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. Accomplishments as president: * Attacked and took over two countries. * Spent the surplus and bankrupted the treasury. * Shattered record for biggest annual deficit in history. * Set economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12 month period. * Set all-time record for biggest drop in the history of the stock market. * First president in decades to execute a federal prisoner. * First president in US history to enter office with a criminal record. * First year in office 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, presided over the worst security failure in US history. * Set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips than any other president in US history. * In my first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their job. * Cut unemployment benefits for more out of work Americans than any president in US history. * Set the all-time record for most foreclosures in a 12 month period. * Appointed more convicted criminals to administration positions than any president in US history. * Set the record for the least amount of press conferences than any president since the advent of television. * Signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution than any president in US history. * Presided over the biggest energy crises in US history and refused to intervene when corruption was revealed.

Karlin Lillington considers the possibility that the rescue of Jessica Lynch was staged by US soldiers. [Scripting News] 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. 6:33:20 PM
