The Temporary President

from the Dean Nation blog:

Temporary was George W. Bush's nickname in the Skull and Bones Society at Yale. Why? Because he was too lazy to think of one for himself:

[Bush], never fond of Eastern elitism, seriously considered joining a different secret society at Yale less known for ancient rituals than for its parties. Although he acceded to his father's wishes, he became a relatively unenthusiastic member who did not even bother thinking up the requisite Bones name for himself. He ended up being called Temporary

Given the latest polls, I think it still fits. In fact, given Bush's governing style, it really fits. I think a Google-bomb is in order.

Repeat after me, "George W. Bush: the Temporary President."

You thought Florida had problems? Just wait...... There's an interesting article in today's New York Times on high tech ballot boxes. (If you haven't already registered with NY Times to access these pages, just do it- it's free!) "To Register Doubts, Press Here" by Sam Lubel http://www.nytimes.com/2003/05/15/technology/circuits/15vote.html?8cir One paragraph in particular stuck out for me: "Mike Kernell, a longtime Tennessee state assemblyman from Memphis and a technology enthusiast, is concerned about future elections because the new machines are harder to get a look at. 'We used to be able to check the machines and see if they'd been tampered with,' he said. 'It is now almost impossible.' Mr. Kernell wonders whether he will have to hire a computer programmer in his next race to make sure the machines are working smoothly and haven't been tampered with. 'We've hit a brick wall,' he said." Of ...

So just why did America go to war with Iraq, anyways? While some conservatives are jumping for joy, declaring victory over this MidEast country, it's still a bloody mess, and America's troops still continue to die as a result of the chaos that's been unleashed. THE FIRST REASON was something to do with WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . So far, these weapons have not been found. In a Reuters-Yahoo news story recycled by the Daily Kos , is this recent entry: (Paul) Wolfowitz, seen as one of the most hawkish figures in the Bush administration's policy on Iraq, said President Saddam Hussein's alleged cache of chemical, biological and possibly nuclear weapons was merely one of several reasons behind the decision to go to war. "For bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason everyone could agree on," Wolfowitz was quoted as saying in Vanity Fair magazine's July issue. No chem...
