An 'apology' to my conservative friends By Mark Shields I now owe a number of my conservative colleagues a public apology. During the fall of 2000, many of them bluntly warned that if I did not wholeheartedly back Republican George W. Bush, the following terrible things would happen: The Dow-Jones average would lose 4,000 points; the nation's unemployment rate would climb higher than it had been in eight years; historic U.S. budget surpluses would be replaced by budget deficits as far as the eye could see; and worse. Well, I have to admit that a) I did not back Bush in the fall of 2000 and b) every dire change they predicted has come to pass. [CNN] Read the details and weep. In less than two years we have seen no leadership from Bush on any dometic affairs. He has failed in every sense of the word. He gutted the surplus, worked hard to protect corporate interest, and put forth a plan to turn our country into a network of spys (Even the House Republican's leader couldn't stomach that plan, and killed it). We have a President and VP who are so out of touch with the rage of the American people over the rape of our finances by the Corporate Mafia.

But the next day when the farmer drove up, he told Kenny, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey died." Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back." "Can't do that," explained the Farmer. "I went and spent it already." "OK then, just unload the donkey," said Kenny. The farmer looked at Kenny quizzically, "Whatcha gonna do with him?" "I'm going to raffle him off." "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" exclaimed the Farmer. "Sure I can," replied Kenny. "Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead." A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What ever happened with that dead donkey?" "I raffled him off," answered Kenny. "I sold 500 tickets at two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898.00." "Didn't anyone complain?" asked the Farmer. "Just the guy who won, said Kenny. "So I gave him his two dollars back." Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron. This came in email this morning, thanks Ron...mj 9:40:37 AM
