Any truth to the rumour that Magellan has this one on a plaque in his office?

Yeah, because then the foreign policy stuff wouldn't be so hard. I could just attack whoever I wanted. Oh wait, I get to do that anyway. Nevermind.

"You mean you want me to follow the law?" (Pause, drooling, pause) "Wait! I stopped an attack three years ago! All by myself! All because of me! Why should I approach Congress or the courts!?"

Once upon a time there was a thing called "democracy" without a king or an empire and against all dictators, one of the many objections of George W. Bush to Sadaam Hussein. As you are not advised to put 20# into a 10# bag, lest the side of the bag crack and tear up your groceries, many years of undergraduate and graduate education have apparently exceeded the learning capacity of GWB and he leaks like a bag of broken beer bottles. And then he reveals his future plans for our country, in what Freud might term a "versprecht," or spoken Freudian slip, which is telling.

There you go- the TRUTH,for once-out of the horses patooties mouth.

innnn the lannndddd of the freeeeee!

George W. Bush sat in the back of the classroom, in his bombardier jacket, spitting tobacco in a Styrofoam cup. He let it be known he was well connected. His philosophy was poor people are poor because they are lazy. Randi Rhodes Show, www.AirAmericaRadio.com August 2004 Excerpt from President George Bush and the Gilded Age, by Yoshi Tsurumi (Professor of International Business, Baruch College, the City University of New York ) Source: http://www.glocom.org/opinions/essays/20040301_tsur umi_president/ At Harvard Business School, thirty years ago, George Bush was a student of mine. I still vividly remember him. In my class, he declared people are poor because they are lazy. He was opposed to labor unions, social security, environmental protection, Medicare, and public schools. To him, the antitrust watch dog, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Securities Exchange Commission were unnecessary hindrances to free market competition. To him, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal was socialism.

Didn't sound like a blunder to me, that's the way he feels.

Well, it sounds like there's no way around it;you're gonna be in charge.

He got the first syllable correct.

O.K. that's a little scary.

Here's one that screeched through the media. Thank God he's not a dictator, although some would argue that he is.

Aren't you glad we've got him to serve as a beacon of freedom and democracy throughout the world?
