Oh, God, please don't tell me you're going to bring up that old toad again. This is the second time someone has brought that up on this board.
*sigh* For the uninitiate, if you go to Google and type in "Abject Failure" or some such thing, George Bush will come up. How this was done is that Google works on the number of hits. Create enough hits, that will be the first thing that comes up. Some guy (and his friends) with too much time on his hands created enough hits so that typing in "failure" gets you W. It's the electronic version of drawing a mustach on an election poster, and it's just about as clever.

The Decider Strikes Again....

President Bush lifted the drilling ban Tuesday for Alaska's Bristol Bay, clearing the way for the Interior Department to open the fish-rich waters to oil and natural gas development.
Alaska officials as well as local communities had asked for the ban to be lifted, but environmentalists have warned against drilling in the bay, which is also a major fishing area for salmon, crab and cod.
Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne said one or two lease sales in about 5.6 million acres of Bristol Bay will be considered for leasing in the department's upcoming five-year 2007-12 lease plan.
Separately, Bush lifted a drilling moratorium in an area of the central Gulf of Mexico known as Lease Area 181, making that area available to drilling.
The Gulf waters acted upon by the president is a small part of a much larger 8.2 million acres that were approved for oil and gas development by Congress last month in one of its last acts before adjournment.
"There will be significant opportunities for study and public comment before any oil and gas development could take place in these areas," said Kempthorne.
The Bristol Bay waters were set aside for protection by Congress 1990, but the ban was lifted in 2003 at the request of Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, who argued that the area's oil and natural gas could be developed while still protecting the fisheries.
But a separate presidential drilling ban was not to expire until 2012.

Considering My healthy disrespect for faulty authority, and the way I ventBAS wrote:... considering I protested going to war with Iraq, and a few other things like that, there is a decent possibility my email IS being read.)
about the government and administration online, I`ve wondered a couple times if I might be next on the list for a goon squad visit.
I just hope they find bigger fish to fry,... or we`re ALL in trouble.
...but if I DO disappear all of a sudden,
...please ask a few questions and send someone to look for me...ok?
Well, we'll try to do that, EDB. Not certain what will be happening with me if things go that far, though. (This kind of news makes one wonder if having a "bug bag" ready and waiting by the door isn't such a bad idea, and a route planed for getting out of the country...)

Oh, I dunno. I've heard Venezuela (sp?) is nice this time of year....
(Well, okay. Mostly I like Chavez because he keeps mocking Bush. I don't know how his plans will work out in the long term.)

I used to like W - even thought about voting for him once -
IMHO - George W Bush would be a great guy to go drinking with, would be a great business aprtner as even when you dont make a profit, you somehow get bailed out, and his families connections exceed the Kennedy's by far.
Should he run a country and the free world? No - i think not.

As entertained as I am by his simian gaze, his pecos drawl, and his nasal twang, I must agree that he isn`t a very good world leader.George W Bush would be a great guy to go drinking with, would be a great business aprtner as even when you dont make a profit, you somehow get bailed out, and his families connections exceed the Kennedy's by far. Should he run a country and the free world? No - i think not.
And what a record this guy`s got...
He dodged the draft....His friends knew him as an alcoholic womanizer with a bad temper....a total failure at business until his wealthy friends bailed him out. But still, within a few years he was elected Governor of Texas, and was quickly rocketed into the White House, after having lost the popular vote. He was RE-elected with last minute help from Osama Bin Laden, in spite of his HIGH disapproval ratings. He can`t think his way out of a wet paper bag ...and yet he's declared an endless war, and instituted some of the most radical and dangerous political changes in American history........dare I continue?
Here`s the Texan who SHOULD have been President. God bless Ann Richards!
