BUSH AS A CRIMINAL, ETC.

Bush is defending himself as though the charge is that he is a sort of sneak thief. He points out how he has briefed Congress on his wiretapping and so forth and wants us to buy this as evidence he is innocent. No! He is a different and worse kind of criminal. He is a political criminal, a usurper of our rights, and a claimant to judge for himself what the law is and to say to hell with the courts. If he is so innocent let us hear his case before the Senate in a public impeachment trial.

Hey, end of year movies his year have been bad. King Kong and New World are boring. I haven't seen a real good movie since Capote. Backing up, KK might is worth and econ hour ticket just to watch Jack Black. Tristan and Isolde is not too bad but not great.

ASSASSINATION AS A WAR TACTIC

The Bush gang strategy of lopping off the enemy's head in hope the snake will die is quite foolish. And dangerous for us all. This tactic makes Bush himself and any innocents who may be at his side targets. I would not be in the least surprised to pick up the paper(or turn on the computer) and find Bush has been blown to hell. I just hope he takes none of my loved ones with him.

Who could ever have dreamed we would be led by such an arrogant pack of liars, torturers, and general law breakers. What a slap in the face to the good people who voted for them. Of course, the not-so-good people who voted for them should be condemned in the same terms as they.

"YOUNG MAN"

You can be sure of this. If you are addressed by anyone as, "young man," you are either too young to be a man or too old to be young.
