What about my calling Clinton a sociopath?  Are you going to rush to Clinton's defense as much as you rush to persecute Bush?

Well, I have a BA and made the Dean's List at one school and the President's Honors List at another.

I am not going to tell you what schools those were, but then I am not in the public eye.

Would it make you happy if I rushed to Clinton's defense?

Tell you what, I will agree with your statement that his college transcripts prove he is a genius, if you will agree with my statement that he has failed at, been mollycoddled and helped along by, or been bailed out by other people in every enterprise he has been involved in during his entire life.

Wasnt Kerry drafted?

Gee, if failing a test meant I didnt have to go shoot, in the words of Walter Sobchak, "the man in the black pajamas, a worthy adversary," I might not put much effort into passing the test.

Just me, could be wrong.

The inclusion of Jose Padilla brings the veracity of the rest of your quote into question.

As does a spoiled brat, or a con-man.

Treating the performance evaluation of our elected officials as a horserace is just plain dumb.

"Overall approval for Congress is 40 percent. The survey shows Bush's approval ratings remain in the mid-30 percent range, that a striking 39 percent strongly disapproves his handling of foreign policy and the war on terror, and that the public has scant hopes that the president and Congress can work together to solve the country's problems."

Look at their concrete results. A half million dead, and no prospects for reducing the carnage in sight. A war so stupid they needed to conspire to defraud Congress and the People to keep them from figuring out the con.

Even now, when The People have told Bush, "You can't escape your responsibility. You need to clean up your mess before you run away into historical obscurity." he's dicking around trying to score points by picking on "Free Labor", who are just shooting for the same things as "Free Markets" and "Free Capital".

With April 15 coming this weekend, don't forget to purchase your weapon of choice!   (Typically long guns for April 15, but hey, a good broadsword has its uses as well!)

I recently made a decision to also purchase something every Sept 11  as well.  

Come the revolution, we all need to be ready ;)

NEXT constitution, we need to make a couple little changes, but this one isn't bad.  It is just too bad we don't abide by a lot of it anymore.

A lot longer than 6 years.

Interesting line by Tom Dickenson this month in Rolling Stone about the Bush administrations drive to war against Iraq.

He called it the "Failing forward" approach.

According to a CNN-Gallup poll...
38% of Americans say they approve of how President Bush is handling his job



Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. JOB!  I misread  that.  I thought it read NOB. (sp).
 
I officially withdraw my vote then.
