Just beginning to catch up with the news, Bush. The Bancruptcy bill. What a scam for the credit card business, no? Your Frist, blathering on about how this act promotes “personal responsibility.” Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson’s alleged victim’s mother, sobbing about everything. Enough said. Car bombs in Iraq, the worst attacks in weeks. More killed. U.S. contractor taken hostage. Popular revolts against the government in China. Your Delay, defiant. Dogs at his heels. But still pursuing “activist” judges in righteous rage over the “starving to death” of Terri Schiavo. White House thwarts Education Department investigation into Armstrong Williams paid shill scam. NRA convention in Houston this weekend: dealers pushing upgrades of killer weapons. The Atlanta Olympics bomber gloats about his achievements, killing innocent people in defense of the unborn. A certain Irony there? Steroids. Breast implants approved. Well, some of them. In some circumstances.
Let’s see, what else? Your Bolton, headed for nomination as UN Ambassador, despite clear evidence of his disdain for the U.N. and his arrogant abuse of employees. Another irony. And a thumb in the eye of the rest of the world's nations. Stocks headed south. Consumer confidence, the same. Israeli guards kill Palestinians. Turkish troops kill Kurds. Earthquakes followed by volcanic eruption in Indonesia: more to come? Oil-for-food arrests—-in Texas, Bush! Boy kills boy with baseball bat in Southern California. Another girl abducted. The French show signs of rejecting the EU constitution. Those Frenchies, Bush! Such chauvinists! Such xenophobes! Tut, tut. Your friend Blair going to the country for a new election. Five weeks! Did I hear that right, Bush? What I’d give for a five-week election cycle here in the U.S.!
Ah, yes, and I saw you on the television last night just glowing with the success of your administration. You’ve never been happier in your job, you say. Well, I'm sure glad to hear that you are. There’s a growing number of us out here aren’t quite so enchanted.

Peter,
I came across your site by accident while looking for some information on the Episcopal Church. I have to say that I've read a couple of your articles and have loved them. Your comments are right on!
I am still wondering how Bush got re-elected but then again, nothing surprises me given the fact how he and his officials played on some Americans' fear and prejudice towards gay people.
P.S. Do you think this new Bankruptcy law will be challenged in Court?
Glad you found me. And thanks for the welcome response. It would be nice to see a challenge, but who knows? Since you enjoy my entries, I do hope you'll pass on the URL to friends, as widely as possible. I'm looking to expand my readership!
