QUOTE OF THE WEEKEND "Elvis Presley's death deprives our country of a part of itself. He was unique & irreplaceable. His music & his personality, fusing the styles of white country & black rhythm & blues, permanently changed the face of American popular culture. His following was immense & he was a symbol to people the world over, of the vitality, rebelliousness & good humor of his country. Or as James Brown once put it, 'he taught white America to get down.'" - - President Jimmy Carter (the day after Elvis died) THIS WEEKEND IN HISTORY August 16th 1887 -- Marcus Garvey lives, Jamaica. 1977 -- Elvis Presley dies ... or so we're told!!

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT: I attacked two countries. I spent the surplus and bankrupted the treasury. I shattered record for biggest annual deficit in history. I set economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12 month period. I set all-time record for biggest drop in the history of the stock market. I am the first president in decades to execute a federal prisoner. I am the first president in US history to enter office with a criminal record. In the first year in office I set the all-time record for most days on vacation by any president in US history. After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, I presided over the worst security failure in US history. I set the record for more campaign fundraising trips than any other president in US history. In my first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their jobs. I cut unemployment benefits for more out of work Americans than any president in US history. I signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution than any president in US history. I presided over the biggest energy crises in US history and refused to intervene when corruption was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in US history and refused to use the national reserves as past presidents have. I cut healthcare benefits for war veterans. I set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously take to the streets to protest me (15 million people), shattering the record for protest against any person in the history of mankind. I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history. Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history. (The 'poorest' multimillionaire, Condoleezza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her). I am the first president in US history to order a US attack and military occupation of a sovereign nation, and I did so against the will of the United Nations and the world community. I created the largest government department bureaucracy in the history of the United States. I set the all-time record for biggest annual budget spending increases, more than any president in US history. I am the first president in US history to have the United Nations remove the US from the human rights commission.

I removed more checks and balances, and have the least amount of congressional oversight than any presidential administration in US history. I rendered the entire United Nations irrelevant. I withdrew from the World Court of Law. I refused to allow inspectors access to US prisoners of war and by default no longer abide by the Geneva Conventions. I am the first president in US history to refuse United Nations election inspectors (during the 2002 US elections). I am the all-time US (and world) record holder for most corporate campaign donations. My biggest lifetime campaign contributor, who is also one of my best friends, presided over one of the largest corporate bankruptcy frauds in world history (Kenneth Lay, former CEO of Enron Corporation). I, with a policy of "disengagement," created the most hostile Israeli-Palestinian relations in at least 30 years. I am the first US president in history to have a majority of the people of Europe (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat to world peace and stability. I am the first US president in history to have the people of South Korea more threatened by the US than their immediate neighbor, North Korea. I failed to fulfill my pledge to get Osama Bin Laden "dead or alive." I failed to capture the anthrax killer who tried to murder the leaders of our country at the United States Capitol building. After 18 months I have no leads and zero suspects. In the 18 months following the 911 attacks I have successfully prevented any public investigation into the biggest security failure in the history of the United States. I removed more freedoms and civil liberties from Americans than any other president in US history. In a little over two years I created the most divided country in decades, possibly the most divided the US has ever been since the Civil War. I entered office with the strongest economy in US history and in less than two years turned every single economic category heading straight down. RECORDS AND REFERENCES: I have At least one conviction for drunk driving in Maine (Texas driving record has been erased and is not available). I was AWOL from National Guard and deserted the military during a time of war. I refuse to take drug test or even answer any questions about drug use. All records of my tenure as governor of Texas have been spirited away to my father's library, sealed in secrecy and are unavailable for public viewing. All records of any SEC investigations into my insider trading or bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public viewing. All minutes of meetings for any public corporation whose board I served on are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public viewing. Any records or minutes from meetings I (or my VP) attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review. For personal references please speak to my daddy or Uncle James Baker (They can be reached at their offices of the Carlyle Group for war-profiteering.) BUT - I am a REPUBLICAN, which means I oppose those damn socialists who would provide medical care for all Americans, in spite of the cost to us profiteering capitalists and who believe that all people are entitled to respect and equal treatment. Their philosophy could ruin this country. "RHINO'S BLOG" is the responsibility of Gary Rhine. (rhino@kifaru.com) Feedback, and requests to be added or deleted from the list are encouraged.
