It would really be nice to see this played a lot in the USA but I am sure it's considered too controversial here. If Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth couldn't shake up the ignoramuses in our government nothing will.

Biden: Blame immigration woes on Mexico - Yahoo! News
The description that Biden gives Mexico pretty well describes the good old USA too.
Biden: Blame immigration woes on Mexico - Yahoo! News: "'Mexico is a country that is an erstwhile democracy where they have the greatest disparity of wealth,' Biden said. 'It is one of the wealthiest countries in the hemisphere and because of a corrupt system that exists in Mexico, there is the 1 percent of the population at the top, a very small middle class and the rest is abject poverty.'"

Daddy bush can't stand the criticism--who the fuck cares?
None of the bush crime family ever earned an honest dime in their life nor spilled a drop of blood in any of the wars they've had their fingers in. Daddy bush needs to head on back to Houston and have a nice cup of SHUT THE FUCK UP. The American public and the rest of the world have had enough of this clan for a lifetime.
Elder Bush takes on son's Arab critics - Yahoo! News: "We do not respect your son. We do not respect what he's doing all over the world,' a woman in the audience bluntly told Bush after his speech.
Bush, 82, appeared stunned as others in the audience whooped and whistled in approval.
A college student told Bush his belief that U.S. wars were aimed at opening markets for American companies and said globalization was contrived for America's benefit at the expense of the rest of the world. Bush was having none of it.
'I think that's weird and it's nuts,' Bush said. 'To suggest that everything we do is because we're hungry for money, I think that's crazy. I think you need to go back to school.'"

Embittered Insiders Turn Against Bush
The chickens come home to roost. The blame game continues.
"Forty-three months later, the cakewalk looks more like a death march, and Adelman has broken with the Bush team. He had an angry falling-out with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld this fall. He and Cheney are no longer on speaking terms. And he believes that "the president is ultimately responsible" for what Adelman now calls "the debacle that was Iraq."
Embittered Insiders Turn Against Bush - washingtonpost.com: "As a member of the Defense Policy Board, he wrote in The Washington Post before the Iraq war that it would be 'a cakewalk.'"

Howard Dean Defends 50-State Strategy, Democratic Chairman Howard Dean Defends 50-State Strategy
Howard Dean Defends 50-State Strategy, Democratic Chairman Howard Dean Defends 50-State Strategy, Assails 'Old Democratic Party' - CBS News: "'We are going to do the 50-state strategy for the next 150 years so we can be the dominant party power in this country again,' he said. 'You can't be the powerful party in this country who controls the government unless you are willing to let the people control you. And the only way you can do that is ask everybody for their vote, understand everybody is our boss even if they vote for you or not.'"

Counting the Vote, Badly
If there ever was a no-brainer this is it. If Congress does not fix this problem before the 2008 election we're screwed.
Counting the Vote, Badly - New York Times: "Fortunately, that may be about to change. With the Democrats now in control of both houses, there is an excellent chance of passing tough electronic voting legislation. Representative Rush Holt, Democrat of New Jersey, had more than 200 co-sponsors for a strong electronic voting bill before this month’s election, and support is likely to grow in the new Congress. In the Senate, Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who will be chairwoman of the Rules and Administration Committee, which oversees elections, plans to develop a similar bill.Fortunately, that may be about to change.

Baker's panel has 'no magic bullet' to end the agony
Bailing junior out is nothing new to daddy Bush so its no surprise that calling in the cavalry, i.e. James Baker et.al. to somehow provide an excuse for junior to move on from the mess he's made and fuck something else up. That's the story of his life so why should Iraq be any different.
Baker's panel has 'no magic bullet' to end the agony | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited: "The Democratic victory last week may help to lead to a consensus if it makes the White House more open to compromises, but whether there is general agreement or not, the bottom line stressed by Mr Baker is that there are no good options left in Iraq, just bad options and worse ones. "

That warm fuzzy feeling is coming back.
Kinda wants to make you feel like singing this great song again. Maybe Aretha Franklin's "Respect" for the people of this great country will be coming back also with a fresh wind coming to D.C.
Baghdad's 'missing' billions
Bush handed out Freedom Medals to all the flunkies handling this mess.
BBC NEWS | Business | Baghdad's 'missing' billions: "So what have we got? Allegations of impropriety in the awarding of contracts in the US, chaos at the occupation authority that ran post-war Iraq and large sums of Iraqi oil money disappearing apparently without any record of how it was spent.
And all this on America's watch. "

World Welcomes Shift in U.S. Politics
It may be gridlock for the next two years but at least the brakes have been applied to this nightmare.
World Welcomes Shift in U.S. Politics - NEWS - INTERNATIONAL - Comcast.net: "In an extraordinary joint statement, more than 200 Socialist members of the European Parliament hailed the American election results as 'the beginning of the end of a six-year nightmare for the world.'"

Bush Says U.S. Pullout Would Let Iraq Radicals Use Oil as a Weapon
They must be playing 'spin the bottle' in the whitehouse to see what the excuse of the week will be. They haven't came up with 'they're sitting on OUR oil' yet but if the truth were known that is probably 99% accurate.
Bush Says U.S. Pullout Would Let Iraq Radicals Use Oil as a Weapon - washingtonpost.com: "As he barnstorms across the country campaigning for Republican candidates in Tuesday's elections, Bush has been citing oil as a reason to stay in Iraq. If the United States pulled its troops out prematurely and surrendered the country to insurgents, he warns audiences, it would effectively hand over Iraq's considerable petroleum reserves to terrorists who would use it as a weapon against other countries."

Minister Admits Buying Drug but Denies Tryst - New York Times
When will these gay bashers with direct ties to the whitehouse get the message that it's not going to work for them. Gannongate, Foleygate and now Haggardgate should send a message to these evangelical christians that bashing minorities and injecting religion into politics is not in their best interest. Another reason for more separation of church and state not less.

Gay preacher has direct line to the whitehouse.
These holier-than-thou types are getting exposed at a very appropriate time. I wonder what Tony Snow's spin will be on this outing. Blame it on Kerry?
Rocky Mountain News: Local: "A former gay male escort is going public on the eve of Colorado voting on two ballot issues relating to gay marriage, claiming a three-year sexual relationship with a prominent Colorado Springs pastor who has been an outspoken opponent of same-sex unions. "

bush The Great Divider
Unfortunately we will have to endure this ignorant asshole for another two years. But after the new congress convenes, let the investigations begin.
The Great Divider - New York Times: "When the president of the United States gleefully bathes in the muck to divide Americans into those who love their country and those who don’t, it is destructive to the fabric of the nation he is supposed to be leading."
