…do as the New Yorkers do.<\/p>\n

Ironic that the city most affected by September 11th voted less than 15% for George W. Bush. For those of you don’t know (as I have a lot of readership in South Africa and Amsterdam), Democrats closed congress yesterday, seeing an opportunity (after the Libby indictment) to finally hold some people in this administration accountable for various, shall we call them, ‘inconsistencies’…. Here’s some more:<\/p>\n

\tWhat Judy forgot: Your right to know – Los Angeles Times<\/a> — if the indictment and research could have happened when it was supposed to, over a year ago (and was not obstructed by members of the White House and Republican party), George W Bush would not be president today.<\/p>\n

Rove’s Future Role Is Debated<\/a> — that in mind, what is up with this Rove character.?<\/p>\n

CBS News | Poll: Approval Ratings Compared | November 2, 2005 22:00:08<\/a> — the polls say that Bush is way less popular than anyone ‘cept Nixon, and that way more people want him impeached than did want Clinton (who, tho people tend to forget, was impeached; I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I prefer a president who gets BJs and lies, to one who goes to war based on lies….).<\/p>\n

Here’s a closer look at the most important numbers from the above poll<\/a>. When on earth will the mainstream media catch up? I understand that Fox news is fair and balanced<\/i> and so I cannot expect them to say anything that would ever harm their candidate, but where is everyone else?<\/p>\n

Carter on a morning show.<\/a> President Carter once had an administration who lied – he asked his entire cabinet to resign. I guess Bush has trouble firing people loyal to him. Cover up + loyal to president = not so honest president?<\/p>\n

I’m not sure why it is that, just because of the divisiveness of this nation, Dems and Reps think their candidate is always right; we have to follow blindly. No matter what world you live in, these guys committed treason, lied, went to war on lies, covered it up, and, as is becoming more clear to the general public, have the majority of the media in their pocket. My friend Jane says that I simply buy into too much liberal media, like CNN and the NY times — I just laughed and asked where this liberal media was, cuz I’d like to see it. Compared to her news station (Fox), George Bush is liberal media, so I guess I could see where she is confused about the other two.<\/p>\n

I think I’m going to run for president in 2008. Even if it don’t work, might be a neat art project. The first thing I’d like to do is go to war with Fox. They are a much bigger threat to the American way of life than Iraq was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
