is now up to $15 a month. [Excellent folks at Baremetal.com]
