I found this post above the post that Dave posted  which was referred by David Weinberger and orginally Boing Boing.
From Boing Boing Blog: Shrub's resume. Harper's Index-style list of GW Bush's accomplishments in and out of the Presidency, presented as a résumé.

Check it out, but will anyone care? As  Dave said yesterday in a brief rant , we'd be better off if we just assumed that what we read in the press and hear on TV are just lies, more damned lies, and statistics. Please, folks. stop believing what you read and hear in the press, and start seeking out alternative media and clear thinking bloggers and then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Please.
